Prescriptions

When I was a kid, doctors always prescribed aspirin. When I was about 10, I was waiting in the accident ward to be checked for what turned out to be a broken collar bone, and the doctor gave me an aspirin as first aid. I have never been able to take tablets without water, and I almost choked.

For a few years now, doctors have diagnosed everything as a virus. It's a virus, there's nothing to be done, just give it time, and yes of course you can go on working.

Now there's a change. My last few visits have all resulted in the diagnosis of a stiff neck. Whatever the problem, the root cause is a stiff neck. You just have to take these tablets and relax.

Relax, I said!

RELAX!!!!
