The Born Loser by Art & Chip Sansom STONEMAN'S PHARMACY Pharmacist: May I help you? Brutus: I just had this prescription refilled here today... Brutus: But when I got home, I noticed the pills looked different than the ones you've given me in the past for this prescription... Brutus: I know you sometimes switch manufacturers of generic drugs and those pills will often look different, but I want to be sure these are the correct pills for my prescription. Pharmacist: Let's see...well, you can rest easy - these are the correct pills for your prescription. Brutus: That's good. So the pills look different because the manufacturer changed? Pharmacist: No, the pills look different because the old pills you were taking were the wrong ones!

Does it scare anybody to realize that doctors don’t get paid to keep you well, only to keep you alive. They have trouble collecting from the other kind.

Hollie, you really need to stop spouting off about things you know nothing about. Just because ADHD isn’t in your bible doesn’t mean there’s no such thing.

“You take a pill, then you take two more pills to cure the side effects of the first pill.”Or go back to the Dark Ages, take no pills, and let the disease have its way with you. Your choice.
