I'm addressing this to you because you work in the health industry and are probably more familiar with it than any of us. Anyway, so I'm feeling a lot better after a single anti-inflammatory pill. Why was I prescribed 60? It seems so wasteful. I could get away with 10.

you're not asking me but if it's ok i'll answer anyway

three reasons i think one your insurance covers it two the doc doesn't want to you be in pain if you don't need to be and three patient satisfaction

you can be worried about the waste good for you but unfortunately most don't care

I'm an accountant, you do realize that, right?

Nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but from personal experience - a decade or two ago I developed this odd rash. Right around the time my hair started thinning, I thought something was wrong so I went to the doctor. She had no idea what the rash was, my blood tests all came up negative. Pitirisis Rosea or something like that was the default diagnosis and she prescribed tetracycline. Maybe two weeks worth. I took it for a week and it went away and on my follow-up visit a week later I told her I stopped taking it. She pretty much came short of calling me a dumbfuck redneck, told me that I was prescribed the correct amount and was to have taken the entire prescription as prescribed.

She was kinda cute though, I was a little turned-on by the degradation.

Yeah, but you work in that industry, right? For hospitals and such? I don't know...I just figured you might know.

Well it's really for anyone to answer. Thanks. Your answer makes sense. It does kind of bother me but I guess if I ever have a flareup again I won't need to see a physician.

It's awful, I think some people think I'm retarded because my handwriting is so bad.

My assistant would regularly translate my handwriting to other people, she had it figured out.
