Hack This

#96: Wretched Over Retching

Acute bronchitis. That's what she said I had. And since that's not just the doctor speaking, that's Asian Hospital speaking, I believe her...err, I mean, it... or them. (I was assured that Acute Bronchitis is just their cute medical term for inflammed bronchial tube. Ah. As cute as my hacking cough, I see.) So I obediently headed off to Mercury Drug to buy the drugs that are meant to make me well, but were in fact killing me with their prices. At around 70% gross margins, I was more than ready to retch.

Anyway, she/it/they promised that I would start feeling the improvement tomorrow so by the time I wake up, I expect to either be all good and shiny and ready to work, or to have to take sick leave again. Hmm. I see we have a win-win situation here.

And so, with such a happy prospect, I waltz to the store across the pharmacy and buy myself a...BOOK. Grin. (Yes, money for medicine hurts. But money for books... well, they don't even count, remember?)
