Ok, so when I'm NOT in school there is this stuff called "free time" that I get to utilize. That stuff is amazing and rather addicting. It also paves the way for such social activities as drink until you get a fatty liver, or read to your hearts content. Now we all know what most of the general population will do...
Well, in my case I do a bit of it all. I throw in a lot of TV time too (which is where I got this blog title... stupid delicious wheaties). As I gear up for another school year I feel terrified and daunted by the dreaded "second year". Will my fatty liver recover in time for after exam drink-a-thons to forget that horror that just passed? Will I ever catch up on these TV shows that I just discovered?? (probably not)
I'm going to bet good money that any new rx ads that come up on TV after I start school will become a patient question. I hadn't watched tv in years until this past summer. I had a patient come up to me and as a question about a "commercial she saw last year" for an OTC med about a "purple pill" and if I've heard of it. Having not watched TV in a while I and racked my brain for this magical purple pill I asked for more details.
What is this medication for?
"I DON'T KNOW. DON'T YOU REMEMBER THE COMMERCIAL? IT SAID I NEEDED IT!!!"
Umm... If you don't know what it's for, or what you want it to treat... I'm going to go with you don't need to put this mystical pill into your body. Have a grape lollipop instead.
Ah... I can't wait.

Whoa. OK. Medicines are NOT candies. They shouldn't be just popped in coz you felt like it. LOL!
I have so many books that I don't know where to start so I really understand how you feel about the TV shows. But apart from that - I am seeing the past posts of your blog reappear on my blog roll. For the life of me I can't figure out why. *shrug* May be a bug in the system of Blogger?
