pharmacist in lab coat: yes how can i help you?
me: i need something for my gastric pain.
pharmacist in lab coat: how severe is it? me: severe enough for me to leave a fairly important meeting, drive 20 minutes here to get the meds from you because the chewable tablets that the company nurse gives me, they dont cut it anymore.
pharmacist in lab coat: sorry?
me: yes...erm..pretty severe. i'm in a lot of pain. i can hardly stand.
pharmacist in lab coat: oh.... take........this (hands me a packet of pills). it's only 10 ringgit.
me: there's 7 tiny pills....each would be.....a dollar 40. they better do the job
pharmacist in lab coat: (grin)
and boy did it work. i swallowed one with a glass of water i begged from the mamak restaurant next door (i tried to give him rm50 but he had no change!). by the time i was back at intel the pain had subsided so much i felt like jumping in the street like mary freakin poppins.
but of course....the side effect...i burped the entire afternoon like a freakin toad in copulation.
p/s: get Omeprazole 20mg! they do the job!
