We’ve kind of been rolling the trifecta with colds.<\/p>\n
Sharon*<\/sup> has been on antibiotics for a cough and sinus for a few days, and after being blown off by our kid’s pediatrician’s replacement doc, so we went to an urgi-care clinic, and we got diagnoses for them, and me as well, since I had a nagging cough, and it had gotten bad enough that I wasn’t waiting until I saw my doctor at my regularly scheduled appointment with my doctor.<\/p>\n Charlie has a sinus infection, Natalie’s sinus infection migrated down to pharyngitis, and mine had migrated down to a full blown bronchitis.<\/p>\n In addition, Marilyn, my mother-in-law is at Sinai Hospital for what appears to be pneumonia.<\/p>\n So, what does this have to do with the drug war?<\/p>\n Well, in addition to antibiotics, both Charlie and I were prescribed decongestants, and both of these medications contained Pseudoephedrine, and so I could not buy both, because federal regulations say that it’s too much, and we might \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 cook meth.<\/p>\n The war on drugs is, to misappropriate the words of Nietzsche, like the bite of a dog into a stone, it is a stupidity.<\/p>\n *<\/sup>Love of my life, light of the cosmos, she who must be obeyed<\/span>, my wife.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’ve kind of been rolling the trifecta with colds.
