The cost of modern medicine is outrageous. The ER prescribed an antibiotic for me: Cephalexin 500MG capsules, 21 pills to be taken once every 8 hours for seven days. These things are big, bad, red and expensive.

The total price for the whole bottle at Walgreens was one dollar! I remember back in the day when I could have picked up something like this for fifty cents, seventy five at the most. Thank god I'm doing ok and I can afford it, but a lot of folks aren't as fortunate.

I hate taking pills but I might as well pop one of them hydrocodone things I got from the dentist with my lunchtime big red boy. Maybe it will take care of my headache...
