Drugs.

Do you think it's strange how the majority of us take medicine without taking the time to read their descriptions? We pop an advil, take a zpack...comfortable that what we are taking is going to cure us. We trust that it will heal and not bring about more problems.

I went to the UniCare Medical Center today in Prague to be told that I have bronchitis. I was given five different types of medicine, all for different aspects of the illness. When I opened up the description pages, what do you know, they were all written in Czech. I know I don't have anything to be worried about...CEA has been using this medical facility for years. Still, there is an uneasiness about the unfamiliarity that I have with these brands, and what they contain, though I'm certain I could find their comparison in the United States.

For the first time, I'm actually wanting to take the time out to read the descriptions on these things. Too bad, for the first time, I don't have the opportunity to do so.

I know these are all weird thoughts to post via-blog, but sitting looking at all my meds spread out on the table, I couldn't help myself.
