… You’re Sick? Here’s some pills!

One of those things about living in a different country is getting used to the health care system.

For instance, I went to the doctor yesterday for a nagging cough which developed and a general cold/flu… anyway I walked out with the following:
Expected:
Cough Syrup
Antibiotics
Unexpected:
Anti-inflammatory Tablets
Tablets for my “sputum”
Heavy pain killers
Tablets to stop my stomach bleeding from the other tablets

Anyway, I found it a fascinating exercise :) Thank God that I have a doctor to go to, and can afford to go!
