Say It Ain't So Already

I Just Took Some of Those Dangerous Drugs Made in Canada

For the past week I’ve been fighting a terrible cold.  You know, the works:  sore throat, phlegm-filled lungs, a hideous cough, watery eyes, a nose like a faucet, sinus pressure and, at times, a fever.  In sum, I’m miserable.

I don’t like to take medication but, desperate to feel even just a little bit better, I picked up some “Coricidin HBP – Chest Congestion & Cough” yesterday, along with two boxes of lotion Kleenex (what a great invention).

First thing this morning I took two of the Coricidin.  While standing at the kitchen sink drinking a glass of water trying to get them down, I killed time looking at the box the pills came in.  To my horror — the pills were at that moment dissolving in my stomach — I saw that they were “Made in Canada.”  Aaaaaahhhh!

Yes, they’re “distributed” by “Schering-Plough HealthCare Products, Inc.” which is based in Memphis, but they’re made in Canada!

OMG.  The next few hours will tell whether I live or die.  After all, drugs made in Canada aren’t safe. They can’t be trusted.  Who knows what the hell’s in them. I mean, other countries don’t care about their people like the U.S. does.  They put all kinds of crap in their pills without a care in the world.  Their stuff isn’t good enough for us.

Now I’m sweating.

Pray for me.

(Moral of the story:  The argument against the reimportation of drugs from Canada is bullshit.  It’s already being done.)
