Medicines
As I line up my pills and tablets for morning consumption, I wonder (not for the first time) what would happen if I ceased to take these little miracle workers of the modern age. Popular wisdom would state that I’d be long dead without them, but there’s really no proof of that. Judging by the pharmaceutical adverts on television, each of these tiny wonder workers have their unwanted side effects, which would indicate that many of them do as much harm as good.
My recent adventures in the land of medical interventions has changed my daily intake of pills slightly, one or two disappearing, only to be replaced by newcomers. And my list of bodily weaknesses and crumblings has extended into areas I knew nothing of until now. It seems that old age will get you whatever you choose to swallow.
So I toy with the idea of going without all these medicines but I doubt I’ll ever give them up. It’s a minor inconvenience after all, and I am constrained by responsibilities to take care of my health.
Doesn’t stop it from being mildly annoying, however.
