Anecdotes of Adulthood

so i hauve covid rn and i must say, American cold medicine is the absolute bees knees. You go to a UK pharmacy and they tenderly press like eight (8) paracetamol into the palm of your hand... God FORBID you're sick in France, i had to scour every pharmacy in Paris for something that wasn't HOMEOPATHIC PASTILLES. meanwhile last night i took the last of my stash of Nyquil that expired in 2019 and it was like getting hit by a fucking baseball bat (affectionate). press X to timeskip. LOVE me a cheeky little medically induced coma. you can really feel that it's a precursor to meth. i know that everything is fucking awful over there my friedns and my heart goes out to every one of you but if you need one small bright light of national pride in this time of strife please know that i envy you your cold medicine every day

i once took an american antihistamine pill just a basic one for seasonal allergies and i had to immediately lay down and while doing so i vividly hallucinated that i was a steerage passenger on the titanic resigned to my death as my cabin filled up rapidly with water. then i blacked out and when i woke up again my allergies were gone for the entire season.

The Hat Man is our greatest export

Our industrial sized thing of paracetamol (acetaminophen) is almost gone and I despair because I am not going to the US any time soon.

😭

"Liver failure in a bottle" is fucking right.

Look, America is good at Pharmaceuticals, but Canada will sell me Acetaminophen with Metcarbamol (a muscle relaxant) over the counter. My Chronically Ill ass will happily sing Oh Canada for this stuff. Bless living a 2 hour drive from the border.
