What is not as simple as it seems?
Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. Then scroll back up and see what I have to complain about. Or you can wait until afterward . . . I’m not the boss of you. You know what? Don’t write anything for all I care! A clever comment can be harder to construct than it may seem.
. . .here are my thoughts.
What is not as simple as it seems?
Anyone who’s frequented a pharmacy has seen technicians in the back pushing pills across a counting tray. And anyone who’s had a UTI, skin infection, or any number of other bacterial infections has taken those big, chalky, generic Bactrim tablets. That white dust of the sulfa antibiotic gets all over the counting tray and spatula. Immediately onto that powdery tray goes the next medication, easily picking up a slight white tinge as it’s counted. You would think it’d be a simple concept: tray gets dirty, tray gets cleaned. Not always so. I’d go as far as to say rarely so. Keep this in mind if you have a severe—especially anaphylactic—allergy to any of the common chalky tablets (sulfa, codeine). A white discoloration on any of your other medications could potentially (but unlikely) be quite serious. I wonder if there’s ever been a lawsuit claiming an anaphylactic reaction (or even death) as a result of what is preventable with a single alcohol swab. Surely there’ve been sillier, more frivolous, cases than this that have reaped millions in compensation.
