Recently, I had tonsilitis. I thought that was for kids, but I guess I was wrong. So I went to the doctor, and he gave me some pills. Six pills, three times a day, for three days. That's the way they do it here. Three days of medicine.

It didn't work. It still hurt to eat, so I was medicating myself with Panadol and lots of water. But on the weekend, I said, "fuck this." I went to a pharmacy, and told them I needed antibiotics. And they sold me some. One pill, three times a day. I felt better within hours.

Here, the pharmacy can sell you whatever they've got if they think you need it. Next week, I'm going to walk in to one all twitchy and hopped up on coffee, and see if they'll sell me some Valium.
