"Oh well, I fell sick. At this time of the year. Well that has to be expected... since everyone around's falling sick as well. First Suren, then Ee Lin, then Wai Kit (I'd say he's 80% responsible for me falling sick this time, the dude sits besides me in class, every time he coughs I feel things land on my sleeve....)... and now to me it comes!"
"OH SHIT"
That's probably what the me 3 years ago would've said. Now, well I guess I AM prepared.... with Cetirizine and Albuterol at my disposal, and even Augmentin if things turn nasty....
Coming to drugs, just when I thought I was terrible at pharmacology, I saw a friend of mine from high school, currently studying medicine in Indonesia, asking her fellow mate to take Metapyrone for her fever. And I was left there thinking... what was the relation of a 11-beta monooxygenase inhibitor to an antipyretic... till the sick one came and clarified that she meant Methampyrone. Which elicited this response from me.
"Good grief I never realized the significance of drug sound-alike/look-alike issues till now"
Well I guess that's why Indonesian students will always remain at the bottom of the specialists' black books.
Personally I feel even more sicker of people who try too hard to attract attention. At least please learn to differentiate between 2 totally different words... oh wait, on second thought it'd be better to go back and re-learn the whole damn language. We wouldn't want you to have the same issues as Indonesian students next time now, do we? Sound-alike issues?
And some people, not naming anyone here, of course... but
どこまで優等生なんだよ?
結局、お前はただの情けないやつだけだ。
