see, and this is why i don't like doctors.



Don't get me wrong. I do appreciate the healthcare system in Japan. When a consultation with a doctor AND medicine is covered for around $15, I can't really complain too much. But seriously, can't you shove all of this in just a regular pill? That's not even including the three other medicines I have in powder form, which come in single use packs for you to pour directly into your mouth, before sculling 2 litres of water to remove that "I have a tablet in my mouth that I can't swallow and now tastes gross" flavour that lingers.

I am always a little traumatised going to the doctor though. A visit to the doctor here involves entering a usually-busy waiting room, lining up to see the receptionist, and telling her what your illness is. In front of everyone else. I do feel sorry for anyone who has come to the doctor for an STD something. Actually, maybe they purposely do that as a deterrent...
