Write And Wrong

So last Saturday I bought 36 tablets of Daflon 500mg, as per doctor’s prescription. 36! Jeez. Sunday I started taking them. I’m supposed to drink three times a day for the first four days then twice a day for the next three days.

Wednesday evening as I was taking my third pill for the day, I told myself that tomorrow I’ll be cutting down my tablet intake. Then I looked at my remaining pills. Why are there still so many of them?

I looked at the doctor’s prescription again; I had to read it thrice because it was written in typical doctor’s lazy scribble. It said: “3 tablets twice a day for the first four days. Then 2 tablets twice a day for the next three days.”

Boink! Ay, is-tee-yuuu-fid!
