Question: Why do they have to make pills so damn big?
Yesterday went to the doctors. He was quite nice, but gave me several packets of pills. Two were okay and pretty small. I could swallow those in a gulp. However, he gave me two packets of antibiotics and painkillers. You know those capsules that are half red, half yellow? Yes, those.
I went home and attempted to swallow said red/yellow capsule. It stuck (whose bright idea was it to coat it with this sticky residue?) at the back of my mouth, where it dissolved into a horrible substance. It tasted like plastic and unfortunately I couldn't get it out or down so I was forced to drink glass after glass in order to wash the taste down.
So I devised a new method. Crack open capsule, dissolve capsule in grape juice.
But why do they have to be so damn big?
