take two of these and call me in the morning

my doctor
is honest. i'll give him that.
most of the time
he'll say
beats me,
when staring at a rash
on my chest,
or looking
into my mouth and exclaiming
what the hell
is that?
sometimes he'll
get out a book, or google
my ailments.
scrolling until
he finds
the right pill, or remedy
that he thinks
might work.
here, he'll say.
try two of these and
call me
in the morning.
if you start to shake and vomit,
lose your
vision,
911 might be your best bet.
