AT THE CLINIC 

Doctor:  O, we should start on antibiotics na because your throat inflammation is moderate to severe already.  If you don’t take antibiotics, it would be worse this weekend.

Ria: (expecting so) Yes, doc. 

*The doctor scribbled the name of the antibiotics I should ask the meds dispensing counter. 

Meds Dispenser: Ay, doc, wala na nitong XXXX.

Doctor:  E yung YYYY?

Meds Dispenser: Wala na rin.

Doctor:  E yung ZZZZ?

Meds Dispenser: Wala na rin.

Doctor: Ano na lang ba nandyan?

Meds Dispenser: Yung AAAA na lang.

Doctor: O sige na nga, yun na lang.

Ria: Huh?!  (bubble thought:  is this for real? Safe kaya talagang inumin ko yung meds?)

* One officemate’s theory:  Maybe you’re being used as a medical experiment.

* Jove’s theory: Maybe, they first dispense the cheap meds kaya siguro ubos na the ones the doctor initially asked for.  So, in effect, you probably got one of the most expensive and good antibiotics J

I truly hope the latter theory is correct!
