The Levaquin Lady

My Levaquin Lady has been on Levaquin, non-stop, for two years now. You see, everything has mold, which causes her to get a respiratory infection, and the only thing that will treat her is Levaquin. Right now she's up to a 750mg daily treatment every couple of weeks. Now based on how she smells when she comes to the pharmacy I'm certain she smokes 2-3 packs a day, but that's not the source of her respiratory problems. No, it's the mold. She knows this because her Internet-savvy, 26-year-old-living-at-home son looked it up on the Internet. The Internet never lies, and HE knows all about this and that because HE has looked it up. I didn't mention the evil landlord who won't do anything about the mold. He's to blame, too. He refuses to do anything about the mold. Evil man.

There's so many problems here. We have a doctor who throws out Levaquin scripts like candy, a mother who blames "the mold" for all her problems, and a son who enables here by finding "supportive" and "definitive" evidence on the world wide web.  

Soon we won't need pharmacists at all-- people will just be able to google their own counseling online. And you have to trust it, afterall, BECAUSE it's ON THE INTERNET...
