Drug companies are evil. If you have something that works, insist that they give you that one, and only that one.

I was at a support group one time and a women told a story about getting red pills instead of her normal white ones. She ended up in the ER with a terrible reaction. She nearly died. She was allergic to something in the dye. I haven’t taken a red pill since.
