Some day soon our prescriptions will come along with a 20 pound tome listing every conceivable thing that could happen if you take this. Some side effects valid, the rest pulled out of a medical dictionary to cover their legal a$$es.

"Taking this medication on Tuesday if it's raining may cause compulsive gambling."

I once was prescribed a certain drug after I broke my arm.

I read the possible side effects disclaimer, bloody stool, no stool, liver failure, heart failure, sexual dysfunction, inability to swallow, inclination to slobber,inability to attain erection, swelling of ankles, stomach cramps, nausea, potential tachycardia, pustules, losss of hair, body rash, and ex-wife could sue for increased support.

I opted for an over the counter, unnamed pain reliever.

Plus an extra copy in Spanish.
