Re: Doctor visit

I always have this vision of people wasting the doctors time with questions
about drugs that have nothing to do with them at all.  As if the doctors
aren't busy enough.  One of the side effects of a certain drug is rectal
bleeding.  I would have to have a very horrible disease to put up with
rectal bleeding as a side effect!
