Shit, I hope you two aren't preparing MY medication!
Sometimes you just need to go to the doc to get a medical certificate saying, yep, you've got a cold, take a few days off work. DownUnda, a nurse in the Dr's practice can assess this, and sign the forms. They know to be on the lookout for more serious conditions - such as meningitis - but they bloody well better not be charging Doctors rates for it!
