Lucky Punch

When considering medication side-effects—nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, headache, tiredness, blurred vision, to recite some of the more charming possibilities—I scoff. Admittedly, my reaction is a personal bias unrelated to pharmaceutical authority. The fact that I secretly desire to flaunt my excellent health (and make it known I have no use for drugs more potent than aspirin), is realized by a few who tolerate my egotism, question my motives and love me anyway.
