The ocelot with the stick is Tak. I put up a bio page about him on my pin-up a long time ago.
Rant time!! This is to any doctors who may read this strip. (Fat chance I know.) Just because I don't have any medical insurance doesn't mean that I can't pay or that I deserve my treatment to be delayed for over two hours! How friggin hard is it to write a prescription for anti-biotics!? And on top of that, did I get anti-biotics? Hell no! I got a prescription of vicodin… VICODIN!?!?!? I'm not recovering from an injury, I have a friggin cold!! WTF am I gonna use a pain killer for!?!? UHG!! The doctor was rude, the nurse was rude, the only saving grace was the receptionist! She was the only one who treated me with respect even though she knew I had no insurance. Times like this I wish I was Canadian or English!!
Trust me you don't want to be English- it's a free health service providing youre not a cancer patient who wants drugs that could help improve your quality of life. If you are then tough, youre on your own. Hospitals are filthy and if MRSA doesn't kill you then the food will.
Responces: (Late I know!)
Mylar: Yes it does.
Raziel: Eh?
Lildarkdragon: Well, not all the felines are evil.
An interesting point you make about the vicodin. But I would rather have a drug that attacked the cold, rather than masked the symptoms. (But I'm not a doctoor, I'm a mechanic.)
Abitdark: Correction noted.
Abitdark: You wouldn't happen to work for the judicial system would you?
Raziel: Still waiting for a responce to that medical insurance deal.
Sakura: That sound like a better solution that what I was given.
Dragonki: Thanks fer the 5.
ConfusedSoul: I have seen it. I will have to say that it made me wish I liven in Canada or England. (If you think it was an over glorified vew of the NSH I'd love for you to tell me why. I always like hearing both sides of the story.)
Error: Thanks fer the 5.
Mutation: Thanks, I am feeling much better now.
Faithie: Yikes! She wasn't able to walk for a while!? What the hell happened?
Magical M: Thanks fer the 5.
Mallor: Thanks fer the 5.
RMcool: Thanks fer the 5.
Simpan: Thanks fer the 5.
Fignal: Sometimes the old stand by is the best medicine.
Kali: Yeah, I know. But still, the only time I go to the doctor is when I really need to. You'd think that they would at least try to fight the cold rather than mask the symptoms.
MOrgan: Thanks fer the 5.
RealityTwist: Yes it is! And your welcome on Shadow Paw. You've got a nice comic there.
hm a crazy twist in the plot! i was looking at that guy on the last page and i thought he looked so familiar but i couldn't place it. who knew he'd be so helpful after all yeah? :)
Terribly sorry about your nasty experience at the doctor's office...Well it is flu season after all, so its no wonder you got delayed so horribly long, (i know, i'm a student at the hospital, its amazing the amount of flu cases we get now) but if you wanted to know, basically Vicodin combines a narcotic analgesic (painkiller) and cough reliever with a non-narcotic analgesic for the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain, (clear as muddy water?), simply put, it's actually really similar to Tylenol, but with more chance of addiction. Of course i'm not really specialized in pharmacology so i'm not sure why your doctor prescribed vicodin of all things for your cold, (sounds like he was thinking it would relieve your headache), but it also sounds like he didn't think your cold was that serious and was just trying to get rid of you..But then again, haha what do i know?? i'm just a lowly student... and i wasn't even there... so i know nothing :)
1. Ouch to the Kitty...
A Painful 5 out of 5
2. You need medical Insurance, there are plenty of free ones that the US Government (The only thing they are ACTUALLY GOOD FOR) sponsors for people like us....
All you have to do is hunt them down and get the best one for FREE.... PM me for more details....
Again Great comic and looking forward in future comics...
Also, when you get a chance, PM me.. I need an artist and you actually fit that artist style...
Yeah. That's why I'm gonna go to med school; it's so sad how there are like...no more doctors who follow the Hypocratic Oath anymore. D: Them being so slow and inefficient's the reason my baby sister was unable to walk for a ahile.
OK then, I will give you my perscription!
Stay warm, stay dry, eat chicken soup and vitamin c and sleep.
There! and you did not need a doctor to give it to you!
Fantastic comic by the way!
I dunno Toshubi, i think it may be because some pain killers contain anti inflamitories but they're not essential. Your'e being ripped off. NOt all doctors are like that though, you just got the crap deal...
Is that a small dart I see in the wolf's back?
It sucks that you are sick. I don't get why they prescribed you pain meds either.
Thanks for your 2 cents on Shadow Paw BTW.

They must have gotten your perscription mixed up with House's (If you don't get the joke i'm not telling what it means)

I feel just as ill as you at the moment! I know how you feel! But soup, vitamins and sleep are the best thing for you! Fantastic page by the way!
confusedsoul at 12:28PM, Feb. 3, 2008
Hmmm, you haven't been watching Sicko have you? That had a pretty glorified view of the Nhs, so I'm told.
Mutation at 1:47PM, Feb. 2, 2008
I'm sorry to hear that Toshi! *Hugs*
