Hello Doctor
Published Jan 01, 1900
A distraught patient phoned her doctor's office. Was it true, the woman wanted to know, that the medication the doctor had prescribed was to be taken for the rest of her life? She was told that it was.
There was a moment of silence before the woman continued, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious my condition is.
This prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS.'"
