Seems I have a combo of acute tonsillitis and the flu. Ace.

Every time I get a bout of tonsillitis I like to compare mine with Phil Hiett's horror bout (warning: do not view immediately before/after eating).

I hope the pharmacy didn't stiff you for the medicine.
$20 for the pair of them should have covered the damage. Cilamox should have been way cheaper than the PHS price and the Difflam shouldn't have been over $10.
Despite some advertising you may have seen on TV, my experience with pharmacies is they love stiffing for full price pills rather than the cheaper generics.

I also hate going into the places, it's not a place for men, especially semi-literate ones like me who are barely able to make a mark where you're supposed to sign the prescription. The sooner the government links this to medicare cards and makes it as simple as flashing a card, the better.
