Good one.

Run while you still can, Mrs. Hickman! Or is one of the side effects the inability to run?

either cure ya or kill ya

make sure the “pamphlet” is printed on tissue paper with microscopic print. Sure to keep you entertained.

Death by doctor ( or health care system ) is the 3rd leading cause of accidental death in the US

While the drug companies & health care system are protected from legal action by the US gummint

side effects may include runny nose, falling arches, excessive hair growth and death!

Went to the doctor yesterday and he had a book in the room which listed medicines and everything about them. After reading all the possible side effects, my conclusion – Don’t take ANYTHING if you can avoid it!

Side effects include drowsiness, sleeplessness, constipation, diarrhea …

I had to take one drug for a few months that turned out to be a chemotherapy drug. The information I was given by the doctor listed it as a carcinogen. I trusted the doctor and took it, and I still seem to be here, 24 years later…

That would have been a lot funnier if it wasn’t so close to the truth.

Side effects include hernia and back pain from lifting pamphlet.

Must be a prescription for Cymbalta.

If my medicines had that big of a pamphlet, I’d say “No thanks, I’ll just suffer the disease.”
