two months ago:
(setting: FortMed medical clinics, makati city)
doctor: you've been getting acute nasopharyngitis and allergic rhinitis quite a lot lately.
me: um, yes po.
doctor: hmm. (looking at my medical chart) alright, let's just start you up on virlix for a week and then if the symptoms don't go away, balik ka nalang dito okay?
me: okay.
doctor: by the way, what multivitamins do you take?
me: um, i take clusivol, sometimes a little bit of extra vitamin c, and vitamin e.
doctor: kasi the other doctors and i had a study on the different commercialized multivitamins in the market right now.. turns out hindi lahat sila bioavailable, meaning your body doens't necessarily absorb them well. so we searched for vitamins na gumagana and we found this, "tegreen 97" and it turns out to be the most effective.
me: (interested) tegreen po? isn't that made by pharmanex? (my mom has loads of pharmanex meds, for reasons i have yet to know)
doctor: oo pharmanex yun. i was just wondering if you'd like to try that sometime. kasi yung sister ko, ganyan din ang problem niya. but when she takes the vitamins, she never gets sick like that again.
me: wow. okay then. (smiles excitedly)
one month ago:
mama: o, eto na yung phamanex na pinababili mo.
me: (looks at the bottle: 30 capsules. looks at the dosage: 1 to 4 capsules per day. looks at the price: 3000 pesos.) WOAH. this really must work.
this morning:
me: (38.1 fever. cough. colds. major headache. missed one day of classes.) vitamins suck.
