I went to hospital to have a wisdom tooth removed
Before the slightly sadistic surgeon started maiming my mouth he said:
"Have you seen the film Marathon man"
I have, and I didn't appreciate the joke, but saying so was a bit tricky with a mouth full of cotton wool. This is what he was talking about: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPQ7KMCrPLE
After the surgeon had finished abusing my face he said:
"This is a prescription. You need to take this to the pharmacy to get some painkillers. Take 4 of the immediately and hopefully they'll kick in before the local anesthetic wears off... if they don't you'll be in SEVERE pain"
So off I trotted to the hospital pharmacy. I gave them my prescription and was promptly told I'd have to wait until their computer was fixed before I could get my drugs.
I love the NHS, me.
