BTW I've been coveting that icon for quite a while now. May I gank it?

Have you heard Nate Bucklin's song, I Pop Pills? If not, that should be arranged soon.

[mdlbear]

Yes. The Austin Lounge Lizards have a good one, too, though I can't remember the title offhand.

Maybe I need to write a semi-serious song about anti-depressants.

Mmmm, druuuuuggs...
(Sometimes I wonder if any of today's psychoactive drugs would improve my life as drastically as they've improved life for several of my friends, including you. I'll never find out, though, because I can't afford them...)

It's my impression that some of the generics are fairly cheap.

I like that icon.

In order to get even generic drugs, I'd have to see a doctor who would write a prescription. But, since I don't live in a civilized country, I'd have to pay the doctor. Perhaps if that ever changes...

Feel free to steal the icon - I made it myself, a long time ago. It doesn't even really need to be "de-purple-ized".

Definitely a problem. If there's a medical school near you, I understand one can get inexpensive care from interns. One of my friends is getting weekly therapy sessions for less than my co-pay at Kaiser.

There's an enormous, prestigious medical school not too far from me... but there's no provision for cheap medical care from interns. The interns are too busy working in the university hospital, where patients are charged standard fees no matter who actually provides the care (unless, of course, it's an actual doctor, whose fees are added to the hospital's basic costs). I sure wish H.R. 676 would get passed...

[mdlbear]

Yeah.

That combination worked fine for me back in the 60's. She said, grinning, while attempting to look extremely innocent...

/me grins innocently.
