Withdraw

Attended a regular meeting.

No, it is not really a meeting, but, rather, a kind of gathering which we are supposed to receive messages and instructions from extraterrestrials.

Message #1 this time: Drug D will be removed from our pharmacy. It is to be replaced by D - the same medication basically, except for the dosage schedule.

Sitting at the back of the meeting room, AN asked, “Why should that happen? D has been around for so long and D has nothing different!”

She was right, and I share her frustration. The old and the new preparations are even similar in their costs. Nonetheless, because D is commonly used, we have to explain what’s going on to all these patients.

“There are adverse incidents related to D reported.” CP murmured.

I smiled, “Of course! It may cause choking and suffocation if not swallowed properly!”
