.....
Henry was back in the doctor's office waiting to see the doctor for the second time in one week. He had seen the doctor a few days earlier because he was feeling strange, not sick, but weird. The doctor told Henry that he was completely healthy and that made Henry angry. He wasn't healthy, he didn't feel healthy, he felt weird.
"When was the last time you felt fine?"
Henry thought about this question before answering," When I was confessing something to someone."
"Well, why don't you try doing that again and see if you better."
"I already thought of that and it didn't work. I still feel strange."
"Ok, I think I have the solution. A new pill has helped people in your situation."
The doctor prescribed a pill that would help Henry, and told Henry to take them at his discretion. There was no overdosing on this pill, you could take as many necessary to cure the strange feeling. Henry asked what kind of pills they were and the doctor replied, "amendment pills."
"They have pills for that?"
"They have pills for everything."
That day Henry took half the bottle of pills prescribed. The strange feeling would leave, but it was replaced with a feeling of remorse and he didn't understand why. He couldn't think of anything in which he should be remorseful and this made the strange feeling he had been trying to get ride of intensify.
"Doctor what are these feeling of remorse and disdain in the pit of my stomach?"
"These are the side effects from taking the pills."
"Well, what can be done?"
"I can prescribe another pill, but this pill is considered unecessary by the insurance companies and therefore will not be covered under your insurance. It is quite expensive and advise you to find the true cause of this feeling, this way there is permanant solution."
"I need that pill then. Nevermind a permanent solution, the present is all that matters and at the present I cannot function."
"Henry, this is only a temporary solution."
"Good because life is only temporary."
"Like any overused medicine, they start to become ineffective."
"Until that day comes, I'm happy being a pill popper."
