Considering how dangerous everything is, nothing is very terrifying.This quote just cracked me up. I know it. I know the truth in this. How often have I watched as a doctor in a hazmat suit carries over to me a lead-lined, padlocked box, extracts from it a metal-encased syringe with the word "DANGER" written all over it, and then inject the contents of the syringe into my body? How often have I layed down on an x-ray machine and submitted myself to millions of radioactive particles as my mom and the technicians wear a suit made of lead behind a glass wall? How many times have I drank a bit of liquid that was meant to be injected because it showed more response as an oral medication as opposed to an IV one? How many times have I taken drugs that are designed to make me better but leave me feeling worse than I started?
