My mom took me to the doctor yesterday because I had missed 2 days of school due to a head cold, fever and sore throat. I am a senior and taking some hojnor classes so missing school really puts you behind. He told my mom I had really bad tonsils and was going to put me on antibiotics for 10 days. She said why not give her a shot won't that work faster. He said I usally don't, but I we could do that. A nurse came back in a few minutes and told me to unfasten my pants and lay on my stomach. My butt was bared and then I felt a jab. I hollered out and my mom said, be quiet beofre you scare all of the kids. It was a very large syringe. I knew why my butt hurt when I saw the needle. The nurse told my mom to return in 3 days if not better for another shot. No way in hell am I coming back for round two.

Hi,
I guess it's a matter of where you live and guts...LOL

I find, in NY, doctors are not so quick to give shots as opposed to pills. In fact, No doctor has suggested a shot in 30 years, to me.....

I give you credit for guts. For even though you knew it would hurt, you did it. I would have been afraid and just taken the pills.

Whenever I do take antibiotic pills, I take two the first dose. I was told by my doctor, that pills too, start working right away. It's only a matter of whether they affect your stomach in a bad way...

So, you have a lot more guts then I do...LOL

Tim
