your brother is not a (guinea) pig!

i dunno if my sister's making fun of me or if she sees me as a lab rat tried several times for gluttony.

me: (feeling helpless)"ang sakit ng left arm ko ate."
sister: "uhmm... check mo yung mga tablets sa lalagyan. yung mefenamic hanapin mo."

i go to the drawers to look...

me: "wala namang mefenamic dito eh."
sister: "kunin mo na lang yung isa pang white tablet jan. pwede rin yun."
me: (a bit hesitant) "pwede kaya sa akin ito? baka allergic na naman ako dito. nung last time..."
sister: "wala yung dating gamot mo eh. try mo na lang."

my arm was aching so badly that i took it regardless of my apprehensiveness. after 30 minutes...

me: (mildly hysterical) "ate, bakit ganito yung mata ko! para akong kinagat ng malaking ipis sa mata!"
sister: (calmly) "ah, jan ka pala allergic. tandaan mo na lang yung gamot na yan. (smiles) just drink four tablets of steroid para maalis na yan."
me: "haay..."

lesson learned? never trust a doctor who is unsure of the medicine she's prescribing to you... even if she's your beloved sister.
