[pct-l] First Aid Kit, was: Re: quick First Aid Quiz

[sabra985]

When I go for my physical, I plan to request a few things: Flagyl (because
giardiasis is miserable), Rx strength hydrocortisone and possibly prednisone
(because poison oak is miserable), and Diflucan (because yeast infections
are miserable).

Better living through chemistry!
