Gotta go take my "bitch pill"!; July 4, 2010 at 7:45 PM

Or, perhaps murder... since my Captcha was 'buryin'.; July 6, 2010 at 11:15 AM
Nectarine said...: She is on a "bitch pill" - would have suggested a direct patient quote.

"She is on a bitch pill" - definately makes it look like someone else is describing her ie. the doctor

Either way, why would you write that down? Certainly could have been phrased better.; July 6, 2010 at 2:16 PM
