..an offal entry

....February 21, 2008
 

My cardiologist called me on Valentine's Day.  An extensive battery of tests revealed that my blood is a pinkish roux and my heart has completely calcified.  Since I cannot tolerate statins, the doctor prescribed Niaspan.  Niaspan is a time-released form of niacin.  Unfortunately, the pharmacist misread the prescription and sold me something called Niaspam.  I took Niaspam for a week before I discovered the error.  As it turns out, Niaspam is a time-released form of Spam prescribed to those whose diets include insufficient quantities of canned offal.

I know that many people would have filed suit against the pharmacist, but I just don't have the heart.
