Do You Use A Jackhammer?

[Kooky Korky]

There are some pills that you just cannot open!

Does anyone remember and miss the days when every single pill did not come in its own individual little package?

And there was no need to struggle with wrappers because there weren't any!!

I fought with one today for a full minute before it gave way.

Not to mention there was a whole lot less trash when we did not have to unwrap, break through, dynamite every pill out of its own wrapper.

I am going to let the manufacturers of the ones I find the worst know how they could make nurses' lives a whole lot easier.

Yes, I do have scissors and a pen. Maybe switch to karate chops?

My migraine meds are now packaged in such a manner that you need to keep a scissors on your person in case you need to take one. I have, on occasion, used a pen, but I ruined a few that way.

Seriously, you feel like you have a jackhammer in your head...the last thing you should have to do is root around in your purse for trauma shears or the like.
