Don't worry; won't pry further. I can't talk about my Army stuff, either.

nah, it's alright. You were just asking. 
Though what happened in that time is really something not suited for a public forum.

That really was an all day event. I got an upper respiratory infection in Basic, spent the day waiting for some pills. I would have preferred being in training that day.

Ah cool! Sorry for prying. I worked with a few Royal Air Force peeps back in the day. A few Canadian Armed Forces folks, too.

The joys of spending the whole day hanging around the med centre during basic. I forget how many people I saw and how many tests I did.

But then considering I once got a painless injection in my mouth, I think it's safe to say there was no shaking

I don't remember any old dentists in my time, though the masks may ahve made it hard to tell as well

See, I'll happily pay for dentistry, because the military dentist scared the living crap out of me. They were all about 70 years old and shaky and just... not good.

Ah yes, the military do provide a good system. While I never need more than a couple of small things done, I loved not paying for detistry.

That sounds like our military healthcare system. I daresay if the healthcare system goes universal here it'll be a lot like what I remember from my Army days.

Ah, my bad, I should have mentioned it was France. No, here we have very few pharmacies, mainly because the NHS is free and you only go to a pharmacy to buy medicine and colelct prescriptions.

Oh no, perfectly legal. I think it's the way their healthcare system works. A lot of it is high street based.

Well that's always handy. It looks like a pretty snazzy place too. I don't know about 24 hour pharmacies, but I *do* know that most of the streets in Paris have 24 pharmaacies on them!

I work near Wash, DC. There's quite a few all-night places. There's even a 24-hour pharmacy nearby, which is nice.

We have supermarkets that sometimes open for 24 hours, but that's about it.

Ha! I guess that is a problem. I'm currently around the corner from an all-night diner, but I should probably eat what I have here.

Blech. I don't get the love for cold pizza. The taco was limp. Threw it away. Now on the prowl for better food. Thinking noodles. Posting without pronouns.

If I wanted to torture myself, I'd do it at home and wouldn't have to pay $9.50.
