An Easter Cautionary Tale

By Edwin Tan (c) 2012
Mrs Bunny, unable to cope with the loss of her partner, eventually turns to drink and later commits suicide. Junior is placed into foster care. His foster parents are abusive and he runs away to live on the streets. He turns to a life of hard drugs and prostitution . He dies alone in a gutter, his final words being: "Why, daddy? Why?"
Tragic.
And all this could have been avoided by verifying the name and address of the patient. Or even some simple counselling about the prescription product.
Sigh.
Anyway, wishing my readers a happy and safe Easter break!
