AIR-CLINIC WRITING CONTEST 26: POISON, TOXINS & KILLERS
It took me a while before I realized that there are virtually no difference between Poisons; Toxins and Killers. They are intertwined, Poisons are Toxins and Toxins are Killers.

The result of the diagnosis on Bose showed that she was poisoned. Poisoned? Yes! She was, by excessively taking the therapeutic drugs she uses. She must have thought that it would relieve her of migraine headache as quick as possible, the doctor said. I stood up with immense anger and said “from which stupid chemist did she get such drugs from? Such person should be jailed for risking the life of others by selling substandard and expired drugs.” Calm down, the Doctor said to me. It’s not the chemist’s fault, a drug could be poisonous if it is used in an inappropriate way (overdose to be precise) but if used in a prescribed quantity by a certified Pharmacy or Doctor, it is harmless and it helps to cure chronic diseases. Gone are the days when people solely rely on drugs derived from herbs to cure their sicknesses. Researchers are tasked with a lot of experimenting in a desperate search for cure to life threatening diseases. Thorough research shows that most of these illnesses can be cured by poisoning the virus or bacteria propagating the disease. This brought about the use of toxins obtained from plant and animals such as snake venom and foxglove for the production of certain drugs. This is the basic reason for drug prescription by Medical Practitioners to prevent poisoning of the human body due to overdose or excessive usage of drugs, thank God that you brought your sister here on time. Assuming it were a little later, we wouldn’t be having this same conversation. All I could do at the moment is stare and mutter words which are inaudible to the human ears. Truly ignorance kills. I thanked the Doctor profusely for explaining it all to me, I think I might just be the luckiest guy in the universe. This is more than sheer luck, for I had done exactly same as Bose in times past.
