A Pill for the Misbegotten
On my honeymoon in Oaxaca, I met an Australian pharmacist who told me the story of a young couple who came to her in a panic, desperately seeking the morning after pill. It was a regimen of two pills to be taken immediately.
She handed them the pair of pills and said, “take these right now.”
They looked at each other, took a breath, and each took one.
