She was worried about me because at 17 I didn't sleep until late/early (2am) and I was constantly restless (I would have though this standard for that age). He prescribed me Librium. He saved Valium for the married housewives. Luckily for me in this instance, I've never been consistent about anything in my life so after taking them for a few days they got cast aside and I continued on with my night owlery. I have it on good authority that he was still dispensing Valium for whatever ailed you in the first decade of this new century. He should have read Valley of the Dolls like I had and he'd know that pills weren't the answer and instead advised me to stop mooning around after boys and take up long distance running.<br /><br />*A little googling turns up the fact that Dr Death started the practice in 1978 so he can't have been that long in the tooth.Jitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475332636189823001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724376948636627084.post-17623146666823209022019-03-21T09:00:41.109+00:002019-03-21T09:00:41.109+00:00This should be in the Wexford People - maybe besi...This should be in the Wexford People - maybe beside the nice ad for Padraig Murphy and his pharmacy - his sage advice is as valuable as any pharmaceutical productCliona O'Farrellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859776965721376149noreply@blogger.com
