‘Take your time,’ the doctor said to his fraught, middle-aged patient.

Wringing her hands, taking deep breaths, Mrs. Jenkins said, ‘I can't get this man out of my mind.' She stopped and burped loudly expelling all the air she’d gulped in.

‘Go on, Mrs. Jenkins,’ the doctor told her.

‘I don’t know his name. Who he is,’ she confided in almost a whisper.

Amused, the doctor told her, ‘There is nothing wrong with being in love.’

‘You don’t understand.’ Mrs. Jenkins slumped in her chair, weeping.

As if to mollify her, the doctor got up and went around his desk, and handing her a tissue, waited until she’d finished wailing. Then he examined her eyes, looked into her ears and mouth, and returning to his desk, sat down again.

‘I can’t see anything wrong, Mrs. Jenkins,’ he said.

‘Of course you can’t!,’ she replied, exasperated. ‘He’s in my head.'

‘Take these tablets as instructed. Come back in a month,’ he told her, writing down a prescription for Prozac.

As he passed the prescription across the desk to Mrs. Jenkins, two hands shot from her ears and ripped the prescription up into tiny pieces.

Bloomin' heck Jennifer, just where do you get them from?! Made me laugh.

Couldn't understand why you spelt 'Trouble' like you did though. Is it foreign?

Ha ha - very good Jennifer - thought it was funny.

They give Prozac to woman for anything eh?

Great flash.
All the best

Hi Nick,

Glad I made you laugh.

No, I made a mistake. Will correct trouble.

Where do I get them from? Ask my doctor.

Thanks Caroline, glad you thought it funny.

I'm a St. John's Wort girl when needed. Avoid doctors like the plague.

This is great! Only slight issue I had was the doctor prescribing prozac for an illness which might require some psychiatric evaluation. Schizophrenia usually gets something more serious than prozac... I think.

Anyhow, enjoyed this a lot. Thanks for the read!

It's true, those little men in your head hate Prozac. Not surprising really as one of the potential side effects of taking it is anxiety

Great twist. Loved it.

Thanks Bill. Doctors and pills don't go down well with me, either.
