"Nope, you should actually take your pills EVERY day."

"Your blood pressure's really high.  Are you sure you're taking your medicine?"

"Yep.  Every time I feel it acting up, I take a pill."

"Every time you feel what acting up?"

"My blood pressure."

"And what does that feel like?"

"You know, like a sensation in my blood vessels."

"What kind of sensation?"

"Like a pressure, sort of."

"Okay, that's not good.  You realize you're supposed to take the pills every day, right?  We talked about that last time."

"Yeah, yeah, that's what you said, but I don't want to overmedicate.  So I just take it when I feel something.  Otherwise I don't need it."

"No, you do."

"I don't like taking something every day."

"Yeah, but you need it."

"I just want something that can treat the problem when I have it.  Like Tylenol, or vitamins."

"Vitamins?"

"Yeah, when I eat something unhealthy, I take a vitamin afterwards, to balance it out."

"That's not how nutrition works."

"No, it works for me."

"No, it doesn't."

"I just don't like the way medicine feels.  I don't want to take too much."

"This is a very low dose."

"Can I cut the pills in half?"

"No, it's a very low dose."

"I'm going to cut the pills in half."

"If you're going to do that, I'll give you a larger dose."

"Oh, you can give me a larger dose and I can just cut them in half?"

"Uh, I guess.  If that means you'll take them.  Sure."

"Great.  I mean, I'm not going to take it every day, but I'll take it more if it's only half."
