I have a fever and the only cure is more cowbell, but cowbell is considered a level 3 prescription and my insurance won't cover it without prior authorization so I have to spend 2 weeks trying a tambourine first, then fax a form from my doctor attesting that the tambourine treatment was ineffective.
