Summary

WARNING: We say to crush the pill like you’re a little dog in this episode but according to NHS guidelines this can affect the release of the medication so SPEAK TO YOUR GP FIRST.

Tessa can’t swallow pills. Stevie can. Rather than give pointless advice like “push it to the back of your throat what’s wrong with you”, they delve into the psychological reason behind pill swallowing aversion and things get VERY deep and hopefully VERY helpful to anyone listening with similar issues re chalky horrible paracetamol.
