Same here, I hate the smell of medicines, when I was a kid I used vomit immediately after swallowing a tablet and even growing up I fainted a couple of times when they took blood samples. So I think people were right about the proverb "Prevention is better than cure"

Even now I take pills along with fruit juice or soft drinks. That is if I throw up the soft drink/juice will ensure that I do not taste the bitter medicine...

Haha. In these days for prevention also we have to take medicines. Kids take too much of injections. Lol. I am not too bad like you. When my mom give me tablet for Fever, I will just throw it off and drink water. Lol.

I dislike medicine smell but not all the medicines. I mean there are some medicines that smell good. Anyway, I do not have problem entering hospitals. You can say i am immune to smell.

Frankly a lot of cancer patients do. My son and my younger sister were both diagonised with cancer two years ago, but our gratefulness goes to God and the Doctors and all the staff at the hospital, and my older sister for their support and help. Both are fine now. Both of them hate entering the hospital (they have to go for check ups). There is no medicine smell there, but still they just hate it. It reminds them of the treatment taken.

Oops. That was really bad. Good to know that they are fine now. Not only in this case. If we have some bad things happening in some place, seeing that place will remind us of that only. That will make us really bad. Hope they will forget the past and enjoy the present. Happy to have your response. Happy mylotting.

I detest hospital stench too; it makes me feel sicker, which is why I hardly go to Doctors unless I am in danger of dying, which has never happened, thankfully. Cheers and happy mylotting

I am not big on doctors or hospitals. As a young child I saw the hospitals as a place where my older relatives went to be very ill or die. That thought together with the smell memories stayed with me as I grew. I still to this day do not like to go there, even though I do when I need to visit friends and relatives. I find it amazing what early childhood thoughts and memories can do to your thoughts through your life.

I am...I definitely hate the smell of medicine especially after opening our medicine box. It has a smell of different medicine put together and it is absolutely awful for me. As for the hospital, I prefer not go there because I feel more sick when I am in there. My brother was administered in a public hospital before and I was task to be his companion. The smell of different disinfectant, medicine and dextrose put together is really something I am not used to but I have to stay there because of my brother. Luckily, after just two days my brother was released from the hospital and I haven't taken a foot back to the hospital since then.

I was staying in hospital when my sister gave birth to a baby. 5 years back. After that I never went to hospitals for stay. When I stayed there, I didn't feel that to be difficult because I was enjoying with my kid. Lol. I hate to cross some hospitals also. I will just walk on the opposite side. Hehe. So as to avoid the medicine smell.

i never had problems with hospital or smell of medicines. because i am alien i have been in and out of hospital many times, not for me. its for others. while in college we had to carry friends who were injured to hospital, its we who had always taken the initiative. so staying around in the hospital wards we got used to those and became immune to it.

When its needed even I would go. But I will pray that it should never happen again. Lol. Seriously I get headaches when entering the hospitals. I should visit so often and get practiced to it I guess. Lol.

You are different I think so..... coz, most of the person don't like the medicine smell..... I don't like the medicines.... if I was sick, I ask doctor to put injection rather giving me the tablets and capsules...... I ask him whether is there any syrup or tonic which smells good for that particular disease......???? I request him not to give any tablets for me..... coz, I don't like the tablets smell/////

Hey I also said that I hate medicine smell only. Actually I hate hospitals itself and all their medicines. No matter if its syrup or Tablets. Lol. And injection is better than medicines for me. Haha. Just a minute pain. For drinking medicines I will take half an hour at times. Lol.

I absolutely agree with you. I feel like puking whenever I smell the medicines. The very thought of hospital makes me sick. I know it might seem to be a little selfish but I avoid going to visit my friends or relatives in the hospital. But I give them a visit as soon as they are out of there(of course with apology). But I avoid going to the hospitals as far as possible.
