Well, firstly I understand that it's lame. I personally have fallen "victim" to this scenario many-a-time. On that same note, however, if I get shot or stabbed or poisoned with any potentially fatal substance IRL I'm probably not gonna be making it to the hospital on foot without any problems. I think everyone here wants a fantasy type game with mechanics based in reality, and the frustrations and maybe panic you feel when struggling to get to the healer are entirely appropriate and probably what whoever designed poison was looking to instill.

I think there should be a command in game that allows oneself to commit suicide, some would find it great for RP and it would alleviate some of the aggravations others are having with these types of low-level problems. (Would need to be a command that you couldn't order a charmed PC to perform.)
