Sidenote: One can say a dhammānusārī (Dhamma follower) or saddhānusārī (faith follower) is at the point where they’ve made the many day drive and are standing right there in front of the medicine. It would be impossible that they don’t take it now after all this driving.

It’s more than that. They’ve taken the medicine (i.e. developed the eightfold path) and are simply waiting for the effects to kick in (seeing the four noble truths).
