A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

I could use some of that.
You know doc, your patients could be a lot happier if you prescribed weed, alcohol and morphine for everything.
Demented? On new alcohol-weed-morphine, noone can tell the difference?
Seizures stop you driving? - You can't drive when you take this, but you won't care.
Migrains? You'll be feeling no pain when you take alcohol-weed-morphine, our new universal treatment.
One night, because that is all you need!
My cough ' medicine ' is cough, cough , whisky cough , cough .
Did you know that THC is currently being looked at as a treatment for asthma because it dilates bronchioles? One of my students showed me the studies a few years ago. This "cough syrup" might have actually been onto something...
Chloroform...I scratch my head.
Well thank goodness there is less than one percent alcohol. Otherwise it might be intoxicating!
Zounds!!! I've had a few patients I'd love to have been able to give that to!
My doctors have clearly been holding out on me.
Years ago, I remember seeing chloroform as an ingredient in OTC cough syrup. It was listed as an "expectorant".
Just for geek's sake: The label uses old apothecary terms. "m" is for minim which is a fluid measurement: 60 minims = 1 fluiddram = 1/8 fluid ounce. "gr" is for grain and used for solids: 1 gr = 64.8 mg.
Bonus question: What drugs are still produced in terms of grains, not milligrams?
Answer: Armour Thyroid (and generics) and phenobarbital.
I would pay good money for that.
With alcohol, weed, chloroform and morphine, I do wonder what the other "skillfully combined" might be?
Hey, Texas Pharmacy Chica, I take Armour Thyroid. Was on Synthroid for close to 20 years and they just recently switched me to Armour. Armour has an interesting taste and it doesn't taste like bacon. Sigh. I was amused recently when I happened upon a forum fill of people talking about natural medications. Several people who said they were vegans had switched to Armour Thyroid. I guess they don't realize that it's made from pork!
ANYWAY, last year I had pneumonia and I was given cough syrup with codeine. It was horrible...the codeine did nothing but make me mad and I still had the damn cough! I think I would have much preferred this stuff!
Somehow I misread 'skillfully' as 'sinfully'. Seems apropos somehow.
So, you're finally sharing the formulation of Fukitol (c)?
I've known several asthmatics who found relief from hashish eating.
WOW!!! The ONLY time I ever used Mary J was to try and ease Migraine pain; but it backfired big time!!! I had a heck of a worse one when I woke up. UGH! I am also allergic to Morphine, so I guess this would be a deadly cocktail for me. UGH!
Does it come in a convenient economy size?
And is it artisanal???
No wonder folks were so happy and carefree back then! /sarcasm
I am so glad I laid in a lifetime supply before the crackdown. But for those who did not have that foresight, I am glad they give you the recipe right on the label. Happy Mixology.
That's cocktail for your nightcap!
another reason to visit 3rd world pharmacy shops while on holiday...
Did folks back then "drop it in the outhouse" like they do now ?
