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.

Shocking news! :)
But they neglected to mention that suppositories are MOST preferred...or was that another study?
Stop the presses!!!
As a patient with an autoimmune disease, not sure I agree with that study. I will take happily one subcutaneous injection over 50+ pills per week.
There's a good dirty joke here but I think I'll let it go...
If you can't find a date, there's always manual therapy.
From the Double Entendre Department of the Dirty Minded, yes?
Well, no wonder. Ever try injecting a pill into your arm? Trust me, it hurts like a motherfucker.
Conversely, many dogs and (especially) cats actually find injections less stressful than oral medications.
I dunno. Some people prefer injections rather than having to swallow. But, hey, on the other hand, with oral therapy you don't have to worry about where that injector has been before you.
It depends. I agree with 12:03 anon in the case that the injection is one and done vs a bunch of daily pills. If I'm having an acute allergic reaction, I'd definitely rather have one corticosteroid injection than a dose pack. OTOH if it's one to one or close to it, then I'd rather take the pills.
Let me guess... this is regarding erectile dysfunction medication. Am I right?
(to the tune of Aura Lee)
When you have medicine to take,
Take it orally.
Because you know the other way
Goes much more painfully.

Or even better, crushed into a tasty mash and bolused into a gastric tube. Mmmm.
My needle-less migraine injection is so much better than oral meds, that I haven't taken my oral meds for over a year now. It hurts a little, but it's worth it.
