Stupid medical commercials

[DD977GM2]

What on earth would a person need or us a catheter everyday and having to replace them whenever they replace them? Would it be for incontinence?

I see more and more call us and get your free disposable catheters commercials everyday and can not understand.

Dude I already understand having issues when it comes to bowels. I have ulcerative colitis (simular to crohns) so it was a semi serious question.

My uncle is close to having to have a catheter. He is only 38 years old. He has Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and cannot hold it at all. Right now he is using diapers and a hunting urinal if he can make it. Everyday it is getting worse though and he is just about bed ridden so it is almost impossible to make it to the bathroom.

Anybody that is in a wheelchair has to catheterize to drain thine bladder.
My buddy is in a chair and I have had to help him a couple of times when he was in an arm cast and after he had surgery. Shove a clear tube up your buddies crank and a couple of things happen:
Your junk will retract into your body at amazing speed.
You gain a new perspective on the most simple of things. We get up, go piss and go back to bed. For him it is a 1/2 hour production.

The ads that kill me are the pharmaceutical ads.
Can't tie you shoes because of arthritis? Take this pill and you will be able to tie them but you will:
Bleed from the rectum.
Have severe stomach cramps.
May go blind.
May be at risk of stroke.
May be at risk of certain cancers.
May have suicidal thoughts and actions.
May have an erection lasting longer than 30000 hours.
May have uncontrolled irrational thoughts.


Screw that- Ill buy shoes with velcro!

Which reminds me:

What happens when you ask for help with an erection lasting more than 4 hours?
Doug walked into a drug store in Kentucky and asked to talk to a male pharmacist. The woman he was talking to said that she was the only pharmacist and as she and her sister owned the store, there were no male employees. She then asked if she could help him. Earl said that it was something that he would be much more comfortable discussing with a male pharmacist. The lady pharmacist assured him that she was completely professional and whatever it was that he needed to discuss, he could be confident that she would treat him with a high level of professionalism.
JIM then agreed and began by saying, 'This is tough for me to discuss, but I get erections every day that last more than four hours. It causes me a lot of problems and severe embarrassment, and I was wondering what you could give me for it.'
The pharmacist said, 'Just a minute, I'll talk to my sister..'
When she returned, she said,
"We discussed it at length and this is the absolute best we can do.
1/3 ownership in the store, a company pickup truck, a king size bed and $3,000 a month in living expenses.

i'm currently on Dexamethasone steroids, been for 5 weeks, it messes many things up. Reality is, hopefully nobody has to go through some of these things. But most likely you'll end up experiencing some sort of issue medically or related to medication that makes you understand what others are going through. I'm sure my side effects are not much better than what is being cured, really sucks, but it's what I have to do to stay alive at the moment.

Not sure we need commercials for some of these things though.
