Our dog has been a bit under the weather of late, nothing serious, but we ended up taking him to the wonderful local vet, and my whole world was turned upside down. I’ll let the picture tell the story for me:
I have been prescribing *human children* this antibiotic my whole career, and only now, years too late, do I discover the horrible truth: it’s dog medicine! I might as well have been shoving Alpo down their throats! What’s next - will I find out that treatment for school lice outbreaks is really nothing but rebranded horse dewormer??
Next time you take your child to the doctor with strep throat and the white coated lunatic tries to treat your middle schooler like a labradoodle, just remember to stand your ground and insist you be given real medicine, made for children and not cocker spaniels, something legitimate, like mRNA injections.
All of which is to say, I apologize if posting is going to be light for the next couple weeks. I’m not on vacation or anything, I’m having a crisis of conscience! The tan is coincidence.
p.s. Welcome new subscribers! If you’ve been following the recent kerfuffle featuring everyone’s favorite morbidly obese public health tyrant, here’s a thought experiment for you: what if Dr. Hotez changes his mind and becomes just as outspoken against the Pfizer shots as RFK Jr is? Would that be newsworthy? Well, it’s already happened! Not with Hotez, but with someone with far more integrity and character, the father of ADHD medicine, check it out.
Thank y’all for reading and have a wonderful, crisis-of-conscience-free week!
Good lord that reminds me of the time my dad was prescribed suppositories for severe hemorrhoids - I asked him if he was getting any relief and he screamed into the phone, “These damned things ya can hardly swallow - for all the good they done me I might as well have shoved em up my ass!” 😳
My morning chuckle.
