Just a thought....



Every single time I see/give any type of heparin, I think of this picture from an article I read a couple of weeks ago.

When it comes to medical drug production, I've always thought of it as a sterile production in a high-tech laboratory somewhere. I never knew that it was just glorified meth lab in a little village in China. Then again, it's more like a laundry than a meth lab. Subtract the Sudafed, add some Tide.

Ew.

I love the line, "No one inspected my pigs OR intestines!"

OK, aspirin comes from tree bark, heparin is made from pig intestines and coumadin was developed from rat poison.
Where the hell does Aggrastat come from?
Never mind, I don't think I want to know.

....aaaaand Premarin comes from the urine of pregnant mares.

Don't forget the medical maggots (ew) and leeches (ack!).

See? We're not as "advanced" as we thought we were.

That looks like a scene from "Hostel."

Ew.

That tears it. If I ever need a blood thinner, I'll request they simply fill my veins with a little cocktail of Draino and Unleaded. Can't be much worse, right?

That's Ed,

I think he's making my new favorite drug: Aciphex. (Spelling)


How about drug name of the year"

"ACIPHEX- makes you sound like you can throw you voice with your butt or make Fart songs or something!

"Hey great Butt-noises Bob!"

"Thanks I owe it all to Aciphex!"
From the makers of OOPS I crapped my pants.
