Patient of mine with a chronic (many year) urinary tract problem (whose management I share with a University specialty team came in today for a cystocentesis). The patient was brought in by a person I have never met before. The person did not know why he was bringing the patient in, but arrived about 15 minutes before we opened and asked "do you know why I am here?" Luckily, I did! Yay, Dr. VBB. So anyway, I did the cysto and returned the patient to the owner. As I typically do, I said to the owner "Fluffy has a damp belly. Don't worry about it, she just has alcohol all over her belly." The person replied "wow, lucky her. I wish I did!"
OK! Whatever floats your boat....
Umm, generally primates need to ingest ETOH to see intoxication. Topical administration usually isn't effective.
ReplyDeleteHeh. (...thinking of the enema script from days of yore and less enlightened times... bet they made the patient FEEL better, even as they... well... not the best medicine.)
DeleteGrumpy, it depends on WHERE it is administered topically.... like the ETOH enemas I keep hearing about with these crazy teens...
ReplyDeleteHA HA... I'm not alone in this thought. Hiya!
DeleteClueless but early. I'd take that!
ReplyDeleteSigh. I just remember the good old days of sneaking a loaded watermelon into the BSU stadium.
