Rush's unfortunate boner...

Oh, now you’re saying he has an upper brain? :rolleyes:

I’ll admit it. It’s probably a tempest in a teapot, but I love hearing that he’s having troubles.

Oh, it’s almost a given that he’ll skate, but worth a few yuks in the meantime.

Oh, he’ll be doing hard time!

After release will he be eligible to vote in the next erection?

Again, you need to read about antibiotic resistance.
It’s a very real threat. And some of it is due to the misuse of antibiotics by people who think they know more than medical experts.

He’s countering what he feels is lackluster argumentation on your part with equally fallacious argumentation. (Take it for what it’s worth–not necessarily much more than dryer lint–but I’m about as impressed by your exposition and defense here as he is.)

Plus, y’know, it’s the Pit and all. 's par for the course.

Dangling chad? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

That wasn’t a defense, dude. It’s not like I need to mount a defense against ‘meh’. Even if you say it a second time.

Says the guy who was too lazy to offer any at all. :smiley:

And how will they know if the doctor or pharmacist (a) knows their stuff, and (b) isn’t a hired hack of a snake-oil firm? Or will the medical profession have the regulation that drugs themselves lack, in your bizarro-world?

Yeah, and maybe we should stop spending money on guardrails so we have the free choice to drive off the bridge or the cliff at any moment we feel the urge. :rolleyes:

I can’t wait to see what John Stewart does with this! :smiley:
Thank you, Jesus!

When a well known public figure’s best laid (heh) plans go awry like this, I think it’s roughly the equivalent of that figure going around to all the best-known comedians and late-night hosts and simply handing them cash. If I were Jon Stewart I’d have a four-foot woody myself dreaming of the next monologue. I mean, the ratings boost alone!

MD writes script in his own name, pharmacist fills and labels as per ordered.

Viagra = prescription medication, BUT NOT = controlled substance. As long as the script itself is a legit script from a legit MD, anyone can take it to the apothecary, pick up finished order, pay for it.

Or at least so in many states.

Guin, the overwhelming source of antibiotic resistance is from agricultural use, which does not require prescription, and the major pools of human infections of resistant strains come from hospitals and nursing homes, where the drugs are very closely controlled by doctors. The real facts of life don’t support your argument.

I go on antibiotics a couple times a year actually and am quite aware of the possibility of antibiotic resistance.

Wow, so people are getting antibiotics which are available only by prescription because they think they know more than medical experts. See the problem in your argument there? I know you post a lot, but could you bothered to read what ya post and have it have some merit or value?

Well, this isn’t great debates, I proffered by opinion and have lackadaisicly defended it. I could go more in depth if I felt that my opponent were worth it.

Nah, it’s obvious you don’t have the intellectual fortitude to mount your mother-cousin again. So, I really don’t expect much from you anymore. See, it’s easy and fun just to insult instead of being attempting at being a feign intellectual and rubbing those two wet sticks inside your cranial cavity.

I guess everything needs to be regulated in your world, eh. It’s really a realm of either/or and false dilemmas to make your point. 'Scuse me while I don’t mount a quaint rebuttal to the corn-laden diarrhea that flows from your posts.

Hey, if you want guard rails, by all means go pay for 'em. In fact, if you need to keep paying your mom to cut your jell-o into smaller bites, slap that 50 cents on the table and settle up the tab.

I love it when he does that! There’s just something so hysterical about a Jew thanking Jesus.

If he’d had the Viagra in his own name their would have been no problem, in fact there would have been no outcry or publicity at all, security would have closed up his wash-bag and he’d have been on his way, with no-one the wiser (except the security guard).

However, it is prescription fraud for the drug to be knowingly issued in one name, when it is intended for use by another person. I have no idea what Limbaugh or his doctor were thinking. The excuse of privacy doesn’t hold water, because patient confidentiality already protects patients from their prescription medications becoming public knowledge.

He got exactly what he deserved.

Public humiliation? Oh yes, definitely. I’d go further and say he deserves to be treated like…say…me, if I got caught doc-shopping for hillbilly heroin and violating parole. But that won’t happen.

It’s been a damned good year for Jon, hasn’t it?

irishgirl, you’re a doctor or about to be-what do you have to say about misuse of antibiotics. I know the majority of resistance might not be from people who don’t take them properly, but I’ve heard it DOES contribute.

It’s not that people get them without prescription, per se, it’s that people take them only until they feel better, and save the rest for later. Then they take them when they don’t need them, or pass them along to others (Yes, I’ve seen it done). Or they find some doctor who’ll give them a script when they truly DON’T need it.

I think I’ll let that stand, in all its glory. :slight_smile:

Hehehehehehe…
