    I've always believed that laughter was the best medicine. So when my dad was sick, we gave him the best medicine available and laughed at him for a good three hours. At the autopsy, we found out penicillin would've been better.

    I appreciate that the doctor actually finds Medicine Crisps an interesting concept. Because it is. We developed chewable tablets and syrup to deliver the medicine better, so medicinal crisps might actually be somewhat of a good idea.

    • @chrism6952
      @chrism6952 Před rokem +2

      im not sure they do deliver the medicine better, they are for people who cant handle a needle in a lot of cases. Injecting into the bloodstream is more effective. Some medicines may not have the desired effect at all if digested rather than injected.

      No they are not. Ingestion is in fact much better for medicines which are better distributed through the digestive system than intravenously. You are absolutely correct that some would do nothing if ingested, but ingesting meds is not designed to be an alternative to intravenous delivery.

      @actuallyapathy Před 10 měsíci

      depends highly case to case. some medications are better administered IV (intravenous, in the vein) or IM (intramuscular, in the muscle) especially if it's the kind of thing you need to have an effect instantly, such as an epipen. However for something like a long term anti depressant it would make more sense to take a pill because they can be formulated XR (extended release) so they stay in your system and build up to appropriate levels! though i would disagree with the doctor that some fat and sodium automatically outweighs the benefits of the medication, as humans need fat and salt and will be consuming them anyways. plus for some people it's an added bonus! i actually have been asked by my doctor to increase my salt intake to make sure i'm absorbing enough water! would its nicer to get it through crisps than through salt pills 😂

      ​@@chrism6952from what I know, intravenous injections are to get the medicine in there fast. While tablets and other injested medicine slowly break down in the bloodstream. So when I was younger and had bad asthma, I would take tablets to manage it on a regular basis, but take an intravenous shot in the case of a bad attack to get instant relief

      I notice the same thing. The men are able to speak to her like she's a 2 yr old, patiently fielding her nonsense questions in actually clear ways. Some of them turn her questions back on her and make her answer the nonsense. The women get lost in her nonsense and end up making literally no sense at all (example: the Thinking Thoughts About Thoughts interview). Makes a strong case for why women are too gullible to be allowed to vote 😂🤣😂🤣

    That little clip from some forgotten Panorama or News Report... 0:43 to 0:49... wow...so much to say- just look at the orgasmic power trip hairy armed blue eye shadow is getting over the shame-faced, slightly older, probably slightly poorer customer. Well 40 years later, I bet they're both equal now.

    She makes fools of so many of the experts. This time was no exception. He was wrong to say that the salt and fat and carbohydrate would do more harm than the good the medicine mixed in with it would do. It would depend on which medicine was in there, and what condition the patient the patient had, wouldn't it? That's common sense. If the patient's life was saved the medicine, the tiny amount salt, fat, and carbohydrate might do some harm but this would not outweigh the benefit that the medicine did.

      I believe he knows it very well, but, realizing what he's up against, decided to go full grandpa mode and just explain it like you would to a five year old: not necessarily acurate, but enough to move on from the question.
