Oral administration has not worked.  Hmmm.  Maybe I will experiment with
rectal...  If effective, I can see the ad now.  Good looking 40's something

Sublingual administration (under the tongue) of just about any med has a
faster response time due to the highly vascular nature of the area.
The heavy duty blood supply helps a great deal.
The rectal area has a great blood supply too but I'm not putting the
Cialis...oh, you know. :-)

===========hi ron -

when i was in the navy, the ship was taking on very heavy seas.  we were
bouncing around pretty good and i was talking to "doc" our medical guy.
he was a dry humor type person.  well seasoned to the navy and many
years of service to his credit.

well, this new guy - fresh out of boot camp came up.  it was just out of
the cartoons.  picture daffy duck, with the color of green scrubs.  i
mean this guy was sea sick big time.

he grabs the doc by the shirt.  "doc!  doc!  you gotta help me!!"  (see,
just like daffy duck)

doc just looked at him and said, "sea sick?"

"yeah, doc!!!   sea sick!!!"    "you gotta do something!!!"

doc just look at him calmly and said, "wait here"  

then we went into sick bay and brought out a suppository foil pak and
gave it to him.

the sailor is was just 18, must have not seen  a suppository asked doc,
"what do i do with this?"

doc never missed a beat and just looked at his dryly and said, "stick it
up your a.s"

so, here this kid is......... just like the cartoon character that had
his mind blown.  staggering down the passageway, holding this never
before seen, foil pak, green to the gills, with the mindless look on his
face of what to do.

as he wondered off, i ask doc, "weren't you a little hard on him?"

he looked at me and said, "what do you want me to do?  if i give him
anything orally, his stomach is so upset, he would throw it right back
up before it could do any good.  so the only way to get the med into his
body is suppository."

i said, "but doc, you could have told him a little better"

doc just looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and said, "i did"

=========> thanks ron for sparking the memories.........
