Placebo Television #14

You know all those stupid "unbranded advertising" commericals the pharmaceutical companies are using right now? The ones where they never mention their product's name but instead it leads you to a website that discusses their medication? Examples include http://www.mytimetoquit.com/ by Pfizer and http://www.silenceyourrooster.com/ by Sanofi-Aventis. Well, we thought it was time to poke fun of them the Placebo Journal way (amongst other items). Check it out:

Dr. Doug:

The advertisement above got me thinking. I have some other books to include in the "World's Smallest Medical Books" category which I found in my collection:

The Sub-Specialist's Guide To Admitting Patients And Dictating Discharge Summaries


What We Cover: The Complete Listing of Covered Procedures, Medications, & Medical Equipment by Blue Cross/Blue Shield, et al.


American Psychiatrists That Don't Speak Hindi - Updated for 2008


Reasons Not To Do A Heart Catheterization - An Interventionalist's Guide



University Health Services Handbook: The World of Snot, Psych, and Sex



The Case For A Nationalized Healthcare Plan: Making Doctor's Even Richer
by B.H. Obama


Let me know if these make it to the collection.

Great! Loved it! I always wondered what silence your rooster meant and now I can die with one less question. Knew docs were Cocky! Is this St Salt-Peter? Whose crowed 3 times thanks to the parting of the Red-Cialis? This reminds me of another burning question. If you use pocket bread for communion is this the gospel according to St. Pita? I cried foul last time I choked the chicken but was depressed because I woke a little DOWN in the mouth. Difference between sexy and kinky? First, you use the feather, Second, the whole chicken. Flipping the bird you might say, but that's just the beak-inning! Cybergroans preclude me from continuing. LIke the rooster, I'm talon-ted.
