To P**P or not to P**P
Not doing much of anything on a slow sunday, Pharmacy Chick was eager to help anybody who wandered by the pharmacy. This lady came up and wanted something to help her husband. He had just had hemorrhoid surgery 3 days prior and hadn’t had a bowel movement since leaving the hospital. She had some Mag Citrate in her hands and wanted to know if it might help. The hospital didn’t send him home with even so much as a stool softener (yea thanks on that one), and he still had 4 sore stitches to worry about. Poor guy was miserable according to Wife. After all, he had been eating normally for 3 days.
I made several suggestions, all of which contained the caveat “Make sure the doctor knows what you are doing”. Leaving nothing to chance, she bought them ALL! Suppositories, Enemas, Stool softeners, Mag Citrate, you name it.
One way or the other, I hope they have more than one toilet at their house, cuz one of them will be occupied all night.
