Neti Pots? Talk about a bad idea

[...] Neti pots? talk about a bad idea… Let me begin by saying the following, “OPRAH, GO FUCK YOURSELF.” I absolutely had the fact that someone on television can merely reference a product, book, cd, douche, vibrator, et cetera, and it instantly becomes the nation’s hottest selling item. It’s unreal how much influence this lady has over our wives, fiances, girlfriends, fuck buddies, and panty droppers in general. Women, please excuse the last comment - I was on a rant. My direct superior is a woman. My wife is smarter than me, and she can kick my ass. Hell, my own father wants one of these things because he…eeek…saw it on Oprah. I made him swear to me he was merely trying to find some Ultimate Fighting on TV, or I was going to have him beaten up. Anyway, I’m sure most decently intelligent people can see the DANGER that these things pose. They say they keep the mucous membrane in the nasal cavity moist. I wholeheartedly believe that these things will wash (or dangerously thin) that layer. This is going to make it much easier for bacteria to get in there and set up shop. Another problem I see with that? The people using this product are likely going to have recurrent sinus infections or problems with allergies. Washing away that mucous is merely going to exacerbate the problem. I know I could make a shitload of money on them. But, I’m not going to carry them. I’m not going to make a few bucks off these things even though I know the Amoxicillin and Augmentin scripts will come rolling in after that. I don’t want to harm my patients and friends. I’m doing my best to educate everyone that asks. I’m telling them to tell their Oprah-watching friends. Colleagues, please do the same. What’s going to save us now? It’s going to take a Sanjay Gupta article in Time…:-) (Source: The Angriest Pharmacist) [...]
