QUOTE(CharlotteWebb @ Fri 29th January 2010, 5:27pm) QUOTE(Milton Roe @ Sat 30th January 2010, 12:05am) I hate to tell you this, but the average person doesn't have to pull down their pants to get a shot of anything. Unless it's a monster dose of long-acting penicillin to cure your syphilis because nobody trusts you to take pills every day.
Not so sure about that. I visited Earsnoses'n'throats-R-Us back in August on account of I had "acute bacterial otitis media" i.e. some kind of ear infection. For $160 they gave me a shot in the ass and pills to take every day (actually every 8 hours), but they seemed to work. And probably would have worked just as well without the shot in the ass. But you'll never know, as they obviously considered it an ENT emergency, not worthy of the "let's wait and see" treatment on pills alone. I have to admit you do remind me of one other ass-shot thingy, though, which is that there does exist a category of antibiotic called a "late generation cephalosporin," which is too large and thick a shot to be given IM easily any place else other than a glute, and which isn't well absorbed in a pill. So conceivably, you could have gotten one of those (ceftriaxone or cefepime or cefa-something-else). Not that there's a great deal of evidence that they're better than one of the many, many oral combos available for a middle ear infection, especially an untreated one. Somehow I doubt that Rothschilds get regular third of fourth generation cephalosporin shots, either. But I suppose there are some circumstances where they could be used instead of an IV.

This is too damn bizarre. Why in hell would anyone, sane or insane, do all this? (Don't answer that. Nevermind. It's Wikipedia.) And what really amuses me: the photo in that TED profile bears a remarkable resemblance to my friend John Atwood......... This post has been edited by EricBarbour:

Hmm, that could be what it was. I tried to ask what was in the shot but by then they were more interested in shooing me out the door. I do know the pills were amoxicillin. Doubtless I could have picked that up without a prescription by describing a fictitious pet (o por hablando un poquito de español, al supermercado local del barrio), if only I knew what the hell I'd be shopping for.

QUOTE(the fieryangel @ Fri 29th January 2010, 11:46pm) Just forget about the Rothchilds and everything people say about them. They have to pull down their pants to get a shot like the rest of us!
Honestly some people here know nothing. Not even how to spell Rothschild. Of course they dont have to pull down their pants to get a shot like the rest of us. They have valets or if they wish chambermaids to do it for them. Here for example is a typical French maid on Commons; note how she wears a very short dress, seamed stockings and stilettos to do manual labour. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fre...aid_dusting.jpgThis post has been edited by Trick cyclist:

(IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/biggrin.gif) Most Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas have amoxicillin over-the-counter. You don't need to describe anything-- just ask for the stuff. Amoxicillin is a very "old" and cheap drug, with so many bacteria resistant to it by now that it's used as a placebo (mostly for mothers with kids who have earaches, which usually do start to go away about 24 hours after they hurt maximally, even if you do nothing). A much more likely-to-be effective oral drug is a combo of amoxicillin and an inhibitor of penicillinase, called amoxicillin-clavulinate. It is called Clavamox or generic Augmentin in the US; probably Clavamox or something like it in Mexico, too. It used to be expensive, but now that it's generic, it has come down to reasonable prices also. It's very funny that you got the weak verson if it, while getting a shot, too. So now you've really got me wondering what the shot was. There's a shot version of Clavamox called Unisyn, but it's very expensive, and reconsituting a whole IV bottle of it for an IM dose for one patient (wasting the rest, which is meant to be used in a much larger IV dose) reminds me of the old joke about the guy who wants elephant ear sandwich, at the restaurant-that-has-anything. They tell him the problem is not the order, but the problem is that it's late, and cooks don't want to start on a fresh elephant. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/happy.gif) So I really doubt they did that for you-- not for $160. And pointless anyway, as it only saves you a couple of hours in getting the antibiotic and hurts like hell. Cheap oral pills suggest a cheap antibiotic shot. Penicillin G?? (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/hmmm.gif) (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/ohmy.gif) Gads, what a crappy clinic. Don't go back!
