Did I Really Need to Hear This?!?
There’s a new commercial for a medical supply company offering to help patients who need sterile catheters. That in itself is unpleasant enough.
But it gets worse.
The “patient” — who may be a real patient or just an actress — talks about the inconvenience of having to boil used catheters so she can reuse them.
Too. Much. Information.
Granted, they could have been much less delicate. But still, that’s an image I didn’t need this morning!
I wish people who were diagnosed with conditions that required such actions could register with their doctors to specifically get this information…so those of us who don’t have to “cath” ourselves don’t have to think about it.

People are always accusing me of giving too much information because I recount EMT war stories about the multitudinous and varied calls we get. But this… you must have been watching the telly at 0300 to see this!
