Mysterious Maladies

Maybe I am harping too much on Dr. Harold Woodcomb’s remark "It is doubtful that Cialis causes any eye problems."
Possibly harping, but not probably.
I have emphasized the "any" in his statement every time I have reported it because he emphasized the word, as if he thought the required vision warnings on all boner pills stood as some unfair burden on the pharmaceutical manufacturers. Cialis, Levitra, Viagra: they all must carry warnings. Most of the warnings convey shifts in color or some blurring. Nothing prepared me for a hemorrhage to spew blood in my eye.
Because I took the Cialis I am now too blind to read warning labels.
Woodcomb’s refusal to acknowledge the cause of the problem indicated to me that he would not be treating it with every available fact under consideration. That gave me reasonable cause to seek treatment elsewhere.
The other reason for giving his statement prominence lies with the scope of the problem. If this esteemed doctor refused to acknowledge even the possibility that a boner pill caused the hemorrhage, then he certainly did not report it. And he cannot be the only doctor in this country who did not report the devastating effect.
This under-reporting by doctors also rides the very real phenomenon that many men may be too embarrassed to admit that they used a boner pull when seeking treratment for the resulting hemorrhage..
That leads to the very real conclusion that the less frequent but very real dangers of hemorrhages and eye strokes remain under-reported and uninvestigated. The warning labels do not have to be strengthened. People who might suffer the same effect do not learn about dangers considerably more devastating than seeing a bluish tint.
Meanwhile, the pharmaceuticals continue making money without being held accountable.
How many more people will suffer the hemorrhages until the warning become mandatory and doctors are educated that some patients shouldn’t be taking this drug, no matter how blue their balls get??
Viagra saw the fastest FDA approval of any drug in history. People, including lawmakers, want boner pills. Now we can get prescriptions for Cialis for daily use. Now every man can rise to any opportunity that may arise.
The message comes across that boner pills are so safe, they can now be used every day. That implication has been irrevocably disproven to me, the hard way.
Part of this blog’s purpose is to get the word out that these drugs –and by extension of drug companies’ business practices, many drugs– are not as safe as your doctors and the drug companies that send them on vacations would have you believe.
When you take these magic meds, you’re taking more than your boner in your own hands.
