May 11, 2020 (Slightly) off topic, but in UK we used to have a couple of doctors known as "The Amateur Transplants" who went around as a comedy duo putting medical words to songs and one of their songs was called, "Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin" superbly funny.For information Paracetamol is Acetaminophen. Also some bad language.https://www.Youtube.com/watch?v=uMpFenCupxY 4 Likes

Reminds me of the old snake oil expression: "Cures coughs colds runny noses dirty arseholes and makes childbearing a pleasure".Also reminds me of Monty Python's Medical Love Song. 3 Likes
Orca, ASN, RN Specializes in Corrections, psychiatry, rehab, LTC. Has 26 years experience. May 15, 2020 Funny that this should come up. Years ago, I worked on a hospital adult mental health unit. We would occasionally get a patient in who the doctor wanted to try a placebo with to see what happened. With one patient his instructions to the pharmacy were to construct the biggest, ugliest capsule that they could, and they absolutely delivered. Horrible looking, pale blue things, absolutely huge.Another patient, always in "pain". Tried her on a placebo, and these were artwork. Capsules, orange on one end and clear on the other, inside were small, round circles of sugar, some orange, some white, reminiscent of the "tiny time pills" in Contac, for those old enough to remember it. I knew that the patient was going to ask what it was, especially since she claimed that it gave her more relief than anything that she had ever taken. The bottle sent up from the pharmacy was labeled Cebocap, so that is what I told her. She asked detailed questions about it. I told her that it must be new, because it wasn't in my drug book.
