Those wacky pharma guys

A friend just mailed me a pharma freebie her doctor mom received some years ago. It’s a ruler with the following words on it:
“BEFORE YOU DIAGNOSE… RULE OUT BIPOLAR MANIA” (Courtesy of Zyprexa, aka the drug that made me gain 20 pounds. How about, “ALSO, RULE OUT EVER EATING AGAIN.”)
My friend writes: “I wonder if they also made, like, a stamp dispenser that says, ‘STAMP OUT BIPOLAR MANIA.’”
Not bad, huh? I wanna try to think of more of these. Submissions welcome, and I’ll pass them along to Big Pharma, care of the North Pole.

Sorry to comment so much. I was recently turned on to your blog and I’ve been spending the weekend reading the archives.
The weirdest pharm “memento” I’ve seen yet is the Geodon Hand Sanitizer. My first thought was, “Wow! Now administering my antipsychotic is as easy as washing my hands!”
