Medical Waste Archive

I haven’t heard much about Bird Flu lately. Seems like everyone forgot about it once more pressing issues came up. But it’s out there, people, biding its time, just waiting for the right moment to kill you and your loved ones and the UPS man dead. DEAD!
Anyway, I’m glad at least SOMEONE hasn’t forgotten about […]

What do you suppose pathologists do during those long, lonely nights in the morgue surrounded by rotting cadavers? You guessed it, they make beautiful music together. Hey, get your mind out of the gutter, sicko, and meet The County Medical Examiners, a three-piece goregrind band whose members actually perform autopsies for a living.
These guys […]

There’s this hot new sports drink on the market called Fabuloso. Just kidding, it’s actually a cleaning product used to sanitize floors and toilets that happens to look and smell a helluva lot like Gatorade, which is probably why over 100 people in Texas—mostly kids—mistakenly drank the stuff. Deceptive packaging for medicines and cleaning agents […]

Great Britain, land of sensitivity and tact, lays another one on us. “Hey, fattie! Having trouble getting a bun in the old oven? Too bad! You’ll get no help from us! Besides, you don’t want a kid anyway - after all, what would happen when it came time to teach the little porker about the […]

Let’s face it, heavy metal dudes are a geeky breed. Now I love me some blast beats, double bass and gutturals as much as the next hair-farming, grape-smuggling, collectible battle axe-wielding, flaming skull on the neck-sporting, leather jacket and wrestling shoes-wearing metal maniac, but I do tend to draw the line at allowing my most […]

First capitalism, then nuts-on-your-shoulder rim-rockas, now a sudden aversion to abortion? Damn China, quit bitin’ our steez!
The planet’s foremost sausage soiree just got a little more roast beefy, if ya dig. The historically babe-loathing country, which claims a gender deficit of 134 males to 100 females in some regions, today closed over 200 clinics specializing […]

I just came across an interesting headline from The Australian, and though it’s about a week old, something tells me it’s still relevant: Doctors fail basic anatomy. Yikes, what in the Frankenhooker is this all about?
Teaching of basic anatomy in Australia’s medical schools is so inadequate that students are increasingly unable to locate important […]

Coca Cola = Lethal

Pursuant to Not Shitashi’s post on how Soda is the Cancer Sticks of Generation Fat As All Hell, and the subsequent drubbing by this errant commenter, I thought I’d jump into the fray with a riposte of my own:

TRACES of a carcinogenic chemical have been found in soft drinks at eight times the level permitted […]

It seems that every week brings yet another chocolate-is-good-for-you bit of research claptrap, if only to give local news anchors a final bit of broadcast wrap-up hilarity to chuckle over just before Jay “Trapjaw” Leno puts the Flyover to sleep. “Chocolate prevents heart disease…chocolate causes joygasms…chocolate starfish is indeed flavorful, but not a candy.”
So here’s […]
