Not just constant diarrhea, but constant, highly acidic, watery diarrhea with a smell that will peel paint a half-mile away. I've worked in nursing homes where residents had C-Dif and it was a fuckin' nightmare for everyone involved.

If I had something like that, I'd be popping those pills like candy.

If the dose is one, and you would happily eat a 12 ounce bag, I'm thinking the folks a Brach's need to make a new flavor

Those people have to take 15 poo pills a day. I don't buy the idea that these capsules that withstand stomach acid can only be made in clear. It's 2014, make a bright blue pill that doesn't look like poo poo so people don't have to watch themselves put a brown pill in their mouths.
Although there might be some placebo effect for actually watching a poo colored pill go in your mouth...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I kind of wanted to make a poop joke. Surely this thread will devolve into poop jokes.

Does bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "eat shit," though.

Wait until you're in and they bring out the leeches and maggots.
Yes, they are legit treatments.

I know maggots can help eat away necrotized tissue, but I didn't know leeches were still a legitimate medical treatment anymore.

Leeches are often the best option for safely removing congested blood from a wound. Some ancient and folk treatments have value in the modern world.
Others should be forgotten completely.
