Slamming a shot of laudanum and reaming out my asshole to cure my asthma.
"Your ass may hurt a bit at first so here, also take home a shitload of opium"
Actually cocaine was primarily used as a topical anaesthetic (It still is). So, y'know, just use more blow.
Actually it technically still is. If necessary a doctor can apply cocaine nasally to numb the area, it's sold as "Goprelto" or "Neurocaine".
Dr. Young's Ideal Rectal Dilators
"Do not neglect to use your Dilators ... It is advisable to use [them] occasionally as a precautionary measure. You need have no fear of using them too much".
My people, do not become accustomed to having a dilator up your ass, you will become addicted and resent its absence
"Why, then, in the name of pity and kindness, do these men not apply the dilators each to himself or to each other?" Believe me I ask myself this every day.
Young admitted that some patients panicked at the sight of the devices.
:soviet-bashful:
An 1893 Medical News editorial noted that "Dr. Young" himself, writing in another journal of which he was the editor, praised rectal dilation as a cure for insanity, claiming that at least "three-fourths of all the howling maniacs of the world" were curable "in a few weeks' time by the application of orificial methods".
Haemorrhoids are treated with topical medication that dilate the blood vessels
I'll admit I haven't seen a haemorrhoid patient in real life yet, nor do I plan to. But I don't think this is right, The medical treatment of haemorrhoids is mostly done with ligation (Or they're just cut out, but that's not the norm), but only if a regiment of improved diet, exercise and haemorrhoid cream hasn't worked (Or it is suspected it won't work). And haemorrhoid cream can contain a lot of stuff, like vaso constrictors analgesics, or some sort of barrier like petroleum jelly. But not a vasoDILATOR as far as I can tell. Like I don't even see how you would treat them with a vasodilator, vasodilation is sort of the opposite of what you want if you want the haemorrhoids to go away. (On a related topic: I don't even think you even treat vericose veins with vasoactive drugs IIRC, since they don't respond to those drugs.)
Also, I don't think you can treat them at all by stimulation. I don't... I don't understand how that would work mechanically. Edit: If this were true we could treat them by spanking, and by your analysis we could treat vericose veins by slapping people's legs or pinching. )Or just by having people run around.)
Yes, but actually, miracle cures and "patent medicines" are bad
Inventing a time machine to go back in time and arrest the doctors prescribing rectal dilators
i don't know why but i thought that said "urethral" not "rectal" and i wanted death in it's swiftest form
Can't be short of breath if you're having an anal orgasm? Is this the logic?
