Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin

Peter

So I’m sure many of you have heard about the new wonder drug Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin. It’s a new treatment for both leprosy and SARS available in droplet form. It can be given orally, by IV or as a suppository.

New research suggests it's an effective treatment both for the common cold and trauma due to lightning strikes. It’s been thoroughly tested on animals who unfortunately all died [unpublished study]. Many doctors are now using it as a first line treatment for MI, MS, ME, COPD, HIV, PE and DVT.

Off label uses include reversing impotence and performance enhancement in combat sports. Unfortunately it’s list of common side effects include nausea, vomiting, alopecia, heart attacks, homosexuality, and supernumerary gynecomastia. However it’s excellent cost point has made it popular with NHS GPs. Even for cases of AIDS and pubic lice.

Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin is made from the cerebellar cortex of a genetically modified bison, improves strength and intelligence and is an effective antidote to ricin. The Minister of Health, we hear, will shortly be advising: take Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin!

[now lets see if our moderators and their AIs are capable of understanding irony and context]

  • To everyone that Peter's post has confused or offended: just to be clear, the OP is humour and relates to a song about a made up drug. It isn't medical advice, and it is tagged as humour. I think that the reference to the moderation & AI systems of this site was due to the fact that the system has been so over sensitive since the upgrade, and in many cases has quarantined posts with no offensive content at all, leading us to wonder exactly what the parameters are for checking content.

    Peter - I like to see a variety of posts here, including humour, and I saw that this one was tagged as such and personally found it amusing. However if I was you I would have written a sentence at the end to make things absolutely clear such as "Disclaimer: this is humour and is not medical advice". Whilst I got the joke, we're all different and some people who use the site may be feeling vulnerable and confused and looking for support, or just not have the same sense of humour.

    I tried being clear that I was just passing on an interesting story and not offering medical advice, but that wasn;t enough. 

    I seem to be on some sort of super censorship where my replies don't appear AND the tread I was responding to in tha case of my cat pictures thread becomes unavailable.

    Well, I certainly fall into this category at the moment.  I am indifferent to some rules, but I will happily obey almost any "rule" if it is applied and enforced evenly and fairly to all.  Perhaps some "partisan" application of some rules have crept into this place........and some members have noticed, and are simply highlighting this phenomenon (perhaps because of woefully inadequate communication from "the powers that be" here, especially given the undoubted and widespread tech problems being reported on the forum at the moment?)

    I sincerely believe that no one, from any angle, is deliberately trying to derail this forum platform......but all folks are simply trying to voice their concerns about the current woeful performance of it.........because they care about the rights of ALL autistic people too....and they want to defend "safe and fair spaces" for all of our tribe?

    I think it is OFTEN (and perhaps wilfully) forgotten that the challenges of autistic people come in all shades, shapes and sizes.  Whilst it is easy and "non-contentious" to yell support for people who can't understand/perceive irony and duplicity ...... what about the poor autistic people who have a HEIGHTENED perception of these things being present [irrespective of whether they can truly 'understand' such matters or not?]  Are this latter group consigned to "be silent" here, just because others cannot / do not have the capacity to hear and see such matters?

    Again - Lotus - please be assured that these comments are not "aimed" at you, nor any other individuals - these are merely my words prompted by your post - and my wider experience of this place - both past and present.
