Your patient will be CALM & APPROACHABLE
with THORAZINE brand (of chlorpromazine)
Want them more ACCESSIBLE and COMMUNICATIVE
sans le alcohol?? Give 'em LIBRIUM...
Ahhh Yes, with LITHOBID your misbehaving
manic-depressive pest -er -patient will
exhibit COMPLIANCE
(no more self-destructive purchases of Manolo Blahnik shoes)
Rapport!! Yes Doctor, I understand my problems a lot more now with DEPROL
(meprobamate ~ aka MILTOWN)
But wait, there's more...outside the door, I'll take four more...DEXAMYL so I can vacuum, and sew, and vacuum, and cook and... and cook and clean and wash windows and dang baby look absolutely stunning doing it...AND have time for a bubble bath before dinner!!!One thing - at the very least the earlier print ads were seen by psychiatrists who actually spent a good amount of time with their patients, not like the 10 minutes if we are lucky...its easier for them to scribble out Rx for something if the patient asks for it...or incresingly, easier still, hand the patient a sample of the newer, patent med, because all the major pharms have salespeople supply them...
just my.02mg ;-)
