10 thoughts on “I Guess Dehydration Is Not A Serious Medical Condition”
I have actually had experiences with serious dehydration (as a sequela to a variety of other causes) which caused syncope, a pseudo-seizure, vomiting upon drinking water (hence its seriousness), and other significant consequences. Getting IV treatment was essential.
I find this to be funny, but dehydration *can* be a very serious condition.

Water, that’s fine. Now how ’bout some AIR?

Wow, what an oppourtunity, I bought my house and it has these three chrome things, and get this they deliver this stuff at the turn of a knob or lever hot or cold. I understand this stuff actualy bubbles out of the ground somewhere further up the mountain and some enterprising group has laid pipes to feed it right to my house, sure they want $30 a month for about all I can use but it got me to thinking there is an enterprising local that fills jugs of this stuff and sells them to ‘city folk’ for like $10 a jug! Now if I was to put it up in 12 ounce jars I could get $2/jar for it that would be like $40/jug hot damn I going to get rich! Not as rich as those medico folks cause I bet they charge the guberment $10 a jar for their non-formulary equivelent. I bet if I just added some slick marketing term like + or MK III to the jars I could get $15/jar.

I would love to read the letter but it is impossible. I tried enlarging several ways and it is a total blur. Can you resend?

How many phone calls were needed from the prescribing doctor’s office to get this approved?
Just wondering.
Is it off-patent? Did they only approve the generic version of H20? Inquiring readers want to know!
Thank goodness someone will put this into perspective.
Totally interested. Definitely needed
