Omas

Nurses always have some good medical stories, and late one night the talk turned to, "homeopathic remedies".  We laughed about at the suckers who spend their life savings on an Ancient Mayan Cures, Tai Chi Teas and All Natural Herbal Remedies. 

Nurse's Note:  synonyms for the word "homeopathic" are "charlatan", "mountebank" and "rip-off"

One nurse told us about a family member who  had spent thousands of dollars on a device that made their drinking water alkaline.  The rationale behind it was vague--but the water reportedly tasted awful and made the whole house smell like a rotten egg.

When I asked why they were willing to pay for such an transparent scam--since the body's acid/base balance system would render the impact of drinking alkaline water negligible--he told me that his in-laws think that drinking regular water causes animal tumors.

That seemed so funny to me that I started drawing animal tumors. 

Here they are, a whole Oncology Ward full:


Platypoma

Octopoma




Armadilloma





Rhinoceroma





Peacockoma



Kangaroma





Walroma







Stegosauroma




Narwhaloma





Pegasoma




These animal tumors can occur in vulnerable children who are not drinking alkaline water.

Bearoma





Tyrannosauroma




Dating can be difficult with an animal tumor...







Breaking up with an animal tumor is also difficult. 


Try to live an authentic life despite your  animal tumor!

  1. Oh thank goodness...I checked earlier and nothing had changed, and I was very sad that I was going to have a very boring night without learning about animal tumors! Way to come through for me :)

    Ms. McNoodly, shame on you for attempting to squelch this author's first amendment rights! It's just this type of edgy, ground-breaking information that is pushing the limits of modern medicine! Why don't you go back to blood-letting, and chanting away the "demon spirits" with your shaman?
