HOW IS NORMA?

email forwarded by Leslie Sirimanne.

This is hilarious !!

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph's Hospital. She timidly asked,
"Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"

The operator said, "I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room number of the patient?"

The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, "Norma Findlay, Room 302."

The operator replied, "Let me put you on hold while I check with the nurse's station for that room."

After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said,
"I have good news.
Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back normal and her
physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged
 tomorrow."

The grandmother said, "Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried. God bless you for the good news."

The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"

The grandmother said, "No, I'm Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells me anything."

PS
 Prolonged, painful erection of the penis is called Priapism in medical literature. Priapus was a God of Greek Mythology. He is depicted in drawings and statues as having a permanent erection. 
Priapus - statue.

Priapus - fresco

The medical condition is caused by clotting of blood inside the venous compartments of the penis. The blood has gone in and made the penis erect for sexual activity but is unable to find its way out. The answer was to puncture the penis with a large bore needle and wash out the clots. The penis can be made to shrink. Unfortunately in quite a few patients impotence results.
It was in the late 1990s that I saw this patient. Viagra was available illegally in Sri Lanka in the late 1990s. This chap, a businessman, had been told that one had to swallow a tablet of Viagra one hour before the expected intercourse. He had bought TEN tablets of viagra at Rs.990/= each. Then the comedy started. One hour before he went home he took a tablet. When he reached home the wife was all dolled up ready to go shopping. He had to post-pone the sexual encounter. He did not tell the wife that he was experimenting this new drug. Just before they left the shopping mall he took one more tablet as two hours had elapsed after he took the first one. Then they met a friend who dragged them to a birthday party which lasted for three hours. Our friend swallowed a third tablet, just before leaving the party. When they reached home the businessman was in full form and ready. They got down to business and he performed well. They kept repeating the sex act but the penis remained erect and was getting painful. Then only they realised that something was wrong and came to the hospital for treatment.

Man with 'agonising' 17-hour erection claims he had three pints of blood drained from his penis (and 24 injections)

PS
I have seen a similar case in the 1970s in Kandy in the pre-Viagra era. They used an ointment called 'Spanish fly' to stimulate an erection. Treatment was the same.

Al Maari, 11th Century, Aleppo, Syria.

email from Dawood

Al Maari. 11th century Syria

An Atheist a Vegan a philosopher and Poet who lived in 11th. Century Aleppo Syria ,
His name was Al Maari.


The following are a small sample from. His poetry.


If an insolent man thrusts a sword of speech against you,
Oppose him with your patience, so you may break its edge.


Victory
 If time aids thee to victory, 
he will aid
Thy foe anon to take a full revenge.


On abstaining from meat


      You are diseased in understanding and religion. 
Come to me, that you may hear something of sound truth.
Do not unjustly eat fish the water has given up,
And do not desire as food the flesh of slaughtered animals,
Or the white milk of mothers who intended its pure draught 
for their young, not noble ladies.
And do not grieve the unsuspecting birds by taking eggs;
for injustice is the worst of crimes.
And spare the honey which the bees get industriously
from the flowers of fragrant plants;
For they did not store it that it might belong to others,
Nor did they gather it for bounty and gifts.
I washed my hands of all this; and wish that I
Perceived my way before my hair went gray!
                                       

Soften your tread. Methinks the earth's surface is but bodies of the dead,


Walk slowly in the air, so you do not trample on the remains of all who trod before thee!
