Okay, I had to check. Yes, these are all real words. Although I didn’t look deeper to see if one could actually get lipodystrophy between two trochanters, as “bitrochanteric lipodystrophy” seems to imply.
The drug advertisers don’t both speaking fast any more; they seem to have discovered that no one pays any attention. Although that clown would give people pause … probably not a good scene to include particularly when talking about agonizing death.
- dropsy: An old term for the swelling of soft tissues due to the accumulation of excess water.
- Erysipelas is a bacterial skin infection involving the upper dermis that characteristically extends into the superficial cutaneous lymphatics.
- Dumdum fever: Also called kala-azar, a chronic, potentially fatal parasitic disease of the viscera (the internal organs)
- grippe: old-fashioned term for influenza
- phthisis: pulmonary tuberculosis or a similar progressive systemic disease.
- quinsy: inflammation of the throat
- Saint Vitus Dance: Sydenham chorea is a neuropsychiatric manifestation of rheumatic fever. It is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated jerking movements primarily affecting the face, hands and feet.

- Sepsis: Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the body’s response to an infection damages its own tissues.
- anaphylactic shock: a severe allergic reaction
- bitrochanteric lipodystrophy: An abnormal condition, affecting mostly women, where excessive fat deposits occur on the buttocks and outer, upper thighs.
- agonizing death: well, that’s kind of self-explanatory.

I miss the days when it was illegal for pharmaceutical companies (and lawyers and doctors) to advertise. Wish we could go back to that!

As long as there isn’t a chance for erectile disfunction, men will shrug off all other warnings.

My favorite is the warning on the Viagra commercials.
GUARANTEED to drum up sales.

“But its worth it, for the drugs I need”. That is from a music/cartoon video very much worth looking up on Youtube. It is called “The drugs I need”.
