Great....you save your buddy's life by stopping the bleeding, but then turn around and kill him with Toxic Shock Syndrome. :roll:

I don't know which would be worse....getting shot ..or listening to all the tampon jokes from your buddies, after you got out of the hospital. Oh well, at least you'd be alive to hear them.

I would use Midol if I thought it would work.
But Sneaky, you do take Midol......

I swear I remember someone saying that they took midol on one of the boards...and they gave a good explanation as to why they did too.....


Thanks Doc.
