That's an approximation of what was done to servicemen during WW2. There were no antibiotics.

I thought that penicillin came into common use just before WWII, but I could be mistaken. I definitely have heard WWII old timers talking about "pro kits" and "short arm inspections", so the two treatments probably coexisted for a while.

I can hear it now: It's 1. Reagan's 2. Bush's 3. Christianity's fault. It's anything but gay behavior.

You're right, in the sense that Fleming discovered the antibiotic properties of penicillin about 1940.

However, it was a rare commodity, and I don't believe it was used for cases of VD in the early '40's. The stories some of the guys would tell about treatment for gonorrhea would curl your hair.

I came down with a severe case of pneumonia in 1948 while in engineering school, and penicillin was commonly available by then. I owe my restoration to health then to penicillin every 4 hours by injection for about two weeks.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - more news on the medical consequences of the normal and natural life of homosexuals.

let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

Notice that 80% of gonorrhea cases are among homosexuals, roughly 2% of the population. Tells you something, doesn't it?

YEP!

Give them 1 gram of Rocephin/ceftriaxone mixed with normal saline in each butt cheek without Z tracking the shot.

A couple of therapeutic sessions like might modify some of their self destructive behavior

ceftriaxone is the generic name, Rocephin is the trade name

normal saline can not be used to reconstitute ceftriaxone, only sterile water or 1%lidocaine.

I sold Rocephin for over a decade.

This combo is for those real PIA patients.
