We've all seen products advertised on TV, radio, magazines, billboards, and newspapers. Usually somewhere on the ad is a disclaimer. So I got to thinkin'.... About Ostomy and Stoma disclaimers.

A typical ad:

Got gut trouble? Toilets give you the heebeejeebees? Sepsis, C Diff, and peritonitis got you down? Introducing Ostomy! The "can do" solution available in three models. Colostomy, ileostomy, and Urostomy. One call does it all. Surgeons available now. Call 1-800-Stoma today.

Then the tiny print disclaimer:

"Results shown for informational purposes only. Your Ostomy might suck." Ostomys shown created by professional surgeons in a controlled hospital setting, your surgeon might suck. Don't attempt this at home. Ostomys not guaranteed to treat all conditions, some conditions, or even one condition. Reversal options at extra cost. Not available in all states or territories. Ostomy supplies available at considerable extra cost. Read all instructions before use. Your mileage may vary. Ostomy addiction, call 1-800-takedown. Shake well before serving.

If your ostomy erection lasts more than 4 hours, it's important to seek medical attention.

I'll be seeing my surgeon in a week to talk about a reversal and I'm printing this off to start the appointment with laughs. Thanks for this, I love the "do not try this at home". Hahahahahahaha!
