Medicine, bar scene slowly merging

Sometimes alcohol really is the only cure.

In England, an old man with a bum ticker was pretty much cured of his condition by doctors, and a little help from our friend booze. The patient, 77, had a rapid heartbeat, which can be fatal if not treated. Doctors solved the problem by injecting alcohol straight into his heart.

It may not have been Johnnie Walker, but it did the trick. Whatever the reason, we’re glad to see medicine is finally embracing the wonders of injecting hootch into patients. Would anyone have opposed Obamacare if they knew it meant free booze?
