MikeD Enterprises is pleased to announce its first foray into medical science: Medicinal Tigers! The perfect complement to medicinal maggots.

Anyone who has ever owned a tiger knows just how finicky these beast's appetites can be; turning their whiskered nose up to anything even slightly rancid.

Medicinal maggots, however only eat necrotic tissue, shunning the living flesh; making them so suitable for wound debridement.

MikeD Enterprises, and the consumer we are sure, will see these inverse corollary traits to be a match made in heaven.

Posit one of our hypo-allergenic, sterilized medicinal tigers next to the patient, and wait for kitty to eat him/her, signifying that it is time to remove the maggots from the wound.

       //I swear by Apollo the healer, by Aesculapius, by Health and all the powers of healing, and call to witness all the gods and goddesses that I may keep this Oath and Promise to the best of my ability and judgement. I will pay the same respect to my master in the Science as to my parents and share my life with him and pay all my debts to him. I will regard his sons as my brothers and teach them the Science, if they desire to learn it, without fee or contract. I will hand on precepts, lectures and all other learning to my sons, to those of my master and to those pupils duly apprenticed and sworn, and to none other. I will use my power to help the sick to the best of my ability and judgement; I will abstain from harming or wronging any man by it. I will not give a fatal draught to anyone if I am asked, nor will I suggest any such thing. Neither will I give a woman means to procure an abortion. I will be chaste and religious in my life and in my practice. I will not cut, even for the stone, but I will leave such procedures to the practitioners of that craft. Whenever I go into a house, I will go to help the sick and never with the intention of doing harm or injury. I will not abuse my position to indulge in sexual contacts with the bodies of women or of men, whether they be freemen or slaves. Whatever I see or hear, professionally or privately, which ought not to be divulged, I will keep secret and tell no one. If, therefore, I observe this Oath and do not violate it, may I prosper both in my life and in my profession, earning good repute among all men for my time. If I transgress and forswear this oath, may my lot be otherwise.//   

       nowhere does it mention tigers!

       Presumably, since tigers are feline, the process of pre -consumption sniffing constitutes a CAT scan ...

       //nowhere does it mention tigers!//   

       Well of course you wont find tigers in the expurgated version.   

       //pre -consumption sniffing constitutes a CAT scan//   

       That is how it will be billed, yes.

       Thought this would be an idea to harness Charlie Sheen's blood.

       Maybe you've got the expurgated version. I'm pretty sure the second stanza has a pretty long bit about tigers.

       And a bit about the gannet.

       You will need lots of Tiger Balm, too.

       and?

       a version of the original greek one apparently.

       //rebranded, the cat scan.//   

       Or the kitty scan. Of course this would cause gynocologists to think of an alternate name for thier examinations...
