I would have guessed she was being treated for constipation.

Low cost enema.

My dad almost passed a kidney stone while we drove over a long patch of potholes.

Owww! … my eye!

(Your mom told ya it was gonna happen!)

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

“But I’m here to be treated for Vertigo!”

So Bleeb gets a quick peek each time her lower extremities pass by his position. Kind of a strobe-like effect. Cool!

Seems like a lot of work.

Use the force!

For REAL Centrifugal Force, … check out the Blonsky Birthing Device.

Heh, whatever works!

Hitting the floor or the bed several times also helps to break it up so that it passes (they pass) more easily.

There’s evidence that roller coasters can help you pass kidney stones.

If the kidney stone passes well that way, assign it to a quarterback position.

The grandkids love doing that.

If this doesn’t work, it’s a renal failure.

Easier to do the water treatment….she’s about to be flung into oblivion.

Ewww, ewww, ewww, no, this would be way too messy!

Looks like a chiropractic therapy to me.

I can only imagine the medical bills incurred.

That’s their outreach program.

thought he was tryin’ to help deliver a baby!

At least it’s not a glass house.

Ever since I took a class in engineering physics, oh so many decades ago, I’ve cringed every time I hear or read the phrase “centrifugal force”. It ain’t a real force… it’s made up. Centrifugal effect would be a more correct phrasing, unfortunately I suppose that’s a battle I’ll never win.

Centrifugal force is a fictitious force in Newtonian mechanics (also called an “inertial” or “pseudo” force) that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference.

re: en.wikipedia.Org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

Now centripetal force is a real force in action but not generally known by most from what I’ve seen and heard.

RUN, BLEEB. They’ll be after you next!

I’d be very surprised if this is covered by your health insurance.

Insurance companies preferred method for most ailments.

I’m more concerned about what else may shoot out from her

That lamp’s going to get it on her next pass.

Lemonade works better, it dissolves kidney stones.

Yeah, right in the face of the lady in the bed!
