So I had the TV on just for background noise while I was working, and suddenly some TV doctor comes on and starts talking about how–if you feel tingling or heaviness in your legs–you may have peripheral artery disease, or P.A.D.
That got my attention. I looked up and watched in annoyance as the doctor proceeded to tell you everything you can and should do (including, of course, buying a particular product) in order to combat the terrible hazard that is P.A.D. And there’s my initials all over the commercial. “Beware of P.A.D.” “Know the early warning signs so you can avoid P.A.D.” “P.A.D., the silent killer.”
At least it’s not something that requires a rectal exam to detect. “Make sure your doctor sticks his finger up your butt to see if there’s any warning signs of P.A.D. in there.”
