A GoLytely Addendum

As I'm sure you can imagine, I made sure to comment to my doctor the horrors and sadistic awfulness of a colon cleanse.  In his wonderful way of straight faced humor, he told me that GoLytely was named and invented by a famous intestinal neurosurgeon named Dr. Crapper.  Yes.  Dr. Crapper from Great Britain.  I swear I'm not making this up!  He's some british lord and descended from the inventor of the modern toilet.  Hence, why we call it the Crapper.  Oh the things you learn in pre op!

  1. It was invented by Dr Glenn Davis and Dr. John Fordtran at Baylor University in Dallas, TX. They published their findings in the New England Journal of Medicine.
