Laxative's sooth chronic pain?!

Apparently rubbing a laxative on your skin will take away residual chronic pain from fractured femur. Dr. Gott represents the epitome of all that is stupid. Question your surgeon as if it's the surgeon fault that you fell and broke your frail 70 yr old femur and rub castor oil on yourself. Why don't you just ingest the whole bottle of castor oil and I bet you won't feel your leg pain while you diligently sit on the toilet. Not only that, later within the Dear Dr. Gott piece he offers a diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. I love the definitive diagnosis he makes based off of extremely little information; the differential diagnostic pathway in his head is ridiculous. I'd recommend first off is to seek some advice from a real health care professional that doesn't prescribe woo.

All seriousness and criticism aside here is video from a classic movie.
