A Monday report in the New York Post details a podcast interview between author Thammika Songkaeo and host Mark Millich about the failure of Songkaeo’s marriage, which she attributes solely to her ex-husband’s use of the hair-loss prevention drug Propecia, which caused serious erectile dysfunction problems and thus an empty sex life… an experience she turned into a novel titled Stamford Hospital which became the top seller on Amazon’s Singapore site, per the Post.
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age,” Lovecraft wrote nearly a century ago, almost prescient of the utter madness of this Post article.
Like how the fuck does this even exist, lol. What the hell kind of drugs does someone need to be on to think “Hmmm, this is an interesting subject matter for a low-calorie content mill article”? Holy shit.
Anyway, not only is Millich the host of this podcast but he’s a client of the Hair Club for Men who took Propecia and had the horrific side effects, which the Post writes included “anxiety, dizziness and slurred speech. His sex drive also plummeted, and his genitals shrank and changed shape.”
Fun fact: You know who has been a Propecia user for years. Probably explains quite a lot about him.
