Your Girlfriend No Longer Has To Re-Use Catheters

Joe Mande found this commercial for urinary catheters in which a lovely Southern lady named Holly who could easily have replaced Jean Smart on Designing Women tells the story of how she got over her fear of calling strangers and no longer has to re-use the same urinary catheters over and over. Also, no more UTIs, TMI Holly, TMI!:

Ahhh, so many questions! Why does she have to use a catheter every day? Does she put it in herself? Is it a normal part of getting old that nobody's told us about yet? I agree with Joe that "cath" is a great new verb that I can't wait to work into regular conversation, but otherwise commercials like this just remind me of the slow march towards death.
