Title: Dr. Hoffman--the quick quack
Post by: CandleLighter on October 22, 2002, 06:31:33 PM
I loved how Julia checked Sabrina's blood pressure.. she barely got the cuff around her arm and left it on a few seconds... she didnt even have her stethoscope around her neck, much less in her ears.. then pronounced her blood pressure was fine.. sheesh!  But of course.. she determined sabrina needed a sedative..lol  (http://websmileys.bei.t-online.de/div250.gif)

EASY REMEDIES FOR ILLNESS: THE SEDATIVE APPROACH by Dr. Julia Hoffman

I posted a suggestion that the board should take a running tally (as in the case of Peter/Jeff/Ned) on the amount of times Julia has said... "take these, they're sedatives..." [sleep][sleep][sleep]
I think we will all be surprised as to the true amount of times she peddles her drugs!

Julia passes out so much dope, I sometimes half expect her to break into a chorus of "Mother's Little Helper". Or maybe "Theme from Valley of the Dolls"...

I was reading my Pre Operative Instructions for LASIK surgery I'm having done on Thursday, and it says, "You will be offered a sedative if you feel nervous." I thought of Julia.

I think that Julia should have suggested to Ned Stuart that he take the sedatives,  because if anyone needs a sedative,  it's defintely him!!

Ain't that the truth! I wanted a few Valium from my primary for pre/post op office laser surgery and all I got was ONE lousy 5mg tablet to take one hour prior to procedure.  Once it wore off, I was back to being a nervous nellie with the discomfort.  I did get pain meds but they make me sleepy when I want to be aware and just relaxed enough to cope.  Maybe I should've called Dr. Hoffman instead--I'm sure she would've had a few to spare in her medical bag.

Yes, but if you WANT a medication, suddenly she is a suspicious narc! You have to act like you DON'T want one, then you get them...

Hmmm . . . wondering if all those times characters vehemently said they didn't want any meds they were really onto Julia and just trying to score some valium . . . adds a whole new dimension to the show ;)

Cheryl, Good luck with your surgery! :-)


Thank you! It's a quick procedure that involves folding back the corneal flap, then removing a thin layer of corneal tissue with a light from a excimer laser. After removal, the flap is replaced and bonds back into place without the need for stitches. It causes the center of the cornea to flatten, which changes the focusing power of the cornea, improving it to the point of no longer needing glasses or contact lenses to see with.

I love that fact that you associated Valley Of The Dolls with Dr. Julia Hoffman.

LOL

I had to laugh at Julia's attempt to take the BP .. come on Grayson.. you've been to the doctor you know how it goes. . But LUVED how she told Ned, "i'll send you a bill." such deadpan that was wonderful.

That WAS fabulous. And it worked on so many levels. (I had to scream!)

Do you suppose there was any sincerity at all involved in Julia's "examination" of Sabrina?

I think that Sabrina is purposely not telling Ned about Chris because she feels that Chris is a victim as well and not really responsible for what happened. The one thing I don't understand though, is the fact that I thought Chris told Barn that the first time he changed into a werewolf was the time that Sabrina had walked in on him to ready his apt. for a surprise party. But if that was the case then he shouldn't have had the shackles because he didn't know he was going to turn into a werewolf.

I was waiting for Julia to give Ned one of her infamous bitch-slaps. Is anybody going to take him out!?! Looks like the only way to get away from him is to escape into another century.

I love that "send you a bill" line - one of my favorites!

No, two separate incidents.  Initially, he told Barnabas about when it first happened.  I think shortly after college.  By this time it's been happening to him, but I think he said it was the first time anyone else saw it happen.

You know, I remember this too but what I don't get is why on earth would he let himself "get engaged to be married" when he knew perfectly well what was happening to himself every time the moon was full?
Wasn't this the sole reason for breaking up with Carolyn?
What was he going to do when he married Sabrina? Tell her he's going sking every time there's a full moon?? [hdscrt]

When people are in love, they do the damnedest things and have the most impossible expectations at times (as alot of us have learned). Maybe he thought he would be able to gain control over his affliction.  He didn't want what happened to Sabrina to happen to Carolyn so he sent her packing.  The werewolf kills and the fact that he didn't kill Sabrina is interesting.

Ned was the most obnoxious character with all that 'handsy', 'touchy-feeling' stuff going on.

Perhaps Julia passed out all that dope to lay the groundwork for turning Wyndcliffe into a posh rehab clinic.

That's where the money is!

Yeah!  At least JULIA passed her stuff around.  LOL
Ever notice she never seems to have uppers?  Only downers?
I think maybe she kept the uppers for herself (which is why she never needs much sleep).

Actually Julia gave an upper to Barney to keep him from having the dream. I also plan to record everytime she passes out a sedative when I watch all the eps.  I am sure the number will be staggering!! LOL

Another tally we could have been keeping. Where were all these great ideas before the Watching Project started back in January '07?
Title: Re: Dr. Hoffman--the quick quack
Post by: Taeylor Collins on August 17, 2008, 06:59:50 AM
I don't think I was part of the board at that time MB.  I have started watching DS The Collectors series and of course Julia hasn't arrived.  I am watching the beginning and the watching project together (I didn't become a full poster until lately) so I just jumped on the WP where it was at.  I wish I could have started from the begnining with you guys!! Will we repeat the watching project after this one is finished??

I was a shy lurker but I am glad I have come out I enjoy the boards immensly! :)

i had always hoped since ex-lax was a big daytime sponser on DS that the writers would have had Dr. Julia pass out a few of those from her bag instead of the ready made injections and sedative pill that were hard to swallow....[spoiler]remember when she was concerned that Adam would not be able to swallow a pill to make him sleep just after he came to life?[/spoiler]

Can you imagine some of the great disappearing acts of Collinwood elite if they had Hoffman hand out the ex -lax instead of the sedatives....candy or suppository...whats the dif?

And since the good doctor hoffman was a bigger quack than the AFLACK duck, who at Collinwood would come back to complain about a little thing like constipation...Roger, Mrs. Johnson?? ?? ? after eating her boiled dinners it would of been a line up at Dr. Hoffmans little bag to get some relief [ghost_mad]
