When lipsticks cure...

I was just wondering about a brilliant business opportunity which also answers an age old quest to prevent medicine being regarded as a grim field. Well, my answer is, mix medicines and cosmetics!

Do I hear you asking "What? How? Why?" and all other interrogatives? Wait and breathe-in my theory.
Well, medicines and vaccines are nothing but powders clumped together in form of tablets, or liquids in bottles. Well, instead of the form which makes men shirk away from it, mix it up in ladies' cosmetics like lip-sticks, masceras, etc (sorry don't know any more terms).

Then when a guy goes for prescription, the scene would be something like this :
"Patient : Doctor doctor I have severe headache. Help me.
Dr : Ah easy! Apply this lipstick to your wife and kiss her on the lips 3 times a day.
Patient : And what about this ulcer in my mouth
Dr : Easy again! Apply this whatever-its-called on your wife's cheek and kiss her 2 times daily."

Features of this method :
Taking medicines would be a lot more fun.
Nobody will forget to take medicinces.
Helps in bringing couples together. Differences due to lack of being together shall get weeded out, or rather, kissed out.
Cosmetic sales will soar.
A kiss a day can keep the doctor away will be the slogan of the day.
Mallika Sherawat will have huge competition from the sickest of persons. Hmm, a case of "an eye for an eye", maybe?
Women can use this theory by mixing medicines in hair-gel or after-shave lotion or something.
How it can be applied to children is still under research.
Chances of population explosion lurk heavily on the theory.
Further advances by you in medicine with this theory, are invited with all due appreciation.
You would be really dumb to think I am serious.

Cheers!!!
