Apparently, according to an ad for medical supplies on local TV, one
uses catheters when one has occasion to _cath_:

"And every time that she needed to cath, she had to boil used catheters."

"Now, thanks to [the advertiser], when I want to cath, I can use a
new, sterile catheter."

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
