i went to the local medical supply shop and talked the manager.  they
carried the 5 FR, but only in 6 inch.  he got out  his catalog and ordered
the 36" for me immediately.  i imagine anywhere that could order
pharmaceutical supplies would have access, it is just a matter of someone
being willing to order them.  the company i used is hi-school pharmacy, but
it was hi-school pharmacy medical supply rather than just the regular
pharmacy.  they carry more durable medical equipment and supplies, in
addition to regular pharmaceuticals.  are they around where you are?
