Medicine - June 2007

I've heard that we are supposed to eat and drink much for the body to recover from the loss of blood. What would be best to eat and drink?
In Dracula, Dr. Van Helsing gives port wine to the donors, is that a right thing to do, I mean, is it science based?

The Vancouver Province: Doctors Slam China's 'Live' Organ Program

Foreign patients who travel to China for transplants are likely receiving organs culled from political prisoners who are alive when their corneas, kidneys and livers are harvested, then left to die, an international group of doctors is warning.

"China has long used organs from executed criminals, but since 2000 has turned to living donors and outlawed Falun Gong members to supply a growing trade in medical transplants," Doctors Against Organ Harvesting said yesterday in Toronto.

The newly formed organization is seeking to warn patients that someone else's life is likely being sacrificed in the process of obtaining organs.

The group is sounding the alarm in the medical community about evidence of unethical transplants in China and want doctors to impress the information upon their patients

What's your take?

I recently read that nicotine is good for the mental health of people with psychiatric problems. How true is that? Is it bad? Somehow good?
Does anyone have any actual evidence or studies to prove one or the other?

I know pharmacists fill presriptions & know about all the different medicines. I also know that MD's, DDS's, etc can give out prescriptions for medicines. Is it true that no Dr can give out medication without first checking with a pharmacist to make sure its OK to prescribe it to the patient? Is it true that a pharmacist can call a Dr & tell them the medicine they prescribed is the wrong one & tell the Dr what type must be given for the patient & that the Dr must listen? Is it true that pharmacists go to school 2 years longer than any Dr? Who chooses what medicine can be treated with, the Dr or pharmacist? I'm asking because I was told that pharmcists go to school 2 years longer than Drs & that Drs can only prescribe what the pharmacist says to & ONLY pharmacists can decide what type of medicine one can recieve? Was told if a Dr give out a trial & one has any health problem or reaction with another med they can sue for the MD not checking with the pharmacist first? Is all this true?

Unfortunately it has only happened in mice, but the technique could theoretically be used on human cells as well. No embryos are destroyed using this method. Would this make you change your mind about funding research in this area if this method was used to create the source of the cells?
