How long do you have to fast before you can consider your stomach "empty"? As in that the pills you take will not mix with any food?

Thanks!

P.S.
My doctor is away.

This is the complete question:
A patient is brought into hospital having overdoesd on the weak acid, paracetamol (pKa = 9.5). It has been a few hours since they ingested the drug so it is decided to facilitate clearance of the drug by adjusting the patient's urinary pH. Determine if you would administer sodium bicarbonate (makes urinary pH~8) or ammonium chloride (makes urinary pH~4) to facilitate excretion of paracetamol. Explain the rationale behind your selection based on the principles of pharmacokinetics.

The pill was loose in a small compartment of my purse with broken up cigarettes, probably in there for a week. I forgot this, and took the pill. Do you think the nicotine could permeate the coating and be inside the pill? Or would washing it off, eliminate any ingestion of nicotine? I know nothing about the chemistry or makeup of tablets so I dont know if it would just be on the outside, in the coating, or somehow inside the tablet now.

1. patient was implanted with a pacemaker 2 years ago.
2. 2D echocardiogram was performed recently
3. the sonographer was surprised that there was a pacemaker, since the patient stated only during the proceedure that he has a pacemaker.
4. Human error may be a factor but please enlighten me if it can be detected.

Reason for this inquiry is that I would like to know if it is indeed detectable by 2D echo why was it missed if the one who performed the proceedure was surprised there was a pacemaker and didn't see it. Thanks

I'm looking for a good word to use for the opposite of agnosia.
A-Gnosis basically is Greek for "non-knowledge", so does anyone know what the Greek for "complete knowledge" is?
Agnosia is commonly used as a suffix or compound word for a lack of ability in certain areas, is there a corresponding suffix/compound for an unusual aptitude in these areas?

Thanks for the help!
