Mercury, pseudoephedrine is a distant relative of adrenaline and is in a lot of cold and flu remedies. It can be prescribed too. I keep a bottle of the elixir at home and offer it to the children when they say they "need" medicine. If they're malingering, they'll say "If it's the red snotty-nose medicine, I won't bother, thanks".
I'll let Benz tell you about renal failure. Most of the patients I have with it are either diabetics or young Afro-Caribbean women with SLE.
Benz, if you hadn't been big enough for the challenges of dealing with people who are already terminally ill when they come to you, God would have made you a private dermatologist and given you a syringe of Botox.
LOS ANGELES – Velvet-voiced R&B crooner Barry White, renowned for his lush baritone and carnal lyrics that oozed sex appeal on songs such as "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe," died Friday morning, his manager said.
White, who had suffered kidney failure from years of high blood pressure, died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center around 9:30 a.m., said manager Ned Shankman. He was 58.
White had been undergoing dialysis treatment and had been hospitalized since last September.
His work epitomized seductive disco music, also known as "make out" music. The heavyset musician enjoyed three decades of fame for songs like "You're the First, the Last, My Everything" and "It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me."
White's canyon-deep, butter-smooth vocals and throbbing musical tempos emphasized his songs' sexually charged verbal foreplay. His 1975 song "Love Serenade" began with the purring, first-person lyrics: "I want you the way you came into the world/ I don't want to feel no clothes ..."
It's true, isn't it? People are scared of cancer, but there are far, far worse, and less treatable, conditions. COPD. Heart failure. Too many neurological diseases to list. Crohn's disease. Systemic sclerosis. And, no doubt, loads more.
The New GMS Contract is trying to address some of them, with frameworks for things like multiple sclerosis.
There's lots of support outwith the NHS for most common-ish conditions (I was looking up a relatively rare neurological condition online today and was amazed at what was available), but peeps have to know where to look for it and there's a lot of miracle-cure crap too.
