then he's gonna have problems with people that play it too much
Considering this "game" is targeted at schizophrenics I doubt anyone is going to be playing it too much. Now getting people to stop trying to destroy the monitor because the voices told them that it had demons inside, yeah, that could be a problem. But playing it too much no, I will give you 5 reasons... 1. Morning is green bicycles on my chair, 2. That shirt is pissing me off because of my dog and (insert long, disjointed schizophrenic rant).
Pharmacies should be banned from hiring physicians due to the conflict of interest inherent in this situation: the physician is probably under a lot of pressure to sell drugs stocked by the pharmacy. If pharmacies really cared about patient health they would recognize that the physical exam component of a medical visit is an integral part of effective medical practice. I just wonder what is going to happen when (not if) someone with a life threatening condition is misdiagnosed and dies because of their "business model".
I wonder if those exercises your physiotherapist asked you to do after the accident, and if that diet the nutritionist asked to you take to lose some weight, shouldn't also be considered "drugs" and require FDA approval. Jesus how can marketing people be allowed to waste taxpayer funds on a bullshit project like this. I'm not saying the program doesn't work (although it might not - they haven't done real clinical studies yet), I am saying however that dragging the FDA into this is completely irrelevant and a marketing ploy at best.
Subcutaneous epinephrine IS indicated in refractory asthma - ie an asthma attack that has not responded to other treatments like inhaled/nebulized salbutamol (albuterol) or ipatropium bromide (atrovent). However if your asthma is that severe, you also need medical attention. The epi-pen is to get you to the hospital alive. Without IV steroids you have a good chance of continuing to have problems once the epinephrine wears off.
Yes epinephrine - in fact anything that can be injected IV can be inserted into the trachea - directly or nebulized. Except bicarbonate which will cause necrosis of the mucus membranes.
Why would you want to administer endotracheal atropine? Epinephrine works on primarily the beta-adrenergic receptors in small doses on the smooth muscle of the bronchioles, causing relaxation of said muscle and thus bronchodilation. Atropine on the other hand works on muscarinic receptors. It probably would decrease the production of mucus, but it certainly would have much greater effects on the heart (where all that blood from the lungs goes right away) increasing the heart rate and oxygen demand from the myocardium suddenly and possibly quite dangerously. I wouldn't want to play with endotracheal atropine unless as an absolute last resort.
But going to the library makes his head hurt! Shit what is it with this younger generation? It's called RESEARCH and it's SUPPOSED to be hard. Not everything is on wikipedia.
As a physician I know that endotracheal epinephrine does have its uses in severe asthma and status asthmaticus - it is the ultimate bronchodilator; however I have never prescribed it or recommended it for daily use. The side effects can be quite severe, including cardiac arrhythmias leading to death. I can't imagine that this stuff was allowed to be on sale without a prescription in the US.
Not to mention it's the perfect excuse all IP's need for regularly performing deep packet inspection, because after all they have to make sure that your content is "lawful".
The reason for the late discovery of this mysterious affliction is the reluctance of astronauts on active service to come forward
Highly relevant in the absence of a manned space program. Also it sums it up pretty well: I want to have millions of government dollars spent on me to train me, house me and feed me, but I would rather pass up a chance at actually doing the job I am supposed to do even though it's likely I will never get a chance to do it again, because 1 out of 3 (less than half) of my colleagues have had eye problems. Yep, that's "the right stuff" right there. Now tell me again why is it you wanted to be an astronaut?
The rest of the world is used to living with less and is used to being poor. It's the Americans (and to some extent the Europeans) that are going to suffer more than anyone else.
How many times do you click on a search link, versus clicking on an ad sense link. Have you ever (intentionally) clicked on an ad sense link? While they may make money selling ads to idiots who think that people actually click on ads, click for click you could say their core is the search engine.
There's more to it than that because many other cultures also consume white rice (eg, latin americans) as a dietary staple and do not have the same MI rate as east asians.

Heh in America (land of the free), possibly. Also add to that list "games_I_don't_like", where "I" is any influential "elected representative".

After about 4 hours you will stop vomiting and get used to it.
Yeah fly American with Boeing 100% Chinese, Korean and Japanese parts!
Using your logic one is a guinea pig on *every* flight, new design or old, fresh off the manufacturing line or in the fleet
Yeah, we call him the "test pilot".
Too funny. Now re-frame this in a paradigm where I have a doctorate and two lesser degrees (including a master's), and you don't.

Solumedrol will take 6 hours to work however, since it deals with the inflammatory stage of asthma and not the bronchospasm.

Discipline, and because things that come easily are seldom retained.

Nothing can be worse than Oracle. Seriously, you want to talk evil companies...
Don't want to know how much that shiny PDF document cost. A billion? Two billion?

Eh, I remember when 64K cost close to $1 million including the cost of a new wing for it. Now get off my lawn.

No wonder the emphasis is on robots.
Yup, the bureaucrat fires everyone else, but never ends up firing himself.

Owned by News Corporation, talks about hacking. Pot, kettle, black.
Looks like it's headed for the Indian Ocean, anyway...
