Anyone use homeopathic stuff? Do you think it works?
What about other alternative treatments, like reflexology or acupuncture. Anyone have any experiences with anything like that? Also chinese medicine shops seem to be springing up in all the main shopping centres, has anyone tried any of their remedies?
Try live yoghurt :D
When you take any antibiotic, it destroys all the friendly bacteria too, generally. I agree to have heavier doses for less time is a good idea, but there are a lot of bugs that are now resistant to antibiotics like amoxicillin.
It wouldn’t matter how much amoxicillin you were given, if the bacteria was resistant, it wouldn’t have any effect on it. This is what is happening to these so called super bugs. So what will we do when the drugs don’t work?
Brilliant thread. Love the links.
He couldn’t act though. Anyone remember Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence?

Sorry Pats and Minim but you’re simply wrong on this one
No Fast response staff will go into a situation which is unsafe or potentially unsafe- it is their safety which takes primacy
That is what the rule book says.
His response is probably too rapid to be worthy of comment.
I know I am side tracking a little here, but when a friend’s very elderly mother went into hospital, one of the first questions they were asked was, should we try and resuscitate her. Of course they said they wanted her to be resuscitated and were shocked that they had been asked. This is not euthanasia, they are not ending lives deliberately, but they are letting very seriously ill people die to end their suffering.
People in comas, in a vegetatitive state, on life support have no quality of life, but merely exist as far as we know, but relatives have to apply to a court of law to have the machines switched off. Is that euthanasia or is it again, letting someone die?
What is the difference between letting someone die, and euthanasia in these situations?
So who draws the line then and what illness…cerebral palsy perhaps? ex meningoccal septacaemia children (blind deaf and prones to fits) etc etc- quality of life is nil (according to those on here) so lets just send em of to sleep cos it suages our consciences and makes us feel better cos its the “right thing to do”-
Slayer, the question is one that has been around for a very long time, at what point do you “do the right thing”. And, at the moment, the line is drawn by the legal system in this country. I think it is perfectly acceptable to pose this question, and it will carry on being questioned by the medical profession, and the legal system. It is not going down the route that Hitler posed, you are being extremist.
All life is precious, but I cannot imagine how it must be to watch someone you love suffering day after day after day and not be able to do anything to help.
He just asks the question.
He has a point…. in cases where the child is suffering so badly, at what point would a Court of Law decide to do something to end that suffering?

I went to school with someone who looked like you Pats… did you used to play Hockey for South Yorks?
