That’s right. For a few minutes his pulse was flat. Then he “pulled a Lazarus” as he describes it. He was revived and clung to life for a bit with the help of a respirator. When he finally emerged from his coma, he was a changed man. Plato, Pythagoras, and the other ancient Greeks saved him. That’s what he says in his new book, How Plato and Pythagoras Can Save Your Life. A drug addict living the glamorous life, rubbing elbows with the likes of John F. Kennedy, Jr., Tom Cruise, and Brooke Shields, he decided to turn all of his time and energy toward ancient Greek philosophy? Why? Kardaras writes: After my post-coma resurrection, I was desperate to better understand the universe and my purpose within it; I guess that a ne...

The SEC claims Wagner sold the stock after learning during a company conference call with the FDA that the agency planned to delay approval for Nebido, a testosterone replacement drug being developed by the company. In its suit, the SEC claims the call took place on May 30 and that Wagner’s trading occurred over the next few days. Ironically, he allegedly assembled Indevus employees three days later that no trading in Indevus stock should take place because it would violate securities laws. The agency alleges he avoided losses of $43,000 by selling th...

What do you call the women involved? It is a brave new world when parents are more likely to learn curse words from their kids than the other way around. And when “prostitute” appears in the same sentence as “PhD in informatics, epidemiology and forensic science,” as it does in Delia Lloyd’s post on London’s real-life belle de jour Brooke Manganti, well, you have to re-evaluate your vocabulary. I submit that we have a love-hate relationship with prostitution. “Call girl,” “courtesan” and “geisha” imply a bigger price tag, but also an air of r...

Seitel. Three years ago, Mrs. de la Renta and Mr. Rockefeller helped put together the guardianship petition that first accused Mr. Marshall of mistreating his mother.To continue reading go here.

I saw the movie yesterday.I also saw the first TV ad for Latisse starring Brooke Shields last night during a re-run of "Desperate Housewives." Latisse is Allergan's "new" drug approved by the FDA for "hypotrichosis."Hypotrichosis, according to a Wikipedia entry, "is the term dermatologists use to describe a condition of no hair growth. Unlike alopecia, which describes hair loss where formerly there was hair growth, hypotrichosis describes a situation where there wasn't any hair growth in the first place."That, however, is NOT how Allergan describes the condition. According to the "Patient Information" sheet, "Hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enou...

If you are an Alzheimer's sufferer and you don't put you financial affairs in order early on, it could lead to an ugly mess once you are gone.I mentioned before that I get emails about money issues. Where there is money involved their are always issues. The only way to insure this won't lead to a lawsuit and family squabbles is to take care of this issue.It seems to me this trial can serve as a wake up call. I hope it helps.If you would like to learn more about the trial and issues, follow this link,Brooke Astor’s Charitable Giving Is Questioned by Son’s LawyerSubscrib...

I never thought of it this way before but I guess the Alzheimer's Family Feud is more common than I thought.The issues are often about money, and often about criticism. Many time they are about the plight of the caregiver as they get abandoned by family and friends. I wrote about that last week.Well here goes one whopper of a family feud. Anthony Marshall stands accused of defrauding his mother, the socialite and philanthropist Brooke Astor, before her death in 2007.Prosecutors say that Mr Marshall exploited his mother's declining mental state to secure for himself millions of dollars of inheritance that were intended to go to charity.She was reportedly suffering from A...

When Brooke Ryan nursed her 7-month-old son Michael in a booth at a Lexington, Kentucky, Applebee’s, a waitress approached her and asked her to cover up with a blanket. Ryan did not have a blanket with her in the summer heat, but she did have a copy of Kentucky’s breastfeeding law, KRS 211.755. According to Ryan’s description of the incident, when she asked to speak to the manager and showed him the law, he said he was aware of the law, but that customers were complaining about indecent exposure. He repeated a request that she cover up with a blanket. Perhaps he didn’t study... Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=836501 Sat, 01 Sep 2007 13:37:20 +0100 836501
