Ramadan and medication

The British Medical Journal online is a good read - believe it or not. They have some quite radical articles eg. on health care in Gaza etc. What grabbed my attention recently is drug intake during the month of Ramadan. Research shows that in certain countries - yup middle east in particular - a large percentage of people stop taking their medication or take it all in one go etc. All this results in a completely arbitrary use of drugs during ramadan with therapeutic failure. So much for the medical experts who come on TV and espouse the virtues of fasting even to those who are ill. Or so my contacts in Bangladesh tell me.

Read the article here.

Anyway, what do you think of my new hat?

It's quite a smart hat Mr R. Oh forget the anonymity - it's Monsieur. Keep on keepin' on as they say.
