Dispensary Corner 11 May 10
May 11, 2010
IT may actually be true!
A few weeks ago PD wrote a
Dispensary Corner item about an
80-year old Indian man who claimed
to have not eaten in 70 years.
At the time he was taken into a
hospital and placed under
constant video surveillance by a
team of 30 doctors, who also ran
a gamut of tests to discover if he
was telling the truth and if so,
how the process could be replicated.
The results of two weeks of
testing have found that the man,
Prahlad Jani, neither ate, drank
nor went to the toilet in the whole
time he was under surveillance.
Doctors are so far unsure how
the process works, but are
currently in the process of going
through masses of collected data
to better understand it.
TWO nurses have been
suspended from a US hospital
after it was reported that they ran
a makeshift beauty salon for
colleagues in an intensive care
ward for newborns.
According to reports the pair
even gave manicures to doctors
and nurses on top of a neonatal
high-frequency ventilator.
SOMETIMES it’s just best to let it go!
A pharmacy store manager in
the US has been accused of
strangling a shoplifter in a Chicago
CVS Pharmacy over the weekend.
According to reports the
shoplifter Anthony Kyser pocketed
three tubes of toothpaste and
some crayons from the pharmacy
before being chased out and
down into a side alley, where it is
alleged the manager held him in
a chokehold until he passed out
and later died.
A passing police officer saw the
altercation and phoned for backup
reporting a battery in process.
Police are treating the incident
as an accidental homicide and
will not be pressing charges
against the manager.
Witnesses whose apartments
look onto the back alley where the
incident happened told reporters
that this occurrence was not
unusual for CVS employees, as in
the past they have seen them
chase and tackle shoplifters.
