NOT so sporting.
Recently published joint
research by scientists at
Charles Sturt University (CSU)
and the Federal University of
Minas Gerais in Brazil shows
that carbohydrate beverages
as a sport performance
enhancement aid have no
effect, and can be detrimental
in some instances.
The findings were published in
the journal PLOS One, a public
access journal, to liberate the
data for broader scrutiny said
Professor Frank Marino, Head
of the CSU School of Human
Movement Studies in Bathurst -

NOT so great customer service.
Fortunately demonstrating an
exception in dispensing ‘bedside
manner’, a hospital dispensary
in KL allegedly displayed the
ultimate in perhaps things we
might like to say sometimes but
really shouldn’t.
According to FMT News, a
patient prescribed a urinary
alkaliniser called Utix found it
too bitter to swallow.
The patient returned the box
to the hospital pharmacy asking
for an alternative called U-lite.
According to her version
of events, reported by FMT
News, a hospital dispensary
pharmacist threw the box back
at her shouting that if she
wanted U-lite, she should buy it
outside the hospital.
Well that’s good for community
pharmacy business, I suppose.
