Double Dosing Smokers
Various therapies can get smokers to quit for awhile. But scientists have put lozenges, patches, chewing gum, sprays, and inhalers to the test -- alone or in combination. Their goal: to find a remedy that'd produce the best long term results.
Every year, it's a weekend of emotional ambiguity marking two medical anniversaries with totally different outcomes.
More recently, a life saving surgery. In the distance, a reminder that one of the few potentially life saving amateur tools in which the public is trained fails 9 of 10 times.
The painful truth is that your best may not be enough to save a loved one. But because they are a loved one, you try... And live with the memory through your Sadderdays.
