According to a statement from the Vatican, however . . .

Dying of a Broken Heart

by duncanr

Researchers at St Andrews University have identified what they call a ‘Widowhood’ effect.

Studying the mortality statistics of 58,000 married couples, they found that 40% of women and 26% of men died within 3 yrs of their partner.

And of that number, 40. died within 10 days of their partner, while 12 died on the anniversary of their partner’s death.

It appears people can and do die of a ‘broken heart’

Russian Ambulance Driver Kills Girl

by duncanr

Somedays it just doesn’t do to get out of bed – especially if you happen to live in Russia !

Three teenage girls walking at the side of the road near Kargosok, a town in the Tomsk region were mown down by a drunken police officer on Tuesday night.

To make maters worse, one of the injured girls was then run over and killed by the ambulance called to the scene (the other two girls are in hospital with head injuries.

This follows a separate incident on Monday night when a 16 yr old girl was run over and killed by another drunken police officer in the Kursk region south of Moscow.

I Spy with my little eye

by duncanr

nothing untoward ?

Hhmmm, not so eagle-eyed cops have been criticized by Mid-Kent and Medway coroner, Roger Sykes, at an inquest into the death of 68 yr old Antoine Denis who was found dead in his flat in Chatham, Kent

Police initially saw nothing suspicious in the manner of his death until the undertakers came to remove the body and asked about the 5” knife stuck in the corpse’s back. And the pool of blood on the bed

Hhmm, probably wanted to avoid all the extra paperwork a murder calls for ?

Your Bra can Kill You

by duncanr

That’s right. There’s a widespread belief apparently that wearing underwired bras can increase a woman’s chance of getting breast cancer.

The theory is that -

‘the bras supposedly squish up your nice little lymphatic system all day long, which causes toxins to accumulate, which leads to cancer’.

The good news, ladies, is that this is nonsense. To find out the truth about this, and other ‘medical myths’ – Click this link http://tinyurl.com/367oj3s

Medical Cock Up

by duncanr

62-year-old Dr Mohan Tharakan of Whitley Bay faces being struck off by the General Medical Council after claims a patient who complained of a sore throat was diagnosed with erectile dysfunction – Jeez, that would kinda want to make you question his medical competence !!!

Turns out there was a bit more to it, however. The doctor hadn’t misdiagnosed the patient. He correctly sent him away with a prescription for some antibiotics. He then entered the erectile dysfunction diagnosis in the patients notes, wrote out a prescription (in the patient’s name) for some tablets to help cure impotency, then trotted down to the chemist to collect the tablets for himself
