I haven't the faintest idea.
>2. What is piracatam
"Piracetam", not piracatam. Belongs to the murky group of the so-called
nootropic drugs. They are supposed to somehow improve your brains
functions. Piracetam is very popular in Portugal. It is a lovely,
wonderful, very expensive placebo. Patients love it. For years we have used
the stuff along with saline for stroke patients admitted into A & E. Old
patients can't live without it. It is supposed to delay senile dementia,
for instance. As far as I can see, pts get senile and/or demented just as
usual. Industry reaps big profits out of it. Good news is that side effects
are literally nil. Just as a good placebo should be.
>3. What is the law about Jme and driving
You tell me.
>4. Aren't neurologists bastards. (Not really just feel very upset for him)
No. Just puzzled, as the rest of us. There's nothing like a good placebo to
ease both patient and doctor.
>Any comments gratefully received.
Just one question. What does the "G" stands for? You don't have to
answer... ;-)
