The Late Late Show 23 September 2005

Congratulations, at last someone has highlighted the disastrous state of the health service in Ireland.
I am so delighted to hear that the Late Late Show has highlighted the plight most find themselves in when admitted to hospitals in Ireland. Hopefully at last something might be done to help the vulnerable elderly.

Abuse of the Elderly in Irish hospitals is appalling and someone needs to investigate the hospitals in Ireland and how the elderly are treated immediately.
In Ireland many of our senior citizens are at risk, vulnerable and invisible in the society especially when it comes to care in our hospitals, which our family have seen and encountered during the past 18 months in two of our Co Dublin hospitals. We were disgusted with the treatment of the elderly, which we witnessed.

We really have a lot to learn from the German elections. only one party enjoyed a sizeable increase in its votes and representation, and no-one wants to involve it in government.

Instead the two largest parties who both reduced their votes, and deputies want to be the next government. read full story / add a comment

Australian authorities have warned that pregnant women taking the SSRI Seroxat (paroxetine) are at double the risk of having a birth defect in their unborn child. The Australian regulatory agency, the TGA, has reclassified paroxetine from a grade C to a grade D drug , one that should be avoided during pregnancy.

The new warnings for Paxil and other SSRIs are spelled out as follows: "Details from a preliminary analysis of GlaxoSmithKline data showed a higher incidence of congenital malformations, particularly ventricular septal defects, in babies born to women taking the drug. Babies of women taking paroxetine in the first trimester of pregnancy were 2.2 times more likely to be born with a congenital malformation and 2.08 times more likely to have a cardiovascular malformation than those born to women taking other antidepressants, the data showed. read full story / add a comment
