From Warren, KD4GUA:
Sunday we discussed "Medical Marijuana." We barely touched the surface so we will continue with it this coming Sunday. What we have already learned is that marijuana has benefits (like alcohol) but is being abused (like alcohol) and will probably remain in the status quo unless the gov. allows patent rights to derivatives which would provide financial gain to pharma. 14 states have already approved it for "medical" and not "political or social" use. Doctors are afraid to prescribe it because like social drugs once done the entire drug community folllows and that usually means trouble.
We asked for all those who had tried it and we had a a resounding "roger." I guess I was the only one that has retained his cognitive powers (ha ha!). Tune in Sunday, should be fun.

MARCO Grand Rounds for January 24, 2010
From Warren KD4GUA:
New Jersey this week became the 14th state to allow patients with certain diseases to use marijuana to alleviate their pain. Across the U.S. in Los Angeles, the number of medical marijuana stores, now numbering 1,000, will be limited to 70--WHAT IS GOING ON?
This Sunday, we will discuss, "Does Marijuana Qualify as a Medicine?" Should be fun....also who has the answer to the question of the week, "When you look into the mirror after a shower why does the left testicle hang lower than the right?" This might have been the origin of the famous Chinese urologist's name--anyone want to give a guess as to his name?

MARCO Grand Rounds for January 17, 2010
From Warren, KD4GUA,
This Sunday we will discuss Lupus. This is a fuzzy disease that has many questions pertaining to it with very few answers. It is a broad topic but we will attempt to dive in to learn more about this "Wolf" disease (the name comes from the word "wolf.") Tune in should be educational and will help brush away the cobwebs.

MARCO Grand Rounds for January 10, 2010
From Warren KD4GUA:
This Sunday, by request we will discuss "Water on the Brain--or hydrocephalus." (Greek) by request. This condition in newborns is more prevalent than Downs syndrome...also, it is estimated that 50% of all shunts fail within two years requiring further surgery to replace them.
The condition is often mistaken for Parkinson's Disease in the older age group.
Tune in should be fun.
