Some general advice (you might know this already): - low dose aspirin daily (50-100mg), balanced against the risk of some sort of bleed (most likely stomach ulcer) - low dose beta blocker (atenolol 25mg prob enough) daily - low dose ACE-I (ramipril seems best candidate, more likely best drug company-sponsored research spin and all drugs in this class have similar effect) - regular exercise - don't overdo it and injure yourself another way. - be aware of all the possible manifestations of a heart attack (about 1/3 of them are diangosed retrospectively - people who thought they had heartburn / 'colic' / ate something bad) and go the the ER if they happen (assuming you are in the US - have health insurance) - keep your weight down and your central body fat low (waist measurement) - get your GP to check your blood sugar yearly - make sure your cholesterol and blood pressure are known and treated if necessary (some of the above will help the BP) - become a vegetarian - look both ways before crossing the road....

That is sheer and utter nonsense.

I'm not so sure it is nonsense (at least the general principle behind the comment, although the statement itself may be incorrect). The care given in a litigious country (i.e. US) is different from that received in a socialised one. While there are a variety of reasons (including insurance companies) that contribute, I think the worry of litigation is a significant reason for the difference in practice. As a lawyer I expect you are more concerned with the outcome of the lawsuit - but I would rather be sued as few times as possible when each time may have knock on effects on my personal and professional life in terms of stress, job satisfaction, and time away from actual work. Around 98% of cases against the medical profession do not reach a guilty verdict, but that's no help if I lose my marriage and my happiness defending medically correct decisions.

is CO2 equally distributed in the whole atmosphere? If it's not, that could have a significant effect on the conclusions of your calculations.

it shows that the cell phone companies can track a cell phone, or else they need to come clean about the rectal probe and tracking device.

I am an underpaid doctor (not yet finished specialty training). Imagine how pissed off I was when I started having to learn all that shit about the law of Laplace (Young-Laplace equation to you engineering types). And the Hagen-Poiseuille equation. Fortunately after my last round of exams I can now forget it entirely, though often I lie awake at night worrying about my patients' bad outcomes because I never worked out the viscosity.
