Anyone coming down the A361 for the next two years to sample the delights of Saunton, RND and the other courses in N Devon they are in for a nasty suprise.
Don’t tell me they’ve closed that new bridge and we’re going to have to crawl though Barnstaple at a snails pace again. It always used to make a day trip to Saunton a pain and guaranteed a topped tee shot off the 1st on the East.

Nooe, road widening and roundabouts going in at several junctions between Tiverton and Barnstaple. Who would have thought that it should have been duel carriageway to begin with.

Did you ask the question? I would expect that they would be aware of the blood clot issue, and if they thought it was related, made you an appointment to see a someone poste haste.
I said to the nurse at the time, that it was the first time that that had ever happened [ running out of blood ] :D.
She said she wasn't concerned as it happens quite often.
The doctor got me a chest X-ray appointment on Monday, because I've been getting a bit breathless recently.
I'm also waiting for a heart monitoring appointment.

I now know what " old age doesn't come by it's self " means :eek:.

Denmark has stopped using AZ.

And if they have enough Pfizer to supply their programme, that is reasonable. Denmark was one of the initial couple of countries that reported unusual thrombotic events. They have a rational and apolitical regulator. The debate on this issue moved very fast to comparisons with other risks. Besides not being the point, that line of argument missed one very big question. If there are rare cases of rare but easily recognised events occurring, are there also more cases of more common but less distinguishable (as drug-related effects) such as MI or stroke? That is the iceberg question. I suspect the Danes have been thinking about this and looking at data.

Did I just go through a time warp into the 1970s? Is persimmon back too?
I did hear a Doctor on the television last week saying they had found men taking Viagra had lower rates of heart disease and strokes. He went on to suggest it may help us live longer and enjoy it.

There used to be an advert for that kind of "medicine" before the 4th quarter of every NFL game's coverage on TV. It was priceless. They spent half the advert showing older blokes with younger women and then the other half going through the list of the side effects. One of which was "see your doctor if you have an erection lasting more than four hours". See the doctor? I'd be phoning the Guiness Book of Records. In fact, I'd be round to Kylie's house waving a flag :LOL:

Viagra was first developed as an anti-hypertensive and the effect of interest was a side effect connected to its vasodilative effect on vascular tissue.
