Yes exactly. It was mainstream media news at the time, and I've spoken with
a couple of physicians who knew about it, but I cannot cite pinpoint.

Didn't get the , patches (alas). One might hope that anyone would know to
break up these megadoses, but I've met ones who didn't (Mathematician:
"Disproof of general theory by counterexample. Quod erat inveniendum.") It
is the kind of thing that the general public may do, given only a little
technical information. Which as you know is a dangerous thing. ("Drink
