Hiccup whole day

Dr. Miranda Bailey — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 05:27:16 +0800

Waharhar I can't believe I am posting a topic of medical condition here!!
But don't be fooled by the "Dr." title, I'm not a doctor yet...

Well, as the title indicates, I'm having a hiccup the whole day! I drank juices and water till my abdomen distends like a pregnant lady... Hiccup on and off, usually 15-30 minutes for each occurence.

I have googled and wikied; and I dont think I'm quite comfortable using haloperidol or chlorpromazine... and of course some of the alternative treatments won't work for me tho...

Anyone have the same problem before?
How do you resolve this very problem?

Well, I'm gonna see my teacher of internal medicine in class tomorrow regarding this problem... but for now, just pouring my misery here...

Sponsorship from private companies

Dr. Miranda Bailey — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 12:08:39 +0800

I hope this is the right place to start this thread.

I am one of the commitee member of Nizhniy Novgorod State Medical Academy 2008 Intervarsity Games. I would like advices on how to seek sponsorship from private companies for the games. What I heard from the current sponsors is that when private companies sponsor anything related to education of Malaysian students, they can be exempted from certain type of taxes. If that is true:

1. Which part of the written Malaysian business law says so?
2. Which company has high probability to give sponsorship?
3. Which person of the company can be contacted for this purpose?

Please advise.

Urgent call to fixed line Russia

Hi,

I need to make an urgent call to Russia today, fixed line/mobile Malaysia to fixed line Russia. I've heard about iTalk IDD and stuffs like that but I still think it's not much cheaper (RM 4.19) than the Telekom one (RM 5.00).

Please advise.

Thanks in advanced for your help.
