On the Hospital front the State paper of Arkansas claims many hospitals are doing well under Obamacare and still all the Republicans campaign that they wouldnt have voted for it. Others have asked why we have not solved the war on cancer. Discover magazine had one of the reasons; The Immortal cells of Henrietta Lacks, which I, as a laboratorian, thank every day for their contributions to monoclonal antibodies that took all the test tube procedures out of the lab and put them on convenient slide tests, has also contaminated researchers cell lines from which they test many different cancer bombs (chemicals). Who knows how many useful products didnt make it through testing because sleeper cells THAT YOU CAN NEVER KILL are clouding the interpretation of the results.. If you are testing thyroid cancer cells with a taint of Henrietta Lacks cervical cancer cells, you may have to use such high dosages to kill the plated cells that you believe the cancer drug is too toxic for human use...... you may have lost a thyroid cancer drug that, if it was used on a pure culture of thyroid tissue, would have worked at a much lower dose. Why did it take 50 years to find out? Because modern gene extraction and DNA analysis had to catch up. Lastly, first marijuana reports are mixed. Instead of $62 million taxes garnered, only $42 million came in because people were still going to their doctors to get Medical Marijuana that is taxed at a lower rate as a medicine. THC laced candy was a hotter item than they thought and the worry is, what if little Forrest Gump eats a whole bowl of chocolates? Finally, they are still working out the dosage to be LEGALLY IMPAIRED by THC while driving....... DUH???? .. That is why I like my state of Arkansas to take a back seat to marijuana -- LET COLORADO EXPERIMENT AND LET US NOT MAKE THOSE MISTAKES that they made in the early days of legalization.
