This is dangerous. This is really bad idea. You do not want to be taking this drug.

The idea for the card came after a patient shared with me his story of being pulled over for a minor traffic violation and how difficult the experience was because of his communication impairment. He had a brain injury which left him with slurred speech leading the officer to believe he was intoxicated.

Once upon a time we used to write a story about minimizing your lips. Now that would never happen.

The card should eliminate some of the frustration that occurs when an individual who is slow to answer or sounds slightly different needs to interact with someone for the first time.

There are rumors that Hollywood celebrities are using this drug to become very thin, very quickly.

Everyone in Hollywood wants to be thin. It is a sign of achievement. And the tabloids keep constant track of who's the thinnest and what the weight watch is and if you gain a few pounds in Hollywood it's suddenly seen as a crisis.

My heart goes out to them. They've lost their babies, their hopes, their dreams for their futures.
