NSAID's GI and CV risks



Talk by Dr. Peter Lin yesterday at Tropicana Grand Ballroom.  When choosing a "pain killer" for joint pain we must remember the potential GI side effects like gastric erosions, ulcers and bleeding.  We must also not forget the potential CV risks, like heart attacks and strokes, that come with some COX-2 inhibitors.  Some recommendations are shown in the picture.

My first smart home alarm system destroyed by lightning. It had voice and intercom. Also managed automatic turning on and off lights while away from home.

We used to buy "kueh" from these men.  The delicacies were carried above their heads

The Roti man and his bicycle.  No Coffee Houses like now.  Bread and cakes came on bicycles.

Fresh milk from cows, goats etc.

Crackers, bread, sweets and even some simple games all in a bicycle.  'Ting, ting, ting" the familiar chime.

Kueh and Laksa from this person.  This whole "machine" carried on the shoulders.
