breaking medical news

while leafing through the latest CMAJ, I saw a case report of a woman who got a lung infection from doing situps. well thank goodness I have been on situp hiatus for a few weeks now, because they sound dangerous. I am going to have to read this article in detail, as my current fitness routine is in serious limbo at the moment, to say the least.

Mila, my extensive knowledge of Allergy and Immunology allows me to diagnose your episode as Exercised-Induced Anaphylaxis. Not sure if it is case report worthy...but it does sound kind of exotic when you classify it as "Anaphylaxis of Unknown Origin".

mila, there is an anonymous option, you know. strikes me that a jogging rash might be a good time to take advantage of that feature.
