The Flint Street Nativity - 1/7

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 08:18:43 -0800

I saw this wonderful comedy today, and words really can't reflect how toe curlingly, painfully funny this comedy about a British Christmas Infant School nativity play, is. Deeply, darkly, amusing.

Tim Firth's seasonal comedy-drama about the eight-year-old pupils of Flint Street Primary School (all played by adults), who perform the Nativity play for their parents.

The Law, Sir, is an Ass. Well, it is in this case... those of us in the UK who have kidney problems and are lined up for an MRI Scan should seriously sit up and read this.

A healthcare firm, GE Healthcare, a subsidiary of General Electric, is seeking to silence a Danish academic from expressing doubts about one of its products, Omniscan, by using England's draconian libel laws.... Omniscan, which is among a small group of products administered to patients before an MRI scan. It is a so-called 'contrast agent' whose properties enhance the differences between fluids and structures in the body when they appear on scans, making diagnosis easier. To date, it has sold more than 48m doses worldwide, including 620,000 in the UK. Such products sell at about $30 a dose.

There was, however, a problem. A small number of kidney patients injected with Omniscan and other products were falling ill with NSF, a horrific disease that first attacks the skin and can then attack organs.
