Vicious circle of life!

An 89 year old man was brought to my clinic because he had painful feet, he had to be carried.
Just 2 days ago he was well walking to a local Spanish market, because of the season, people buy local brews...He saw one that could give him "strength and anti-Oxidants".  He bought it rapidly and ended up with brisk diarrhea that completely dehydrated him.  Well with dehydration came renal failure and elevation of Uric Acid which precipitated a gout attack.  He had such pain, he could not walk the poor man...he had to be " handily transported" to our clinic....Poor man did not know that 2 days earlier, in that market, he was changing his life...what we don't know sometimes takes us places!

Here, we are still looking for the genes that brought this about! CRBCM.....
