The procedure I just had was nothing short of gruesome.<br /><br />Anyway, my doc tells me drink lots of water and put lemon in the water, and try to maintain a low sodium diet.

In many areas (e.g., obstetrics) they are also reservoirs of local expertise, offering care as good as, and sometimes better than, the private hospitals.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196490192435827732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305015494502481150.post-33288624841063466932010-06-21T16:29:35.127+08:002010-06-21T16:29:35.127+08:00Yeah for Hong Kong!Yeah for Hong Kong!Sammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315556917692950687noreply@blogger.com
