    And when they feel strong, they feel less weak, but on the other hand, when the are weak, they don't feel as strong...

    Or something...

    Didn't we cover this earlier?

    Doris- Yes, but apparently redundancy and stupidity never go out of style.

    Astonishing! I would never have expected such stunning results.

    Of course, whether or not the patient hurts less or just hurts differently is largely dependent upon the cost of the medication... :-)

    You can't look at "this data" because data are pleural. Drives me crazy when I hear that.

    I bet there was a nice looking color chart demonstrating the amazing correlation between pain relief and relief of pain. Some pharmaceutical genius probably got paid the big bucks making the brochure.
