...invest in China vs. India, where a court recently rejected the company's attempt to protect a patent on a leukemia drug. "China has made tremendous progress and taken the steps to show they have the right priorities," he says. Or, rather, it's done just what the doctor ordered...
...reason high blood pressure is so diabolical, Ting says, is that it seems so simple to understand. "Every doctor takes blood pressure," says Wong, but very few doctors bother to monitor it on a 24-hour basis to detect dips during sleep or spikes in the first hours after waking.

The dizzy Megan Mullally (of Will and Grace) seems wrong as the doctor's uptight fiancé. Andrea Martin, that SCTV pro, is probably best in show with her funny, full-throated turn as Frau Blucher. Still, Young Frankenstein's one advantage over The Producers is that none of them is irreplaceable...
