This is a situation in which it's good to have an internist like Dr. Donna Sweet of Wichita, Kans., for a physician. "We're talking about a study with 32 people," says Sweet, who also chairs the board of the American College of Physicians. "I tell my patients, 'If you've done well on Ambien in the past, you'll continue to do well on Ambien. You're not going to suddenly start eating in your sleep...
Webster Golinkin, CEO of InterFit, dismisses the concern. Half of RediClinic's customers, he says, have no primary-care physician. It's often the clinics that refer such patients to doctors.

...well as cracking down on drug use, the city treats it as a disease--providing free prescription-grade heroin in a research trial and running a medically supervised injection site--while carefully gathering data on the effects of city policies.

Although research has not revealed a particular abundance of nerves surrounding this area, some women will attest to the existence of the G-spot as an erotically sensitive area...
...Cunningham filing offered a rare glimpse of the workings of the Attending Physician's office, headed by an admiral and generally shrouded in a veil of secrecy rivaling that of the CIA. Jon Brandt, spokesman for the House Administration Committee, said congressmen are asked to pay a "recommended annual fee" if they want to see doctors in the Capitol office. He would not reveal the amount, but in 1992 it was reported to be about $275. Brandt says the Attending Physician's referrals are sometimes to private sector doctors and sometimes to military doctors. A Navy spokesman provided a section...
