| | Management of Poisoning |
 | | Poisons may cause many changes inside the body that can only be measured using medical equipment. | | | Many young people who try to poison themselves are unhappy because of problems they do not know how to deal with, such as unhappy love affairs or arguments with boyfriends or girlfriends. | | | People who take someone else's medicine may be harmed if they take the wrong dose or take a medicine that is not meant for treating their condition. |

| | The Yushchenko 'Poison Plot' Fraud- by Justin Raimondo |
| | In any case, what is clear at this point is that Yushchenko and his supporters are the ones doing the poisoning – by spreading their lies far and wide, and then calling for a delay in the investigation. | | | The ostensible reason for this is Yushchenko's high-mindedness, expressed with the requisite statesman-like gravitas: | | | In true Orwellian fashion, however, Dr. Wicke has been disappeared, as far as our media is concerned, and Dr. Korpan is now universally referred to as "the physician treating Yushchenko." |
