    Jeopardy, of all things. I've been around healthcare my whole career and never heard of this, much less the Grinch reference.

      What used to be called "Orthostatic Hypotension" has been acknowledged for a long time. I've known about it since the early 1980s, and I've known a couple of people with it.

      In today's acronym-filled world, to make it easier to say than "Orthostatic Hypertension," it's "POTS." I remember talking to a woman about 20 years ago, and she asked me for my thoughts on HR.

      "HR?" Human Resources? What?

      "Hormone Replacement" for menopause.

      Oh....

      Look at any bunch of drug ads on cable to see what I'm talking about.

      But, all that said, I've never heard the Grinch reference either.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Idiots. They should be grateful for the mention. That’s worth loads to a rare disease advocacy group

        Only non-witches get due process.
