Welcome to Psychic Medium Tony Green and I am Psychic Medium Tony Green here to give you an hour of entertainment. So let's get started. So the first thing I want to do is let you know first and foremost I will never ever ever reach out to you on any social media or any other way saying that you know book this book that do this do that. I do have an email list if you're on my email list which you can get on on my website. I will do emails but that's completely different than you know somebody popping up on social media. So yes there's that. Okay so I am on Instagram, I am on Facebook, TikTok. TikTok I put my healings on so if you want healings go to TikTok it's at Psychic Tony. They I try to remember to put them on Facebook and Instagram. Sometimes I just don't do that mostly because I just forget but so once I put them on Instagram sometimes then I'm off doing the next thing and forget to go back to that. Okay yeah okay so today I will be taking callers. When I say your area code please let me know your name and where you are calling from and then have a somewhat exact question available or connection the name of a loved one and who relationship. Man my brain is on slow motion today isn't it? Yes it is. Like I almost finished a sentence and then right there it just stops right there just what was the rest of that sentence? Oh no must not have been important. So okay I want to thank everybody online today that is joining us live on YouTube. Mimi you're so sweet thank you for that. Rebecca and thank you Rebecca, thank you Amy and thank you thank you they're they're online wishing me happy birthday because this Friday I think it's Friday it's my birthday. Hey Patrick how are you? Thank you Patrick. I'm gonna be okay so I'm gonna be starting the show in a second and so the way the show works for those of you who are new sometimes in the beginning of the show if I have if I if I'm hearing songs or I have loved ones coming through I'll say their name or whatever name they're giving me that might be your name that could be their name it could be a name of somebody that you both know and then if I hear a song it could be a song they loved you loved or reminds you of them or answers a question for you okay so the first song I'm hearing this morning and I think it's by Katy Perry we're going there folks that song that goes in another life yeah I'm not a big I'm not a huge fan of that artist it's not like I rarely ever listen to that music so I think it's her but that's in another life or in another world something like that I think if you know if you know the song you know what it's for you okay and then I keep hearing this every single time and I think it's for Cindy thank thank god for unanswered prayers that song yeah and then the next one yeah in another life Ann is saying it's in another life thank you Ann and then the next song I'm hearing and I love this artist he just makes me smile and laugh all the time like whenever his songs come on which is very rarely like I just it just takes me someplace else um his Snoop Dog and then you're drop it like it's hot drop it like it's hot drop it like it's hot whenever he's trying to get it you drop it like it's hot I love him he just makes me happy his music makes me happy um his little beats and such make me happy okay so that's the third song I'm hearing and then I I'm oh no you did not this one just just in my friends just in my friends Jeremiah was a bullfrog don't don't was a good friend my never something something but I helped him drink his one joy to the world oh my god see they start singing and I'm going word by word of the words I can pick up and then once I get to the main verse I'm like oh that's where we're going with this and I think that's not I think that's what that's on jump to the world I'm not going to try to sing though I would sit here and try to sing the whole song to make sure it's right but that cracks me up Jeremiah was a bull I don't think it's Jeremiah was a bullfrog does anybody know is that the opening line to that song now that I'm listening back in my head I'm like anyway if that's your song you're gonna know that's your song you're just gonna know oh that's my song okay and then the names I'm hearing on the other side are actually um Jeremy not Jeremiah but Jeremy Jeremy is on the other side and then the the next person that we have coming through okay so the next person we have coming through I think it's for a listener I don't this could be the person's name but it could be for the somebody who listens to my show because it comes through almost every show Maria and then the next oh the next name I'm hearing is Charlotte and I had an aunt Charlotte and I just adored her I loved her and I tell you guys something my mom who is in heaven now um she used to keep me home from school on some Fridays and we used to go by my aunt Charlotte and my uncle Weebie that's what we call him but his name was UB we used to go by their house and play poker I was I was kind of young right I was I was a little bit young at the time I mean not way too young but pretty young and not like five or six I was you know junior high high school age and I used to love that more than you can imagine and I'm so like people would say oh my god how could she do that those are some of my greatest memories and let's all face it I was never going to be a scholar I wasn't missing much of home school but we used to go there and play poker cards and my uncle was such a serious poker player I just oh my gosh I miss them also very very much I do I miss them tremendously oh what we wouldn't give for one more day right just one more day one more hour to sit and say all the things they hear us think anyway right but I I do want to thank my aunt and my uncle for those Friday afternoons because they were awesome they were some of the best actually those are some of my best childhood memories believe it or not there's some of my best childhood memories were going to my aunt and uncle's house with my mom and playing poker and the the ridiculous thing is my aunt used to give me soda and potato chips and M&Ms and I used to love it so much I mean I would just be so excited to have that because my mom didn't keep a lot of junk in the house right so when I would go there and have the soda and the the salty potato chips with the chocolate you girlies know what I'm talking about right now you do know what I'm talking about girlies and I love it and I still to this day anybody says let's play poker I'm like let's go I might not remember the games I might not remember how to play all of them but I'm like let's go let's play come on get the cards are we playing with real money oh good okay fake money's better um but yeah it was it was so much fun it was so much fun okay back to the show um and then here comes the next song um this is a really old song and I know one of the lines in it they're giving me one of the lines is back to the hotel um I know this song it's like one of the first rap songs or one of the first like hip-hop rap songs I don't know oh my gosh it'll come it probably won't come to me so if anybody knows what that song is please put it in and then the other one was a salt this morning I was hearing salt and pepper not push it but a different song by there so if you're a big salt and pepper fan or they were a big salt and pepper fan please bring it on in um and then um Tina Turner oh Tina this just came in Tina Turner um what's love got to do with that is coming through right now so whoever that's for I think I I feel like I should be saying I'm sorry right now what's love got to do with it by Tina Turner and I was working on names but now they're flooding me with songs again so the next thing um salt and pepper shoot that is the song that is that is the song shoot to be do yeah maybe yeah so okay okay um let's I think that's the song Patrick yes um okay I I feel like I need to get to callers and they're just here with their names and like all over here and a couple over here there's someone behind me that I wish would move get out of get get out I don't I don't care where I am even in a restaurant I don't like people behind me like it's like get get get get scoot skat scoot skat okay I'm gonna go to questions it's time to go to questions um and I am going to uh be oh okay Kate corrected me it's not Jeremiah was a bullfrog is it bulldog Jeremiah was bulldog whatever Jeremiah was he was a great friend of this guy's was a good friend of mine never cared too much about something something something but I helped him drink his wine and I think it's joy to the world so let's onto a fact check on that song and see what we come up with okay okay okay okay okay okay okay thank you Kate for correcting that all righty I am um going to go to the first caller and I want to let people on YouTube know that if I don't get to your question during the show I've been answering it after the show I've just been tippy-tapping that answer in there for you so just so you know okay the first caller sorry about sorry about racking the screen I'm trying to shake up my smoothie and and it like racked the whole thing I'm so sorry about that we're gonna go to 312 312 what's your name and where are you calling from hello hi my name is um Brian I'm calling on Chicago how you doing today hey Brian I'm doing good how are you oh wonderful okay so Brian calling because yeah go ahead go ahead I'm sorry no no go I was just gonna say as soon as you got on the phone that song that that verse came back in and and and and and that back back to the hotel I as soon as you said this is Brian I heard that again I'm like oh that song might be for him okay I'm so sorry go ahead Brian be good yes I was calling because I had an interview today outside of the company that I met today and I have another interview on Monday and both of those are for the same position of leadership I just want to know how do you see my chances in both Monday is going to go really good when you said I have another interview on Monday I heard that's it that's it so whatever that means whatever this interview is on Monday that's going to propel you um and I always say this to everyone even if they say that's it keep putting stuff out there keep looking keep um keep um yeah keep looking and keep applying to places because you might be surprised at what else comes in I say that to everyone um what I'm also hearing for you Brian is in your I'm so sorry everybody excuse me in your desired area that you want to be in go to the websites of the company that you want to work for and see if they have any positions you are wanting even though I think Monday is going to be it and it's going to be really good it might be interesting to see what else is out there and again Brian I'm hearing for you for you I'm a little I'm hearing this for you again there is something coming in that you're going to also be able to do on the side do not pass it up do not pass it up whatever's coming in that you will be able to do on the side do not pass it up whether it's the speaking thing and that might not be the first thing you do on the side there's an opportunity that is coming to you it's not a full-time day job the position you're looking for there's another thing coming to you that you're going to be able to do on the side entrepreneurial type of thing that is going to be able to help you out a lot and lead you into something brand new and different eventually okay so whatever this is is this something he starts off like his own company and builds it up no I feel like it's already something in existence but I do feel like you're going to have the opportunity to be a part of it so if I were using examples I'm not saying this is it the Monday's good they just say for Monday's interview that's it I feel like that's good I always tell everybody keep looking just get just in case you get there and you don't like it I mean getting the job as part of it getting in there and loving it is another thing but I always tell everybody keep looking because you want that energy and that momentum to keep going it's um one of those things but there's also another thing coming in on top of that that's going to bring you I don't they're saying instant gratification whatever that means so what it's okay I'm going to give you a couple of different really weird examples now this isn't about the full-time job thing this is a side thing that I'm talking about right now so there's a couple of side things that I've been involved with one of them is the bio mat as soon as I laid down on this thing as soon as I laid down on it let me tell you I could feel and I obviously feel energy very easily but as soon as I laid down on it it felt like bubbles were popping in my energy in my energy field I can't even explain that how do we even feel that and then I could just feel so much going on in my body on this thing I instantly looked at the woman barb and I said barb I need one of these do you sell them and she started laughing she's like of course I do I go can I sell them and she's like yes because I knew in that moment of laying on this if this is doing this for me it'll do it for other people and I I need this and I need to share it with others so it's going to be something like that for you and I'm not saying it's multi-level I feel like it might be an opportunity I don't know with somebody who comes who is like a someone you might know or know of maybe they're already involved in something but I feel like there might be a a storefront sort of thing I don't know if this is something like and I'm not saying it's this I know you're talking oh you do know what I'm talking oh my gosh thank you because I'm like ready to to to commit this whole show to figuring this out for you so I'm so happy well they're saying don't miss this opportunity whatever it is grow with it um and and and be be a little and whatever it means for you for this be a little bit aggressive about it okay so once you get into it don't be afraid to if it's if it has a thing about like marketing or telling people about it be a little bit aggressive about it okay that's that's what they're saying for you so um I'm going to leave that there Monday's gonna go really well you're gonna now that now that they have the message about the side thing now they're gonna say Monday's gonna go really well you're gonna be really happy with it keep seeking out other opportunities um for the next month no matter what happens with Monday they just want you to keep seeking out other opportunities for the next month I don't know if that has to do with the side thing or no just keep seeking out opportunities for the next month so you know this is the right one for you okay okay excellent thank you so much Brian thank you for calling I hope you have an amazing rest of the day and I look forward to talking with you again okay you to take care you too thank you okay you guys I just want to for those of you who are new or me have forgotten sometimes my words are a little stumbly I'm still recovering from the concussion when I normally want even when I when I channel or when I talk I never have that issue but please be patient if I am like having a little bit of an issue finding a word or whatever it is like that right there just please or finishing a sentence please be patient and allow that to um just work its way out it eventually either a different word will be sent to me or something okay I'm gonna go to the next caller 920 920 what's your name and where are you calling from and from Howard Wisconsin hey Dawn oh my goodness Dawn how are you good good good how can I help you today love I'm wondering if Greg has any comments or messages for me regarding what's going on yeah the first thing I hear is be patient go slow so both of those things are saying to me don't rush into anything make sure it's the right move at the right time for you don't feel like you need to do something just to do it take your time um and don't push don't try to push for an outcome just allow everything to flow smoothly and to be where it needs to be okay don't let okay don't let don't feel don't put pressure on yourself is what I'm hearing okay sweetie and allow allow okay I'm just hearing it's time for you to adjust allow things to just simply happen if you can if you open and be in that space where whatever is going to happen is going to happen I'm just going to sit here and basically let it happen that's where also start I hear the word planning and I hear plan planning for the future and two things come in the first thing oh Greg oh my goodness okay um what did he say the first thing is he did everything he could to plan for the future for you to make sure that you were set up for the future that everything was in place okay second okay the second thing is planning for the future and start to plan travel you don't have to travel now through the summer but when uh fall into winter or especially that january time have some trips put together he's also saying michelle michelle michelle um michelle michelle needs you like in some way like maybe excuse me I'm so sorry everybody maybe not your physical presence right now but she does need that michelle needs needs your needs you like she needs that connection so don't think so not that you would because I know you have a very kind and gentle heart but she needs that connection that verbal verbal verbalization with you and that you and that you too are bonded in a very special way regardless of everything else and don't um I know you would never take that for granted but don't think it's because of anything else other than you okay and then the last the last message or for right now the next thing that he is saying to uh that's not what I thought he was going to say something else um he loves you he loves you he loves you always did always will you were the one that was it um wow and so just so you know that and but the other thing is don't be afraid to spread your wings and fly to get out to go to enjoy this world to have that time and that space to to just see things and don't be afraid if somebody's traveling to say hey do you mean hey um is this a like let's just say for example a couple is traveling but they're going someplace that you might you know you might think hey that would be a cool place to to visit um say hey is this a personal trip for the two of you is it sentimental is it romantic would you like a third or and a fourth or um or do you guys just want to go along alone don't be afraid to politely invite yourself um everybody would love to have you travel with them everybody would love to have you travel with them okay so don't think that if you ask it's um going to be taken the wrong way and I am going to tell you that even if you set something up and you say hey I'm going I'm thinking about going here who who would want to go people will jump on and they will never look at you as a third wheel they will always want you there um and so that is what he is saying and he loves you he loves you he loves you he loves you okay sweetie pie okay thank you you are so welcome yeah all right thank you very much for your time take care you too thank you my love and we will chat again soon okay okay okay okay bye bye Tony bye bye um I'm going to answer a youtube question oh Patrick Jeremiah was a bullfrog was a good friend of mine never understood a single word he said yes that's those but I helped him drink his wine um um and he always had some mighty fine wine boy every week they pull out a song somebody told me like on Monday they pulled out working in a something and I couldn't get the words and somebody said it's coal mine working in a coal mine something something something whatever so it was that was the song on Monday I couldn't get the all of the words too so um thank you mayors for the birthday wishes I very much appreciate that hey shut up beam and Kathy and mayors thank you for joining the show so happy you guys are here um okay oh I'm gonna go to is there a question Nancy I think Nancy has a question yep do you see dance Nancy Nancy wants to know do you see me meeting like-minded people and perhaps a significant companion um after making my move to Oklahoma oh thank you um yes yes pay it when okay Nancy when you move to Oklahoma pay attention to the areas that you're going into so here's the way I try to say it to people when you go into an area if you feel the same that's the energy you're at right now if you feel better that's a higher energy and you want to strive towards that if you feel like guarded weird or you notice your energy is a little off that's a lower or a different energy vibe than you're on what your normal energy is so you want to go back to an area and it's the same with jobs and everything else everything so you want to go back to an area where you feel like you or better that's always the goal when you're looking for a place work whatever it is and you walk in see the way you feel so how does this feel do I feel more upbeat and is this me feeling upbeat or is this the energy of the place that's making me feel upbeat always when you're looking for a place to live go to the center the very center of the home and in the center of the home you will be able to feel the energy and put your hand to the left the right or north south east and west and see how you feel and my telltale sign with homes is always walk in the basement I do not care if it's an apartment building if it's a duplex if it's whatever it is walk in that basement and walk to the back of that basement if it does not feel good to you do not move in do not move in I don't care just keep it pushing next cross this one off the list next there's not enough holy water for some places that's all I'm saying that's all I'm saying there's just not enough holy water for some places I wish I was joking I wish I was joking okay if you'd like to call in and ask a question or connect with a loved one on the other side the number is<PHONE_NUMBER> if you want to ask a question please push the one button so that your hand goes up and I know you want to ask a question okay excellent I am going to go to the next caller who is 262 I think I know who this is hey 262 hey how are you good how are you good good good excellent what's up today Amy what you want what you need as a friend proposed a business idea to me if that's a lucrative idea or how it's gonna work out or anything any feedback at all yes it's lucrative it will be lucrative if that's if that's the one question you have yes it will be lucrative uh the only thing that I'm getting on this is make sure everybody's boundaries are intact and that you all know your roles in this remember no matter okay and sometimes how lucrative something is depends on how you feel about it and how much energy you put into it and how you present it but I'm hearing it will be very lucrative if that's your one question it will be lucrative um but again it'll be friends at the end yeah I do you know it as long as you both like here's what I say anytime you go into business with somebody and it's a like a business business know your role and don't step over that yeah don't start picking up on you know if I'm a business it's like relationships and businesses can follow kind of the same guideline and here it is know your role do your role make sure the other person knows their roles and let them do them don't start picking up their jobs or what they're supposed to do or letting them slack off um especially in a business thing because once you do it the first time then then they're thinking oh well now she's gonna do that I'm gonna let her know your role keep your boundaries tight and keep moving with that if you don't know your roles in the beginning it's really tough lessons learning who's doing what and where it's going um those beginning business decisions always depend upon um those those beginning business decisions and how smooth it goes depends upon how much communication you put into it prior to starting and you know having the same what is that ideas about uh promotion and moving forward and stuff those are really big important things and there is a thing that companies do called ab advertising like they send out two advertising campaigns to see which one works the best so if you and this person are promoting a product or advertising and you both have an idea say okay you know what here's what we're gonna do I'm gonna send out mine you send out yours and we'll see what where where it goes and we might do that through the whole thing you promote your way I'll promote my way you market your way I'll market my way if one of us gets better results or you know we'll share what's working and what's not but just communicate prior to it so that you can get into that space where you are having good good results and you're not being like oh she wants to do it this way and it has to be that it doesn't you can both do it okay so just make sure of that and have really healthy boundaries but it will be lucrative and I do feel like everybody has the best intentions going in so you don't have to worry about somebody's trying to take advantage of somebody's trying to do this just use good communication skills write things out before you blurt them out that's always really important too okay awesome thank you I'm excited now yeah go for it you know go for it night and I I know in the loop I was just gonna say that please like you know later on let me know what this is I'll be consulting you too whether he whether or not the other person consults you I'll be consulting yourself I love that we'll be setting up the times I love that and I'll be I'll be here for you and as you know spirit loves to good give good consulting advice so it will be awesome okay that's right excellent thank you're welcome Amy you're welcome okay I want to say hey to um hey bond thank you Elizabeth is here hi Tony what do you see for my financial future um okay um Elizabeth over the next month it's going to be a little bit choppy or rocky up and down and I think they're talking about June because well this is the last day of May it's going to be um choppy or blocky now Elizabeth I do want to say this I feel like you're already seeking out or looking for another revenue or a way to bring in more revenue and if you could just comment below confirming A you're still here and I'm on the right track with this if you're not seeking out another form of revenue please do that um and I feel like you are seeking out a way to either bring in more revenue or yeah a way to bring in more revenue and I'm going to say you're going to find it within the month of June as long as you keep seeking and I'm going to encourage you to ride that wave and they're literally showing me a big huge wave and like someone like on a surfboard on the wave um okay yeah okay yeah okay I would say personally this is what I'm going to say depending on so Elizabeth everybody Elizabeth just said I've been looking to invest my money in real estate or online business real estate real estate I'm going to say July or August is when you are going to find the first ideal investment and then after that it will keep going now here's what I'm going to say to you be open to something that might be a little bit further out so a lot of times people want properties and this is not only for you for anybody listening that wants to invest a lot of times people want properties like they think this is the city I live in I want it to be right within my city for whatever reason if you go a little bit further out like where I live is here and then a little further out like maybe an hour away or so is a little area called Waterford and most of the house is like they're a little you know are pretty whatever but if you can find one that somebody hasn't updated you can get it for an amazing price near water and from there you go okay from there you just go don't worry if it's a little bit away from you and out a little bit further that's actually what you're going to want in this situation and it is going to be the best thing for you make sure it's a good price we can always fix things up and if we get in here and we fix it up and it goes to here that's what we want we don't want to get in here and then have to wait for the market to determine that the price goes up we want to get in low and you know get it up on our own so just make sure you're doing that okay sweetie that is what they're saying to me and I don't know why I'm seeing this for you Elizabeth if you go a little further out and you get into I don't know if you're looking at the possibility of multiple units like two houses versus one house or I'm seeing for some reason I'm seeing like a four plex and I feel like if you go further out you're going to find a really good deal on a four plex and I don't know that that's a fact or that's even what you're looking for but if if if you're open to that they're saying look at that go a little further out of your area um to where not a lot of people it's not very populated and not a lot of people are desiring that area yet and then you're going to find a really good investment opportunity in a multiple living unit and and Elizabeth says um she is uh yes I'm looking for single families and multi units and Elizabeth if you tell me um I we can talk a little bit if you live in Wisconsin what part of Wisconsin I might be stay out of Chicago stay out of Illinois for sure stay out of Illinois um if you tell me what part of Wisconsin I might be able to help you out to narrow down the area but I think you're going to have to look and you're going to have to feel it hey Heather how are you today okay I am going to go to the next caller and Heather I'll get to your question and then first name last name I will get to your question 914 914 what's your name and where are you calling from Catherine how are you good how can I help you today early birthday um thank you you are amazing so thank you for being you and yes yeah happy plus year ahead I was wondering please I um I'm having a party on the 16th of June and I was wondering if you see it being well attended if Adrienne might show up anything at all you pick up around it I really appreciate it I do feel like it will be well attended I feel like it will be a really good event um as far as Adrienne goes that's undecided at this point um I want you what what um spirit or your angels are saying is take your focus off of that right and plan the party as if don't worry about the Adrienne aspect of this just plan the party the way you want it to be but not with this focal point or worrying about this person and you're going to have the best party and energy and everything and don't have any expectations of anything um because we don't want that disappointment especially when we have other guests there is what I'm hearing now the one thing I am saying I am hearing when they say when you say well attended I want to explain what your angels mean by well attended versus what you might mean by well attended your angels are saying that for them well attended means the right people will show up meaning maybe not everybody on the list shows up but the right people are going to show up and here's the thing look at where the moon is when this party is taking place because if we're holding a party uh on or near a full moon for example we don't want everybody and their brother showing up because full moons make people act a little different okay they might indulge a little more they might be out of their element a little more they might do and say things they normally wouldn't do um but the right people showing up like you can have the greatest get together with four people or ten six people over having a lot of people and having it be chaotic and feeling very um uh out of out of control of the situation not out of control of the situation but like you're not there's not enough of you to go around so what I'm going to say is when they say it's well attended the right people are going to show up the perfect people are going to show up and it's just going to be the greatest ambiance and it's going to flow perfectly so whoever shows up is meant to be there and it will be very good and if it is around that full moon time which I think two weeks from now is close to the full moon moon time it might be right after it if it is around that I could be wrong if it is around that please make sure that you are um also planning a little bit for that too um in whatever way you could I don't even know you can plan for that but there's you know that is that is that is what they're saying to me okay sweetie so had to let you know you were correct in the beginning when you were talking about Tina Turner um I that resonated with me too I I used to love that song and I had an aunt pass so when you said Tina Turner and I'm sorry um that I feel that was for me so it just had to let you know oh my gosh thank you so much thank you so so much I'm so grateful that that did resonate for you and that you um felt that and hello from heaven right hello from heaven is all

Chapter 11 Part 2 and Chapter 12 of Something New. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org. Something New by P. G. Woodhouse. Chapter 11 Part 2 Freddie was not the only person who had found the influx of visitors into the sick room a source of irritation. The fact that the invalid seemed unable to get a moment to himself had annoyed Ash considerably. For some little time he had hung about the passage in which Freddie's room was situated, full of enterprise, but unable to make a forward move owing to the throng of sympathizers. What he had to say to the sufferer could not be said in the presence of a third party. Freddie's sensation on perceiving him was one of relief. He had been half afraid it was the bishop. He recognized Ash as the valet chap who had helped him to bed on the occasion of his accident. It might be that he had come in a respectful way to make inquiries, but he was not likely to stop long. He nodded and went on reading, and then, glancing up, he perceived Ash standing beside the bed fixing him with a piercing stare. The honorable Freddie hated piercing stares. One of the reasons why he objected to being left alone with his future father-in-law, Mr. J. Preston Peters, was that nature had given the millionaire a penetrating pair of eyes, and the stress of business life in New York had developed in him a habit of boring holes in people with them. A young man had to have a stronger nerve and a clearer conscience than the honorable Freddie to enjoy a tate-a-tate with Mr. Peters. Though he accepted Aileen's father as a necessary evil and recognized that his position entitled him to look at people as sharply as he liked whatever their feelings, he would be hanged if he was going to extend this privilege to Mr. Peters' valet. This man standing beside him was giving him a look that seemed to his sensitive imagination to have been fired red-hot from a gun, and this annoyed and exasperated Freddie. What do you want? he said quarrelously. What are you staring at me like that for? Ash sat down, leaned his elbows on the bed, and applied the look again from a lower elevation. Ah, he said. Whatever may have been Ash's defects, so far as the handling of the inductive reasoning side of Gridley Quayle's character was concerned, there was one scene in each of his stories in which he never failed. That was the scene in the last chapter where Quayle, confronting his quarry, unmasked him. Quayle might have floundered in the earlier part of the story, but in his big scene he was exactly right. He was curt, crisp, and mercilessly compelling. Ash, rehearsing this interview in the passage before his entry, had decided that he could hardly do better than model himself on the detective, so he began to be curt, crisp, and mercilessly compelling to Freddie, and after the first few sentences he had that youth gasping for air. I will tell you, he said. If you can spare me a few moments of your valuable time, I will put the facts before you. Yes, press that bell if you wish, and I will put them before witnesses. Lord Emsworth will no doubt be pleased to learn that his son, whom he trusted, is a thief. Freddie's hand fell limply. The bell remained untouched. His mouth opened to its fullest extent. In the midst of his panic he had a curious feeling that he had heard or read that last sentence somewhere before. Then he remembered. Those very words occurred in Gridley Quayle Investigator, the adventure of the Blue Ruby. What, what do you mean, he stammered? I will tell you what I mean. On Saturday night a valuable scarab was stolen from Lord Emsworth's private museum. The case was put into my hands. Great, Scott, are you a detective? Ah, said Ash. Life, as many a worthy writer has pointed out, is full of ironies. It seemed to Freddie that here was a supreme example of this fact. All these years he had wanted to meet a detective, and now that his wish had been gratified the detective was detecting him. The case, continued Ash severely, was placed in my hands. I investigated it. I discovered that you were in urgent and immediate need of money. How on earth did you do that? Ah, said Ash. I further discovered that you were in communication with an individual named Jones. Good Lord, how? Ash smiled quietly. Yesterday I had a talk with this man Jones who was staying in market blandings. Why is he staying in market blandings? Because he had a reason for keeping in touch with you, because you were about to transfer to his care something you could get possession of, but which only he could dispose of, the scarab. The Honorable Freddie was beyond speech. He made no comment on this statement. Ash continued. I interviewed this man Jones. I said to him, I am in the Honorable Frederick Threepwood's confidence. I know everything. Have you any instructions for me? He replied, what do you know? I answered, I know that the Honorable Frederick Threepwood has something he wishes to hand to you, but which he has been unable to hand to you owing to having had an accident and being confined to his room. He then told me to tell you to let him have the scarab by messenger. Freddie pulled himself together with an effort. He was in sore straits, but he saw one last chance. Researches in detective fiction had given him the knowledge that detectives occasionally relaxed their austerity when dealing with a deserving case. Even gridly quail could sometimes be softened by a hard luck story. Freddie could recall half a dozen times when a detected criminal had been spared by him because he had done it all from the best motives. He determined to throw himself on Ash's mercy. I say, you know, he said ingratiatingly. I think it's badly marvelous the way you've deduced everything and so on. Well, but I believe you would chuck it if you heard my side of the case. I know your side of the case.  You are not. Miss Valentine has destroyed the letters. She told the man Jones so when he went to see her in London. Put your 500 pounds and is trying to get another thousand out of you under false pretenses. What? You can't be right. I am always right. You must be mistaken. I am never mistaken. But how do you know? I have my sources of information. She isn't going to sue me for breach of promise. She never had any intention of doing so. The honorable Freddie sank back on the pillows. Good egg, he said with fervor, he beamed happily. This, he observed, is a bit of all right. For a space relief held him dumb.  I say, you don't mean to say that that Rotter Jones was such a Rotter as to do a Rotten thing like that. I do, Freddie grew plaintive. I trusted that man, he said. I jolly well trusted him absolutely. I know, said Ash, there is one born every minute. But the things seem to be filtering slowly into Freddie's intelligence. What I mean to say is I thought he was such a good chap. My short acquaintance with Mr. Jones, said Ash, leads me to think that he probably is to himself. I won't have anything more to do with him. I shouldn't dash it. I'll tell you what I'll do. The very next time I meet the blighter, I'll cut him dead, I will. The Rotter 500 quid he's had off me for nothing. And if it hadn't been for you, he'd have had another thousand. I'm beginning to think that my old governor wasn't so far wrong when he used to curse me for going around with Jones and the rest of that crowd. He knew a bit by Gad. While I'm through with them, if the governor ever lets me go to London again, I won't have anything to do with them. I'll jolly well cut the whole bunch. And to think that if it hadn't been for you, never mind that, said Ash, give me the scarab. Where is it? What are you going to do with it? Restore it to its rightful owner. Are you going to give me away to the governor? I am not. It strikes me, said Freddie, gratefully, that you are a dashed good sort. You seem to me to have the making of an absolute topper. It's under the mattress. I had it on me when I fell downstairs and I had to shove it in there. Ash drew it out. He stood looking at it, absorbed. He could hardly believe his quest was at an end and that a small fortune lay in the palm of his hand. Freddie was eyeing him, admiringly. You know, he said, I've always wanted to meet a detective. What beats me is how you chapies find out things. We have our methods. I believe you.  What first puts you on my track? That, said Ash, would take too long to explain. Of course I had to do some tense inductive reasoning, but I cannot trace every link in the chain for you. It would be tedious. Not to me, some other time. I say, I wonder whether you've ever read any of these things, these gridly quail stories. I know them by heart. With the scarab safely in his pocket, Ash could contemplate the brightly colored volume the other extended toward him without active repulsion. Already he was beginning to feel a sort of sentiment for the depressing quail, as something that had once formed part of his life. Do you read these things? I should say not. I write them. There are certain supreme moments that cannot be adequately described.  He shot up from the pillows and gaped at Ash. You write them? You don't mean write them? Yes. Great, Scott! He would have gone on doubtless to say more, but at this moment voices made themselves heard outside the door. There was a movement of feet. Then the door opened and a small procession entered. It was headed by the Earl of Emsworth. Following him came Mr. Peters, and in the wake of the millionaire were Colonel Horace Mant and the efficient Baxter. They filed into the room and stood by the bedside. Ash seized the opportunity to slip out. Freddie glanced at the deputation without interest. His mind was occupied with other matters. He supposed they had come to inquire after his ankle, and he was mildly thankful that they had come in a body instead of one by one. The deputation grouped itself about the bed and shuffled its feet. There was an atmosphere of awkwardness. Er, Frederick, said Lord Emsworth, Freddie, my boy. Mr. Peters fiddled dumbly with the coverlet. Colonel Mant cleared his throat. The efficient Baxter scowled. Er, Freddie, my dear boy, I fear we have a painful task to perform. The words struck straight home at the honorable Freddie's guilty conscience. Had they too tracked him down? And was he now to be accused of having stolen that infernal scarab? A wave of relief swept over him as he realized that he had got rid of the thing. A decent chappy like that detective would not give him away. All he had to do was to keep his head and stick to stout denial. That was the game, stout denial. I don't know what you mean, he said defensively. Of course you don't dash it, said Colonel Mant. We're coming to that. And I should like to begin by saying that though in a sense it was my fault, I failed to see how I could have acted horus. Oh, very well, I was only trying to explain. Lord Emsworth adjusted his ponsne and sought inspiration from the wallpaper. Freddie, my boy, he began. We have a somewhat unpleasant, a somewhat disturbing... We are compelled to break it to you. We are almost pained and astounded and the efficient Baxter spoke. It was plain he was in a bad temper. Miss Peters, he snapped, has eloped with your friend Emerson. Lord Emsworth breathed a sigh of relief. Exactly, Baxter, precisely. You have put the thing in a nutshell. Really, my dear fellow, you are invaluable. All eyes searched Freddie's face for signs of uncontrollable emotion. The deputation waited anxiously for his first grief-stricken cry. A what, said Freddie? It is quite true, Freddie, my dear boy. She went to London with him on the 1050. And if I had not been forcibly restrained, said Baxter acidly, casting a vindictive look at Colonel Mant, I could have prevented it. Colonel Mant cleared his throat again and put a hand to his moustache. I'm afraid that is true, Freddie. It was a most unfortunate misunderstanding. I'll tell you how it happened. I chanced to be at the station, bookstall, when the train came in. Mr. Baxter was also in the station. The train pulled up and this young fellow Emerson got in. Said goodbye to us, don't you know, and got in. Just as the train was about to start, Miss Peters, exclaiming, George, dear, I'm going with you. Dash it. Or some such speech. Proceeded to go hell for leather to the door of young Emerson's compartment. On which, on which, interrupted Baxter, I made a spring to try and catch her. Apart from any other consideration, the train was already moving and Miss Peters ran considerable risk of injury.  After I had recovered from the shock, which was not immediately, I found. The fact is, Freddie, my boy, the Colonel went on. I acted under a misapprehension. Nobody can be sorry or for the mistake than I. But recent events in this house had left me with the impression that Mr. Baxter here was not quite responsible for his actions. Overwork or something, I imagined. I have seen it happen so often in India, don't you know, where fellows run amok and kick up the deuce's own delight? I am bound to admit that I have been watching Mr. Baxter rather closely lately than the expectation that something of this very kind might happen. Of course, I now realize my mistake and I have apologized. Apologized humbly, dash it. But at the moment, I was firmly under the impression that our friend here had an attack of some kind and was about to inflict injuries on Miss Peters. If I've seen it happen once in India, I've seen it happen a dozen times. I recollect in the hot weather of the year 99, or was it 93? I think 93. One of my native bears, however, I sprang forward and caught the crook of my walking stick on Mr. Baxter's ankle and brought him down. And by the time explanations were made it was too late. The train had gone with Miss Peters in it. And a telegram has just arrived, said Lord Emsworth, to say that they are being married this afternoon at a registrar's. The whole occurrence is most disturbing. And, my boy, urged Colonel Mant. To all appearances, Freddie was bearing it magnificently. Not a single exclamation, either of wrath or pain, had escaped his lips.  The fact was, the story had made very little impression on the honorable Freddie of any sort. His relief at Ash's news about Joan Valentine, the stunning joy of having met in the flesh the author of The Adventures of Gridley Quail, the general feeling that all was now right with the world, these things deprived him of the ability to be greatly distressed. And there was a distinct feeling of relief, actual relief, that now it would not be necessary for him to get married. He had liked Aileen, but whenever he really thought of it, the prospect of getting married rather appalled him. A chap he looked such an ass getting married, it appeared, however, that some verbal comment on the state of affairs was required of him. He searched his mind for something adequate. You mean to say Aileen has bolted with Emerson? The deputation nodded, pained nods. Freddie searched in his mind again. The deputation held its breath. Well, I'm blowed, said Freddie, fancy that. Mr. Peters walked heavily into his room. Ash Marson was waiting for him there. He eyed Ash Dully. Pack, he said. Pack? Pack. We're getting out of here by the afternoon train. Has anything happened? My daughter has eloped with Emerson. What? Don't stand there saying what? Pack! Ash put his hand in his pocket. Where shall I put this? He asked. For a moment Mr. Peters looked without comprehension at what Ash was holding out. Then his whole demeanor altered.  He uttered a howl of pure rapture. You got it! I got it. Where was it? Who took it? How did you choke it out of them? How did you find it? Who had it? I don't know whether I ought to say. I don't want to start anything. You won't tell anyone. Tell anyone what do you take me for? Do you think I'm going about advertising this? If I can sneak out without that fellow baxter jumping on my back, I shall be satisfied. You can take it for me that there won't be any sensational exposures if I can help it. Who had it? Young Threepwood. Threepwood? Why did he want it? He needed money and he was going to raise it on Mr. Peters exploded. And I have been kicking because Aileen can't marry him and has gone off with a regular fellow like young Emerson. He's a good boy, young Emerson. I knew his folks. He'll make a name for himself one of these days. He's got get up in him. And I have been waiting to shoot him because he has taken Aileen away from that goggle I'd chomp up in bed there. Why, if she had married Threepwood, I should have had grandchildren who would have sneaked my watch while I was dancing them on my knee. There is a taint of some sort in the whole family. Father sneaks my chiops and sonny sneaks it from father. What a gang. And the best blood in England. If that's England's idea of good blood, give me Hoboken. This settles it. I was a chump ever to come to a country like this. Property isn't safe here. I'm going back to America on the next boat. I'm going to write you that check right away. You've earned it. Listen, young man, I don't know what your ideas are, but if you aren't chained to this country, I'll make it worth your while to stay on with me. They say no one's indispensable, but you come mighty near it.  I'm feeling better now than I have felt in years, and you've only just started in on me. How about it? You can call yourself what you like. Secretary or trainer or whatever suits you best. What you will be is the fellow who makes me take exercise and stop smoking cigars and generally looks after me. How do you feel about it? It was a proposition that appealed both to Ash's commercial and to his missionary instincts. His only regret had been that the scarab recovered he and Mr. Peters would now, he supposed, part company. He had not liked the idea of sending the millionaire back to the world a half cured man.  But the thought of Joan gave him pause. If this meant separation from Joan, it was not to be considered. Let me think it over, he said. Well, think quick, said Mr. Peters. It has been said by those who have been through fires, earthquakes, and shipwrecks that in such times of stress the social barriers are temporarily broken down and the spectacle may be seen of persons of the highest social standing speaking quite freely to persons who are not in society at all and of quite nice people addressing others to whom they have never been introduced. The news of Aileen Peters' elopement with George Emerson, carried beyond the Green Bay's door by Slingsby, the chauffeur, produced very much the same state of affairs in the servants' quarters at Landings Castle. It was not only that Slingsby was permitted to penetrate into the housekeeper's room and tell his story to his social superiors there, though that was an absolutely unprecedented occurrence. What was really extraordinary was that mere menials discussed the affair with the personal ladies and gentlemen of the castle guests and were allowed to do so, uncrushed. James, the footman, that pushing individual actually shoved his way into the room and was heard by witnesses to remark to no less a person than Mr. Beech that it was a bit thick. And it is on record that his fellow footman Alfred, meeting the groom of the chambers in the passage outside, positively prodded him in the lower ribs, winked and said, What a day we're having! One has to go back to the worst excesses of the French Revolution to parallel these outrages. It was held by Mr. Beech and Mrs. Twemlow afterward that the social fabric of the castle never fully recovered from this upheaval. It may be they took an extreme view of the matter, but it cannot be denied that it wrought changes. The rise of Slingsby is a case in point. Until this affair took place, the chauffeur's standing had never been satisfactorily settled. Mr. Beech and Mrs. Twemlow led the party which considered that he was merely a species of coachman. But there was a smaller group which dazzled by Slingsby's personality. Openly declared it was not right that he should take his meals in the servants' hall with such admitted plebeians as the odd man in the storage room footman. The Aileen Georgie Lopment settled the point once and for all. Slingsby had carried George's bag to the train. Slingsby had been standing a few yards from the spot where Aileen began her dash for the carriage door. Slingsby was able to exhibit the actual half-sovereign with which George had tipped him only five minutes before the great event. To send such a public man back to the servants' hall was impossible. By unspoken consent, the chauffeur dined that night in the storage room from which he was never dislodged. Mr. Judson alone stood apart from the throng that clustered about the chauffeur. He was suffering the bitterness of the supplanted. A brief while before, and he had been the central figure with his story of the letter he had found in the Honorable Freddie's coat pocket. Now the importance of his story had been engulfed in that of this later and greater sensation. Mr. Judson was learning for the first time on what unstable foundation's popularity stands. Joan was nowhere to be seen. In none of the spots where she might have been expected to be at such a time was she to be found. Ash had almost given up the search when going to the back door and looking out as a last chance, he perceived her walking slowly on the gravel drive. She greeted Ash with a smile, but something was plainly troubling her. She did not speak for a moment, and they walked side by side. What is it? said Ash at length. What is the matter? She looked at him gravely. Gloom, she said. Despondency, Mr. Marston. A sort of flat feeling.  I don't quite understand. While this affair of Aileen, for instance, it's so big it makes one feel as though the whole world had altered. I should like nothing to happen ever, and life just to jog peacefully along. That's not the gospel I preached to you in Arundel Street, is it? I thought I was an advanced apostle of action, but I seem to have changed. I'm afraid I shall never be able to make clear what I do mean. I only know I feel as though I have suddenly grown old. These things are such milestones. Already I am beginning to look on the time before Aileen behaved so sensationally as terribly remote. Tomorrow it will be worse, and the day after that worse still. I can see that you don't in the least understand what I mean. Yes I do, or I think I do. What it comes to in a few words is that somebody you were fond of has gone out of your life, is that it? Joan nodded. Yes, at least that is partly it. I didn't really know Aileen particularly well beyond having been at school with her, but you're right. It's not so much what has happened as what it represents that matters. This elopement has marked the end of a phase of my life. I think I have it now. My life has been such a series of jerks. I dash along, then something happens which stops that bit of my life with a jerk, and then I have to start over again, a new bit. I think I'm getting tired of jerks. I want something stodgy and continuous. I'm like one of the old bus horses that could go on forever if people got off without making them stop. It's the having to get the bus moving again that wears one out. This little section of my life since we came here is over, and it is finished for good. I've got to start the bus going again on a new road and with a new set of passengers. I wonder whether the old horses used to be sorry when they dropped one lot of passengers and took on a lot of strangers. A sudden dryness invaded Ash's throat. He tried to speak but found no words. Joan went on. Do you ever get moods when life seems absolutely meaningless?  And when somebody comes along that you think really has something to do with the plot, he suddenly drops out. After a while you begin to wonder what the story is about and you feel that it's about nothing, just a jumble. There is one thing, said Ash, that knits it together. What is that? The love interest. Their eyes met and suddenly they descended on Ash's confidence. He felt cool and alert, sure of himself, as in the old days he had felt when he ran races and the nerve-wracking hours of waiting past, he listened for the starter's gun. Subconsciously he was aware he had always been a little afraid of Joan and that now he was no longer afraid. Joan, will you marry me? Her eyes wandered from his face. He waited. I wonder, she said softly. You think that is the solution? Yes. How can you tell, she broke out. We scarcely know each other. I shan't always be in this mood. I may get restless again. Mind it is the jerks that I really like. You won't. You're very confident. I am absolutely confident. She travels fastest who travels alone, misquoted Joan. What is the good, said Ash, of traveling fast if you're going round in a circle? I know how you feel. I felt the same myself.  You think there is something tremendous just round the corner and that you can get it if you try hard enough. Or if there is, it isn't worth getting.  I am going to help old Peters. You are going to help me. I am going to help you. Help me to do what? Make life coherent instead of a jumble. Mr. Marson. Don't call me, Mr. Marson. Ash, you don't know what you are doing. You don't know me. I've been knocking about the world for five years and I'm hard. Hard right through. I could make you wretched. You are not in the least hard and you know it. Listen to me, Joan. Where is your sense of fairness? You crash into my life, turn it upside down, dig me out of my quiet groove, revolutionize my whole existence, and now you propose to drop me and pay no further attention to me. Is it fair? But I don't. We shall always be the best of friends. We shall, but we will get married first. You are determined? I am. Joan laughed happily. How perfectly splendid. I was terrified lest I might have made you change your mind. I had to say all I did to preserve my self-respect after proposing to you. Yes, I did. How strange it is that men never seem to understand a woman, however plainly she talks. You don't think I was really worrying because I had lost Aline, do you? I thought I was going to lose you and it made me miserable. You couldn't expect me to say it in so many words, but I thought, I was hoping, you guessed, I practically said it. Ash, what are you doing? Ash paused for a moment to reply.  But you mustn't. There's a scullery maid or somebody looking through the kitchen window. She will see us. Ash drew her to him. Scullery maids have few pleasures, he said. There is a adult life. Let her see us. End of Chapter 11. Chapter 12. The Earl of Embsworth sat by the sick bed and regarded the Honorable Freddie almost tenderly. I fear, Freddie, my dear boy, this has been a great shock to you. Eh, what? Yes, rather, deuce of a shock, Governor. I have been thinking it over, my boy, and perhaps I have been a little hard on you. When your ankle is better, I have decided to renew your allowance and you may return to London as you do not seem happy in the country, though how any reasonable being can prefer the Honorable Freddie-started Popeye to a sitting posture. My word, not really, his father nodded.  You really are, you know. I know just how you feel about the country and the jolly old birds and trees and chasing the valley slugs off the young geraniums and all that sort of thing. But somehow it's never quite hit me the same way. It's way unbuilt, I suppose. I like asphalt streets and crowds and taxis and meeting chapies at the club and popping in at the empire for half an hour and so forth.  I don't know how to thank you, Governor.  This is the most priceless bit of work you've ever done. I feel like a two-year-old. I don't know when I felt so braced. I really, you know, Governor, I'm most awfully grateful. Exactly, said Lord Emsworth. Ah, precisely. But Freddie, my boy, he added, not without pathos. There was just one thing more.  He eyed his offspring wistfully. Governor, said the Honorable Freddie firmly, I'll have a jolly good stab at it. End of Chapter 12. End of Something New by P.G. Woodhouse.


My name is Darren Lindsey. I'm a firearms instructor. I'm also the less lethal coordinator for the Denver Police Department. Less lethal pretty much the name just explains it's some other form of way to gain compliance from subjects where we don't have to go all the way to lethal force. It's just one more tool in their toolbox to keep the public safe, themselves safe, even the subject that they're dealing with safe. One of the items in our toolbox is a personal defense spray. We just refer to it as our pepper spray. Benefit to this is that everyone has it on their belt so they can get to it. It's convenient. We would use this when maybe you're met with someone who's aggressive looking to assault you but does not have a weapon and you're not justified in moving to a stronger use of force from your toolbox. It's something that they can be decontaminated from and go on about their lives and it doesn't have a permanent effect. What I would do when I go to deploy this I would hold out as arms length. We don't want to be any closer than three feet. You can permanently damage their eyes and that's what we instruct is to spray across their eyes from ear to ear just in little one second bursts. So you want to be three feet or further away but you don't want to be so far back that it's ineffective and you can't accurately get the target that you're shooting for. Then we've got the taser system and that's an individual carry item as well. Each patrol officer in the city right now has one individually issued to them. An officer would deploy the taser when the subject rises to the level of active aggression and active aggression is defined as the threat or perceived threat of an assault on the officer. The taser runs off of electricity. It can immobilize a person immediately and it's really really good for not giving long lasting effects. The taser cartridge that we use has 25 foot wires connected to the probes so from about 10 to 12 feet away I've got my subject here. His threat level has reached the active aggression level so I'm going to take out my taser, put the red dot right on him after I activate the safety switch and I'm going to call out taser taser taser for any officers around so that they're aware that I'm about to deploy it. Taser taser taser. Taser taser taser. The way that we train is that you don't ever deploy less lethal unless you've got another officer there to cover you. When the taser was deployed and the person was incapacitated they would come up and actually take that person into custody. Another tool in the toolbox that we use is the 40 millimeter. This is a multi launcher. The 40 millimeter helps us with distance. It projects this foam baton.  It goes out about as fast as a professional baseball pitcher, about 90 to 100 miles an hour. It will leave bruising, possibly some welts. It should incapacitate a person or make them stop doing whatever they're doing but it gives us the advantage of being further away versus the pepper spray and the taser. This can be used a lot of times for suicidal parties. I would deploy it in their extremities, their thighs, their arms to either disarm them or incapacitate them so that we can come up and take them into custody and get them the help they need. This is a training round and it just saves money because we can reuse these. So this is what I'll be using to show you how to deploy it downrange. I'd come up on target, take the safety off and then shoot. We have a pepper ball system and that also creates distance for us. It's much like a paintball. What it has is a powdered pava, which is similar to the pepper spray effect. This can be used better than the 40 millimeter if you're searching for someone or if someone has secreted themselves in a position of advantage, we can deploy the pepper balls into that area and just the powder itself will activate and make them come out. We've had it where we've been searching for a suspect for whatever reason, say down an alley and we believe that he might be in a dumpster.  We are also trained in CIT, critical incident training. We are trained now better than ever to be able to identify schizophrenia, dementia, people who are bipolar those types of things and ask the appropriate questions, are you on medication? Those types of things because when you realize that somebody may not be acting the way that you want them to act we're finding out now oftentimes it's not because they're aggressive or that they're intending to hurt anyone it's because they have another issue that can be dealt with without even deploying any of these less lethal systems.


This is FDA Patient Safety News. In this edition, a possible link between antidepressants and children and suicidality, the counterfeiting of proline surgical mesh, a caution on possible fires when using sevel fluorine and anesthesia machines, and mix-ups between the drugs Keppra and Keletra. These stories and more on this edition of FDA Patient Safety News. Welcome to the program. For the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, I'm Mark Barnett. And I'm Anita Reiner. Let's start with some medical products FDA recently approved. FDA recently approved Prussian Blue to treat people who have been internally contaminated by ingesting or inhaling particles of radioactive cesium-137 or thallium. The product is called radiogardase, and it's made by the German firm Heil. Prussian Blue is the first available therapy to help reduce the body's burden of these elements. It works by trapping cesium-137 and thallium in the intestine so that they can be eliminated in the stool rather than reabsorbed. Prussian Blue has been used for this purpose over the last several decades. But if it's been used for so long, why the approval now? Well, FDA encouraged manufacturers to submit marketing applications for Prussian Blue to help make drugs to treat radiation contamination more widely available in the event of a terrorist attack. Having the approval will help assure that the product meets high standards of quality and that proper instructions for its use are available. What's the message for clinicians about all this? Well, we want clinicians to know that Prussian Blue can be used to treat internal radiation contamination in the case of a terrorist event such as a dirty bomb attack. It's also effective in treating thallium poisoning. Right now I'm assuming that the Prussian Blue has to be given right away after the person inhales or ingests the material, is that right? Yes, it should be taken as soon as possible after exposure. However, even when treatment cannot be started right away, patients should be given Prussian Blue as soon as it becomes available because it's still effective even after some time has elapsed. What about side effects? Well, the most commonly reported side effects are constipation and stomach upset. Now, a dirty bomb can contain radioactive material other than season 137. Is Prussian Blue going to be effective in dealing with those as well? Well, we're not aware of any clinical data that shows that Prussian Blue is effective in those cases. When the kind of radiation contamination isn't known, Prussian Blue should be given together with other drugs such as potassium iodide, calcium or zinc, DTPA or sodium alginate that are known to be effective in treating contamination from other radioactive substances. Ethicon Incorporated recently issued an alert about a counterfeit mesh product labeled as proline. Proline is a non-absorbable polypropylene mesh that's used in the repair of hernias and other fascial deficiencies. Ethicon says that the counterfeit product is a flat mesh measuring 3 by 6 inches with a product code of PMII. So far, the affected lot numbers are RBE609 and RJJ130. The company says that there are some differences that may distinguish the counterfeit product from authentic proline. For example, the counterfeit mesh may have a tighter asymmetrical weave compared to the open linear weave of authentic proline mesh. The counterfeit product may have a jagged end along the 3-inch side where authentic proline mesh is smooth. And the Ethicon logo on the counterfeit box appears in a thicker typeface than authentic proline. Ethicon is advising physicians, nurses and other health care professionals to carefully examine all 3 by 6 inch flat mesh proline before using it. If you receive any of this product that you suspect is counterfeit, quarantine it so it won't be used and contact your distributor for instructions about return. FDA is testing samples of suspected counterfeit material for composition and sterility and will make the results available on our website. In the meantime, you should continue to monitor patients implanted with suspected counterfeit mesh for infection or any other adverse outcome just as you would a patient with any mesh implant. If you have medical questions regarding suspected counterfeit product, you can contact the Ethicon Customer Service Center at 1-877-Ethicon. In a previous edition of FDA Patient Safety News, we told you about a possible increased risk of suicidal thinking and suicide attempts in children and adolescents being treated with Paxil for major depressive disorder or MDD. Now, in a new advisory, FDA is alerting healthcare professionals about reports of suicidal ideas and attempts in pediatric MDD patients who are being treated with a variety of antidepressant drugs and clinical trials. But Mark, aren't suicidal thinking and suicide attempts associated with major depressive disorder anyway? Of course they are, but it's possible that some of these drugs could increase the risk. FDA's preliminary review of eight antidepressant drugs and clinical studies suggests that there may be an excess of suicidality reports related to several of these drugs compared to a placebo. The FDA advisory knows that there have been stories in the news media and in professional journals reporting on suicide-related events when antidepressants are used in children. But the advisory points out that these events are very difficult to interpret without a control group since they also occur in untreated patients with depression. Well, how sure are we that the use of these drugs in children raises the risk of suicidality? At this point, it's too early to tell, in fact, whether there's a direct causal link between using these drugs and an increased risk. The eight drugs have been used on more than 4,100 pediatric patients in clinical trials, and there have been no reports of completed suicides to date. But an increased risk of suicidality can't be ruled out for any of these antidepressant drugs. FDA's advisory says that additional data and analysis are needed, and, in fact, the FDA has scheduled a meeting to promote a public discussion of the available data. So, in the meantime, what's FDA advising clinicians? Well, one thing the advisory does is to remind clinicians that the only drug shown in clinical trials so far to be effective in treating this condition in children is Prozac. But it also notes that the failure of any single study to show effectiveness doesn't necessarily mean that the drug isn't effective. The advisory recognizes that there aren't many established treatment options for children with MDD, and so clinicians treating them often must choose among treatments that are available for adults with MDD. The advisory also stresses that these antidepressant drugs should be used with caution, whether you're treating children or adults. It points out that the drug labeling already says that suicide attempts are an inherent possibility in MDD, and they may persist until significant remission occurs. So, high-risk patients should be closely supervised during initial drug therapy, and also in order to reduce the risk of an overdose, prescriptions should be written for the smallest number of tablets consistent with good patient management. There was a message to be passed on to patients in the advisory, too. The advisory says that patients should not discontinue these drugs without first consulting with their physicians. For some of these drugs, it's important that they're not abruptly discontinued. The advisory tells parents and other caretakers of children who are on antidepressants to talk to their doctors about these drugs. You know, you can find a copy of the FDA advisory on our website, and as more information becomes available, we'll update you on future editions of FDA Patient Safety News. Abbott Laboratories has sent a letter to healthcare professionals about its product, ultane, or sevofluorine, a general anesthetic. The letter warns about rare reports of fires or extreme heat in the respiratory circuit of anesthesia machines when this product is used. Although the exact cause of the fires hasn't yet been determined, in most cases, the CO2-absorbent material used with the ultane had become desiccated. This may have led to an increased exothermic reaction between the sevofluorine and the absorbent material. The letter from Abbott provides a number of recommendations to reduce the risk of fires or excessive heat. Let's summarize them. First, replace the CO2-absorbent if you suspect it's become desiccated because it hasn't been used for a long time. Turn off the anesthesia machine completely at the end of each clinical use. If the machine is left on, fresh gas continues to flow through it at a low rate, and this may accelerate the drying of the absorbent. Turn off all vaporizers when they're not in use. Before you use a new CO2-absorbent, check the integrity of the packaging. Periodically monitor the temperature of the CO2-absorbent canisters. Monitor the correlation between the sevofluorine vaporizer setting and the concentration of the inspired sevofluorine. If you notice an unusually delayed rise or an unexpected decline in the inspired sevofluorine concentration when you compare it to the vaporizer setting, this could indicate that there's excessive heating in the absorbent canister. And finally, replace CO2-absorbents routinely regardless of what the color indicator shows. The color indicator doesn't necessarily change as a result of desiccation. There's additional important information in Abbott's letter if you use Ultane, be sure you have a copy. You can get one on our website or from Abbott's Medical Information Department at 1-800-633-9110. The drug company UCB Pharma has sent a letter to health care professionals warning of potential mix-ups between their drug, Keppra, and another drug, Keletra, which is a product of Abbott Laboratories. Keppra or Leviteracetam is an anti-epileptic. Keletra, a combination of lopinivir and ratonivir, is an antiretroviral. Of course, mix-ups between any drugs can expose patients to adverse events from a medication they didn't need. But in this case, a mix-up could also result in an epileptic patient missing medication and possibly experiencing status epilepticus or an HIV-positive patient not receiving critical therapy. The two products don't look alike. What can look alike and also sound alike are their names, and that's the source of the problem. Here's what UCB Pharma recommends to prevent mix-ups. First of all, write or speak the drug name clearly when prescribing these medications. Second, when it's appropriate, include the intended use of the drug on prescriptions. And third, counsel patients to check the medications they receive and bring any questions to the pharmacist's attention. In other words, encourage patients to examine the medication as soon as they receive it and immediately let the pharmacist or physician know if it looks different from previous prescriptions of the same drug. Every year, tens of millions of vaccinations are given to children and adults in this country to prevent serious infectious diseases. FDA and CDC work together to monitor the safety of these vaccines using a registry known as the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS. The VAERS registry contains reports of adverse events from patients, parents, and healthcare providers, and it can help to identify important new vaccine safety concerns. Take the example of the rotavirus vaccine. During the first months after this vaccine was approved, epidemiologists at FDA and CDC published 15 VAERS reports of infants who had developed a particular type of intestinal obstruction after receiving the vaccine. The report signaled a potential problem which led to further investigations, and as a result, the vaccine program was suspended, and then later, as investigations verified the serious risk, the manufacturer voluntarily removed the vaccine from the market. Of course, it takes multiple reports and thorough investigation to confirm a causal relationship between an adverse event and a vaccine. Still, VAERS reports are on the front line in making sure that vaccines are safe by providing a rapid signal that problems may be occurring. Sometimes, VAERS reports highlight errors in prescribing or administering vaccines. For example, the VAERS registry was found to contain reports of 22 pregnant women who had received live virus varicella vaccine by mistake after being exposed to chickenpox. These women should have received a different product, varicella zoster immune globulin, or VZIG. In this case, FDA and CDC worked with the varicella vaccine manufacturer to publish details about the 22 cases. By publishing this information, we were able to alert healthcare professionals of this potential mix-up and thus help prevent future cases. It's important to keep the VAERS system working, and we can't do that without your help. We're asking that you report any significant adverse event that occurs after a vaccination, even if you're not sure that the vaccine caused it. It's easy to report by internet, phone, fax, or mail. You can find out how to do that on our website. Well, that's all for this edition of FDA Patient Safety News. Remember, you can get more information on all the stories you've seen here today by visiting our website. We also urge you to use the website to report problems you've encountered with medical products. That's how we learn about problems so we can alert others. We'll be back next month with another edition, so watch for us. Until then, for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, I'm Anita Reiner. And I'm Mark Barnett. See you next time.


The nemonic device, or memory device, has any learning technique that aids information retention or retrieval remembering in the human memory. Nemonics make use of elaborative encoding, retrieval cues, and imagery of specific tools to encode any given information in a way that allows for efficient storage and retrieval. Nemonics aid original information in becoming associated with something more accessible or meaningful which, in turn, provides better retention of the information. Commonly encountered nemonics are often used for lists and in auditory form, such as short poems, acronyms, or memorable phrases, but nemonics can also be used for other types of information and in visual or kinesthetic forms. Their use is based on the observation that the human mind more easily remembers spatial, personal, surprising, physical, sexual, humorous, or otherwise relatable information, rather than more abstract or impersonal forms of information. The word needmonic is derived from the ancient Greek word needmonicles meaning of memory, or relating to memory and is related to nemonic remembrance. The name of the goddess of memory in Greek mythology. Both of these words are derived from nemonic remembrance, the memory. Nemonics in antiquity were most often considered in the context of what is today known as the art of memory. Ancient Greeks and Romans distinguished between two types of memory, the natural memory and the artificial memory. The former is inborn, and is the one that everyone uses instinctively. The latter in contrast has to be trained and developed through the learning and practice of a variety of nemonic techniques. Nemonic systems are techniques or strategies consciously used to improve memory. They help use information already stored in long-term memory to make memorization an easier task.
