Satya's blog - Medical stuff and Star Trek

I've been watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and I realised that Dr. Crusher often uses something called "inaprovaline". Apparently it's a stimulant because she's always using it on unconscious people. I was wondering if it can be used to treat mesothelioma -- which tells you how much I know about pharmacy, as mesothelioma is some kind of asbestos-related lung disease.

Hmm, Wikipedia has an article on inaprovaline, too. Seems there are whole web sites devoted to a database (oy, ask me sometime about the confusion at work!) of Star Trek medications.
