Shopaholic suffering: Christmas brings crisis for the women addicted to buying happiness

Article Abstract:

People who use shopping as a way of dealing with problems in their personal and professional lives are particularly vulnerable during the Christmas and New Year period, when they become even more obsessed with shopping. Addiction to shopping tends to be regarded as something of a joke, but can actually become very destructive for the individuals and families concerned. For some, shopping is an alternative to drinking for dealing with emotional problems.

'Is it too much to ask that children with haemophilia get the best and safest treatment?' (National Health Service unwilling to pay to treat child haemophiliacs with safer clotting agent)

Article Abstract:

There is growing concern among parents of child haemophiliacs in the UK about the reluctance of the National Health Service to pay for these children to be treated with the genetically-engineered version of Factor VIII, the clotting agent which is vital to the survival of haemophiliacs. This version is now acknowledged to present a lower risk of viral contamination than the human-derived Factor VIII, which is much less expensive.
