VU's genetic research identifies best drugs to treat schizophrenia
Doctors assured the Charlotte man that medications would make the people who were trying to kill him for his body parts go away. But the first drug Bryce Arola tried to treat his schizophrenia didn't end his delusions. Instead, Arola said, it just made him feel like someone had cut off the top of his skull, poured gasoline on his brain, and set it on fire. The second drug made him gain nearly 100 pounds, sleep all the time, and see everything as a cartoon character. .
Little city of Hué is soaked in war's history
Their children would have been the ones drinking beer with us a few blocks away at a bar named the DMZ Bar. (Really, I couldn't make this up. It seems that all the bars popular among Westerners and backpackers are war-themed. I heard someone order an "AK-47, on the rocks.") A 24-year-old Vietnamese kid was running the pool table when we got there. I wrote my name on the chalkboard and when it came my turn to play him, I was so terrible, he started laughing and taught me a few tricks. By the end of our hour-long game (he was going easy on me and I wasn't sinking any), the whole bar cheered when I sunk two in a row. Afterward, Stevie and I hung out with the pool shark and his sister, who now works at a nail salon in Vancouver. She comes back home to Hue once a year or so and has helped contribute money to buy her family a house here.
