You know, the guy with the face.

The guy at CodeBlueBlog isn't buying the dioxin poisoning thing.

Like I know. Interesting, though.

Update: But Doc MedPundit says Not so fast.

Update2: More doubts cast on the diagnosis here, including threats of intimidation for the "correct" diagnosis. Say it ain't so, Viktor!

CodeBlueBlogger may be right to question Yushchenko's poisoning, but the way he does so lends little medical authority to his conclusions.He makes unjustified assumptions that Yushchenko was acutely poisoned and describes ridiculous scenarios in which foul smelling soup had to be consumed visibly contaminated by globules of dioxin placed there by spies.The dialogue is gratuitously offensive and full of exclamatatoy punctuaton and pejorative parentheses that do not encourage trust in his capacity to make a calm and rational diagnosis.I was taught dermatoloy by an expert on dioxin who helped with the afermath of an explosion at a factory in Italy that manufactured it.Yushchenko's skin lesions fit very well with exposure to dioxin but that doesn't mean they were caused by it.Even some children who were contaminated by their clothes having been washed alongside their father's from the factory developed acne so the dose would seem to have been very small.We need to see the medical evidence .All else is supposition.

Thanks for that explanation. :)
