[Medicine] Palelki Corporation Under Fire for Palenol Controversy

Palelki Corporation Under Fire for Palenol Controversy

Baleal Vrin, OurMed Magazine

Medical journalists are alight with controversy after the sudden announcement of the popular drug, Palenol, having unexpected side-effects in asari users. The so-called “miracle drug,” utilized for headache relief, has only been on the market for approximately sixteen months.

Dr. Kel Palelki, M.D., has expressed his remorse over the early release of Palenol. “I thought that it was too early,” he said in an exclusive interview with OurMed. “We still had some testing to do, but the investors were pushing, and we didn’t feel like we had an option."

Dr. Palelki’s statements have generated an incensed response from victims of Palenol, who are experiencing unprecedented amounts of scalp itch and, strangely, dandruff. An anonymous member of the outreach group, Smooth Again, stated to OurMed in a private interview, “It’s so humiliating. I had a beautiful scalp before, but now it looks like a fresh snowfall on Noveria!”

Legal action has been taken against Palelki Corp. Claims have numbered in the thousands thus far, and are expected to rise over the next few months. In the meantime, Palenol has been removed from public markets and its production has been suspended. Asari who have used Palenol are encouraged to visit their physicians for medical advice.

As I understand it yeah - not dissimilar to the uncomfortable period of shedding we get in our 'teens when the infant scalp starts transitioning into what'll eventually be its mature form - but (I know you know your way around a scalp, but for CDN's general edification) our scalps don't just have one layer. Anything happening on the outermost tendrils is happening on the two inner layers as well (unless it's caused by direct contact with an external agent which only touched the outer scalp), which are a) more sensitive and b) harder to get to. It was bad enough keeping it all clean for that few months back when I was growing up, I don't want to think about what it'd be like having 'unprecedented' itch and shedding as an adult, when the top layer has firmed up. I think those nano-scrubber treatments are about to start selling like hot tarts.

Based upon your description, this process is none too dissimilar to the "experience" drell must undergo every other month: shedding. The thought of being provoked into such a state rather than naturally coming upon it is discomforting at best; scales must be shed when they will, not when a product demands it.

If any asari on this forum should require additional information on products that could provide relief, I can be contacted via my private line on the boards (for a small fee, of course).

Oh, goodness! I don't know too many asari these days, but I'll be sure to pass along the word if possible. I hope all of you asari out there are scalp-itch free!

I need to go to a massage parlor. I have an urge to get me a proper Vis'te le'ku massage immediately. With lots and lots of nice oil!

Goddess, that feeling must be awful.
I am calling for better controled tests before releasing such stuff.
