[edit] Notable patients

I removed the text regarding the finding of rifampicin in Slobodan Milošević's bloodstream, because it is completely irrelevant to this article. It could, conceivably, be useful information for the Slobodan Milošević article but not this one. -Techelf 07:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I think the Milosevic anecdote should be added to the paragraph concerning drug interactions (it's currently being reported that he used rifampicin specifically to counteract his HTN medications.[1]) It should be a small line quickly giving the premise and linking to the specific portion of the Milosevic wiki once the changes on that page are more or less finalized. A brief real-life correlation would be a nice breath of fresh air for some of these drug articles.--Jim 13:37, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
