I have removed all of the information that was copied verbatim from the MedlinePlus website, leaving content that was added originally by other Wikipedia editors. Should you encounter a similar problem in the future, have a look at Wikipedia's stance on copyright violations to see what your options are. In general, simply blanking the article will not achieve your goal. Cheers. --PeruvianLlama^(spit) 21:51, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
