A diabetic case should have permanent damage in the vessels and/or nerves, once some damage is there it will behave about the same, unless a psychological component is involved. A mild ED deficit (diabetic or vascular) will be mild for some period of months to years, unless a psychological burden worsen it. But this patient is so florid and malleable that it is very difficult to assign him to a group.

Some decent sized blocks at the close? Just wondering if anyone was watching the trades in the last 5 minutes... looks to me like there were 3 pretty good blocks of 14K, 15K, and 10K. All three appear to be sells. Can anybody confirm? Throughout the last week's decline, there's been a good bit of selling in the last 15 minutes. But these blocks were a little bigger than normal. Seems like if any big money is getting out, they're doing it very gingerly so as not to tip over the cart! Brad

Linda, it is certainly possible to have "intermittent" ED from medical causes. It is also very possible from a biomed point of view to have a medication work for ED only with stimulation. In fact, Viagra will require stimulation for it to produce an erection. Viagra enhances blood flow to the pelvic area. Stimulation activates the parasmypathetic nervous system to keep the blood in its proper place and maintain the erection. It is conceivable, but certainly not proven, that Phentolamine could work in grossly the same way. Brad
