Wait a sec.... The hammers were sluggish at first... but not in an acute
state of siezure.. after the application of Proteck they go into cardiac
arrest and Protec can not be the cause ??? or at least a contributing
factor ??? Sounds sorta like a case of someone with thin blood taking too
much asprin and wondering why they bleed to death.. or what ?? :)
