Viagra Saves Baby 's Life
As everyone knows, Viagra is used (and sometimes abused) as a treatment for impotency. It works by expanding blood vessels. Apparently, a prematurely born baby was on the verge of death and, in connection with heart surgery, some enterprising doctor prescribed Viagra--opening the child's lung blood vessels, allowing better oxygen absoroption, and saving his life. It was experimental, but it worked. It will be interesting to see if this opens a whole new use for the drugs currently used to help sexual dysfunction in men.
