In this week's look at the mid-week medical news we will cover a new discovery that links compounds found in grapefruits that may hold the key to slowing or stopping the replication of the HCV (hepatitis C virus) at the cellular level.

Another interesting study looked at the effects of delaying seeking medical attention after the onset of symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, etc.

Finally, I talk about a disturbing survey out of Australia that has some surprising things to say about women who are pregnant and alcohol consumption.
