One for our mad PM James Gordon Brown.

Forgetful patients fitted with microchips to remind them to take pills.

Patients will be fitted with a microchip in their shoulder to remind them to take their medicine, under a new scheme being developed by a drugs company.

Older people will be given pills containing a harmless microchip that sends a signal to the chip in the shoulder when the pill is taken.

But if the pill is not taken by the forgetful patient, the chip in the shoulder will then send a text to a carer or the patient to remind them.

That's a great idea, should cut down on the yelling at staff and throwing of mobile phones.
