> Jonah

I almost wrote of poor Jonah too, who when refusing to become a prophet was washed off his boat and out to sea, only to be swallowed by a whale, and finally later vomited (sic - literally) out to safety. I couldn't see that being what our friend was looking for though, so I scratched that idea. As you said though Fisk - the right direction:-)

Perhaps there is a medical name (beides side-effect) for unintentional negative effects caused by a drug that would be useful....
