RESUMEN
The internal concealment of cocaine and other drugs in packets by "body packers"--those who swallow packets of drugs or hide them in their vagina or rectum--to avoid detection by customs officials has been increasing in both the United States and Europe. The types of package and how they are concealed are changing as the traffickers become more sophisticated in their methods. The latest parcels are less likely to burst, but obstruction of the bowel may occur. Awareness of the problem is important for staff of emergency medical services near international ports of arrival.

This series of three articles discusses the new income tax rules regarding the incorporation of professionals in general and veterinarians in particular. It points out that while there may be some degree of tax saving or deferral achieved by incorporating, many provincial veterinary associations may not yet permit its members to incorporate. The incorporation of the nonprofessional aspects, however, should be carefully considered.
