...your cells in order to give an energy-use mapping of a slice of your body. It is better at showing some tumors than any other imaging method. We have tri-spiral CT scanners, radionucleide bone scanners, EKG-gated CT angiographic scanners. We can test the electrical activity of brain, muscle and nerve. We can test your blood in two thousand different ways. We can test the gases going in and out of your lungs...
...himself was the patient under discussion. When we had a moment alone in the doctor?s lounge, I asked him "what's going on?" We talked about tests. It had to be his brain. His wise head therefore ordered itself shot through with x-rays, ultrasonic waves, magnet fields of strength found only around spinning stars, radio waves, injections of iodine, gadolinium, positron-emitting glucose. Many other brains were wracked for the sake of his; neurologists, neuroradiologists, infectious disease specialists. Tens of thousands of dollars of tests. No diagnosis...
...much, we are hurting this body God gave us and I think putting your body at risk when you don't need to put it at risk, like riding a motorcycle without a helmet, I just don't think it makes sense. I think God gave us a brain. He expects...
Claire Brickell, 25, an aspiring neurologist in her third year at Harvard Medical School, already knows far more about health care than most of us. She can diagnose heart failure from a chest X ray. She can diagram the intricate circuits of the brain. And if she needed to, she could probably pull off a pretty decent tracheotomy. But when it comes to communicating with patients, Brickell has a problem: she's too healthy. Like most of her classmates, she has spent very little time as a patient. She has never had to weigh the advice of a trusted friend...
...crews getting their assignments at the map-filled Tactical Operations Command and inside a Black Hawk transporting a patient. I would have liked to see more of the crucial role played by those air rescue squads. Likewise, the big medical decisions - whether to amputate a limb or move a brain-damaged victim - get short shrift. HBO missed potentially dramatic scenes of those debates. A long, jazzy saxophone solo by a soldier reflects the melancholy mood of patients. But, despite a few emotional scenes, the film failed to plumb the mindset of casualties...
