...stack of paper in most private hospitals. And instead of trekking to the radiology lab to view the latest X-ray, she brings it up on her computer screen. While Shroff is visiting the patient, a resident types in a request for pain medication, then punches the SEND button. Seconds later, the printer in the hospital pharmacy spits out the order. The druggist stuffs a plastic bag of pills into what looks like a tiny space capsule, then shoots it up to the ward in a vacuum tube. By the time Shroff wheels away her computer, a nurse walks...
...simple setup and compatibility with all of my Internet music purchases, I was really loving it. The clincher is the wireless remote, which displays all of the artists, albums and songs alphabetically on a clear and spacious screen.

...Narcotics are the "hot button" for every orthopedist. People call us at all hours asking for them. They plead, cajole and lie to get them. Every few months an article appears saying we give too many, then another month and an article says we don't give enough. Narcotics make good people do things they never would. In the medical setting they say "I just wanted the pain to go away - it?s about the pain, not the drug. "In the street setting they say" the drug took control over me - it robbed me of my free will." Remember...
