...Thomas looked at Ardman's chart, riffled through a book describing prescription drugs, searched a couple of drawers and accidentally dropped something on the floor. Ardman was already receiving a drip of dopamine, a compound that treats low blood pressure. Merely increasing the dosage of dopamine would almost certainly raise Ardman's blood pressure, relieve his nausea and dizziness, and bring him out of crisis...
...results were surprising. After Thomas left, I watched a nurse with more than 25 years' experience go through the same simulation. At first, when the monitor indicated a drop in blood pressure, Monica (also a pseudonym) coolheadedly began to identify possible treatments. Within seconds she noticed Ardman's dopamine drip, and she knew it was the answer. "She's so fast," said James Whyte IV, an assistant professor at Florida State's School of Nursing who was controlling the robot from a hidden room where we sat watching...
...should learn a few phrases ahead of time.

During Christmastime around Kathmandu, sanitation workers had been agitating for over three months. Piles of garbage festered around every cobblestoned corner...
...attention but no massage. Dr. Daniel Hinshaw, a surgeon in the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System and one of the study's co-authors, says that when asked a day after surgery, some patients reported that massage delivered about as much pain relief as a dose from a morphine drip. Hinshaw suggests that massage functions by creating a competing sensation to block pain or by generating endorphin-like chemicals in the body, which reduce pain and promote a sense of well-being. He also notes the crucial - and often forgotten - role of touch in medicine: Human touch can help alleviate...
