...cause soft-tissue injuries and stress fractures, also called hairline fractures, which result from the compounding of tiny cracks in the bone over time. It's not uncommon for such tiny cracks to appear in the bones that bear the heaviest loads, like the tibia (shinbone), but they usually heal quickly and go unnoticed. Stress fractures occur when bone damage happens suddenly, without enough time to heal. For instance, high school athletes who stop training all summer and then abruptly start attending practice every day have a much higher risk of stress fractures in their shinbones than their friends...
...preacher's son ("I felt quite sure that Jesus lived with us because Mamma and Papa talked to him so much") and a life that had all the hagiographic basics in it, including his mother's vow to give her child to God in return for the healing of a neighbor's child, and his bloody bout with tuberculosis and miraculous cure. "Son, I am going to heal you," God reportedly told him, "and you are going to take the message of my healing power to your generation...

...right that public fascination with Tiger will be even more intense the next time he steps on the golf course or appears on Oprah. (Which won't happen until those "lacerations" fully heal.) It will be a ratings bonanza. But he'll never quite be what he once was. He won't be speaking at any more presidential inaugurations. And in some ways, I think this might put even more pressure on him to re-establish his dominance over the competition. His failure to win a major this year obviously didn't damage his place in our corporate-cultural pantheon...
...these kinds of misdiagnoses so common? There are several reasons. Laureys and other experts have found that some PVS patients' brains may heal over time, although this is much more infrequent in injuries caused by stroke or cardiac arrest. And many patients are treated in long-term care facilities where they may not have access to specialists. If they begin to show subtle signs of awareness, they can often be missed by caregivers who have not been trained to look for them...
