Finally the doctor will test the patient's reflexes with the time-honored taps on the knee and ankle, measure the muscles and test sensation with pinpricks...

In short, his performance...
Even drinking water is suspect. Researchers studying the New Orleans and Cincinnati water supplies found that chlorine, added to water to kill harmful bacteria, can combine with certain pollutants to form compounds that may cause cancer; cancer rates in the New Orleans area, which draws its water from the lowermost-and thus most polluted-part of the Mississippi, are among the highest in the nation. More carcinogens may soon be added to the environment. Studies have shown that the extraction of oil from shale and gas from coal-processes that could eventually be used on a large scale-produces polycyclic...
