Stakes leaves minutes later satisfied that she has it under control. Often say McMahon the doctor will stay especially if there is a patient who might encounter some sort of difficulty during the night and grab sleep when he can Stakes serves as a neurologist as well as an internist in day light and on nights when the lab is in service he says "I fit sleep in someplace...
...Veronika, the '40s were all beautiful music and the caress of a soft-focus lens; the '50s are jangly cowboy songs and cruel chiaroscuro. Propelled by her screenwriter husband (who fades out of his own picture), her producer (who finds younger actresses for his casting couch), her neurologist (who ladles out morphine) and a curious reporter (who cannot escape the lure of decadence), Veronika travels down Sunset Boulevard to a dead end.

...patience was rewarded. His friend and fellow pianist Gary Graffman was suffering from a similar problem and had found sympathetic and helpful doctors at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital. The doctors, Fred Hochberg, a neurologist, and Robert Leffert, an orthopedic surgeon, examined Fleisher and determined that he was suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition that occurs when swollen tissue presses against a major nerve that transmits feeling to the hand. Fleisher was operated on in January 1981 to relieve the nerve. A few months later he began follow-up treatment, a powerful and sometimes painful application of pressure...

The subjects scored lower than normal males on tests of spatial ability, the capacity to visualize and mentally manipulate objects in space. Girls usually...
...June morning three years ago, Rebecca Vadala, 12½, woke up complaining of severe headache. Her mother was not too concerned; Becky had had headaches six months before, and the neurologist had assured her that headaches are not uncommon during puberty. But by evening the child was having convulsions and had lost consciousness temporarily. She was rushed to nearby Baptist Hospital of Miami, where a neurologist performed a lumbar puncture, inserting a needle between vertebrae in the lower back to get a sample of cerebrospinal fluid. Within an hour Becky went into cardiac and respiratory arrest...
