...oblivious," Kraemer said. "He was going to come out headfirst." Kraemer and another agent grabbed him and pulled him to safety. The boy, with gunshot wounds in the head and foot, was so much in shock that he could barely say his name. Rick or Rich, they thought he said. His name was Patrick Ireland. He had taken two bullets to the head. Last week the 17-year-old was in serious condition, suffering from impaired speech and damaged motor skills to his right side...
...turns out that the most damning evidence doctors had against eggs was circumstantial. Eggs, or really egg yolks, contain about 215 mg of cholesterol. There is no question that eating a diet rich in cholesterol raises the level of cholesterol in the blood.

If you wanted a container for the blood of Jesus, it would be impossible to imagine...
...year-old survivor of advanced breast cancer, I find it difficult to muster any sympathy for Joanne Motichka [MEDICINE, April 12]. First she chooses to have a mastectomy, then she gets rich from the pictures of her scarred chest, and finally she sues the physician who probably saved her life. What would she have done if he had given her a lumpectomy and then she had suffered a recurrence? Losing my breast was a sad experience, but I have learned that my breast was not the focus of my femininity and sexual appeal. I am now a precious woman...
