...roaring, buzzing sounds manufactured inside of George Yocum's head. A coal miner, George Yocum had been caught in a rock slide in 1935, suffered an injury to the carotid artery behind his right eye. The artery's weakened wall allowed it to swell out in a sac which was full of pulsing blood. In front, the sac caused the eye to protrude; in back, it throbbed against the skull, wore down the bone. The throbbing produced the noises in his head. At the university, the noises were picked up by a microphone, electrically amplified so that they...

Lying horizontally within her abdomen, between the top of her stomach and her spine, was a skin-like sac. Segments of Barbara's bowels were fastened to this sac...
When he slit open the sac, the pink buttocks of a five-month fetus protruded. In attempting to lift out the fetus, Dr. Brunkow felt some resistance: the mon ster's head was attached to the sac.

...colleagues at Philadelphia that a patient who came to him for an operation to relieve hardening of a coronary artery had a 50-50 chance to survive. Taking the chance, Surgeon Beck opened the man's chest, detached a length of pectoral muscle, made a hole in the sac called pericardium, which encases the heart, and with a burr abraded a raw spot on the beating heart. Against that raw spot he placed the raw end of the pectoral muscle. Within a short time blood vessels grew out of the muscle and into the heart, thus supplying blood...
