...throwing shoulder—long tight and often sore—was throbbing. X-Rays and MRIs from the fall had come back clean, but finally at the end of Harvard’s season an arthroCT scan had revealed a frayed labrum. His shoulder would hurt until he had surgery...
...second hot-button issue this case presents is the issue of patients in a persistent vegetative state (PVS). Patients in PVSs, sadly, do not appear to be unaware, even though they are. A CT scan of Schiavo’s brain (available at http://www.miami.edu/ethics/schiavo/CT%20scan.png) reveals that the majority of her brain is liquefied.

"We don't know how the King died, but we are sure it was not murder," said Egyptian antiquities expert Zahi Hawass...
