...doubt, Wade's slashing style benefited from NBA rules changes that require referees to call the game much closer - even slight contact might get you to the foul line. In Game 5, Wade shot 25 foul shots - as much as the entire Dallas team. In Game 6, he shot 21 more. For years, Dallas will be smarting over a foul call against Nowitzki in the waning seconds of game 5 - he barely touched Wade, but the refs awarded Wade the winning free throws. So yes, Wade's stats might be a bit inflated - but getting questionable foul calls was also...
...Emergency Room of the hospital where I trained 15 years ago. She was seven years old at the time and had developed chicken pox three days earlier, but her pox had caused a "really bad headache." She had had a fever for the last several days, a slight runny nose, not much of an appetite because her throat hurt, and she was very tired. Tylenol didn't help for a headache that she described as being "all over" her head and a little on her neck. Still, there was no history of headaches or migraines in the family...

All it needed was a slight modification in climate to take...
...extreme consequence is a bent frame and the so-called dowager's hump. In Cincinnati, retired Registered Nurse Daisy Randle Smith, 76, has a hump now, and despite wearing a brace, she has had spinal fractures in nine of the past ten years; one fracture was caused by a slight sneeze. "I'm in pain most of the time," she says, "and I've lost 5 1/2 inches since 1977." The loss of height is irreversible, as is the brittleness. Fractures like Smith's are common -- 1.2 million occur in the U.S. each year. Almost half are to spinal vertebrae...
