...year-old girl screamed in agony as the E.R. technician carried her out of the ambulance. Her arms and legs were fractured, her spleen and lungs damaged. Rawand Ratrout, a Palestinian anesthesiologist, inserted intravenous drips into the girl's smoke-blackened arm. She ordered a nurse to inject the patient with a muscle relaxant while the technician, Mohammed Assaly, checked the girl's ventilator, careful not to touch her face, which was burned raw and bloody. "I always imagine what would happen if I were this victim," says Ratrout. In this case, that required more imagination than usual. The young...
...wounded Averbach. Passions ran high after one of Hadassah's doctors, Shmuel Gillis, was shot dead in the West Bank by Palestinians in February 2001. To avoid clashes with victims' families, an Arab social worker usually stationed in the E.R. no longer works there immediately after terrorist attacks.

"Collagen put in the wrong area could actually accentuate wrinkles." On the other hand, dermatologists point out, a skilled technician may be able to transform your face over a lunch break...
...they have consistently voted against joining, in part because of strong community support for the manufacturers and a sense of mutual loyalty. "Nissan takes care of its employees, and if the union tries to organize us, I'll probably oppose it," says Murphy Wilson, 27, a newly hired technician in Canton. The UAW has tried four times to win over Nissan's Smyrna work force but was voted down 2 to 1 in its last try in 2001. "We have not given up on the transnationals," says UAW president Ron Gettelfinger, who claims that "fear, intimidation and threats hold workers...
