...singing political songs, first, Farouk, May You Live Forever and later, for Nasser, Gamal and the Nile Are Creators of the Dam. When, in 1953, a black-bordered box in Egyptian newspapers reported that a hyperthyroid condition endangered her voice, no doctor in the Middle East dared to treat her for fear of damaging "Allah's treasure." At the invitation of the U.S. Government, she was treated successfully with isotopes at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center...
...young amputee went to Buffalo, where surgeons exchanged some of his cancerous tissue for tissue from patients with a similar form of osteogenic sarcoma. The hope was that, although the body does not treat its own cancerous cells as "foreign" and therefore does not destroy them by a rejection mechanism, each patient's system would regard the other's cells as foreign, and make immune cells to attack the cancer. If that happened, blood from one patient, containing the immune cells against a second patient's cancer, could be transfused into the second patient to attack...
...Mine Ills. The basic idea, says Dr. Silver, is to train a well-qualified nurse to diagnose and treat run-of-the-mine complaints, give vaccines, check sight and hearing, and recognize troubles serious enough to demand a doctor's attention.

"You have to say to him, 'Mr. President, you are right in your analysis of the situation and therefore this is what you should do.' That way you persuade him to do what he does...
...Although, says Beecher, "it is known that rheumatic fever can usually be prevented" by giving penicillin to treat the recurrent "strep throats" that can cause rheumatic fever and heart disease, 109 sick U.S. servicemen were denied penicillin; two developed acute rheumatic fever, and one acute nephritis. In a related study, 500 U.S. servicemen were denied penicillin and given either sulfadiazine or no drug at all in order to compare the effects. The comparison, Beecher suggests, was distressingly clear: at least 25 of the 500 developed rheumatic fever, and one medical officer put the number as high...
