Quadriplegic Moves Hand By Thinking About It

Excerpt from this article:

"It is, as the Washington Post writes, 'science fiction come true': A 23-year-old quadriplegic managed to move his right hand last Wednesday, a hand that he'd had no power over since he broke his neck after diving into a sandbar in the Atlantic Ocean in 2010."

Cardiologist to Impatient Patient: "You Don't Want to Be On the Top of My List!"

I used to work in a hospital. I recall an anecdote one of the RNs told me once. She said one of her patients was complaining to her doctor, a cardiologist, about not being seen quickly enough. The cardiologist explained that he had other patients he needed to see first, to which she replied: "Well, how do I get on the top of your list?"

The cardiologist responded: "Trust me, you don't want to be on the top of my  list!"
