This wasn't entirely unexpected; in fact, in preparation for [Paul Farmer]'s visit to the island, I'd finally started reading "Mountains Beyond Mountains," [Tracy Kidder]'s 2003 book about Farmer and the organization he and [Ophelia Dahl] founded, Partners in Health (the book's subtitle is "The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, A Man Who Would Cure the World"). He's a senior staffer at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, serves on the Harvard Medical School faculty, speaks his mind about poverty and politics and gets money from Bill Gates and Warren Buffett and the Clinton Foundation.

A Nodaway County jury has awarded $3.4 million to a 61-year-old northwest Missouri man and his wife after the man's right leg was amputated in 2008 following complications from hip replacement surgery. Michael Mackey and his wife, Billie, initially filed suit in Nodaway County Circuit Court in September 2008 against the Maryville doctor who first treated the former maintenance supervisor.
March 30 was National Doctors' Day. Not too upset that you missed sending your doctor a thank you card? My wife wasn't. She went to see Dr. X for muscle pain and low energy the other day. She waited half an hour for her appointment and was seen for barely five minutes. She left with instructions to get bloodwork done.
Thomas Persson remembers absolutely nothing about what happened to him while he was riding his bicycle in rural Southern Illinois one day last month. One minute he was climbing a hill; the next, he was in a hospital bed with a severe concussion and a laceration on his left leg. He's crystal clear on one thing, however: the helmet he was wearing that day saved his life.

Two years ago, Tracey Joyce of Webb City showed up at her local pharmacy expecting to get a refill for an anti-arthritis medication.

CHICAGO - The doctor who operated on Derrick Rose's knee insists the Chicago Bulls' star can dominate again. It will take time, though. Rose faces a recovery of eight months to a year.
A traitor? Is that really what Pakistan thinks Dr. Shakil Afridi is? If so, it underscores just how detached from reality that angry nation is. Whatever it thinks, though, Afridi's conviction and harsh prison sentence leave the United States with unfinished diplomatic business. Afridi helped the CIA in its hunt for Osama bin Laden, the terrorist with the blood of thousands on his hands. Pakistanis ought to hold a parade in Afridi's honor. His actions were noble.
PHILADELPHIA - Just days after Marie Smith got an abortion at a West Philadelphia clinic, her stomach swelled and she began vomiting green stuff. Her mother, Johnnie Mae Smith, took her to a hospital where doctors rushed the unconscious 20-year-old into surgery to remove numerous fetal parts that were left inside her body, causing a potentially fatal infection.
