Nothing Personal

     Watch our Medical Headline Videos:

•      “Treating Liver Cancer with Tiny Beads” is our first story. Dr Charles Gilliand, Director of Interventional Radiology at Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Atlanta tells us about a one day, non-surgical procedure that is extending lives.
•      “Relief for Pelvic Pain” talks about a new procedure being tried by Dr J David Prologo, an interventional radiologist at Emory Johns Creek Hospital. It is working for 95 percent of the patients who try it.
•      “Rooster Injections: Something to Crow About?” will be of interest to anyone with knee and joint pain and that means one hundred million Americans will want to see this report! Nurse practitioner Evelyn Kikta from the Tarpon Spine and Medical Center and chiropractor Mike Marcell tell us about this FDA-approved injection.

     Our first special report is about the current method of giving CPR that does not involve mouth-to-mouth. Don’t miss this inspiring story of a couple in love. This one is better to watch than read so click here to see it on YouTube.

     The full length doctor’s interview this week is with Robert Andtbacka, MD, CM, Surgical Oncologist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City. He tells us how a herpes virus might fight cancer.

     Our final report is “Girls and Concussions” and we certainly need to know how to manage the risk every athlete is taking on. I know from personal experience that it won’t scare most off of a sport but it might make them a little safer.

And there's more where that came from...
