Subject: [Leica] Don Rickles, Stents and Or/NICU photos

Man - you should see the new stents, you Hockey Puck! as Don R would say
;-)-- plastic embedded with clot and plaque busting enzymes that last for
years. !0 - 20x smaller in some cases, surgery is outpatient. Remarkable!
Cheaper as well. Someday grafts will be done on an emergency basis only. My
wife is a neonatologist - sometimes these are used in pre-matures (sometimes
elsewhere in the body). Talk about a new book. How about a photo essay about
what goes on in Children's Hospital Boston's NICU. To see a 500 gram human
infant held in one hand is a sad, yet remarkable sight. To show the same
child a few years later is even more breathtaking - it will bring tears to
your eyes - honest. If I had the time, I'd jump on it.
