Within two-and-a-half hours of his admission [to the hospital], his appearance had changed entirely. From a moderately sized individual he had become an enormous, puffing, grunting balloon.

Or, if the patient is on the operating table with his abdomen or chest open, the surgeon may massage the heart into motion. Nonethe-less this stale medical story still looks like news and is printed, often on front pages a dozen times a year for the bench of those who cannot remember what they read...
