...then he made a fatal mistake. He decided to give Ardman epinephrine, a drug that would certainly raise the patient's blood pressure but that, in combination with the dopamine Ardman had already received, would also spike his heart rate and possibly kill him. Sure enough, after epinephrine was administered, the patient lost consciousness and drifted toward death - although just before he died, the simulation ended...
...weight, which she would need to measure the dopamine increase. She moved to pick up Ardman's chart, which listed his weight, but just then the simulator's blood pressure dropped radically, prompting Monica to make the same error that Thomas had made: she went for epinephrine. After the drug sent Ardman into ventricular tachycardia, Monica was fast enough to shock him with the defibrillator. But this time poor Mr. Ardman died before the experiment ended. The expert had killed Ardman even faster than the novice...
...ethnic Indians make up less than 10% of Malaysia's electorate. For the opposition to really score big, it must lure more Malays and Chinese. In previous elections, the opposition Islamist party PAS has had some success portraying its religious values as an antidote to rising crime and drug use.

This election season, PAS's green-and-white flags flutter throughout...

In the course of writing about the place, I have interviewed government spooks who track the country's illicit arms trade, as well as its counterfeiting and drug-running businesses. I have also written about legitimate South Korean businessmen who have invested there, hoping it's a low-wage alternative to China. And I have followed the seemingly endless permutations of Washington's fitful efforts to convince Pyongyang to give up its nuclear program. When, defiantly, North Korea set off a nuclear device in October 2006, I wrote a cover story...
...totalitarian government which micromanages every aspect of society. In Cuba, anyone who questions the validity of this information pays a price. Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet was sentenced to 25 years in prison after revealing the government’s practice of chemically inducing abortions through the use of a drug Rivanol, which causes fetuses to come out dead or die within hours of birth. These abortions were systematically performed in the event of a high risk pregnancy to reduce the number of early neonatal deaths—when an infant dies within seven days of birth—which...
