These meet-and-greets present risks to all parties involved. Dr. Santiago Gallo, a gastroenterologist who has treated dolphins in Mexico, reports cases in which dolphins have swallowed keys, a swimming cap and even a disposable diaper. Worse, critics charge that several dolphins have died prematurely at Manati because of toxic waters. Responds Javier Moreno, the owner of Manati: "If there are deaths, this is not a surprise. These are animals. There is a cycle of life. They die. They are born." He plans to expand the facility and add five dolphins to the roster next year...

It was the ultra-Orthodox Hasids they despised, with their side curls and apparent self-righteousness. Neighbors warned that the Orthodox wanted to turn Beachwood into a medieval "ghetto...
...there's blood in the stool or the sigmoidoscopy reveals a problem, a more thorough exam is required. (A positive stool test indicates cancer less than 10% of the time.) In a procedure called a colonoscopy, a gastroenterologist uses a light-tipped fiber-optic instrument to examine the entire length of the large intestine. Since you're sedated, the hardest part is often drinking the salty liquid needed to evacuate your bowels the night before...
