...urging, Saeed agreed to put Andrea on Haldol, but discontinued the treatment after only a few weeks because he thought her "flat face" might be a side effect. In a pretrial hearing last month, Saeed testified that he partly based his treatment decision on the limited responses of a patient who rarely spoke. "I had not seen any evidence of psychosis," he testified, referring to medical files, "and I have a notation that she had denied hallucinations and delusions." (Saeed has declined comment to the press, citing a gag order.) Saeed said she never opened up to him about...
Sure enough, Bennett, while a warm and enthusiastic paramour, is not a patient one. "You don't get more than three takes," laughs Costello after recording Are You Havin' Any Fun? (and watching his wife Diana Krall record The Best Is Yet to Come) at Bennett's Englewood, N.J., studio. After three takes of Cold, Cold Heart, the Hank Williams song Bennett took to No. 1 in 1951, producer Phil Ramone asks Tim McGraw, "You want one more?" McGraw, who can't stop confessing his nerves, says, "I want 20 more." Bennett looks momentarily ill. "If Tim wants...
...always easy to listen to Senators bloviating. Yet last week Ben Bernanke, the mild-mannered economist who is approaching his six-month mark as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, looked as focused as a patient parent listening to a child. Tom Carper, a Senator from Delaware, took note of Bernanke's attentiveness. One departed Cabinet secretary, Carper said, used to appear before Congress and "sit there with papers spread all around him and read this and that." Not Bernanke. "You listen to everyone," Carper said in amazement. And so Carper couldn't help bringing up the obvious question: "What...
...Briton--and now Singapore resident--Alan Colman, who was part of the British team that cloned Dolly the sheep in 1996. ESI manufactures its own embryonic-stem-cell lines and is working on shaping those cells into insulin-producing pancreatic tissue and cardiac muscle, which could be given to patients suffering from diabetes or heart disease. It's exactly the kind of potentially profitable research Singapore wants, and the company hopes to begin clinical trials next year. As with most stem-cell work at Biopolis, the focus at ESI is on building a broad business. Rather than designing patient-specific...
...nurse calling me about this patient was a good one, but she was nervous. The patient was a well-groomed, 62-year-old tennis player who had given huge sums to the hospital's building campaign. Roger was young and active for a hip fracture; male patients don't usually get them just by falling. He saw his doctor regularly and was healthy. He was, in fact, a friend of my family. His hip surgery had gone very well, but here he was on the second post-op day, going - as we say in hospitals - down the tubes. We know...
