'Doctors on Call' Telemedicine Under Way At the Clinical Center By Carla Garnett
It used to be a big problem if you were
here and your doctor were there. One or the other would have
to travel for you to get the best care. What if you were too
sick to travel, or your doctor couldn't leave other
patients, or you needed a specialist halfway across the
country? An extension of the technology that gave birth to
face-to-face video conferenced business meetings is quickly
becoming a solution.
Comparatively Mild Challenge By Rich McManus
When NIH licensing specialist and patent
advisor John Fahner-Vihtelic journeyed to Antarctica Feb. 18
to participate in what some call the most difficult race on
Earth -- the Antarctica Marathon -- it was far from the most
grueling physical trial he has ever endured in life. Not by
a longshot. | ||||
