What is generally not well known, however, is that Carson was considered to be an expert, although self-taught, surgeon whose advice and treatment was sought throughout the West. Kit Carson Carson’s surgical career started when he assisted on his first amputation at the age of 16, a forearm amputation done on muledriver Andrew Broaddus. He was considered particularly adept at removing Indian arrowheads buried deep in the flesh and taught a technique for removing arrowheads that were still attached to the shaft that counselled grabbing the protruding shaft, pushing it forward until the arrow pier...

Perhaps a government oversight committee will open an independent investigation to get to the truth of the matter, and ensure soldiers are receiving the care they need.

Burk, a 17-year-old Los Angeles girl, was in the Wilshire Place neighborhood picking up paperwork for her mother, who taught at the Southwestern University School of Law. About 3 in the afternoon on a quiet street, Burk was approaching her car when she was confronted by a 50-year-old transient staying in a nearby drug treatment center… Read the rest on AOL: Lily Burk: Sweet 17. and Dead.

With the passing of Michael Jackson (music, mostly in the 1980s), Farrah Fawcett (movies), and Ed McMahon (The Tonight Show and Star Search), the world has lost some significant talent. Each, in their own way, contributed something special and unique to their field. You couldn’t have grown up in the 1980s and not been affected by Michael Jackson’s music (regardless of whether you liked him or not, doubtless one of your friends or girlfriend/boyfriend did). The later recriminations against Michael Jackson and his alleged interest in young boys no doubt will tarnish his otherwise popular rock career. Farrah Fawcett was, for better or worse, an icon of female ...

The patient will be awake while he and doctors rewire healthy parts of his brain and remove diseased parts. Did you know, by the way, that the brain itself does not feel pain – which is why a patient can be awake to help doctors by responding to what they can or cannot do – as they operate? Writer Andy Rieger quoted the brain patient after the operation… “It’s amazing to me what kind of stuff I’m getting back. At first, I couldn’t walk or talk. It’s much better now,” Carson said.Brandon Carson had always enjoyed health and was quite shocked to find a tumor, seizure...
