Who Benefits from Late Night Radiology Shifts?

According to astudy published in theJournal of the American College of Radiology, tired radiologists working late at night spend more time on cases and miss more abnormalities than radiologists working during the day.Health care facilities are requiring radiologists to generate image reports at faster rates in order to speed up patient turn around and expedite their time in emergency rooms.

New test results and other bits of news
As you may recall, my April “andrographolide” results were disappointing, although some MM markers did improve. But my IgG jumped up quite a bit.
But now, incredibly, in just three months, and in spite of ALL the stress I’ve been under in the past weeks, my new, August test results are, well, excellent!!! My IgG has gone down to less than it was in 2012. Obviously, it’s still high, but it’s back to where I prefer it to be.

Cloning, CRISPR and gene editing, synthetic life forms, and longevity. The latest scientific discoveries are able to offset the natural order of human existence and meddle with sacred questions of life and death.
