As a physician, Senator Frist has a moral calling to save lives and alleviate suffering. He joins Nancy Reagan, dozens of Nobel Laureates, thousands of scientists, and millions of patients across the nation in calling for an end to the restrictions that h...

Cancer patients are lied to, not just because the disease is (or is thought to be) a death sentence, but because it is felt to be obscene -- in the original meaning of that word: ill-omened, abominable, repugnant to the senses.

With tens of thousands of patients dying every year from preventable medical errors, it is imperative that we embrace available technologies and drastically improve the way medical records are handled and processed.

While we do not know for sure, we speculate that Viagra`s recent use as a `drug of abuse` may have caused the FDA to request broader studies in (non-erectile dysfunction) patients,

When we walked through (Monday) we saw a large, metropolitan hospital ... and patients not only receiving care but receiving the social services that they needed,

We knew there were certain kidney cancer patients who responded to this drug, but we didn`t know the mechanism behind the response. We had to determine the mechanism of response so we could identify the responders.
