The day in late 2020 Bob Senzig thought would be his last is still a haze and probably always will be. He remembers a doctor at a hospital in the resort town of Los Cabos, Mexico, talking on the phone with the crew of a medical evacuation jet coming to take him back home, to an emergency room at a U.S. hospital. But to get on board, he was told, the 66-year-old GE retiree would have to be intubated, a procedure that would require him to be unconscious. Make your phone calls quickly, the doctor told him.

Stretched out on gurneys, their gaunt, desiccated bodies slid quietly through the still, empty corridors. The workers wanted to keep the visit under the wraps. Mummies, after all, can give the living the shivers.

Digital Medicine: How Can AI Help You?

February 17, 2017

Before Albert Hsiao became a radiologist, he didn’t know performing electrical measurements in the cerebellum of rats or learning about neural networks in college would be relevant to caring for patients today. This year, the start-up he helped co-found received FDA-approval for its first Deep Learning product in the cardiac imaging space. Not only can technology like this help tackle the looming doctor shortage, it provides "some hope for us to return to our roots as medical doctors" and "to be better listeners," Hsiao writes.

Beam Me Up, Herve: This Engineer Helped Design A CT Machine That Accelerates To 70 Gs [Video]

December 01, 2016
When the first group of American astronauts started training for space flight in the 1950s, Air Force doctors put them through a number of wrenching trials. In one, they had to endure many multiples of the force of gravity we experience at sea level — or G-force. John Glenn experienced 7.9 Gs during his first orbital flight, and others briefly went as high as 32 Gs on Houston’s infamous G Machine. “You couldn't lift your arm out of the couch above about 6 or 7 Gs,” Glenn told a historian. “Beyond that you were just supported there.”
