  1. Christopher Shinn's plays explore what victims do next

    NEW YORK — David Mamet has his hustlers, Edward Albee his domestic warriors, Tony Kushner his brilliant self-flagellators. If playwright Christopher Shinn has a signature character, it is the manipulative victim — the half-sympathetic, half-deplorable sort of person whose suffering is real but who uses it as rationale for bad behavior.

  5. Living near traffic linked to increased cancer risk in children

    Researchers have already uncovered worrying signs that exposure to traffic &ndash; and the vehicle emissions that come with it &ndash; can increase a child&rsquo;s risk of developing <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-traffic-pollution-asthma-children-20130321,0,3190067.story">asthma</a> and <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2012/nov/26/news/la-heb-autism-traffic-pollution-20121126">autism</a>.

  6. Poll: Should doctors tell terminally ill patients they're dying?

    As my colleague Melissa Healy <a href="http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-heb-physicians-terminal-patients-20130424,0,1331439.story">noted</a> Thursday, a British medical journal recently invited doctors who specialize in end-of-life care to debate whether patients should be told that they're terminally ill. Two London-based palliative care doctors argued <a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f2589">in favor of disclosure</a>, writing that it was "essential to decision-making" in addition to being the most ethical approach. The head of the palliative care section of the University of Virginia School of Medicine, meanwhile, <a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f2560">asserted</a> that telling patients they were terminal was "a failed model for medical decision making that creates more suffering than it relieves."

  7. Fukushima nuclear disaster adds only small health risks, WHO says

    The 9.0-magnitude Tohoku-Oki earthquake and resulting tsunami that triggered a meltdown at Japan&rsquo;s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station has resulted in only a small increase in lifetime cancer risks for people living nearby, and an even smaller risk for populations outside of Japan, according to a new report from the World Health Organization.

  11. Susan Love, doctor/patient

    And now, she is the patient. For decades, as a surgeon, researcher, professor and medical celebrity of sorts, Susan Love has led the charge against breast cancer and for women's health. She served on President Clinton's cancer advisory board. She set up a research foundation. Her book on breast cancer is on the short shelf for clinicians and counselors. And last June, when, like so many women, she was feeling and doing fine, the diagnosis came. Except it wasn't breast cancer but leukemia. The woman who has battled one kind of cancer on behalf of millions of women finds herself fighting another kind, on her own
