  11. Decline on autopsies may obscure understanding of disease

    Television crime shows have helped popularize autopsies, but in reality these postmortem exams are becoming rarer every year. Today, hospitals <a href=&quot;http://http://archive.ahrq.gov/clinic/epcsums/autopsum.htm">perform autopsies</a> on only about 5 percent of patients who die, down from roughly 50 percent in the 1960s. That's unfortunate, say experts, because details about the cause of death can be illuminating for both families and hospitals, even if they don't turn up an undiagnosed ailment or other new information about the cause of death.

  17. My Turn: Touched by another human's touch

    I was deeply shaken to learn I had hypopharyngeal cancer. As a physician, I had access to my hospital's laboratory results, so I took a shortcut: Rather than wait for my surgeon to call me, I looked for my name in my hospital's pathology laboratory log book.

  19. Sam Chwat dies at 57; actors lost, and learned, accents under dialect coach's tutelage

    Sam Chwat was a master of accents who taught Robert De Niro  to talk like an Appalachian ex-convict, Olympia Dukakis to talk like a Holocaust survivor and Peter Boyle to talk like a bigot from the Deep South. A modern-day Henry Higgins, he also trained some actors to lose accents, helping Julia Roberts drop her native Georgia drawl and Tony Danza his distinctive Brooklynese. Chwat even turned his training on himself, muting his own &quot;Noo Yawk" accent to prevent clients from miming the wrong cues.
