    Fabrice Muamba is improving and players call for better screening. My July 2011 DocTalk blog addressed the sudden death issue and what could be done

    Muamba’s collapse may be last week’s news but his resurrection from the dead continues to amaze. This week it’s all about dying and why dead isn’t always dead.

    Don't forget that I can be contacted through the website if you need background medical information about one of your stories.

    Cheers,

    It's all about explaining the medical stories in the news.
    The latest assignment for WebMD was understanding Whitney Houston's autopsy report.

    Kim Mulkey, the Baylor basketball coach, starts this week's article about Bell's Palsy but it's more about docs and patients using the same playbook

    The Bobby Petrino fiasco does provide good medical teaching points about what not to do as a trauma victim. He is this week's article inspiration.

    Even an earlier start for the Boston Marathon wasn't enough to make the heat go away. But the organizers got it right, warning runners about the dangers of the high temperatures and the risk of heat exhaustion and stroke. More about how the body cools itself in this week's DocTalk blog.

    Dwight Howard, back pain and why he needed immediate surgery.
    http://mddirect.org/blog/index.php?/archives/275-my-aching-back....and-surgery.html

    FY: Back pain is then reason for more than 6 million ER visits every year.
    2/3 of Americans will suffer significant back pain in their lifetime.
    No specific cause of the pain is found in 80% of patients

    Happy reading,

    Ben
