By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyFor a moment in time, she was pediatric resident Dr. Marnie Rose at Memorial Hermann in Houston. I got to know her a little during my first, tumultuous year of recovery from ovarian cancer. Dr. Rose was on TV. Back in those days I was combing the schedule for any reality show that slithered its way to the tube. There among the dreck of the early 2000s (guilty pleasures "Mr. Personality," et al., I'm looking at you) was the lovely Ms. Rose in "Houston Medical," an ABC show that featured doctors, patients and their families. The program, shot over the course of a year, ran for six episodes in ...

Israel Admits Harvesting Organs Without Permission
By not in system - AOL NewsJERUSALEM (Dec. 21) - Israel has admitted that in the 1990s, its forensic pathologists harvested organs from dead bodies, including Palestinians, without permission of their families. The issue emerged with publication of an interview with the then-head of Israel's Abu Kabir forensic institute, Dr. Jehuda Hiss.

Israel hotly denied the charge. Parts of the ...

As the health reform tornado continues to swirl on Capitol Hill, the data could provide fresh ammunition for ...
