Now Playing 9 Things You Didn't Know About Grey's Anatomy It's been rumored for months that actress Jerrika Hinton might be taking leave of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital sometime this season, and the newest teaser for Grey's Anatomy's upcoming episode certainly paints a grim picture for her very near future on the show. Hinton, who's played Dr. Stephanie Edwards since the series' ninth season, is the focus of this clip from TVLine, which shows the halls of the hospital swarming with police as Chief Bailey (Chandra Wilson) frantically searches for Edwards while Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) laments his decision to leave Edwards with the apparently dangerous patient she's shown wheeling around. When it was first reported that Hinton might be leaving Grey's, the news was that she wouldn't return as a series regular, leaving open the possibility of her still coming in as a guest star. However, if this teaser is any indication, her departure might just be more final than anyone expected ... which wouldn't be too much of a surprise, given how murder-happy the Grey's writers have been with their medical staff over the years. Hinton is expected to star in Wes Ball's new HBO dramedy series, Here, … Continue reading →

Even the tiniest view of a surgical procedure can be too much for non-medical professionals, but for actual surgeons, more visibility is a real asset. But there is only so much to be seen with the naked eye, so medical navigation technology and mixed reality company Scopis has launched a new tool to give surgeons enhanced visibility when performing spinal surgery. By merging the capabilities of Microsoft HoloLens with their surgical navigation platform, Berlin, Germany and Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Scopis has developed the Holographic Navigation Platform. By donning a pair of the HoloLens glasses, surgeons can see a 3D overlay of the pre-planned positioning of screws, allowing the surgeon to interactively align their instruments with the holographic visualization and find the proper location more quickly. Additionally, surgeons can keep their eye on the operative field, and they can also used gestures to place virtual monitors onto their visual field. Scopis Holographic Navigation Platform is a universal solution that offers specific advantages for spinal surgeries and can also be applied in the many other areas where the highest levels of precision and speed are critical. In neurosurgery, for example, brain tumors could be located faster and with higher accuracy, Scopis CEO and … Continue reading →

The "Grey's Anatomy" Season 13 finale will be "very on fire." Literally? We'll see. Episode 24, "Ring of Fire" (hint, hint?) airs Thursday, May 18 with this synopsis: "The doctors' lives are at risk after a dangerous patient escapes the hospital room.

Executive producer Debbie Allen (Catherine Avery) directed the finale, and she told Entertainment Weekly, "There's actually two events going on at the same time that are pretty big that affect the entire hospital community.

She added that they'll "plant more seeds that fuel the fire for what is going to happen next season." Allen added, in a separate EW interview, "I think Season 14 is going to be spectacular.

Tropical spices have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Cardamom, the third most expensive spice in the world, is a reservoir of compounds that alleviate a variety of physiological discomforts. The recent pathetic self-congratulatory tone of the House Republicans with regards to their attempts to fashion a new healthcare act, is hopefully short-lived. In addition to potential procedural hurdles that the bill will likely face in the Senate, Republican senators have already expressed concern over language in parts of the bill. If the Senate passes a bill that is substantially different from the one passed by the House, then the bill would likely have to go back to the House. Historically, about 3% of bills introduced in Congress are enacted into law. The trajectory of the Affordable Care Act can be found at govtrack.us and is shown below [Note: the site is an independent site, and not a government siteit tracks bills and provides statistical analyses of legislation]. From the time of introduction of the bill, September 17, 2009, to it being approved by both the Senate and the House on March 20, 2010, Congress had convened for a total of 90 days. The current bill, H.R. 1628: American … Continue reading →

LANSING, Mich. (WILX) Its a tough crime to measure and a tough crime to prosecute. But Ingham Countys prosecutor says rape cases can be prevented with the right kind of education. Carol Siemon said, I think its huge, unless we change public perception, about what sexual assault looks like, cause I want to prevent it. Im not looking for successful prosecutions. Just weeks into her new reign as prosecutor, Siemon was handed two cases involving MSU football players. No charges have been issued in the first case, alleged in January. Charges in the second case, alleged in early April, were announced 2 weeks later. This has many people casting doubt about the first case, asking why its taking so long for the prosecutor to investigate. Prosecutor Siemon says its nothing new to her. She has years of experience prosecuting sexual assault. I think that we focus way too much on the victim, our laws do, our public perceptions do, on the victim's responsibility, and not on the person who is initiating the sexual activity. Siemon sits down with News 10s Ann Emmerich to talk about her philosophy on prosecuting sexual assault cases, and what she thinks can help prevent the … Continue reading →

On June 6, the multitalented Debbie Allen will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 42nd annual Gracie Awards Gala, hosted by The Real's Jeannie Mai. But if you're thinking that someone who has appeared on everything from Fame to The Love Boat to Grey's Anatomy (which Allen also directs) would be blas about this kind of recognition, you'd be wrong. "This is really exciting for me," Allen tells ELLE.com. "I don't get much time to look back and celebrate myself because there's always something to do or a fire to put out or a project to start. There's always so much to do. So it's a nice moment for me."

It wasnt as if he hadnt tried to warn them. For weeks, House Speaker Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha, had been telling anyone who would listen that the Republican majority in the House of Delegates would not go along with any state revenue or budget plan that included tax increases for the citizens of West Virginia. Our families are struggling to make ends meet, and this is absolutely the wrong time to burden them with hundreds of millions of dollars in additional taxes Armstead said. Apparently, neither Democratic Gov. Jim Justice nor Senate President Mitch Carmichael, R-Jackson, was listening. On Thursday, May 4, Justice called the Legislature into special session to consider revenue and tax reform measures aimed at passing a state budget. That revenue plan included raising the state sales tax from 6 to 7 percent, raising gasoline taxes and fees for services at the Division of Motor Vehicles and raising taxes on corporations and the very wealthy. When the special session began at 11 a.m. May 4, the revenue bill was not ready. But by mid-afternoon, a copy of the legislation had been filed. When the House of Delegates reconvened shortly after 5 p.m. following an afternoon break, delegates took … Continue reading →
