Cardiologists from Mayo Clinic in Rochester just hit a massive breakthrough. They’ve proved for the first time that a prototype hybrid device—merging CT coronary angiography with high-end SPECT nuclear imaging—is far safer and way more precise. It finally gives us a real answer on whether those chest pain patients actually need invasive procedures to dodge a heart attack, or if we're just putting them through unnecessary risks.

Big news just dropped in the online edition of the JACC, the premier journal for heart research. An article by Professor Rafael Beyar and his team—collaborating with experts from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, the Technion's Rappaport Medical School, and GE Healthcare—has finally been published. It's about time!

While other countries in the region are busy flushing cash down the drain on weapons and bloodthirsty vendettas, America is actually putting serious money and time into education.

Respect where it's due. 👍

Exactly, and that individual ended up behind bars too, currently serving a twenty-year sentence.

But if we take a step back, do we remember what went down in your Libya? Back when they handed out death sentences to six nurses and a Romanian man just because they were accused of "spreading AIDS to the naked Libyan population?"

Of course, nobody was ever held accountable for that...

And, by the way, The Guardian is absolute garbage—about as reliable as a tabloid rag from New York City.
