Varicose
Veins
Although
varicose veins are usually a cosmetic problem, they can
be painful and sometimes dangerous. We look at the range
of treatments for them.
Obesity
and Eating Disorders
We
know that Canadian kids and adults are getting fatter, and
it's a huge health concern. But media headlines continue
to talk of "alarming" increases in eating disorders such
as anorexia and bulemia. We talk to two experts about where
we should focus our education and awareness programs.

November 13th
Fighting for Words
Imagine if every time you answered the phone, ordered from a menu, or interviewed for a job - you couldn't do what most of us take for granted. Get the words out. Three hundred thousand Canadians stutter and the experts still don't know what causes it. But a new intensive treatment is finally giving them the tools to fight for their words.
Medical Errors
Surgeons operating on the wrong body part, nurses giving the wrong medication, a fatal misdiagnosis. About 10-thousand Canadians die every year from medical mistakes, and that's just in hospitals.
