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.

Health airs Tuesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. on TVO,

Sparing the Womb
Although hysterectomies are still standard treatment for severe fibroid tumours, many doctors and patients have been looking for alternatives. We may have one.... a treatment that could spare the womb, if only government could spare the money.
Vaccines
Between talk of mass smallpox vaccinations, and the arrival of flu season, vaccines are in the news. Vaccines such as those for polio, smallpox and diptheria have saved millions of lives worldwide. Still, a small but vocal part of the population remains skeptical and leery of vaccines.
