June 13, 2012 Doctors get a bad rap. Sure, no one likes to go to the physician's office to be poked or prodded, but when our bodies betray us, sometimes we're left with no choice.
June 6, 2012 Millions of people suffer from high blood pressure. It's estimated that 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. have it. Could there be a cure in our near future? The University of Pennsylvania is testing a new procedure that is helping people with high blood pressure when medications fail them.
