WASHINGTON (AP) — Dr. Demetrius Lopes snaked a thin wire with a tiny magnet on its tip into an artery in Paul Kelsey's groin and threaded it all the way up into his brain.
Aided by a helmet-shaped magnet hung over Kelsey's head, Lopes guided the wire through twists and turns deep in the brain, finally reaching swollen blood vessels that were giving the Chicago man double vision. A few squirts of glue to seal off the excess blood flow, and Lopes pulled the wires back out — surgery done.
Normally, curing Kelsey's disorder would require operating through a hole drilled in his skull .... <p>*** In your opinion, does this story -- however medically valid and newsworthy it may be -- pass the readers' "choke on their Cheerios" test?
