My American mate Karen received a serious bump to the noggin a few months back. She ended up in hospital for a couple of days, and suffered from vertigo for several weeks, until some expert came along and tilted her in just the right way to reposition some tiny things in her inner-ear. (No, I didn't make that up.)
I wouldn't normally disclose friends' personal medical details on Gruts, but Karen, being a science nut, has been tweeting quite happily about her experiences on Twitter. She has even changed her Twitter avatar to show herself wearing a crash-helmet. Yesterday, she went for a routine, precautionary brain-scan:
The MRI contrast dye is making me feel a little icky. 🙁

@friendsofdarwin Yes. I'll find a nice representative pic… you know, one where my brain looks ginormous.

@kejames You could have smiled!

A friend has a brain-scan, and, minutes later, she is sharing it like holiday snaps. We are living in the future.
