>> dr. clearly he was. >> without a doubt. >> reporter: but don't forget, the defense has its own star forensic pathologist on standby, dr. michael baden. >> i expected to go out there. i was told i was going to go out and testify. >> reporter: but as the trial progresses, bohana and his family, including ex-wife sheila, whom he's still close to, are mystified. where is dr. baden? >> why isn't he calling dr. baden? everybody else put on their people. >> reporter: you think dr. baden would have made a difference? >> oh, indeed. the world's greatest pathologist? my gosh. >> reporter: but harlan braun never calls dr. baden. in fact, braun doesn't call a single expert witness. and in a curious gamble, he decides to put the defendant don bohana himself on the stand. >> every defense attorney knows how risky it is to call a defendant to the witness stand. >> reporter: sure enough, the prosecutor takes apart bohana for his drunken actions that morning, like blurting out the wrong address to 911 and

dr. amato: dr. turk! down here.xploratory laparotomy this afternoon. yeah, it's 'cause i--i--i had to do-- it's because i'm short. you're not short. look, i know i'm the surgical assignment booby prize, ok, but if my only other choice is being stuck in that stupid boys club, i'd rather have them all make fun of me. what could they possibly make fun of you-- stop it! all i'm saying is that it's possible to be a good surgeon without playing their game, ok? you're really short. i know. no, dr. murray, i don't want any fries to go with this shake. i don't even know what that means. excuse me, dr. reid. what? what, you want to ask me how many ceiling tiles i've counted this week? or maybe you just want to call me a name like "tramp" or "ho" or "slesident," which apparently is half slut and half resident. no. then what is it, noelle? what do you want? i just wanted to know where the g-spot is. the what spot? and for the hundredth time, you're right. you had absolutely nothing to do with me getting involved in this mrs. bu

dr. cox and jordan are still looking for a pediatrician. this time, try not to scare off the doctor. i did not scare off the last guy. you bit him. i tripped, and my teeth hit his shoulder. uh-huh, and once that happened, did you clamp down a little bit? jordan? oh, you come on! well, he had a bad attitude. [in child's voice] so, zachary, remember what mr. cookiepants always says about blowing your nose, ♪ if it's clear, have no fear ♪ ♪ if it's bloody, come see your buddy ♪ [sternly] what do you want? well, we're looking for a new pediatrician for our son. and you figured that even though my patient load is full, since you're on the board of directors and dr. cox here is not only an attending at the hospital but also an internationally renowned pain in the ass, you both could show complete disregard for my schedule and make me want to cause you grievous bodily harm even before we've been properly introduced. hello. i'm dr. norris. charmed. j.d.: like i said, same old, same old. [squeaks]

so dr sorry is that a good solution and dr ken i'd love your thoughts as well afterwards whatever they explored has spoken so i can't help but agree with them. that is needed i think we almost have no strict regulations around baffin ones that we need to reverse the and what a body needs and then why mental in general so we definitely need triple regulations there if you want to tackle antibiotic resistance in india. but i don't want to go on and yet maybe i thought oh yeah go ahead dr ken because obviously that's not a problem that you know faces us here in america as you were referring to approx only in puerto rico now where they're dealing with of course sewage problems of her own but is that do you think in the spectrum of all the problems is that a big one i think yeah i think over the counter purchase which is a complicated issue because it's over the counter for the convenience and the cost savings for the patient there is an advantage to the patient being to buy it i think that's gargantuan and i think the other is. plumbing issues you know people talking about who. i think it'

dr. cox. petey.ver: sometimes, when you're in an awkward situation, the best thing to do is go to your happy place. well, it's not uncommon. i think a lot of people keep "plants" in their apartment. right, j.d.? oh, jay, you're so crazy! [playing horrible guitar riff] we have a little history, yeah. what's up his pooper? actually, i think he's mad 'cause i went into private practice, and he's stuck in this hellhole. you wouldn't believe this, but that guy was my mentor, man. i mean, i lived and breathed for that guy's approval. that's lame. i know. once you learn the tricks, though, he's easier to deal with. you'll see. tell me about it. heh heh heh! no, i'm serious. tell me about it. oh. oh. uh, well, you know, when he gets on his rants, he gets all hyped up, his veins start sticking out of his neck, and he starts yelling at you... when he's done, just look at him, stare him right in the eye and say, "i'm sorry. what were you saying?" i don't know why, but it works. trust me. oh, i do. now, how do y

dr. don carleton, executive director of the university of texas at austin's dolph briscoe center for american history. thank you for speaking with us. >> delighted to be here. >> why was it important to create a photojournalism collection? dr. carleton: well, news and documentary photography, while the intent is to record the news, also produces valuable historic evidence. these are visual documents that can be read just like a diary or a letter or any text or artifact. so we wanted to include photographs in our holdings that document and provide evidence of the past. we began this initiative about 25 years ago, because the archives of news photographers and/or for journalists, which photojournalists, whatever you want to call them, are basically being ignored by most museums, who were more interested in art photography. since we've started, we have amassed a collection of the archives of more than 40 photographers. and when i say and archives, we are talking about definitive collections

dr. ann mckee, dr. bob tern and dore chris nowinski said they have a marketedly increase of mood disorders like depression and this research has found langage between head mpacts and c.t.e., a degenerative brain disease. these researchers examined the brains of 111 deceased national football league players whose families chose to donate their brains and 110 of the deceased players suffered from c.t.e. during their lifetimes. i'm pleased we're joined by all three of these researchers who are conducting critically important research. their research must be considered by athletic associations and others, including congress, as we look for real solutions to this devastating disease and i thank them for their invaluable contribution to this area and look forward to hearing more today. beyond this research, there are a number of unanswered questions about what risk factors make individuals more susceptible to these debilitating conditions. we need to understand what happens to the brain when it

dr. faulkner:? -- dr. faulker: i would go to tom hansen for that answer, but we have some similar problems. you have that rapid transition from peacetime to wartime. dr. hansen has written a book on this that i highly recommend, though it is probably not as bad as what some of the accounts have made it out to be, but we have always had that problem. the national security statement we have today is really only a product of that mid-1950's to the present. if you look at american wars prior to that, we are never really prepared for what we are facing. in the case of world war i and world war ii, as we are learning these lessons, we are going up against guys that have been doing it for a wild, and they , anding it for a while they beat on us quite a bit before we figure it out -- we are going up against guys that have been doing it for a while. >> it seems to me that it met with a modicum of success, but it seems to me after that, not knowing what had really passed on -- am i right? dr. faulkner: the dilemma t

over the course of dr ron paul's political career he has served as a republican and libertarian dr paul and jesse have opposing views on many issues they're both members of a third party they've both served in the u.s. military and neither support foreign intervention and asked then they had a lot to talk about dr ron paul that is a hall facing for joining me a subject i want to get with you on is one that i know is close to both of us and we really sit on the same side it's a simple subject cold war i was in mexico last winter when when they fired the rockets into syria and i came back to the country going did i miss something when did we allow the president to shoot what was it sixty rockets i forget the number in two or another sovereign nation without a declaration of war and the country applauded the wheels it was a lot of it and i thought what is going wrong with the united states of america when you have to have the congress vote to go to war and now we arbitrarily allow our president out a we're moving can fire in fifty rockets and says they're for peace and you should never see

dr. collins and dr. gottieb, you both emphasized this today is that is the nonb addictive pain medications. you said 25 million americans live with some pain every day as they would in the hospital. is that, between 0 and 10, what degree of pain do they have? is the the minimum or is it 3, 4, or 5, 7, 8, or 9. >> it's sufficient to interfere with a life on a quality basis. those are people that have daily pain that interferes with their daily experience. >> well, that's 1 out of every 12 americans the. >> yes, sir. >> and a larger number have pain. >> sure. and on a more acute basis. >> and you said as i mentioned in my opening statement, i think we were all struck by your testimony when we were working on the cures legislation, and it had an impact about the medical miracles that are headed our way. we sufficiently fund biomedical research, and then we move treatments and cures through the investment regulatory process fast enough to get in the hands of people. so let's take nonaddictive pain medicine.

first, dr. mccants cats. related to substance abuse and mental health, dr. deborah howri. dr. francis collins, director of the national institutes of health since 2009. and dr. scott gotlieb, commissioner of the fda confirmed in may of this year. dr. mccantz, we'll begin with you, and please summarize your comments in about five minutes. >> thank you, senator alexander. chairman alexander, ranking member murray and members of the senate health education and pensions committee thank you for inviting me to testify at this important hearing. i'm honored to testify today along with my colleagues from the department of health and human services on the federal response to the opioid crisis. over the past 15 years communities across our nation have been devastated by increasing prescription and illicit opioid adistribution, overdose. in 2016 over 11 million americans misused prescription opioids. nearly 1 million used heroin and 2 .1 had an opioid use disorder due to prescription opioids. most alarming are the increase in overdose deaths especially the increase in deaths involving il

dr. cheng is so patient. i love the tapes 'cause he takes his time, and he tells you if you have a little balance problem to hold on to a chair, which i did in the beginning. i was shocked at how easy it was to master. dr. cheng developed a unique teaching method that explains in a way that anyone can understand. >> now you're holding a ball. don't hold this to your body like so but hold it off your body rounded. >> he kind of "americanized" learning t'ai chi. you get three viewing angles and a simple foot-placement grid so you know where your feet are gonna go. it's foolproof. believe me, if i can do it, anybody can do it. take it from a guys whose been dealing with aches and pains for over 40 years, it works and i love it. >> so as soon as you started doing tai cheng, what's the thing you noticed the first? >> balance was the first thing and the flexibility. it's amazing how much that's helped me. and my core. i'm looser in there. as a matter of fact, i'm so loose here now. it's amazing

before we begin, dr. me to remind you of the legal ramifications of all your teensy snafus. teensy snafus? good god, ted, it's not a dr. seuss story. now listen up, nametags. over 50% of our lawsuits can be traced back to poor patient-doctor communication. to that end, if any of you still feel the need to flap your babble holes, you will be joining me in my new daily seminar on doctor-patient relations. my first invitee will be dr. murphy whom i recently overheard telling someone "stop bleeding. stop bleeding. oh, god, please stop bleeding." it was a gusher. next catastrophe. idiots. i hate him so much. save it for our weekend bike ride. dr. cox, would you like to try one of my world famous deviled eggs? no, thank you. i've already had diarrhea. carla. i just wanted to see how you were, uh... it's always tough when you have to bury your own mom, isn't it? mm-hmm. what was your mother's funeral like? wouldn't know. skipped it. but my aunt told my father it was very moving. ha ha ha. oh, gosh.

dr. mobley. i just want to say, i'm sure you are aware of this. when we decided to do this hearing, of course one of the first people i talked to was pete sgses -- sessions and he immediately said, this is the guy you have to have. you have to have dr. mobley and come and share. we're delighted you took the come and you're recognized for remarks you ng want to make. dr. mobley: i want to thank you for the opportunity of talking about down syndrome research. i want to make the case this is an enormously positive time in our history in science. we have the power to really understand the genes and mechanisms that cause the problems people with down syndrome have and we have that same power to understand how to prevent. they are going to teach us a lot. there's absolutely no one in this room that should ever have to suffer from alzheimer's disease. we're all there. all of us are susceptible to this. and i am going to make the case that an investment in research in down syndrome is going to ma

dr. the listed ulvestad for his testimony. thank you. dr. james ulvestad i'm acting : assistant director for mathematical and physical science directors at the national science foundation and thank you for the opportunity to testify today. i want to focus my remarks on the large scale out reach associate would with the eclipse. as you said, august 21 was an exciting day for citizens and scientists alike, as our nation was center stage for the total solar eclipse, the first since 1979 in the continental u.s.. so scientists and spectators , from around the world gathered across this country to witness this extraordinary event. the eclipse was a total solar eclipse, where direct sunlight was blocked for over two minutes when the moon covered the sun. it made its way from oregon to south carolina, eliminating it 70 mile wide path across 14 states. the rest of the continental u.s. experienced a percentage of a partial eclipse during the 90 minute traverse across the country. is the basis for life on earth. it's magnetic field and atmosphere fuel

absolutely astonished by the words from dr martinez. all i have seen is police beating all people people who were sitting on the floor was peacefully entering schools where kids and families where they're just sitting down to prevent ballot boxes from being taken away using absolutely. proportionate violence type of violence that i've seen in other places in the world and you would never expect in your country and the images i've seen and the ones i'm speaking inside the schools there were no people from outside no groups who had come from other parts of spain or europe at all saying that this is proportion and it's not only being unfair but it really worries me about lot can someone who thinks disproportionate and feel that it's a police role in a democratic state because if this is what day believe it's proportion and against citizens i think we really have a problem as a country and as i want to bring you in here because the same that we have seen so far in our news rooms have been violence carried out by security forces so if i can

dr. zubrikan. >> well, thanks, everybody. it's really a pleasure to be here with you today, to celebrate this pioneering moment for both nasa and for exploration history of himg hum, happy anniversary to voyager. yes. of course you know that on september 5, four decades ago in 1977, nasa launched the voyager 1 space craft, only a little over eight years to the blast off to apollo 11, voyager was and still is, to me the apollo 11 of space science, it's a mission that changed everything. it not only change whads we kt but how we think. it's about redefining what we can and cannot do as humans. imagine this fall, children all around the region, around the country going to school, getting their schoolbooks and looking at these pictures in these books and looking at, especially the pictures of the planets. many of these pictures, of course, are pretty young. mercury has pretty cool pictures, i know because i was on the messenger mission, as you just heard, you take images there, you go look at

dr. frances collins. the dr. of the national institutes of health, which he calls the national institutes of hope. he has predicted the development of an artificial pankrious, grown from patient's own skin cells, and nonaddictive pain killers. nonaddictive ways to treat pain could be medical devices or drugs. while there is an urgent need for this, it is not at all a new idea. in 1928 what became known as the committee on drug dependence, formed pursuit of a nonadilktive pain killer. we all know the importance of dealing with pain. we were having a conversation just before the hearing. one report according to collins says 25 million americans live with pain every day so this is not to minimize the number of americans who need some form of help relieving pain. i want to hear today about the public, private partnership that the national institutes of health is leading and what to do to make sure the opioids are prioritized appropriately and get -- i've heard people who have prod lucts in pa

dr. nosek. because my five minutes is how we got to why his research became so important. in my testimony i provide the evidence and with great respect to senator peters, i have to say there is, i'm afraid simply no evidence that economic growth or technological growth that leads into economic growth is in any way benefitted by the federal funding of science. it is widely believed the government should fund science. it's based on the model of what science is i regret is unscientific and in my testimony i hope i've shown clearly that in this government and no other government needs it for economic reasons. i'm not going to revisit it. i'm going to accept that's what governments do. they fund science and what they do in consequence is they impose a particular model on science, which is called the linear model, which is actually has a history of 400 years. it was first prescribed by frances bacon 400 years ago in england and the model says, very much as senator peters suggested and dr. nosic

i want to, dr. kim, see if we could just jump over the social capital for a moment and talk about examples of social capital and how the world bank is looking at these issues and whether it's universal suffrage, whether it's the rule of law, education, health care, we've spoken about. and these different issues of social capital. you've spoken about human capital, merely driven heavily by education, improving the length and quality of life, the food chain, et cetera. how do you think about social capital? because in many ways you are the judge of this issue in the world today. >> you know, we're in a very specific place because the founders of the breton woods institutions actually built it into the articles of agreement of the world bank group that we cannot get involved in the internal political affairs of countries. so we walk a fine line. and every time we have data we present it. so this is why i feel free to present the human capital data. there's a tremendous amount of data showing that rule
