Hello, I'm from Technology, and I'm here to help.

I won't be surprised if my doctor friends cringe a bit at the implications of an article lionizing interventionist patients (or spouses thereof, in this case), nor if I find there's more to it than slashdot's summary, but ah what the heck, this looks friggin cool. The future, y'all. The future.

Minus the 3-D printer part, this is actually an experience my family has had with doctors. Not with tumors, but with other ailments needing argument. So it's perfectly believable to me, just not ideal—I'd rather have my doctors always know better! That's what med school is for!
