Physicians use leech in surgery
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — They might be ugly little suckers, but medicine is finding much to love about leeches.
Long considered a symbol of the medical dark ages, leeches are wrigling their way into the modern operating room because of their ability to help save damaged skin and appendages by siphoning blood causing congestion.
Two leeches helped save the index finger of a Kansas City man in November after his hand was crushed in a construction accident. Leeches helped in reattaching the ear of a boy in St. Louis. And a doctor in Boston used them to prevent the loss of a woman's nipple after breast survery.
"People who use (leeches) don't need convincing. They say they are the greatest thing since sliced bread," said Dr. Rosellen Meystrik, who is studying the use of leeches on wounds at the University of Missouri School of Medicine.
Leeches have been used in Europe for nearly a decade and have been used in the last five years in the United States, where a growing number of plastic surgeons have found they ease the complications of delicate microsurgery.
Leeches USA Ltd, of Long Island, N.Y., the sole medicinal leech supporter, is sold nearly 10,000 leeches in a year to physicians and researchers.

"It was amazing," he said. "They have this little suction cup on their bottom. And they just open up and stick right to your finger."
In November, leeches were applied to the finger of 37-year-old James Muff, Kansas City resident, after a finger that had been ripped from his hand in a construction accident was reattached.

"Besides using the Mac for the usual, like writing papers and creating a resume, I've learned to write programs for it. The great thing about the Mac is that it lets you know when you've make a mistake and what it is. Other computers don't. So you save coultless hours correcting errors."
"The Macintosh" saves time and headaches. I've used lots of different computers and Macintosh is the best of all of them. It's easier. It does more.
Karen Maginn of Omaha, NE, is majoring in Mathematics. "Computers will always be a part of my life, and for now Macintosh $ ^{\mathrm{TM}} $ is my choice."
"I'm a math major and computers will probably always be a part of my life. But I don't want them to be my life. That's why I want a computer that's easy to use and hard to make mistakes on. My first choice for a career? Something important at IBM. But for now, my first choice in computers is Macintosh."
