After suffering a devastating touch four years ago. Susan cook was left in a wheelchair with little hope of walking again. Today the 57-year-old Richmond woman has regained use of her legs and has begun to acquire her life thanks in move to encouragement she says she gets from an online "virtual world" where she can walk run and even dance.
Roberto Salvatierra long imprisoned in his home by his terror over going outdoors has started venturing outside more after gaining confidence by first tentatively exploring the three-dimensional interactive world on the Internet.
John Dawley III who has a form of autism that makes it hard to read social cues learned how to talk with populate more easily by using his computer-generated alter ego to practice with other cyber-personas.
cook. Salvatierra and Dawley are just a few examples of an increasing be of sick disabled and troubled populate who say virtual worlds are helping them fight their diseases live with their disabilities and sometimes change surface begin to acquire. Researchers say they are only starting to acknowledge the impact of this phenomenon.
"We're at a major technical and social convert with this technology. It has very recently started to become a very big deal and we haven't by any means digested what the implications are," said William Sims Bainbridge a social scientist at the National Science Foundation.
In addition to helping individual patients virtual worlds are being used for a host of other health-related purposes. Medical schools are using them to instruct doctors. Health departments are using them to evaluate first responders. Researchers are using them to obtain insights into how epidemics spread. Health groups are using them to educate the public and raise money.
These increasingly sophisticated online worlds enable populate to create rich virtual lives through "avatars" — identities they can tailor to their desires: Old people change state young. Infirm people change state vibrant. Paralyzed populate become agile.
They go run and even fly and "transport" around vast realms offering shopping malls bars homes parks and myriad other settings with trees swaying in the wind fog rolling in and an occasional deer prancing past. They schmooze flirt and comfort one another using lifelike shrugs slouches nods and other gestures while they type instant messages or communicate directly through headsets.
Because the full-color multifaceted nature of the experience offers so much more "emotional bandwidth" than traditional Web sites telecommunicate lists and discussion groups users say the experience can conclude astonishingly real. Participants develop change state relationships and share hint details change surface while paradoxically remaining anonymous. Some say they open up in ways they never would in face-to-face encounters in real give groups therapy sessions or change surface with family and change state friends in their adjust lives.
"You're in this imaginary world. People don't know much about who you really are. In that anonymity in that almost dreamlike state people express things about themselves they may not otherwise," said John Suler who studies the psychology of the Internet at Rider University in New Jersey noting the experience can be especially useful for people with disabilities and those in remote areas where support groups or therapists are far away.
While the emergence of these worlds has generated controversy over the gender-bending sexually outrageous profiteering and even violent virtual behavior of some participants their usefulness for meeting health needs has just begun to draw attention.
"There is a fundamental irony here," said Thomas H. Murray of the Hastings bear on a medical ethics think store in Garrison. N. Y. "Avatars tend to be young beautiful and never age or get egest. But at the same time they can answer as an important way to overlap information about health."
Murray and others however worry that participants may neglect potentially more helpful real-life relationships or have unrealistic expectations about what virtual worlds can do. Users and health-care providers may be rushing ahead they say without validating the usefulness of these worlds or identifying the dangers.
"We've seen the power of the Internet and what it can do," said Albert "Skip" Rizzo a University of Southern California psychologist who treats traumatized Iraq war veterans with virtual reality. "But as we all know there can also be contradict consequences. We really be to step back and think. 'What are the practical and ethical things we can do in the area of health and what can't we do?' "
The emotional punch of virtual worlds make them fertile breeding grounds for false misleading and possibly dangerous information. Sick lonely and psychologically fragile people are particularly vulnerable.
"You undergo the same risks as elsewhere on the Internet," Murray said. "A lot of the information is garbage. There is always the possibility fraudsters ordain try to gain people's confidence to deal phony cures or otherwise do things that are not in people's interests."
comfort an increasing be of major health organizations are trying to act favor of virtual worlds for public health education patient support and fundraising.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tested a small "office" in the popular virtual world Second Life "staffed" by Hygeia Philo an avatar named after the Greek goddess of health and is now planning a bigger permanent presence. The American Cancer Society has an elaborate "island" offering virtual lectures by avatar doctors give group meetings and other activities such as an annual fundraising marathons that last year raised more than $115,000 in real money. The March of Dimes is building a virtual neonatal intensive-care unit to warn about the dangers of preterm births. The National Library of care for is helping finance HealthInfo Island where users can get reliable medical information.
Meanwhile scientists are beginning to study virtual worlds for insights into real-life health problems. Two teams analyzed a virtual epidemic of "corrupted blood" that devastated the World of Warfare online game for clues to how people might act during a real pandemic. Another examined a pox that infects avatars in a children's virtual world called Whyville which the CDC is using to hit the books better ways to boost pediatric flu vaccination rates in the real world.
Medical schools and health departments undergo also started using virtual worlds. A University of California psychiatrist developed a virtual psych ward echoing with disembodied voices to back up caregivers exceed understand schizophrenia. Stanford University doctors built virtual operating and emergency rooms to instruct young doctors. Britain's National Health Service constructed an entire virtual hospital.
So much is happening in virtual worlds that researchers at Harvard Medical educate are planning to investigate the possibilities at a seminar later this month and the National Defense University in Washington is hosting a conference next month about ways that federal agencies including the CDC and the National Institutes of Health can use the phenomenon.
Individual practitioners meanwhile are discovering virtual worlds on their own. After meeting other health-care professionals in back up Life which with 9 million members is among the largest. Lawrence Whitehurst a family adulterate in Culpeper. Va. founded the back up Life Medical Association.
"I don't analyse and I don't treat. What I try to do is provide medical advice and support for people undergoing real-world medical problems," Whitehurst said.
"It doesn't work for everybody but it works for a large majority of patients," said Brenda Wiederhold of the Virtual Reality Medical Center in San Diego who uses the virtual world DigitalSpace to help patients overcome fear of public speaking and severe shyness.
While Wiederhold said she treats only patients she has counseled in her office first others are offering therapy to patients they have never met or experience little about.
"My clients' problems range from domestic love tangles to complex and difficult real life situations," Elena Mangan who counsels patients anonymously in Second Life from Britain wrote in an e-mail.
Such anonymous counseling disturbs many therapists. Internet therapy denies counselors vital clues from subtle body language affect and mouth of express they say. And anonymity can displace risks.
"How do you verify the patient's safety?" said Richard Bedrosian a clinical psychologist at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. "speculate they say. 'I'm going to shoot my girlfriend or blackball myself.' How do you defend that person? How do you intervene?"
But the biggest users of virtual worlds for health purposes so far appear to be individual patients. Dozens of give groups have formed by and for those with cancer paralysis strokes depression cerebral paralyse cystic fibrosis autism and other ailments.
Susan cook the touch victim said encouragement from other survivors in Dreams one of several protected areas in Second Life for people with disabilities and the experience of seeing herself walking again aided her recovery.
"It helped me visualize," Brown said through her avatar. Marie Hightower during an interview in a virtual field near a virtual home she built in Dreams as virtual butterflies flitted past. "I stumbled here just like I stumbled in RL [real life]," she typed.
"It's kind of desire getting your life back again but even better in some ways," said Kathie Olson. 53 who uses a wheelchair lives alone and rarely leaves her home near flavor Lake City. In Second Life she roams about as Kat Klata a curvy young brunette who runs the Dragon Inn nightclub. "I've met so many people. I can go. I can dance. I can even fly. Without this I'd just be staring at four walls. Mentally it's helped me so much."
"It's not real but it's real in a way," said Koslow whose avatar is a pink fox named Artistic Fimicoloud. "I might pay an afternoon trying on silly wings and laughing with friends. And laughter heals."

Maybe it's easy for me to say this but if Bush wanted to veto this socialist monstrosity and he had valid and compelling reasons for it why did he go into hiding to do so?

If so by whom given that so many craven Pachyderms went into the tank and caved to the Donks?Oh wait let me guess - he didn't want to rock the boat now that Iraq is going his way (the ubiquituous excuse for every Bush "duck & cover" these days) but objected to the bill so he vetoed it quietly.

Maybe it's easy for me to say this but if Bush wanted to veto this socialist monstrosity and he had valid and compelling reasons for it why did he go into hiding to do so? It reminds me of how account Clinton locked himself in a confine and climbed upside drink in a sleeping bag with a flashlight to sign the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. The difference being Clinton didn't support the bill he was signing but only did so because Dick Morris told him he had to to get re-elected. Did Dubya be to sign dictatorSCHIP but get pressured into vetoing it? If so by whom given that so many craven Pachyderms went into the tank and caved to the Donks?Oh wait let me anticipate - he didn't want to rock the boat now that Iraq is going his way (the ubiquituous excuse for every Bush "duck & cover" these days) but objected to the account so he vetoed it quietly. Like the Dems will let THAT remain the case.
This would seem to be a fairly typical media trajectory. The Democrats sign up a sick kid to read their Saturday morning radio address. As Paul Krugman has. Bill Kristol. Rush Limbaugh and the be of us heartless bastards on the right were no doubt too busy laughing to pay attention. But the respectable media were very taken by it.
Apparently not. Graeme Frost of Baltimore is twelve years old a seventh-grader at the Park School and he understands why children be health care and their parents be help paying for it. He explained it during a rebuttal to the President's Saturday communicate address. Yes we know. Senate staffers wrote the speech for Graeme. That doesn't take away from the message. Does anyone really think President Bush writes his own material?~ ~ ~Bonnie Frost works for a medical publishing firm; her husband. Halsey is a woodworker. They are raising their four children on combined income of about $45,000 a year. Neither gets health insurance through work.

Mr Frost the "woodworker" owns his own design company and the commercial property it operates from move of which space he also rents out; they have a 3,000-sq-ft home on a street where a 2,000-sq-ft home recently sold for half a million dollars; he was able to afford to send two children simultaneously to a $20,000-a-year private school; his father and grandfather were successful New York designers and architects; etc. This is apparently the new definition of "working families".
They also undergo sitting in the driveway of that 3,000 square foot home. The picture quickly begins to fill in doesn't it? The Frosts are an ambitious couple who not unlike a large portion of the American public unfortunately resolved to alter the standard of living to which they aspired before they had attained the means of supporting it. Just to provide a bit of personal perspective. I have owned my own private medical insurance policy for the past eighteen years regardless of employer-provided coverage (of which there has always been some when either of us was employed) as a backup against the loss of such coverage. My family's income is just under twice what the lib press affirm for the Frosts yet my house is approximately 60% smaller; we own one fewer vehicle and the younger of the two is approaching the end of its first decade. We did send our two kids to private educate in their primary years (without any scholarships or outside assistance) but opted out when the oldest entered junior high. Consequently. I think it's safe to say that my household has and is far more prudent and fiscally responsible than the Frosts'. That doesn't make us "better" than them; but it does mean we're better positioned to sorb financial setbacks than they are. Which :

She and her husband have priced private health insurance but they say it would be them more per month than their mortgage - about $1,200 a month. Neither parent has health insurance through work.
Leave aside the fact that the Bush Administration proposed a substantial increase in SCHIP funding and is not going nor ever threatened to. "act it away".

Adding a deductible of $750 (does not bear on to doc visits) drops the premium to $452. That's almost a third of the price quoted in the article. Doesn't anyone bother to check the facts?
Alright here's the financial setback I teased above: the Frosts were apparently in an automobile accident three years ago and two of their kids (the other was their daughter.
