Deaths linked to COVID-19 in the United States now total more than 800, including nearly 200 in New York City alone, according to a database kept by 161

Dental offices across the country are shut down to prevent the spread of COVID-19, meaning teeth cleanings, checkups, and other elective procedures are on hold. That's prompted some people with dental emergencies to show up at hospital emergency rooms seeking help."I think that our role as oral surgeons, specifically in what's going on right now, is to try and keep the emergency rooms free of people having dental problems," said Dr. Paul Koshgerian, a San Diego oral surgeon. When the American Dental Association called for all dentists to postpone elective procedures, he knew his doors at 607

CHICAGO, Ill. – Stone carving is a tradition going to the wayside as technology takes over. Right now, there are only a few dozen stone carvers remaining across the United States. Among them is Walter S. Arnold in Chicago. “I am a sculptor and a stone carver. Traditionally, those were two separate professions,” said Arnold. “The sculptor was the creative person who made the model, like a composer for music, and the stone carver was like the musicians in an orchestra.”Arnold believes art is one of the things that define humanity. “You know, building on the old traditions and learning from them are all a part of it. 100, 150 years ago there were thousands of carvers in this country,” said Arnold. “There might be a few dozen now.”People have kind of lost the eye for it, according to Arnold.“People no longer grew up around it,” said Arnold. “Walk around an old city like Chicago and look up and you'll see carving everywhere.”Arnold has been carving all his life.“I think I first took a chisel to a piece of stone when I was about 12 and ended up going to Italy when I was about 20 near the quarries near Carrara where the marble is quarried.”Arnold says gargoyles in particular appeal to him.“They appeal to my imagination, sort of on the edge between what is recognizable and real and natural and human, and what is imaginary and supernatural,” he said. Throughout history, Arnold says our earliest records of civilization come to us through carving and it has been a part of civilizations all over the world throughout history as a way to communicate. “The painter Delacroix, a French painter in the 1800s, once said that the last few brush strokes that will finish a painting and kill it. So, in a way for me, the last few chisel strokes are when I pass it on from me and then it becomes your responsibility to see which piece appeals to you or speaks to you or is important to you.”Arnold says his message is to look at the world with a sense of wonderment, to see things that you don’t expect “To be delighted and surprised, to see the world in three dimensions.” 2089

Ellen Baker loves rescuing cats, but she will forever have a special place in her heart for Bella, who died recently after a night at a pet hospital.Her beloved tabby cat had died despite 24 hours of tests, lab work and antibiotics."Losing her I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest," Baker said.Billed thousands for treatmentThat was just the first blow. The second was the bill.Baker said she was confronted with a hefty bill the moment she and a very sick Bella arrived at the vet."I was told, 'You have to pay ,204 up front to cover anything and everything that might need to be done,'" she said.Baker, distraught, handed over her credit card. Refusing to pay would have felt like sentencing Bella to death.The next day, Bella was still sick and the hospital needed another ,000 to continue treatment."The bill in the end was actually ,346," Baker said.Why such high prices?Outrageous? Not according to the hospital's medical director.Jessica Brotherton explained to us they have millions of dollars worth of high-tech equipment, from CT scanners to chemo rooms for cancer, and surgeons who perform life-saving surgery unheard of 10 years ago.As for charging up front, she says the hospital was forced to do that after dozens of people brought their pets in for expensive care, left, and never paid the bill.Hospital founder Dr. Doug Hoffman told us "there are certain treatments costs associated with that certain level of care given them, and there is a price associated with that.""Much of the equipment we have is the same you would have in a human hospital," he said.According to Consumer Reports Magazine, the hospital's fees are not unusual. The magazine also says veterinary costs have almost doubled since 2004. An overnight stay for testing typically costs over ,000, a torn ligament repair can cost ,000 and cancer treatment for a dog or cat will cost ,000 at the very least.So how can owners make sure that when their pet eventually gets sick, they're not hit with a surprise ,000 bill?Dr. Wendy Vogel urges her customers to purchase pet insurance ranging from 0 to 0 a year."I wish everyone with a pet had insurance on their pet," Vogel said.Although the cost may seem steep, she says it prevents sticker-shock for major care."They pay 90 percent of it in many cases," Vogel said. "So, if your bill is ,000, you pay only 0 out of pocket, and that allows people to do the things they want to do but could not do without the insurance."The tech site 2516
