By taking in the coffee, Dr. Houston Frost looked at his amount of new tools that he would be using once he left his office. The entire floor awaited the new technology to be applied to the operating room. It was a tool that could delve into the body and extract cancer cells. No chemo, no hacking off limbs, no pain. It had just been approved by the private medical community.

The government had no role in evaluating the apparatus as the government separated from the private sector including the health care system. Frost smirked a bit and a tear dropped.
