Original Toronto Star caption: Murnaghan and Transfeldt discuss the delicate hand surgery they'll be performing on their fourth surgical patient of the day, a young foreign student with a dislocated thumb that refuses to pop back into the joint. Murnaghan has examined the student, who came into the emergency department at about noon - he's under anaesthetic and waiting for a operating room to be free. Using advanced image enhancement equipment, basically a large x-ray unit linked to a video monitor, the two surgeons will place stabilizing pins into the joint without opening up the hand.

Innovator: Toronto urologist Dr. Mel Sutton worked painstakingly for three years to perfect the microscoop he displays here. The delicate surgical tool offers new hope to men who've been sterilized by vasectomy operations, but now want families, by taking the uncertainly out of the reversal operation and making it an easier task for surgeons.
