The Null Device

Unintended consequences: The recipient of a pioneering hand transplant, it turns out, is having trouble affording the expensive anti-rejection drugs required to keep the hand. The surgeon involved has appealed to the drug companies to offer him the drugs free of charge. (Aside: this is the same patient who recently complained that he does not feel that the hand is his own and wants it removed. Sounds a bit like a curious twist on body dysmorphic disorder, only in this case the hand wasn't originally his.)
