Too many women face a "diagnostic odyssey" at the doctor's office. This $20 billion plan could change things. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Women live longer than men, but they also spend more time being sick. Why is that? One reason is that women's health has long been under-researched and underfunded. According to research from Melinda French Gates' Pivotal, for every dollar spent globally on medical research and innovation, only 5 cents are spent on women's health. The Society for Women's Health Research is trying to change that in the United States with a first-of-its-kind, $20 billion,10-year federal road map to improve the hea
Badly wounded U.S. Air Force officer climbed 7,000 foot Iranian ridgeline to hide after being shot down (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When an American fighter jet was shot down over Iran this past April 2, not one, but two U.S. Air Force officers were left stranded, alone in a rugged mountain range, being pursued by Iranian forces. To prevent their capture — five weeks into a costly and unpopular war that has taken the lives of 18 U.S. service members — the U.S. military launched one of the largest search and rescue operations in its history. Tonight, we begin our 59th season with how the mission unfolded. We'll show you newly
U.S. Air Force officer shot down in Iran says he prayed while "free-falling" to the ground behind enemy lines (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Air Force colonel needed help when he crashed over a mountainous part of Iran's desert, separated from his crewmate, the pilot of the F-15E, after being shot down by Iran in April. The U.S. aviator free-fell to the ground at an estimated 70-100 mph; the Iranian shoulder-fired missile had damaged his parachute. He was the backseater, the weapons-systems officer on a two-man crew with the mission call sign Dude 44. The pilot was Alpha; he was Bravo. "At one point when I looked up and saw no pa
Gen. Dan Caine reflects on responding to 9/11 attacks: "No doubt" nation was at war (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As thousands of first responders and emergency workers rushed to Ground Zero on 9/11, America's military also rapidly leapt into action. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine was the chief of Weapons and Tactics for the 121st Fighter Squadron at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland that day. He told CBS News' Norah O'Donnell that he had just entered a scheduling meeting when a young staffer burst in to say that a plane had struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center. He and his
Myths and facts about donating blood, and how it could reveal clues about your own health (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The American Red Cross declared its second-ever national blood supply crisis this summer amid a shortage that's threatening patients around the country. Blood has a short shelf life, and only 3% of eligible donors give blood regularly. Summer accidents and emergencies can put an already-strained stock at risk, and regular donors may skip their appointments, compounding the problem. We sat down with Dr. Courtney Lawrence, the divisional chief medical officer at the organization, to talk about the
