Under normal circumstances, surgeons and anesthesiologists work side by side in the operating room, but recently for the first time known they work half a world apart to help ailing patients in one of the most remote areas of South America.

Virginia Commonwealth University and NBC-12 teamed up to create the series called "It's VCU" to showcase this urban university, located in the heart of Richmond.

Looking forward to this, a bunch of companies are working away on applications that monitor all of your six vitals: These vitals are temperature, heart rate, heart rhythm, respiration rate, blood pressure and 02 saturation (or the amount of oxygen you have in your blood). With all that information, the phone could do some cool stuff:
