For $30 and a few hours of training, two Denver police officers survived gunshot wounds in their legs because fellow officers knew how to apply a tourniquet after attending a class developed by Denver Health paramedics and doctors.
The training is taught to police and EMS departments across the country, and since it was created in 2013, at least nine police officers' lives have been saved, said Bobby Putnam, Denver Health's all-hazards training coordinator.

For her series "The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death," the Brooklyn-based photographer Corinne May Botz made pictures of exquisitely detailed miniature crime-scene dioramas from the 1940s and 50s. The macabre depictions of homicides, suicides and grisly accidents, originally intended as forensics-training tools for policemen, became intimate and affecting under her lens. Her goal, she has written, was for viewers to "lose their sense of proportion and experience the large in the small."

Patients are now consumers, and it's changing everything about how healthcare works.
