COMMENTS: Caught Smoking
On such a serious day of financial news, only NBC found time for a medical feature. Robert Bazell kicked off a series on dubbed Clearing the Air with a profile of Michael Rich, a former filmmaker, now a physician at Boston Children's Hospital. The doctor used his cinematographic insight to equip his asthmatic patients with videocameras as a diagnostic aid. They document themselves and their surroundings whenever they have breathing difficulties. Thus Rich was able to discover hazards in the home that go unreported during a clinic visit--mold spores in the ceiling, dust behind the television set, cigarette smoking adults puffing out secondhand smoke.
