My chest is burning!
The Minerva section of the British Medical Journal was probably the only part of any medical journal I used to look at when I was a medical student. It has taken me sometime to find it, but the following chest radiograph of a West Indian man with severe burning chest pain must be seen to be believed.
Are those flames you can see?
