Lung Numbing

Paul Stoneking, 78, uses a nebulizer with lidocaine to numb his airways prior to undergoing a bronchoscopy using the Super Dimension Bronchos Navigational Bronchoscopy at Methodist Hospital on Thursday, June 8. The new system allows doctors to probe further into the lungs than before. DAVID ZENTZ/JOURNAL STAR
