CHICAGO — Before David “Davey” Bauer made history at Northwestern Medicine for a double lung transplant assisted by a pair of DD breast implants, he considered himself a fairly healthy guy. Bauer, 34, spent his hours off from his landscaping job in De Soto, Missouri — near St. Louis — golfing, snowboarding and skateboarding. Cigarettes, he thought, were the only negative. A former smoker who went through a pack a day for four years, Bauer switched to vaping in 2014. “I thought it seemed like a safer alternative,” Bauer said. “In hindsight, it seems like I should have just quit sooner ... it’s ......

Many of the program’s patients are gender-nonconforming children......

NEW YORK — Former NYPD traffic supervisor Walter Clark has nothing but good things to say about New York-Presbyterian Hospital and the care he received for his 9/11-related double lung transplant. But the bureaucratic nightmare that comes with it because the hospital won’t accept a health plan covering ground zero survivors is another matter altogether.

For years, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, experts on all things sleep, has called for daylight saving time to be abolished. In the days leading up to this weekend's time change, their cause was debated in yet another congressional hearing. But for now, we're stuck with, well, Cranky Monday.
