You want to see a 3d representation of the cholesterol buildup in in your arteries, don't you? Why hasn't your competent? doctor brought it in the past 9 years?
Laziness? Incompetence? Or just don't care? NO leadership? NO strategy? Not my job? Not my Problem?

Abstract
Stroke
survivors directly link stroke education with their ability to access
appropriate treatments and reduce their risk of future strokes. However,
with such a diverse population a universal mode of delivering education
must be sought. This paper places the artist at the heart of educating
patients and carers about their disease by developing a technical
process of delivering 3D CT patient stroke data on the Virtual Reality
(VR) platform Oculus Rift DK2. VR has already been proven as an
efficacious rehabilitation tool for this population but its use in
education has not yet been established. This work is being piloted in a
new collaboration between the Art & Design Faculty at the University
of New South Wales, Australia and the Stroke Rehabilitation Service at
St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney. Importantly, this paper places the
artist's at the center of the process -- from developing the concept, to
prototyping and creating the final visual aesthetic. The different
stages of the technical design process are also described in this paper.
These provide an early framework for working with VR in a clinical
context.
The practicalities and pitfalls of
navigating vascular datasets in immersive real-time 3D on VR are
discussed at the end of this paper. Several recommendations for the
future development of this process and its scalability for clinical use
are made.
