When a patient came to the emergency room at a Texas hospital with wires in his intestine, surgeons were perplexed. So, they turned to a social network called Doximity that helps doctors connect with peers on the other side of the country and found another doctor who had seen the problem before: the wires were bristles from a barbecue brush. The surgeons have since written a paper together.
