I heard from a friend of mine (who is a MD/PHD student at Columbia) that a
woman recently sued for loss of psychic ability after she had a CAT scan.

Apparently she claimed that she had not been warned that the scan might
destroy her "ability."  She won in the neighborhood of $800K (which was
overturned on appeal).

You might wonder why she didn't know this was going to happen, if she was
such a good psychic...
