Intriguing idea. It made me wish that I had been able to learn during my recent week-long stay. Granted, I'm over 19, but it still would have been cool to get a first-hand look at medicine on the front lines, as it were. I suppose the permissions would have been a nightmare, though. Still wish I could have tailed a doc or five. Not that I'd have had the strength for it. *shrug*
In regards to the article, it's no surprise that children are creative under duress. Writing, drawing, or any other creative activity can be a coping mechanism; I'm not quite sure why these findings are ground-breaking or otherwise exceptional.
