ICYMI: Roller coasters will be recommended by urologists

Avoid surgery for kidney stones and ride the wave instead.

Today on In Case You Missed It: Researchers at Michigan State created a lifelike 3D model of a patient's kidney, with stones inside, and took it on a roller coaster after the man said the crystals cleared after riding Big Thunder Mountain.
