December 2, 2008 | Swinfen Charitable Trust connects critically ill patients with specialists all over the world via email. Doctors in about 140 hospitals and clinics in 39 nations use the organization to seek help for patients requiring specialized care beyond their capabilities. Through the trust, they can be put in e-mail contact -- often within hours -- with one or more of the 400 specialists who work without pay as part of the trust's network. Washington Post
