The 2002 Winter Olympics ended earlier this week with fond and bittersweet memories for all. But for two IU School of Medicine faculty members, memories of the Olympic skeleton may have a whole different meaning than for athletes who sled downhill face first. Dr. Joshua Farber, (left) and Dr. Kenneth Buckwalter were two of eight radiologists nationally who were selected to treat athletes and dignitaries at the Salt Lake City games. The IU musculoskeletal radiologists pose here in front of the Olympic Polyclinic where they each spent a week as volunteers. (By the way, the sport of skeleton racing was named when someone commented that a new metal sled, first used in 1892, resembled a skeleton.)
