ABC's Weir finds health problem on routine story (AP)

NEW YORK ? A routine news story took a strange turn when an ABC "Nightline" anchor had a full body scan that turned up a possible warning sign.

Bill Weir was interviewing Dr. David Agus, who gave him a full series of tests. That included a costly body scan that's not recommended for screening people with no symptoms of disease.

The scan found a calcium deposit in an artery, which the doctor told the Wisconsin native could cause a heart attack.

But since the program aired Tuesday night, other doctors have challenged that assessment.

Weir says he's changed his diet and is on medication.
