Is Legislation to End Malpractice Litigation Realistic?

Finally: An End to Malpractice Litigation? In a recent Medscape article, neurosurgeon Jeffrey Segal, MD, JD, discussed legislation now wending its way through the Georgia and Florida legislatures that, if enacted, would put an end to malpractice litigation in those states and could serve as a template for other states to follow suit. "The bills would, if passed, transform the current medical tort system into an administrative system for redress," Dr Segal wrote. In the Georgia bill, a patient who is injured would seek a potential remedy via a "Patient Compensation Act," which calls for the establishment of a "Patients' Compensation System." "That ...

Yahoo... MIAMI (Reuters) - A south Florida man is suing a hospital for emotional distress, saying his leg was amputated and thrown in the garbage with his name tag still on it. John Timiriasieff, 56, had his right leg amputated below the knee in October at Doctors Hospital in Coral Gables. "Rather than properly disposing of the plaintiff's limb as expected and as required by Florida law, Doctors Hospital threw the Plaintiff's amputated limb into the garbage, with tags indicating it belonged to the Plaintiff," according to the lawsuit filed on Wednesday in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court. A month later, Timiriasieff said his family was contacted by homicide detectives ...
Retired US Generals: Americans Too Fat and Unfit to Fight in the Military

Sputnik... A new report issued by a group of retired generals warns that high obesity rates and levels of unfitness among Minnesota’s younger residents has become an issue of national security, and needs to be urgently addressed by the state’s community. The title of the report says it all – “Too Fat, Frail and Out of Breath to Fight.” According to the findings, about one in three Americans is too overweight to serve in the military. In Minnesota alone, the same applies to about 69% of the state’s young adults. An additional one in ten of the state’s youth suffer from asthma, which automatically disqualifies them from joining military service. Around ...
Germans Switch Sausage for Soya Over Green, Health Concerns

MEDSCAPE... BERLIN (Reuters) - Germans, known for their love of sausages, are eating less meat and more vegetarian food as concerns grow about health, animal welfare and the environmental cost of livestock farming. Meat consumption is stable or declining in most developed countries but the shift is particularly striking in Germany, Europe's biggest pork producer and home to 1,500 varieties of sausage including Berlin's favorite, the "Curry-Wurst." The change in eating habits is steady rather than spectacular, but the food industry is facing up to the fact that the sausage - and meat in general - will no longer hold such a revered place in German national culture. ...

Sputnik... In a new study on a rare genetic disorder, scientists are close to identifying the key driver to human aging, and may soon be able to counter age-related physiological diseases. Aside from being undesirable, aging is also a very scientifically complex process. So much so that, instead of studying the process as it naturally occurs, scientists focus on premature aging syndromes. Scientists at the California-based Stalk Institute for Biological Studies and Beijing-based Chinese Academy of Sciences have been doing something similar, and their findings may provide them with solutions for age-related diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. In this particular ...

ScienceAlert... Scientists in Austria have managed to create biodegradable blood vessels using a unique polymer material that could one day replace the need for patients to donate their own blood vessels when undergoing lifesaving bypass surgery. The team reports that when transplanted into mice, the blood vessels were perfectly functional, and over time were naturally broken down and replaced by their own blood vessels. If replicated in humans, these artificial blood vessels would make a huge difference in how arteriosclerotic vascular disorders - the leading cause of heart attacks, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease - are treated. Made from elastomer, which is a special type of ...

Medscape Medical News Barcelona, SPAIN — Women who undergo breast cancer radiotherapy do not face an increased risk for subsequent heart conduction problems requiring a pacemaker as a result of their treatment, according to new research reported here at the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) 3rd Forum. "If a woman receives a pacemaker after breast cancer we can assure her it was not due to her therapy," said study investigator Jens Christian Rehammar, MD, from Odense University Hospital in Denmark. "Our study is quite unique, as there are no corresponding large studies in breast cancer patients only — previous studies are often mixed with ...

Medscape Medical News Ten physicians recently sent a letter to Columbia University urging them to fire faculty member and celebrity physician Mehmet Oz, MD, because he promotes “quack treatments” that are not evidence based and supports labeling genetically modified foods. Three of the physicians calling for his termination are part of the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH), a nonprofit organization that has been called a front group for the industries behind genetically modified foods, e-cigarettes, and fracking. Dr Oz pointed out the group’s members' conflicts of interest in a recent episode of his show, in which he said he is trying not to be silenced ...

Chernobyl All Over Again by Stephen Lendman Forest fires rage in Ukraine dangerously close to Chernobyl. Ukrainian interior minister Arsen Avakov said conditions "worsened." "The forest fire is heading in the direction of Chernobyl's installations," he said. Treetop flames and strong gusts of wind have created a real danger of the fire spreading to an area within 20 kilometers of the power plant." "There are about (1,000 acres) of forests in the endangered area," he claimed. "National Guard and interior ministry forces have been put on combat alert." The April 26, 1986 Chernobyl incident was the worst nuclear power plant disaster up to ...

Guardian... The government is lowering the recommended amount of fluoride added to drinking water for the first time in more than 50 years. Some people are getting too much fluoride because it is also now put in toothpaste, mouthwash and other products, health officials said Monday in announcing the change. Chipotle removes all GMO ingredients from its menu Too much fluoride has become a common cause of white splotches on teeth in children. One study found about two out of five adolescents had tooth streaking or spottiness. Fluoride is a mineral in water and soil. About 70 years ago, scientists discovered that people whose drinking water naturally had more fluoride also had fewer ...

SB 277 will unleash "medical civil war" in California as parents demand doctors be arrested for felony assault Monday, April 27, 2015 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger (NaturalNews) It is a fundamental and non-debatable scientific truth that all vaccines have inherent health risks. The spectrum of harm varies widely, from small skin rashes to full-blown neurological damage and lifelong debilitation. Some children have even been killed by vaccines, and the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid out nearly $3 billion to families of children who were provably injured by vaccines in America. The UK government, similarly, has just agreed to $90 million in financial ...

The world’s best-selling cancer drug costs, on average, $1,200 a year. For the “optimal” five years doctors suggest you take it…that’s $6,000. And what does your money buy you? How about a mere 1.4% lower chance of your cancer returning. Even better, now you have an increased risk of other cancers…and side effects like cataracts, strokes, blood clots… And this “winner” is their most popular drug! Meanwhile, in a study posted in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, a natural and inexpensive compound beat Big Pharma’s best offering by almost 50%. One way it works is by cutting off the energy supply to cancer cells. But as dangerous as it is ...

Dangers of Aspartame: What You Need to Know Monday, 27 Apr 2015 12:17 PM By Sylvia Booth Hubbard When Pepsi announced last week it was dumping the artificial sweetener aspartame from its Diet Pepsi formula, it surprised many people that the soda giant would tamper with the recipe for such a successful product. But there have been health concerns about aspartame for decades. The sweetener, which is sold under the brand names Equal and NutraSweet, has been linked to at least 90 symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, fatigue, weight gain, depression, and memory loss. Pepsi's move may simply be one of economics. It follows a 5.2 percent drop in sales of Diet Pepsi in 2014, and ...

Are you still walking for the cure? That money you're raising is the reason why they'll never find it. While researching the use of alternative therapies that were utilized by Suzanne Somers, we came across doctors and media outlets who desperately tried to malign her reputation. Their responses were so hasty that they accidentally revealed statistics that are not normally shared with the public. "We're finding that about 25 to 30 percent of some cancers stop growing at some point, that can make some treatments look good that aren't doing anything. Until doctors figure out how to identify which patients have cancers that won't progress, the only option is to ...

NYT Editors Support Harmful to Health GMO Foods and Ingredients by Stephen Lendman Clear evidence shows GMO foods and ingredients are inherently unsafe. Reliable independent studies prove it. Claims otherwise are Big Lies. Scientifically conducted animal studies show major human health risks from GMO products - including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, gastrointestinal abnormalities, and major organ changes. Monsanto and other GMO producers spend millions of dollars burying hard evidence - including funding scientists, journalists and others on the take to lie for hard cash. Americans don't know what they're eating. Labeling is ...

State Representative Carol Alvarado from Houston has filed HB 3499, a GMO labeling bill that would require all food sold in Texas to be clearly marked to inform the consumer that they contain genetically modified ingredients. Texas is a big state, and if this bill were to successfully pass, it could have a profound influence in food manufacturers and biotech interests – putting a much needed damper in their efforts to monopolize our food with toxic crops that have been linked to gut disorders, compromised immunity, organ failure, cancer, and reproductive issues. In the very least, consumers deserve to know what is in their food – and then by all means if you want to eat a GMO ...

WebMD... Despite what you might have heard on the morning talk shows, healthy stool comes in all sorts of shapes: curvy, sausage, snake-like, and more. How it looks depends on how much fiber and water you have all day, as well as how fast things move along in your colon. See your doctor if your stool looks thin and narrow like a pencil for several weeks. This can be a sign of a GI (gastrointestinal) problem. If you don’t poop every day, dangerous toxins can build up in your body.? This myth is so widespread that some people are obsessed with regularity -- over-relying on laxatives or using risky colonic machines. But your colon is pretty good at fighting bacteria. After all, its job ...

WebMd... A high level of LDL, the bad cholesterol, is the biggest threat to your heart -- although the other numbers are important, too. Bad cholesterol can clog your arteries and lead to a heart attack or stroke. Lower tends to be better for LDL, though your personal goal depends on your heart risk. Diabetes, middle age, or family heart troubles can all raise your risk. Triglycerides are a kind of fat. They're found in foods, in the plump areas of your body, and in your blood. Your body makes them from any food you eat. You use them for energy right away and store extras in your fat cells for later. Hello, belly fat!
