It is amazing how cheap human life has become. For example, the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center of Los Angles was fined only $25,000 for overdosing 3 premature infants. The hospital was not fined $25,000 per infant, but for all 3 infants. Any more a person cannot get a decent car for less than $25,000, yet a major hospital is fined this amount for a completely preventable, senseless error. Does this fine really impact the hospital? Not at all! Has the California Department of Public Health devalued human life to this level? Dangerous Liaisons Gunner Palace move

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008Dispute Has Developed Over Great Lakes Report
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008A report concerning pollution in the Great Lakes region has become the object of dispute among experts. The report was commissioned in 2001 by the International Joint Commission.
The International Joint Commission is an independent organization that was established in order to resolve the disputes that arise between Canada and the United States concerning the quality of the water that borders the two countries.
The report in question is titled "Public Health Implications of Hazardous Substances in the 26 U.S. Great Lakes Areas of Concerns."
The report is based on studies conducted by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, which is a part of the Department of Health and Human Services. The studies focus on the possible health effects of hazardous chemicals in and around the 26 lakes that border the United States and Canada.
T.A.C.T.I.C.A.L. ipodNew technology was used during the study which analyzed statistical information about infant mortality and health problems. It was noted that there were higher rates of infant mortality in 21 of the 26 areas studied.
Higher rates of low birth rate were found in 6 of the 26 areas and higher rates of premature births were found in 4 of the areas. Higher rates of breast, colon and lung cancer were also documented.
The report has been withheld from release. The Institute of Medicine has been asked to referee the situation. The Institute of Medicine is a governmental medical advising organization and will issue a final report concerning the study at the end of June.
Birth trauma attorneys are currently working on cases of serious injuries caused during premature birth.

Thursday, March 20th, 2008With the current high cost of pharmaceuticals and continued cost increases for medicines, why is the production of medical drugs being outsourced to foreign nations? As indicated in a recent article on Fox News entitled “FDA Finds Heparin Contaminant That Killed 19”, the blood thinner was created in China. Is the United States economy so bad that vital medicines must be made outside the U.S.? When is the public health placed with such a cheap price tag? The article also indicated a less expensive compound was used and that caused the 19 deaths. The public needs to start questioning pharmaceutical companies and hold them accountable for your health.
