Wondering if anyone saw this short article about Michelle's former job, and what your thoughts are about it: At the top right hand corner of Page 17 of the New York Post of January 24th, 2009 , was a short column entitled "Replacing Michelle" in the National Review "The Week" column. I found this interesting, so here it is, word for word, as it appeared: Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama: The University of Chicago Medical center hired her in 2002 to run "programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting" . In 2005 the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317,000 - nearly TWICE what her husband made as a Senator. Oh did we mention that her husband had just become a US Senator? He sure had. Requested a $1 MILLION DOLLAR EARMARK for the UC Medical Center, in fact. Way to network Michelle! But now that Mrs. Obama has RESIGNED, the hospital says her position will REMAIN UNFILLED. How can that be, if the work she did was vital enough to be worth $317,000? Let me add that Michelle's position was a PART TIME, 20 hour a week job. And to think they were critical of Goyovich' s wife for taking $100,000 in fuzzy real estate commission.

I would like to know if a pregnant women can be treated in different ways depending on her health insurance. I can imagine that different health insurances can cover pregnancy in different way. For example with some health insurance the woman cannot get some services which she could get with another health insurance. Is that true? I also can imagine that different health insurances can have a different network of medical providers which could have different level of services and qualification of staff. Is that true? moreResolved Question: So why are the Big Health insurers against Canadian style Health insurance?
The following story was posted in AP News today. My question is if insurers don't want an Obama Healthcare System that is socialized and a far cry from the "Best medical system in the world", then why are insurers content to send the insured overseas for "knee-replacements" and "heart by-pass" operations? I'm for Obama's plan and KEEPING AMERICAN JOBS HERE !!! (i.e. doctors, nurses and support staff). Screw the insurance companies as they have us for so long !

Enlarge image Enlarge By Kent Gilbert, AP Costa Rican Dr. Luis Obando prepares to perform a root canal on Bill Jones, of Dallas, Texas, at Meza Dental Care in San Jose, Costa Rica. Jones said he elected to have the surgery in Costa Rica because he was able to save substantially compared to what he would have had to pay in the USA. COSTS, SAVINGS Medical tourism trips offer steep savings, but they don't pack enough financial might to play a key role in President Obama's push to lower U.S. health care costs. Medical travel cost U.S. health care providers about $5.1 billion in business in 2007, according to estimates by Paul Keckley, executive director of the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions. While significant, that amounts to less than 1% of the $2.36 trillion spent on health care in the United States that year. Medical tourism can yield savings of as much as 80% on some procedures compared to care in the United States. But traveling isn't for everyone and these trips are generally not an option for emergencies. A patient's willingness to travel for non-emergency care often depends on the savings at stake. With a low deductible and no incentives from an insurer or employer to travel, a patient may have little motivation to make a trip. Any result from the Washington reform push is unlikely to affect medical tourism, Keckley said, because it won't lower costs enough to erase price gaps with foreign care providers. By Tom Murphy, The Associated Press Elizabeth Kunz left her dentist's office this spring with a mouth full of problems and no way to pay for them. The South Carolina resident went out of her way, literally, to find a solution, which turned out to be in Central America. Her trip to the tropics is part of a health insurance experiment for trimming medical costs: overseas care. As Washington searches for ways to tame the country's escalating health care costs, more insurers are offering networks of surgeons and dentists in places like India and Costa Rica, where costs can be as much as 80% less than in America. Until recently, most Americans traveling abroad for cheaper non-emergency medical care were either uninsured or wealthy. But the profile of medical tourists is changing. Now, they are more likely to be people covered by private insurers, which are looking to keep costs from spiraling out of control. The four largest commercial U.S. health insurers — with enrollments totaling nearly 100 million people — have either launched pilot programs offering overseas travel or explored it. Several smaller insurers and brokers also have introduced travel options for hundreds of employers around the country.

Plus, patients who have traditional plans with low deductibles may have little incentive to take a trip. But a growing number of consumers with high-deductible plans, which make patients pay more out of pocket, could make these trips more inviting. In the meantime, the insurance industry's embrace of overseas care has had a pleasant side effect at home: some U.S. care providers are offering price breaks to counter the foreign competition. This domestic competition and the slumping economy have led to slower growth for medical tourism over the past year, as patients put off elective procedures that involve big out of pocket costs, said Paul Keckley, executive director of the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions. Last year, the center estimated that 6 million Americans would make medical tourism trips in 2010. But Keckley has since shaved that projection to about 1.6 million people. Still, that more than doubles the roughly 750,000 Americans who traveled abroad in 2007, the last year for which Deloitte had actual numbers. Keckley expects the medical tourism industry to recover, as more health insur moreResolved Question: Is this classified as political corruption?

I just saw something on the TV from Ireland (republic, not northern) which is this sort of soap opera set in some sort of health clinic. It sort of revolves around the mundane lives of the medical staff. It is possibly the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. No offence intended to anyone Irish, but even for a soapie-drama sort of thing it's just bad. Even worse than Hollyoakes or Shortland St. from my home country of New Zealand. Is this just some thing nobody cares about that Ireland's state TV network makes to keep its creative community in paid work or is it prime viewing? P.S. I know it should be in the entertainment section but nobody Irish will probably see it and answer my question.Don't worry ayhartlasketchup I doubt many people outside of Ireland have seen it.

A recent short period of hospitalisation in the UK brought home to me some of the key differences beween the UK and the US in terms of their respective systems of medical and social care. I was taken by ambulance to my local Primary Care NHS (National Health Service)hospital (a regional hospital with specialist care for major traumas etc) and provided treatment and advice from 3 different levels of doctor. First in A&E (I was seen within 45 minutes), then after being transferred to a short term care ward (up to 5 days expected stay) was seen a more senior doctor specialiseing in my condition, given approprate treatment and then subsequently seen by a senior consultant. My treatment and progress was monitored throughout by a network of doctors and other specialists including a physiotherapist and I was given advice on what I needed to do to complete my recovery. When I had recovered sufficiently I was discharged with a prescription of a months worth of medication to support my recovery. I was also given advice on the nutrition and excercise requirements to aid my recovery. I would imagine that the level of medical care provided was similar to the US for people with full medical insurance. The main difference is that under the NHS it is free to any person in the country including citizens from other EU countries. I have no medical insurance because I do not need it. People in the UK who can afford it have medical insurance to receive essentially the same medical treatment in more comfortable and private surroundings and to get quicker treatment for some non-urgent procedures for which there is a waiting list in the NHS. Of course they still have access to the NHS for more urgent treatment. After discharge I was passed into the care of my local GP (local community doctor) and local social services who took an active part in ensuring I had the support I needed in my recovery and in any other areas visiting me in my home to discuss these areas with me Many of the staff of the NHS are provided by second generation Afro-Carribian immigrants or more recent immigrants from the accession states of the EU (Poland, Hungry, Czech republic etc) and from countries such as the Philipines showing one of the great benefits of a massive influx of highly educated and trained immigrants from countries with excellent education and training systems but who currently are at a lower level of economic development than the leading economic powers like the US, established EU states, Japan etc. The NHS is not perfect by any means but it is going through a massive process of re-engineering itself with large regional hospitals becoming self governing NHS Trusts and outsourcing non-medical services to outside private sector bidders on a competitive bidding system and the whole system monitiored by performance indicators with mechanisms to correct poor performance Great efforts are being made to cater better to the needs of people who because of poor English language skills (another by product of mass immigration), lack of knowledge of the system or lack of basic life skills, including those with mental disabities, who may therefore have difficulty getting full access to to the facilities and help available. The NHS and other bodies are also actively pursueing ways of improving care and support for people in the community particularly to support them through the recovery phase. There is also an initiartive to give people access to self diagnoses and advice on nutrition, excercise etc and specific areas such as problem drinking or the whole range of medical conditions. This is targeted at low income groups who do not have access to the internet at home and may have poor IT skills.This is being done by using the internet facilities that already exist in public libraries and by training library staff in supporting the people concerned with advice on using the system. Medically trained staff will come into the library regurlarly to provide further support in face to face consultation. This is in addition to the services of the GP network. Again all these services are free to any member of the public including of course all new immigrants and any EU citizen. For key public sector workers including NHS staff and others on low income or suffering financial hardship through, for instance, marriage breakup a system exists for the provision of low cost home ownership. A system to provide shared ownership of houses and apartments is provided by government funded Housing Associations who provide newly built or second hand properties on the basis of an initial capital contribution funded out of capital. This will be either a from a mortgage or cash, often from the proceeds of the sale of a previuos home as a result of divorce with the usual 50/50 split of the proceeds of the sale of the matrimonial home, or from savings. This capital contribution can be as low as 30 % of the full market value and can range up to 70% orQuestion too long & cut off by system. Any suggestions.Question at the end was how people thought the UK system compared with the US. Two countries of similar per capita income. In US you pay for very expensive medical insurance or risk having no access to medical care at all. In the UK good quality medical care is available free for all (inc EU citizens). moreVoting Question: What classes do you recommend a sophomore in high school to take for these occupations?

Here is an article to read, then lets have some well versed answers. Please NO BS. : Obama May End Military's Ban on Gays January 07, 2009 Agence France-Presse Sixteen years after Bill Clinton tried to end restrictions on gays in the military, the U.S. armed forces under Barack Obama may be forced to give homosexuals the same welcome as non-gays. Under president Clinton, the policy that once saw homosexuals discharged from US military service evolved to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," allowing gays to remain in the military so long as they did not reveal their sexual orientation. Obama has pledged to overhaul current law. "The key test for military service should be patriotism, a sense of duty, and a willingness to serve. Discrimination should be prohibited," reads an entry on the president-elect's transition website. Poll: Should Obama Overturn "Don't Ask Don't Tell?" Shortly after taking the oath of office in 1993, Clinton originally moved for an outright ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation in the military. That step, for better or worse, prompted an outcry among top military brass, along with many Republicans and a significant segment of the public. Clinton quickly came up with his "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" compromise, allowing gays and lesbians to serve in the military as long as they did not speak about their sexual orientation. The law however still has seen a large number of dismissals of gay service members. Since its enactment, some 12,500 soldiers have been sent packing for acknowledging their homosexuality or after being outed as gay. Those booted included some 800 key jobs such as Arabic translators, medical staff, pilots and intelligence personnel, according to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, a group which is fighting to end all restrictions on military service based on sexual orientation. Backers of reform said the move toward loosening restriction reflects a change in societal attitudes. "There has been a sea change in the way this issue is viewed, especially in light of our national security needs," said Democratic lawmaker Ellen Tauscher. "We shouldn't be forcing good men and women out of military service," Tauscher told AFP. The lawmaker is the lead sponsor in the House of Representatives of the Military Readiness Enhancement Act, which would replace "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." "The momentum for repeal has already begun. This summer we held first hearing on this issue in 15 years and recent public surveys show 75 percent of Americans believe (homosexual) men and women should be able to serve openly," the California lawmaker continued. "My bill to repeal the policy last year had 148 co-sponsors in the House. I will reintroduce this legislation in the coming Congress," Tauscher added. Even a group of some 100 retired generals and admirals recently appealed for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to be scrapped. "As is the case with Great Britain, Israel, and other nations that allow gays and lesbians to serve openly, our service members are professionals who are able to work together effectively despite differences in race, gender, religion, and sexuality," the former military brass wrote in their November 2008 letter. Many in the traditionally conservative military community continue to have misgivings, but that lack of support should not impede getting rid of the law, opponents said. "There will always be some people who will prefer the status quo, but people who preferred segregated units (banned in the U.S. military in 1948) didn't leave the military by and large," notes Aubrey Sarvis, director of the SDLN. Obama will have to be firm in his commitment to ending discrimination against gays in the military, he warned, despite a full agenda of burgeoning crises. "Of course, the economy has to be the first priority, but it's a matter of developing a plan on how to move forward successfully," said Sarvis, who predicted a new law within the year. "I take the president-elect on his word," he said. "I think he'll do it." moreResolved Question: I have received recently an email. Is it a scam? Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts ?

I would like to know if a pregnant women can be treated in different ways depending on her health insurance. I can imagine that different health insurances can cover pregnancy in different way.

TIME FOR THE TRUTH For the past 13 years we have heard how all our problems are the fault of the long since departed apartheid regime. The ANC spin doctors resort to all sorts of excuses when things go wrong, as they have been doing for the past 10 years. Now is the time for the truth. In 1994 the ANC took over a country that was in a healthy state of repair, with an Education system rated one of the top ten in the world. A Health system that produced pioneers in many fields of medical research and enjoyed the respect of the medical fraternity the world over. A transportation system that was the envy of the rest of Africa, and a network of roads equal to the best in Europe. A police force that controlled crime. A water supply rated one of the cleanest in the world. What have we now? An education system rated at the bottom end of a field of 50, with a required pass rate of 33% (the lowest requirement of any system in the world, and still our pupils are unable to achieve this miserable standard). We have a health system where those in control believe beetroot and garlic will cure AIDS, where babies die in hospitals through lack of knowledge, medication, equipment and efficient care. Where untrained staff forget to check regularly on patients in serious condition. We have a Minerals and Energy Minister who suggests that businesses close for certain periods to conserve electricity whilst South Arica suffers power failures, but until very recently continued to supply electrical power to our northern and eastern neighbours. We have cholera outbreaks because of contaminated water supplies in rural areas. We have a crime rate which is just about the highest in the world. We have a government composed of officials under investigation for corruption, theft, fraud, consorting with criminals, drunken driving, speeding and many other forms of law breaking. Time to tell the truth – the ANC government is incapable of running our country. And their policies border on insanity. The ANC policy of Affirmative Action has stripped the country of 75% of its skilled population and is responsible for the deprivation of the constitutional and social rights of the white population. The practice of putting black people in a position way above their ceiling of competence is now showing the inevitable signs of efficiency erosion at all levels. Along with the inevitable rise in prices and lowering of standards of service and living. The Black Economic Empowerment policy has empowered a certain group of people (all ANC members) at the expense of the entire population. And has cost, and continues to cost, our country billions of rand. The ANC government officials, both local and national have embarked on a policy of rewarding themselves with excessive salaries, and ridiculous bonuses, for utter inefficiency. Eskom is another case in point, with an alleged R143 million paid in bonuses, whilst the country suffers an energy crisis due to ignorance and lack of planning. This crisis now threatens the economy of our country. I am sure many of those who operate a Telkom service have had the pleasure of holding on for 49 minutes when contacting Telkom's help line. (My personal best was 59 minutes on January 26, 2008. I must admit that I was helped after that period, which was a refreshing change). We have a crime rate that is the envy of the Russian Mafia, who will no doubt soon be relocating to Johannesburg and Cape Town. (The Sicilian Brotherhood are already here it seems, enjoying the friendship of some of our Commissioners and Ministers). We have roads which, in the rural areas, are slowly crumbling away, if they have not already disintegrated. We have roads in our towns and cities which have more potholes than a slice of Swiss cheese. We have traffic lights which do not work for at least 2 - 3 days each month. As a reward for this farcical and criminal inefficiency, the government hands out awards and bonuses to all concerned. Let's be honest. Several Ministers should have been fired by the President 4 years ago. Those involved in Health, Safety and Security, Education, Home Affairs, Land Affairs, Labour and Minerals and Energy should long since have walked the plank. The latest madness is to disband the one department that stands between absolute corrupt government and the man in the street, the Scorpions. In fact our democracy, such as it is, is under severe threat. We have a former Minister of Defence who bought fighter planes which the airforce did not want, and who, it is alleged by a former ANC Minister, received R39-R50 million for his troubles. We have two submarines (cost R1.6 billion a piece, it is alleged) which are languishing in Cape Town Harbour as no one can drive them. We also have a fancy army, which costs millions monthly, with no one to fight. Which is why we have millions unemployed and without shelter. And 4 million refugees, which we cannot afford to cater for. But if one criticises the present ANC government, (which should be one’s democratic right), one is labeled 'racist'. But the biggest racists are those who accuse others of racism, and everyone knows where they are. Let's be honest, tell the truth and declare quite openly, the ANC are incapable of running this country.

Paul, Sounds like you're advocating fighting disease by eradicating the antigen instead of boosting the immune response. You can organize all you want on eliminating the pest, but until they put a stamp tax on email, a better approach is to let the messages be out there, but have them filtered to oblivion before you ever see them. In your case, the postmaster at Purdue is probably already filtering millions of messages a day that come to the thousands of email users on campus. They are probably capable of shutting down any RNWAY mail, and spreading the word to other postmasters that they also should filter those messages. So if you can get the IT people at the university to tighten their sieve, that's best. Otherwise you have to switch to an email program that has good junk filters. I think I get 500+ messages a day, and only 10 to 20 make it past the junk filter. Until last summer I was using Outlook Express and spam was a huge problem. Since then I switched to the free Mail program in OS X, which just added special features for spam detection and removal. Its probably 97% effective, and I haven't found any false positives. So, of course, the best answer is to get a Mac :) I'm sure the PC mail clients are addressing this issue as well. I believe there are central databases of offenders so programs can learn from others which messages to delete. I would imagine this is the most important feature in any email program sold these days, so I bet Eudora or other third party mail programs have this solved. There's a lot of information on the subject at: http://spam.abuse.net/ Whether you fight the problem on the server or the client, it definitely is worth getting it cleaned up. I found it screwed up my whole communications process because every time I wanted check email, I had to wade through dozens or hundreds of useless ads.

With HIV and HCV By Michael Smith, Senior Staff Writer, MedPage Today Published: November 14, 2007 Reviewed by Zsofia Szep, MD; Infectious Diseases Division, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. CHICAGO, Nov. 14 -- A single transplant donor has left four recipients infected with HIV, the first such case in more than 20 years, officials here said. And, in what is apparently the first case of two viruses being transmitted by a transplant at the same time, all four recipients also were infected with hepatitis C. The infections were not detected in the organ donor because the test used -- the Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay, or ELISA -- detects the antibodies to the two viruses. But in the first weeks after infection -- 22 days for HIV and 82 for hepatitis C -- the antibody response is not strong enough to trigger a positive test. So, if the donor had been infected only a few weeks before death, officials said, the test would have come back negative. The transplants took place in January at the University of Chicago Medical Center, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and Rush University Medical Center. But it was only two weeks ago that the infections were discovered, according to Michael Millis, M.D., of the University of Chicago Hospitals. The news was "very surprising and devastating" for the four recipients, Dr. Millis told reporters. Public health officials in Chicago and at the CDC are trying to see whether any of the recipients have passed on either infection during the time since their transplants. The CDC said the last case of HIV transmission because of a transplant took place in 1986, when three people in Virginia died of AIDS after receiving infected organs. That was in the early days of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, when safeguards were less stringent than today, officials said. A spokesman for the United Network for Organ Sharing said there have been more than 400,000 organ transplants in the U.S. since the 1986 cases without a reported case of transmission. "We believe there's already a very small risk of transmission through the safeguards we have in place," Joel Newman told reporters. Once the infections were discovered, stored blood from the donor was re-tested using ELISA and also came back negative for both viruses. Blood banks use a more sensitive test for HIV -- Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing, or NAAT -- which detects the viral genetic material directly, but that test is not routinely used in transplantation. When the donor's blood was tested using NAAT, the HIV infection was detected. A screening questionnaire showed that the donor had engaged -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?

funerals. we had to die famous, between the ages of 105-115 Here it is: The name Will Hartford shall never be forgotten. The one man who invented world peace. Since he was a young teen, he had been horrified by the idea of war. Will had also been infatuated with videogames. When he had turned 24, after spending 6 years in college studying videogames and their creation, he fused these two ideas to create the Ultimate Role Playing Game. And this wasn’t an ordinary game. It was a place where everyone around the world could go into and solve their problems there. He designed a whole other world complete with large cities, and in the Central City, he programmed an arena where the players could hone their skills, and where others could battle out their conflicts. This, in turn, led to a new world order. Those in this game of Hope could fight it out, and the winner would get his way, unless it involved the pain and suffering of another. Also, those who fought Physically in the real world would be sent to exile, where they could fight all they want, and not hurt the other peaceful beings. This led to the idea of world peace. But, of course, things as great as this would not be completed overnight. At the age of 35, Will nearly gave up. He had literally thousands of computers linked together, and still could not write everything he wanted in this new and wondrous place. For the rest of the world had grown lazy, and refused to upgrade memory storage technology. Then, he met me, Robert Ingham. Him and I teamed up to invent a storage device that could hold a near infinite amount of data. And on the day of his 57th birthday, he completed the game which he called Hope, for he had hope for the world. All anyone had to do to access its server was to get on any computer network, and click YES. It was so simple. Every person in the world could use it at the touch of a button. But, alas, nobody would accept the game. It was too complicated to control with just standard computer keyboards. It took us 13 years to perfect the new system that wirelessly connected to the Hope system. It allowed an incredibly realistic virtual reality view of the game, and the hand and feet controls allowed for realistic movement, which would only allow you to use as much energy as you had in the real world. After many more years of development, Will designed every new weapon that wasn’t a gun. Swords, Bows, and staves were the main weapons of the game. The idea of guns just sickened him. So we eventually presented it to the President, who introduced it to every other nation in the world. They were impressed that such a thing could exist, and agreed to distribute one to every family in the world. The motion equipment allowed for the exercise of everyone, keeping every person in shape while they played the game. He celebrated his 85th birthday when we got news that every family in the world owned a system, and Hope was a great success. But, alas, it would fail. The popularity led to a crash of the system. War broke out once again throughout the world. We worked 24 hours a day for the next 15 years to put the server back online, each taking turns of 9 hour shifts. When we announced it over the world news, all fighting again stopped. But all the hard and non-stop work exhausted him. Barely clinging to life, Will spent his last 8 years in a Medical Facility, unaware of everything around him. He was 108 years old when he finally let go of life, falling into God’s arms. Sadly, he never knew that he had solved the world’s peace problems, and it’s obesity problems. Will Hartford died a great man, and he will always be remembered by the world. moreResolved Question: Huge medical bills question...please help?

I am not currently in the medical field. I have 2 vocational certificates, one in Computer Networking, and the other in Business Office Administration. I have over 5 years experience in general office management, marketing, and information technology. I have been offered a position with a small medical practice (one doc, one office manager - 2 total people) and would like to know what kind of salary I can reasonably expect. The doctor is a specialist and has a website. My responsibilities would be to manage the website / web store, manage all aspects of I.T. for the small office, administer electronic health records system, provide general technical support and support to clinic staff, develop marketing materials, promote the website, etc. I feel that the appropriate salary would be in the 65k-95k range as a minimum based on the technical nature. I am curious what you think he'll offer based on the small size of the practice? The doc is always trying to save a buck.A little additional information. I never completed a degree as I went straight into the workforce as a systems analyst. Then I advanced into management. I have several technical certifications and I run a small business in my off time doing I.T. work. The doc is one of my clients who I give a special deal of $20/hr to with a 10 hr cap. He is a good client with regular business so he gets the special price, normally i charge $50/hr. He wants me to accept the job described and i would be willing to take a cut from what i could make with my own business full time just for the stability factor. I know he must expect to pay more than the $20/hr $41,600 yr if he wants me to give up other business to work for him directly. I know my salary according to salary.com should be in the above range. I just don't think the doc is doing well enough to pay what im really worth. My question was more - what do you think he can afford to pay based on the office size? moreResolved Question: S'poreans are we cows or are we Humans to our Govt.?
Scuffle for organs sparks donor debate in Singapore By Koh Gui Qing ADVERTISEMENT SINGAPORE, Feb 28 (Reuters) - As members of Sim Tee Hua's family sat at his bedside to pray for his recovery, they were horrified to learn that the hospital staff were about to turn off his life-support machine and use his organs for transplants. The scenes that followed have shocked and upset not just Sim's family but many other Singaporeans, sparking a debate over the country's organ donor policy, which assumes that all citizens are willing donors, unless they have registered with the government that they wish to opt out. Doctors at Singapore General Hospital had declared Sim brain-dead and said they could not delay switching off life support any longer because of the risk of damage to Sim's organs. Sim's family had no objection to his organs being used for transplants but wanted doctors to wait one more day before turning off the life support machine. But as Sim's 68-year-old mother and about 20 other relatives knelt weeping before the doctors, begging them to wait, nine police officers entered the ward and restrained the distraught family while Sim's body was quickly whisked away. "The hospital staff were running as they wheeled him out of the back door of the room. They were behaving like robbers," said Sim Chew Hiah, one of Sim's elder sisters. The Sim family's experience has prompted a wave of letters to the local media, with some people saying they would opt out in protest, and added fire to a debate about organ trading. Lee Wei Ling -- a prominent doctor who is the daughter of Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of modern Singapore -- last month urged the government to legalise organ trading, or the buying or selling of human organs for cash. "Organ trading is frowned upon and usually not allowed in countries where political correctness reigns," said Lee in a letter to the Straits Times. "If monetary incentive makes a potential living donor more willing to save another life, what is wrong in allowing that ?" Her views have some support from the public. "If I can sell my organs, give my children a better life, and save someone else's life too, why not? Not everyone drives a Mercedes," said Khalid, 32, who gave only his first name. Currently, anyone caught buying or selling human organs in Singapore may be jailed up to a year or fined up to US$6,500. POOR DONORS Those who oppose the trading of human organs say it promotes greater social injustice. "To trade it and sell it for a 100 pounds, 200 pounds, or to the highest bidder, that is to prostitute your organ," said Dr Choi Kin, president of the Hong Kong Medical Association. Such donors are likely to be the poor and uneducated people from countries such as Brazil and India, who can sell a kidney for as little as $1,000, the World Health Organisation said. And they are usually exploited by organ traffickers, who can charge wealthy clients up to $100,000 to $200,000 for a new organ, according to the WHO. The chronic shortage of organs available for transplant is a global problem. In the U.S. alone, more than 6,200 patients die each year while waiting for an organ, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing, a U.S.-based non-profit medical group. The shortage has forced doctors and governments to look for alternatives, such as the use of pigs' kidneys, hearts and lungs, or the purchase of human organs. Many patients have also travelled abroad for transplants, notably to China, which has been accused by rights groups of harvesting organs from executed prisoners. Since 1995, more than 270 Singaporeans have gone abroad, mostly to China, for organ transplants, the Health Ministry said. DEFINITION OF DEATH To ease the organ shortage, Singapore amended its Human Organ Transplant Act in 2004 to expand the pool of organ donors and the type of organs that could be donated. Hospitals can remove the kidneys, liver, heart and corneas of all non-Muslim Singapore citizens or permanent residents when they die, unless they have objected. Muslims can choose to donate their organs, as in Iran and Malaysia, although many believe that the dead should be buried with all their organs intact. Doctors say a system which assumes all citizens are organ donors is necessary because even though many people are in favour of donating their organs, few actually come forward. While many European countries, including Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, and Spain, have laws similar to Singapore's Transplant Act, it can still be a sensitive issue. When Brazil passed a similar law in 1998, it triggered a public outcry. The Federal Attorney later conceded that families could prevent the removal of organs for transplant. Critics say laws which assume all citizens are organ donors are inadequate because the definition of death is debatable. Others are concerned that life-support may be turned off prematurely or that people may be unaware of the opt-out option. "It should be up to the citizens to decide. These are their bodies, their organs, and therefore their decisions," said Dr Choi Kin. "If an accident should occur, it would be too late for them to opt out, even if they do not agree to donate." In Singapore, some doctors had urged amending the Transplant Act, giving families the right to block such donations. After the outcry over the Sim family's forced donation, the hospital and health ministry said in a statement that they would "continue to find practical solutions to minimise the emotional distress of families and staff in such situations." Sim's kidneys went to patients who had waited six to eight years for donor organs, the ministry said. His parents were offered five years of subsidised hospital fees -- and his family received a thank-you letter from the ministry for their "generous organ donation." moreResolved Question: i would like to know about communication in hospital. relationship between doctor and staff?

. Bruce Parks, chief medical examiner TUCSON - The medical examiner in southern Arizona's Pima County can tally the costs of illegal immigration differently than other county officials. Like the others, he can look at budgets and see how much it costs for his staff to deal with the waves of people who cross each year through Arizona, the busiest illegal entry point on the U.S.-Mexico border. But he can also look at the bodies that have forced this county to expand its morgue and get a much more vivid picture of the toll border crossings take on people. "We have had to work harder and pay some overtime costs," said chief medical examiner Dr. Bruce Parks. "Over time we're increasing staffing, which in some ways is related" to border crossers' deaths. Despite the efforts of federal officials and humanitarian groups to prevent them, deaths in Arizona have been mounting in recent years as migrants have tried crossing through more remote and dangerous desert areas to avoid increased enforcement. Arizona accounted for more than half of the deaths of migrants who died in the last fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, while trying to enter the United States. Of the total 473 deaths nationally, 216 occurred within the Border Patrol's Tucson sector, which covers all but the westernmost portion of the Arizona-Mexico border, including Pima County. Factor in the 51 deaths in the patrol's Yuma sector, including a handful of deaths in easternmost California, and more than half the migrants dying perished in Arizona. In July 2005, Tucson sector agents recovered the bodies or remains of 72 illegal immigrants who died in the desert - most ever in one month, spokesman Gustavo Soto said. Nearly all of those died from heat exposure, according to Parks. This July, thanks in part to robust summer rains, the Tucson sector recorded only 19 deaths. However, 10 deaths have been reported during the first nine days in August, versus two for the same period a year earlier. Nationwide, at least 291 illegal immigrants died during border crossing attempts from Oct. 1 through Aug. 6, including 75 deaths due to heat exposure, 45 drownings, and 42 motor vehicle incidents. The migrant deaths have forced the medical examiner's office in Pima County to devote more resources to handling them. That has included requiring overtime to moving to hire a sixth medical examiner to doubling the morgue's capacity so it can now hold 240 bodies. Before the expansion, the medical examiner's morgue held approximately 120 bodies and was nearly always at capacity. The new $237,000 stainless steel refrigeration unit, built to accommodate another 120 bodies, was readied earlier in the summer. Jennifer Allen, director of the Border Action Network, an immigrant rights organization, lamented "the fact that government agencies have to end up investing resources in dealing with migrants' dead bodies, as opposed to developing means and policies that will stop the deaths and provide for the economic and social realities in the country." The nation, she said, needs to find policies and solutions that help immigrants. Once Pima County's new morgue unit is in operation, it will allow the office to mothball a refrigerated truck tractor-trailer unit that the county first rented, then bought, to store an overflow of some 60 to 80 bodies and skeletal remains. The trailer has been in constant use, said Deputy Medical Examiner Eric Peters. "We knew it was only a stopgap measure," he said. "We realized the problem would remain and having a full sized tractor-trailer in our driveway literally was an obstruction. We needed to build something more permanent." Pima County's medical examiners performed about 1,400 autopsies in all last year. They examined 197 bodies of deceased border crossers, Parks said. "The great majority of them were autopsies," he said, "though we actually had to alter that process for a couple of months because we were so overwhelmed." In those cases they conducted external examinations to make sure there was nothing suspicious or unexpected for the conditions under which the deaths occurred. Parks said his office examined 146 dead border crossers in 2002, 156 in 2003 and 171 in 2004; the overall number of autopsies performed by his office ranged roughly from 1,350 to 1,450 per year. Figures are much lower in two other Arizona border counties. Pima County handles autopsies for the fourth. Janice Fields, business manager for United Pathology, which handles medical examiner's duties under contract with Cochise County, said there have been six migrant deaths since January, versus 12 as of Aug. 10 last year. There were 17 migrant deaths in Cochise County in 2005, she said. Officials at the Yuma Regional Medical Center's pathology department, which handles medical examiner's duties in Yuma County, didn't provide figures on migrant deaths. But the Border Patrol's Yuma sector reported 35 deaths of illegal immigrants so far during the current fiscal year, ahead of last year's pace. Parks said the migrant workload in his office represents a "moderate strain." "And we're still trying to get some of the work done that's left over from last year and still trying to identify bodies from 2005 and get people home," he said. In general, if a dead person has no identification, "we will not be able to identify them. Sometimes we are able to look at them and compare the body to a picture." Other times, a relative or another person who survived the desert trek is able to make an identification. Tattoos, scars and fingerprints help. So, often, does the Mexican government. "Thankfully, we have a very strong relationship with the consulate of Mexico, and one or two days a week they're down here," Peters said. Consular officials photograph personal effects and incorporate that and other information, such as tattoos and scars, into a computer database, Peters said. But delays in identification typically stem from language barriers, inability to find relatives or the difficulties next of kin may encounter in trying to arrange for the return of remains, he said. About 30 percent of the bodies or remains can't be identified. moreResolved Question: How long does it take to approve a test like Breath test for h pylori by an insurance company like Aetna HMO?
My husband was asked by the gastro specialist to do a breath test for h pylori bacteria, a little more than a month ago. I called his doctors office and his medical network and for almost a month they kept telling me that they had not recieved the request from the doctors office. After blaming each other the test was finally approved but was approved for the wrong hospital as that hospital does not conduct that test. The person handling the case at the doctors office is really mean and just is not cooperating. She even went to the extent of saying its just a breath test and it is not very serious. Do you think I should send a written complaint to the doctor abt his staff's handling of the problem. Now They say that they have re-submmitted the papers to the insurance network. Meanwhile my husband is suffering from the stomach pain. I really dont know what to do, bcoz the whole process has started again. Does anyone have any info on pre certification. Sorry abt this long question. moreTop Medical Staffing Network Links
