Intermountain Healthcare alerts patients to cumulative radiation exposure
|
23.5.2013 |
Salt Lake Tribune |
| by Kirsten Stewart The Salt Lake Tribune
Published May 22, 2013 01:34PM MDT
Roughly 25 patients a day are wheeled into Intermountain Medical Center’s “cath lab” for CT scans to look for calcium buildup in their coronary arteries. Coronary artery scans — the newest addition to radiologists’ growing arsenal of diagnostic tools — can aid doctors in diagnosing heart problems early. But they expose patients to 50 to 150 times the radiation of a chest X-ray, raising their risk for developing cancer later in life. “We want to make sure patients are getting tests only for the ... ... |

Failed Virginia bill on miscarriages reveals ignorance about women's health
|
22.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| The bill was unanimously voted down by the Virginia State Senate after women’s health advocates made it clear that the bill would place an enormous emotional burden on women.
As I’ve written here before , the medical ignorance of some politicians — particularly in regard to women’s reproductive health — is a continual source of astonishment.
Another one of these incidences hit the news this week. While searching through the legislative history of Virginia state Sen. Mark Obenshain , now running on the Republican ticket for his state’s attorney general position, reporters found that he had authored a bill in 2009 that would have required all women in Virginia to report miscarriages to police or risk legal penalties, including as much as a year in jail.
Specifically, the bill required that within 24 hours of “a fetal death” that occurs without “medical attendance,” the mother or someone acting on her behalf must report that death, the location of the fetal remains and the name of the mother ... |

Time to Go for the Kill
|
22.5.2013 |
American Spectator |
| The IRS scandal provides Republicans and conservatives with the opportunity to repeal and replace Obamacare now. The House Republican majority should refuse to fund the expansion of the IRS necessary to manage Obamacare. Without that funding, and hiring thousands of additional agents, the IRS cannot even begin to manage Obamacare.
President Obama may throw a fit. He may refuse to sign funding bills to keep the federal government open. No matter. Let him close his government down if he wants. Nobody wants the IRS playing political games with their health care and health records, like it did with the constitutional rights to freedom of speech and Equal Protection of Tea Party and conservative organizations. Contribute to the Republican Party? Attend a Tea Party protest? Good luck getting your Obamacare health insurance tax credit application approved. Good luck finding a doctor the government will pay to do that operation your kid needs.
Obama can flail away all he wants. The public will now ... |
