The Drugs Prescribed to You May Do More Harm Than Good July 14th, 2008

The disturbing facts are out that at least 1.5 million Americans are the victims of being injured, sick or killed errors in prescription drugs. This includes all kinds of errors associated with prescription drugs including prescribing, dosage and dispensing. This is an extremely alarming amount of mistakes that are being made with how people are getting and taking prescription drugs.

Even more alarming, recent studies have indicated that each year the errors created by drugs account for 400,000 injuries that could be prevented, as well as deaths that occur in the hospital. Over 800,000 incidents like this happen like to the elderly in the care of nursing homes or other facilities. And, astonishingly, these numbers continue to rise and problems continue to grow among professionals in the health care industry and facilities.

The disturbing twist to this information is how taking prescription drugs is supposed to be helping the person and improving conditions, but actual findings suggest that an increasing number of people who rely on prescription drugs are actually falling victim to mistakes made by the professionals who provide them.

As if this information was not alarming enough, most hospitals report that they do not always disclose prescription drug errors unless they actually end up causing serious injury or death. Therefore, there could be many more of these mistakes being made that go unreported.

As frustrating as the situation is, there is not a lot that we can do to prevent it from happening. However, we do need to pay more attention to this serious matter and address it. One such way to make it right is to seek legal guidance if you or someone you know has been a victim of malpractice from prescription drug errors.

Malpractice in the Psychiatric Field July 11th, 2008

Those who have been the victim of psychiatric malpractice or who know someone who has, are aware of the implications and repercussions. Mental health care is supposed to be one of the most trusted sources available to those in need and patients put their respect and trust in the hands of those who provide psychiatric care. These problems also frequently ignored or dismissed when patients who have been victims of psychiatric malpractice have gone forward with claims.

For patients with a history of emotional troubles, erratic behavior and other kinds of mental problems seem to be easy targets when it comes to psychiatric malpractice. The stigma of mental illness seems to be a continuing problem that does not allow a lot of room for complaints from mental patients. If you or someone you know thinks they have experienced psychiatric malpractice but are unsure, here are some basic real claims of malpractice you should know about:

• Failure of the practitioner to diagnose the problem

• Failure to treat the problem

• Failure to recognize that the condition is worsening

If you think any of these situations apply to you or someone you know, you need to report them. Psychiatric malpractice is a real problem that needs to be addressed.

Eggspectations March 13th, 2008

Eggs are an excellent source of nourishment throughout the world, containing proteins and useful amounts of fat-soluble vitamin A, D, E as well as the B vitamins. Eggs are also rich in dietary cholesterol, which is a cause of concern for people who already have raised blood cholesterol levels, in which case a limited intake is advised.

So how many eggs per week can we safely eat? Most health experts suggest 4-5 eggs a week, but do keep in mind t hat other sources such as mayonnaise, biscuits and cakes also contain eggs. A large egg has 6-8 gms of protein and 5-7 gms of fat, a small portion of which is saturated fat. A single egg yolk can provide u p to 440 gms of cholesterol. Lecithin, a group of phospholipids found in egg yolks, helps in the transportation of cholesterol in the bloodstream, treats accumulation of fat in the liver, as well as certain neurological ailments.

Despite public concerns regarding the downside of egg consumption, they remain a popular favorite among the young and the old alike. After all, who can resist a tempting chocolate brownie or a deliciously inviting piece of fudge cake, not to mention the mouth-watering sumptuous cheese omelet and eggs sweets for breakfast on a lazy Sunday morning!
