In a prior FTCA case, plaintiff asserted malpractice for treatment at the VA from December 1976 through July 1980. The district court in that case found that the VA system failed to provide adequate medical care to plaintiff and awarded him $474,000 in damages.�See Deasy v. United States,�No. 83-M-899 (. Dec. 27, 1985); II 383-405. Plaintiff then investigated obtaining private insurance coverage as an alternative to VA services but found he could not obtain coverage for his preexisting condition. The remaining 3% of causes of neck and back pain are considered non-mechanical, but they can be further divided into non-mechanical spinal conditions (1%) and visceral (internal organ-related) conditions (2%). Of the non-mechanical spinal conditions, neoplasias/malignancies comprise 0.7% while infections and inflammatory arthritides (inflammation of joints due to infectious, metabolic, or constitutional causes)�comprise the remaining 0.3%. Of the 2% visceral complications, etiologies are potentially due to vascular problems (aortic aneurysms, retroperitoneal hemorrhage, coronary syndromes, etc.), prostatitis, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, kidney stones/infections, pancreatitis, cholecystitis or ulcer perforation. Thus, the sub-categories of non-mechanical neck and back pain have very small incidences in the global sense, but they are potentially more serious with more ominous consequences, including paralysis and death, making them diagnoses not to be missed or ignored.

It is, of course possible, as the defendants suggested throughout the trial, that the true or more immediate cause of the mastitis was improper bedding, unsanitary stalls, or even mud in the barnyard. Neither Beale's own perceptions nor those made known to him at or before trial would allow this expert to rule out these possibilities. Nevertheless, we do not find the greater wisdom in a rule which would require an evidentiary basis of this sort. To the extent that they are credible, the absence of an evidentiary basis upon which an expert may rule out other potential causes may reduce the credibility of the expert.14 To the extent 414 that other potential causes are substantiated by the evidence of record, they may also support a verdict of comparative negligence.15 However, to require for each expert an evidentiary basis sufficient to negate all of the possible causes which might be asserted by opposing counsel would virtually eliminate expert testimony.16 We require only expertise of experts, not omniscience. In our view, it is sufficient if the expert has an evidentiary basis for his own conclusions. See, generally, 7 Wigmore, Evidence (Chadbourn rev), � 1922, pp 26-29. Baylor County

Commonwealth of Virginia Marine Resources Commission 10/25/2005 Introduction: Although the literature on self-medication among Latino migrant workers (LMWs) is sparse, a few existing studies indicate that this practice is common in this community. The purpose of this paper is to estimate health status, access to health care, and patterns of self-medication practices of a cohort of LMWs in South Florida. Methods: A stratified network-based sample was utilized to recruit 278 LMWs in the Homestead area. After screening for eligibility, participants were administered a structured questionnaire that collected data on their health status, access to health care services, and self-medication practices. A convenience sample of 24 LMWs, who participated in the parent study were invited back to participate in 3 focus groups to look more in depth into self-medication practices in the LMW community. Results: Study findings indicate that LMWs are affected by a vast array of health problems yet lack access to health care services. Participants already engaged in self-medication practices in the countries of origin and, upon their arrival in the US, these practices continue and, in many cases, increase. Conclusion: Long-held traditions and lack of access to the formal health care system in the US contribute to the high prevalence of self-medication among LMWs. Self-medication practices such as the use of prescription medications without a prescription and lay injection are high risk practices that can have harmful consequences. Prevention interventions that address self-medication in the LMW community are likely to be most effective if they are culturally adapted to the community and facilitate access to health care services.

He was sentenced to a one-year minimum commitment consecutive with a mandatory court-imposed year commitment for the gun specification to be served at the Department of Youth Services (DYS).

In the case of a wrongful death claim, survivors may also be entitled to compensation from the time the malpractice occurred to the patient's death. In some cases, future financial losses of the family may also be calculated into these damages. This case is once again before us. In 1999, Xavier Lightfoot and Cornelius Peoples were convicted of aiding and abetting the murder of a federal witness, in violation of 18 U.S.C. �� 1512(a). Here, the designated evidence indicates there was a health care provider-patient relationship 7 between Bethlehem and 'Neal. The complaint states that one of 'Neal's daughters told a Bethlehem employee about 'Neal's susceptibility to bruising and that the employee agreed to give 'Neal a �head-to-toe' assessment upon admission, regular assessments during shift changes, and treatment from a nurse who specialized in wound care. Appellant's App. at 8. The complaint also indicates that 'Neal was admitted to Bethlehem's facility following these discussions. Although it would have been helpful for Bethlehem to designate additional evidence describing the nature of its relationship with 'Neal, 8 we are convinced their relationship can generally be described as that of a health care provider and a patient. Although only a couple of experts contend that age alone should be the deciding factor in determining whether or not a doctor should practice medicine, several studies prove that physician skills tend to decline over time. According to a recent report, patient deaths in complicated surgeries were more common among surgeons aged 60+ than among their younger counterparts.

And his defense that his claim was accepted by the WCB does not mean it was timely filed with the WCB. The Court wrote, However, such notice need not be given where notice of the occurrence has been filed �in accordance with the provisions of the workers' compensation law' or if the �failure to file notice has been excused for good cause shown as provided by rules and regulations promulgated by respondent.' Here, although petitioner initially claims that the notice provision should be excused because he filed a workers' compensation claim, such claim was not filed within the time permitted by Workers' Compensation Law � 18. The ultimate decision of the Workers' Compensation Board to excuse the untimeliness of that claim was not binding on respondent and did not preclude denial of his retirement application.
