Nurse throws out donated kidney After an Ohio man, Paul, donated his kidney to his older sister, a nurse who had just come back from her lunch break mistakenly threw the kidney into the medical waste bin. The sister, named Sarah, was suffering from renal disease, which is when the kidney doesn't filter waste from blood like it should. After the nurse threw out the kidney, Sarah had to go through four surgeries and, after 3 months, got a new kidney. The new kidney, doctors say, is a much worse match to Sarah than her brother's, which was an almost perfect match. A kidney that is a bad match means the patient's body might reject the organ, and then she'll need a new one. The hospital has asked that a lawsuit not be filed. Multiple family members of Sarah and Paul are asking for $25,000 each. http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/30/health/transplant-kidney-thrown-away/index.html?hpt=hp_t3

Nurse throws out donated kidney

The new kidney, doctors say, is a much worse match to Sarah than her brother's, which was an almost perfect match. A kidney that is a bad match means the patient's body might reject the organ, and then she'll need a new one. The hospital has asked that a lawsuit not be filed.

The 64-year-old, Diana Nyad is trying to become the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage. Thats 112 statute miles. That's 35 more miles then anyone has ever swam. It's her fourth attempt in the last three years. She tried three times in 2011 and 2012. Most of Nyad's previous attempts were stopped by run-ins with box jellyfish. With about 6.5 miles to go, Nyad was contacted by her support team, who were concerned she was cold and in pain. According to her team, she rebuffed offers to replace her swim cap, which fell off during the night, and instead kept swimming. She finished achieving her goal.

On Monday Sunichi Tanaka, the chairman of Japan's nuclear watchdog, says that multiple tanks and pipes are leaking, from the Fukishima nuclear plant. This comes after the recent spike in radiation levels detected over the weekend. Since the 2011 March earthquake the plants several storage tanks for the nuclear reactors where made quickly as temporary arrangements and those tanks seem to be the problem. It was reported that only a small amount of water escaped the tanks this time its only a few weeks after it was admitted 300 tons of water escaped from another tanks. The japanese government is trying to fix there government, they say they may have to dump amounts of the radiation into the Pacific ocean. No matter what they still have to decommission the nuclear react, which likely will take 30 to 40 years.

Scientists are trying to solve the mystery of what happened at a reform school in South Florida. The Dozier School for Boys has had nearly 100 deaths in the 111 years that it was open. Many of the deaths were from a dormitory fire in 1914 and a flu epidemic in 1918. But past students have came forward and told stories of alleged beatings, torture, sexual abuse, killings, and the disappearance of other students. There are 31 white crosses that marked where the children were laid to rest. But there are still 22 other children that died and were never accounted for. Using ground penetrating radar scientists discovered another 19 bodies buried in the area, all completely unmarked. In total they found an estimated 50 graves.

ReplyDeletePresident Obama seems to be working quite hard to get votes to allow military attacks on Syria. Conversations began over the weekend. Obama talked with Congress, asking for permission to attack Syria. The Assad Regime apparently used chemical weapons against rebels. Lawmakers are skeptical because they do not want another war like Iraq, where a country was invaded based on incorrect claims. Technically, Obama does not need the permission of Congress to launch these attacks. "Just because I can, doesn't mean I will," said Obama on the subject.

At a florida reform school for boys, various unaccounted for bodies were found. The thirty one accounted for apparently died of flu, a fire, or pneumonia. 22 were lost because of poorly kept state records. This school is known for its brutal past. There were ruthless beatings, sexual assaults, torture, and even killings. This took place in the 40's 50's and 60's.

Donated kidney thrown out by a Nurse.
ReplyDeleteAfter an Ohio man, Paul, donated his kidney to his older sister. A nurse, coming back from her lunch, accidentally threw Paul's kidney into the medical waste bin. The sister, Sarah, was suffering from renal disease, which is when the kidney doesn't filter waste from blood like it should. Three months after the nurse threw out the kidney and four surgeries, Sarah finally got her kidney. The new kidney is a bad match to Sarah than her brother's would have been, which was an almost perfect match. If a kidney is a bad match that might mean the patient's body might reject the organ and if that happens she'll need a new one.

There's no specific restrictions. And it just gets them through real slick." If you are qualified you can also renew your license online.
