Another Lawsuit Filed Following
DePuy Hip Implant Recall
Illinois Nursing Home Abuse Blog (blog)
Our Chicago nursing home lawyers at
Levin & Perconti are closely following
the developments of the situation as
many nursing home residents in the ...
<snip>
DePuy Orthopaedics, a division of
Johnson & Johnson, recalled many of the
ASR hip implant systems after data
from the National Joint Registry showed
that 1 in 8 patients needed corrective
surgery within five years following
hip implants surgeries with one of
those devices. However, information has
revealed that the company was aware
of the problem long before the joint
registry issued its reports perhaps
years earlier. However it waited
before issuing the recall, allowing
thousands more patients to be fitted
with the defective and damaging medical
device.

They say life is a journey; so is
going to the bathroom
Asheville Citizen-Times
I must rely upon my caregivers at
the nursing home when nature calls.
They use a mechanical lift and a
sling to transfer me from my power
wheelchair to the ...
<snip>
When the large metal lift suspends me
above the floor in the canvas sling,
I look like I am in a catapult. All it
takes is for the CNA to push the
Launch button and I will be in the
next county. I told you I would get
you for biting my finger when I was
brushing your teeth!” LAUNCH! After
the CNA gets my pants and underwear
down, she puts straps between my legs.
When the straps are attached to the
lift, the CNA pushes a button and up I
go. Does anyone see a problem here?
Obviously, a woman designed the sling
after a bad divorce. As the lift picks
up more and more of my weight off
my chair, my voice changes from bass
to tenor to alto to soprano. When I
am fully suspended, my pitch is higher
than humans can hear. Glasses break.
Dogs bark.

HEALTH :
HEALTH CARE :
COUNTRIES: UNITED STATES:
US Slips to 49th in Life Expectancy:
Study
<snip>
The noteworthy decline is highlighted
by the fact that in 1999, the World
Health Organization ranked the US as
24th in the world in the same
category, life expectancy. The report
by Muenning and Glied found the
prime culprit of the plunge to be
America's deteriorating health care
system, marred by ever-rising costs
and growing numbers of uninsured and
under-insured individuals. Noting that
the United States spends over twice
as much per capita on health care than
other industrialized nations, it
adds: "The observation that Americans
are spending relatively more on
health but living relatively shorter,
less healthy lives has led some
critics to allege that the US health
care system is 'uniquely
inefficient.'"
