 “Impaled”

This is an actual military emergency room photo of a man who lost control of his high speed boat. We believe that he was t raveling at a speed of approximately 75 mph at the time of the accident.  He was unable to negotiate a curve in the narrow waterway and unfortunately for him, upon striking the shoreline, he was ejected from the boat and landed on an old fence post. You can probably picture what happened next, but this photograph really says it all.

The good news is after about 6 months, this man made a full recovery after suffering a shattered hip, broken leg, several broken ribs, internal injuries and soft tissue damage. The doctors credited his recovery to the fact that the post lodged itself so tightly that there was little or noblood loss. Now, that’s got to hurt!

“Cheesy Ambulance”

The irony of this Prudential insurance logo on an ambulance in Waltham, a city in Middlesex, MA, is obvious and very cheesy!

“Strawberry Meth”

This is a new drug known as ‘strawberry quick.”  It is a form of crystal meth that looks like strawberry pop rocks (the candy that sizzles and ‘pops’ in your mouth). It smells like strawberry and is being handed out to kids in our schoolyards. Another name is “strawberry meth.” Our children are ingesting this drug thinking it is candy and being rushed off to the hospital in dire conditions. It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange flavors. Please instruct your children not to accept candy from strangers or even accept candy that looks like this from a friend (who may have been given it and believes it candy). Instruct them to immediately take any candy/drug that they may have to a teacher, principal, etc. Pass this ME-Pr post to as many people as you can (even if they do not have kids), We must raise awareness and hopefully prevent any tragedies from occurring. I do not want to see your kids – in my ER.

“Benjamins for Healthcare”

This photo was submitted by a physician whose patient wanted to pay in cash for medical care. The incident takes the concept of high-deductible Health Savings Accounts [HSAs], or concierge medical practice, to another level.

“Going Galt”

From a tea-party protesting against President Obama’s healthcare bill, in Seattle Washington, at the Northgate Center! The term “Going Galt” suggests that there are physicians and other citizen producers taking a lesson from Ayn Rand’s novel, “Atlas Shrugged”, who are trying to reduce their own productivity in order to minimize the amount of tax money they send to the government.

Healthcare Fraud Goes Mainstream

Five million, four hundred thousand, dollars in cash was seized during a raid on this fraudulent durable medical equipment [DME] billing enterprise near Washington, DC. Trace amounts of cocaine and nitrate residue were also found on the bills. Some suggest that healthcare fraud is going “main-stream” as an easy alternative to violent crime in the underworld.

Safe Dental Amalgam Removal?

Imaginative dental care stakeholders armed with frightening stories about “mercury fillings” happen to have swell solutions for sale, and are hoping for business help in the way of a federal mandate of some kind. If the alarmists have their way with the FDA, and you happen to have the same kind of silver/mercury alloy fillings in your mouth that haven’t caused your ancestors harm for over a hundred years, this is the modern way to remove them safely. Let’s get silly.

A New Meth Lab Definition

According to Wikipedia, Methamphetamine (pronounced /ˌmɛθæmˈfɛtəmiːn/ listen), also known as metamfetamine (INN), methylamphetamine, N-methylamphetamine, desoxyephedrine, and colloquially as meth, is a psychostimulant of the phenethylamine and amphetamine class of drugs. It increases alertness, concentration, energy, and in high doses, can induce euphoria, enhance self-esteem, and increase libido. Methamphetamine has high potential for abuse and addiction by activating the psychological reward system via triggering a cascading release of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain. Methamphetamine is FDA approved for the treatment of ADHD and exogenous obesity, marketed in the USA and Canada under the trademark name Desoxyn.
