Honoring our Veteran Heroes

1

 

This Veterans Day, I ask you to pause and reflect to honor those who have worn our nation’s uniform to protect freedom and our American way of life.We are so fortunate to live in a country where our rights are guaranteed and power belongs to the people, rather than to a dictator or monarch. We live in the freest nation on earth, and we owe that to the courageous men and women that answered the call to protect those freedoms; freedoms we often take for granted.

We recognize that without the bravery and sacrifice of our veterans, America as we know it could not exist. Many have paid the ultimate price on foreign soil to assure that our nation remains the torchlight of freedom throughout the world.

November is also a month to give thanks, so if you are a veteran, please know that we are forever grateful for your sacrifice, and I want to personally thank you for your service.

Additionally, if you know someone who has served in the Armed Forces, I encourage you to extend a personal greeting or a home-cooked meal to them to show your appreciation. At the least, I encourage you to join me in thanking them for their service.

We live in the greatest nation on earth and it remains so because of the incredible sacrifices made by our uniformed heroes.

God Bless Each of Them and God Bless America!

PEDIATRIC PSYCHOLOGIST HOSTING OPEN FORUM ON YOUTH AND TECHNOLOGY

0

The average young person today spends more time immersed in media and technology than in school or sleeping. This trend is having a profound impact on children and adolescents. Dr. Jim Schroeder, Pediatric Psychologist at St. Mary’s Center for Children, will host the forum, open to parents entitled “The Story of Media, Technology, and Our Youth of Today.”

Tuesday, November 18, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.in Kempf Auditorium at Mater Dei High School.

While there may be benefits to technology, including the availability of information and resources, there are a number of risks as well. Studies have shown many forms of media and technology contribute to increased aggression and violent behavior, sleep problems, obesity, poor academic performance, and negative self-image. The use of mobile devices has also led to an increase in dangerous driving behaviors, such as texting while driving.
The forum will be an opportunity for parents, educators, and health care professionals to discuss how potential benefits can be maximized, and how risks can be reduced. The event is free, no registration is required. Adults only, please. Dr. Schroeder has also written a series on the

COA: Standard of care same for all doctors

Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled in a medical malpractice claim brought by a former inmate who had gender reassignment surgery that the standard of care for doctors practicing inside prisons is the same as the standard of care for those practicing outside of prison.

Christa Allen had gender reassignment surgery in January 2002, which included the construction of a vaginal vault. As part of her treatment, her doctor, Alan Neal Wilson, prescribed hormone therapy and the use of a vaginal stent, a soft plastic appliance worn internally like a tampon. The stent keeps the vaginal vault dilated and prevents atrophy.

When Allen first entered the Department of Correction in June 2006, the correction facility allowed her to use the stint. But later the superintendent determined its use was a security breach. The DOC allowed for alternatives, but they caused issues for Allen. After her release in late 2007, Wilson examined Allen and found that because of her inability to use the stent, her vaginal vault had contracted and become unusable. The doctor estimated it would cost between $60,000 and $120,000 to restore Allen’s vagina.

Allen filed her proposed medical malpractice complaint against the three doctors who treated her while in prison. A review panel ruled in favor of the doctors, as did Marion Superior Judge Health Welch. Welch determined that Allen failed to provide expert testimony to rebut the opinion of the medical review panel when she only presented testimony from Wilson. Welch also held that doctors practicing in the prison system have a different standard of care than those practicing in the general population.

In Christa Allen v. Richard Hinchman, M.D.; Richard Tanner, M.D.; and Jeffery Smith, M.D., 49A02-1311-PL-975, the appeals judges disagreed.

“[W]e recognize that medical care in the DOC involves additional considerations not present in a hospital or general care facility. However, we cannot find that physicians practicing in prisons may deviate from the standard of care without reasonable, articulable concerns. In short, we do not find that physicians practicing in prisons may determine the standard of care based on the circumstances and concerns facing them with regard to individual patients, especially when such concerns remain vague and nebulous. To do so would be to empower prison physicians to determine for themselves what standard of care should apply based on each individual case, a practice we will not endorse,” Judge John Baker wrote.

As such, Wilson was qualified to testify as an expert. The medical review panel found the doctors did not breach their standard of care and that Allen’s damages were not causally linked to the care they provided. But Wilson’s expert testimony rebutted the medical review board, so summary judgment was inappropriate.
