Do you have pain, numbness, or a “pins and needles” sensation in one or both of your hands? Do your fingers feel swollen? Do you notice weakness when gripping objects with one or both of your hands? If you answered “yes” to any one of these questions, it is possible that you may be suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome.
It is estimated that 1 to 3 persons per 1,000 per year experience carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition is the result of compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel of the wrist. There are several causes for carpal tunnel syndrome, including:
- Frequent repetitive motion involving fine motor skills, such as typing or manipulating small tools
- Frequent repetitive grasping movements. This can come from sports or a job that requires repetitive use of the hands to perform physical tasks
- Arthritis, whether osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
- Hormonal changes, such as pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid problems
- Blood sugar fluctuations, as seen in diabetes
- Wrist injuries
- Misalignment of one or more of the wrist (carpal) bones
The most common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are:
- Loss of grip strength
- Pain or numbness in the hand, particularly in the thumb, index finger, and middle finger
- “Pins and needles” sensation in these fingers
- These fingers also may feel like they are swollen
- Pain or numbness that is commonly worse at night and interferes with sleep
The best way to diagnose if you have carpal tunnel syndrome is with electrodiagnostic tests, such as nerve conduction velocity (NCV) testing. This test measures how fast the affected nerve transmits signals.
There are treatment options available if you do have carpal tunnel syndrome including splints, exercises, changing your worksite, anti-inflammatory medications, and in the worst case there is surgery. However, one frequently overlooked treatment is chiropractic care. Chiropractic treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome may include adjusting the affected wrist to restore normal alignment of the carpal bones to remove pressure on the median nerve. It may also consist of gentle wrist traction or even deep tissue laser therapy.
It is important to bear in mind that there are other conditions that may mimic the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. One of these conditions is misalignment (known as subluxation) of one or more of the bones in the neck. This can put pressure on the nerves as they leave the spine, creating similar symptoms to carpal tunnel syndrome. Another condition is a bulging disc in the neck putting pressure on the nerve root. If this is the cause of your symptoms, no splint, wrist exercise, or wrist surgery will ever correct the problem. This is where chiropractic care really shines at correcting the underlying problem that is causing your condition.
Chiropractic care for these conditions is likely to consist of spinal adjustments to correct the misalignments and relieve pressure on the nerve roots. Spinal decompression may also be used to take the pressure off the discs and nerves. Postural rehabilitation exercises may be utilized to reduce abnormal postural stresses and to strengthen the muscles that support the spine. Another treatment modality that some chiropractors will use is deep tissue laser therapy to decrease pain, decrease inflammation, and accelerate the healing of the involved tissues.
If you suffer from any of the symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, it is important to determine the underlying cause, so you receive the proper treatment.


As the prevalence of sleep apnea continues to rise, the demand for effective treatments has never been higher. Among the most popular treatments for sleep apnea is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy. However, a shortage of CPAP devices across the United States has left many without access to this crucial treatment.
Fortunately, there are alternative treatments available at the Sleep Center of Littleton, a leading snoring and sleep apnea center in Colorado. Learn what’s causing the CPAP shortage and the effective alternatives to CPAP that you can turn to, and then schedule a complimentary consultation with us today.


mRNA vaccine inventor-turned-truth teller Dr. Robert Malone just revealed how Anthem Medicaid was incentivizing doctors to push the dangerous COVID-19 vaccines by promising $50 for every Anthem member aged 5 years and older who got jabbed by Dec. 31, 2022.
So what if 13 million people died worldwide from the vaccines? So what if millions more were vaccine-injured? The federal government was dishing out taxpayer money for every vaccine administered to Anthem members!

Babies may projectile vomit occasionally, but if it happens after every feed, see your doctor right away as it may be due to a blockage caused by thickening of the muscle at the outlet of the stomach.
Can overfeeding a baby cause projectile vomiting?
Forceful or projectile vomiting, though, or spitting up large amounts of milk after most feedings, can be a sign of a problem. In formula-fed babies, vomiting may happen after overfeeding, or because of an intolerance to formula.
Why does my newborn projectile vomit?
Projectile vomiting is when spit-up or vomit forcefully flies out of a baby’s mouth. If your baby begins projectile vomiting, contact your doctor immediately. It could be a sign of pyloric stenosis, which is a common condition in young infants.
Should I feed my newborn after projectile vomiting?
Offer your baby a feeding after they’ve stopped throwing up. If your baby is hungry and takes to the bottle or breast after vomiting, go right ahead and feed them. Liquid feeding after vomiting can sometimes even help settle your baby’s nausea. Start with small amounts of milk and wait to see if they vomit again.
When should I be concerned about my baby vomiting?
See your baby’s pediatrician if your baby has vomiting for longer than 12 hours. Babies can get dehydrated quickly if they’re vomiting. Get immediate medical attention if your baby is vomiting and has other symptoms and signs like: diarrhea.
Is it normal for my 2 week old to projectile vomit?
Projectile vomiting after a feeding is a hallmark symptom of a condition called pyloric stenosis, which usually starts a few weeks after birth. If your baby is vomiting forcefully, call his doctor right away. Babies who can’t keep food down need help quickly to avoid dehydration, weight loss, and other complications.
What does projectile vomit mean?
Projectile vomiting is a type of severe vomiting in which stomach contents can be forcefully propelled several feet away from you. It usually comes in shorter, more violent bursts than other types of vomiting.
How much vomit is normal for a newborn?
Baby vomiting after feeding
Once your baby is taking larger volumes of milk, it is very normal for her to vomit, or ‘regurgitate’, part of the milk around feed time. (However, some babies do not vomit much until they are about 2 to 3 months old.) Your baby may vomit a lot, or only on occasions.
Can babies choke on vomit while sleeping?
Myth: Babies who sleep on their backs will choke if they spit up or vomit during sleep. Fact: Babies automatically cough up or swallow fluid that they spit up or vomit—it’s a reflex to keep the airway clear. Studies show no increase in the number of deaths from choking among babies who sleep on their backs.
How do I get my baby to stop throwing up after feeding?
Remedies for Spitty Babies
- Avoid overfeeding. Like a gas tank, fill baby’s stomach it too full (or too fast) and it’s going to spurt right back out at you. …
- Burp your baby more frequently. …
- Limit active play after meals and hold your baby upright. …
- Consider the formula. …
- Try a little oatmeal.

We were delighted to partner with the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) to provide the opportunity for young eye doctors and medical students based in Ireland to travel to the USA and undertake exciting retinal imaging research over the summer.
The International Scholars in Retinal Imaging program at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) is designed to give promising young clinician scientists a unique experience whereby they acquire specialised knowledge and skills in retinal imaging.
In particular, this program provides exposure to a revolutionising technique called Adaptive Optics (AO). This allows for the non-invasive visualisation of some of the smallest human structures in the living retina such as light sensitive rod and cone photoreceptors. In fact, AO is fast becoming a tool which will play a key role in the diagnosis, management and treatment of eye diseases such as inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs).
Target 5000 Clinical Fellow Dr Niamh Wynne, who is based at the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital (RVEEH) Research Foundation in Dublin, spent three months working under the supervision of Prof Joseph Carroll at the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science’s Advanced Ocular Imaging Program (AOIP) in MCW.
Complimenting her time in Target 5000 clinics whereby she played a key role in the recruitment and clinical assessment of IRD patients, Dr Wynne was trained in the use of use of adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO). Building on this, she subsequently used a variety of imaging technologies to examine patients with IRDs and gain a greater understanding of these conditions.
In addition, Niamh studied how variation in a gene called tyrosinase can impact the development of the human fovea, an area located in the macula responsible for central vision. Mutations in the tyrosinase gene can also cause a form of albinism. Dr. Wynne will be presenting some of her results at the Retina 2019 Scientific Programme which takes place on Friday, November 15, 2019 at the Davenport Hotel, Dublin 2.
Amy Ward, a medical student at University College Dublin also undertook an internship over the Summer at MCW. Again under the supervision of Prof Carroll, Amy worked on a project examining retinal structure in patients with high myopia and colour blindness (Bornholm Eye Disease).
As the prevalence of myopia is growing worldwide, studies like these can inform as to the mechanisms underlying the development of the disease. Amy will also be presenting her work at Retina 2019 Public Engagement Day.
Adaptive Optics (AO) holds huge potential to increase our understanding of retinal degenerations, how they progress over time and even how individual cells may respond to treatment. This level of imaging is expected to be very important in the characterisation of patients with retinal disease ahead of clinical trials.
As such, it is of great importance to Fighting Blindness to support the development of adaptive optics expertise in Ireland. A critical aspect to this effort is the training of the next generation of clinician scientists so that they may apply it in their future careers here in Ireland.
We would like to thank Prof Carroll and all the staff at MCW for their efforts in establishing this partnership.

Fungal infections are spreading through hospitals across New York at an alarming rate.
A particularly nasty strain of fungal infection has been spreading across hospitals throughout New York and New Jersey, sickening patients and frustrating public health authorities. Infections of Candida Auris, a common fungus, first appeared in Japan back in 2009, and traveled to three continents since then. Cases started appearing in the U.S. last year, and since that time, nearly 100 patients have acquired them. The majority of the infections - over 85 percent - are concentrated in New York and New Jersey facilities.
Unlike traditional yeast and fungal infections, though, C. Auris (as its commonly known), is particularly hard to eradicate because it is resistant to most of the widely used anti-fungal medications. It spreads rapidly through the body and bloodstream, often introduced through vein catheters placed after surgery and during long-term convalescence. These patients are already at risk because their immune systems are compromised. Add in a virulent strain of infection that has the ability to kill about half the people who contract it, and their bodies can be overwhelmed.
Even if hospitals follow proper cleanliness and disinfection protocols, it is possible for C. Auris and other infections to spread from patient to patient. They are sometimes spread through equipment like endoscopes (a major outbreak of endoscope-spread superbugs affected hospitals across the West Coast several years ago), by staffers who pick up spores on their clothes while attending patients, through ventilation systems and by other means.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cautions hospitals and medical facilities to actively take steps to prevent hospital-acquired infections, particularly among patients in intensive care units and long-term convalescence. It is important for patients to understand the potential risks and symptoms; the earliest possible treatment for a hospital-acquired infection is key to the best chance of recovery.
As you can see, the circumstances in which you can contract fungal or viral infections in a hospital setting are numerous. If the facility doesn't take infection prevention protocols seriously, infections are likely. This can be a tell-tale sign of medical malpractice or lax system-wide cleanliness procedures.
If you or someone you love has suffered a serious infection while hospitalized, you may have a legal claim. Contact an experienced medical negligence attorney like those at the New York City law firm of Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff, LLP. They've successfully helped thousands of injured clients collect compensation. Call them toll free today at 212-344-1000 or contact them online to schedule a free consultation.

Reports of deaths related to the new coronavirus continue to slow in Colorado, with state health officials for the second straight day announcing no new fatalities tied directly to COVID-19 and only two additional deaths of people who had contracted the virus.
Deaths announced by Colorado’s Department of Public Health and Environment each day have not necessarily occurred in the last 24 hours, as there can be a lag of days or even weeks in reporting them to the state — particularly when it comes to those whose death certificates show they died from the COVID-19 respiratory disease.
Overall, coronavirus deaths in Colorado have been declining since their mid-April peak, state data shows.
State health officials recently began reporting the number of people who died who had been infected by the virus, and not necessarily killed by it, as well as those whose deaths have been directly attributed to COVID-19. As of Sunday, 1,445 people with the coronavirus had died in Colorado and 1,181 deaths were directly caused by COVID-19.
Hospitalizations of coronavirus patients continue their decline, with 297 people currently hospitalized for COVID-19 in Colorado — the first time that number has fallen below 300 since March 27. All told, 4,347 people have been hospitalized for COVID-19 since the virus was first confirmed in the state in early March.
Private facilities and the state-run lab tested 7,517 people on Saturday, according to state data. Colorado’s daily testing rate — 132 tests per 100,000 people per day — is close to the 152 tests per 100,000 people level that health officials say is needed to understand where the virus is spreading.
To date, 26,378 people have tested positive for or are believed to have COVID-19, though health officials say they believe the true number is much higher.
Officials also have confirmed outbreaks at 281 contained facilities across the state, including nursing homes, jails and factories — one more than the previous day.

FORT MYERS — Lee Memorial Health System will be helping patients with cognitive issues manage their medications better with a pilot grant from Cardinal Health Foundation.
The $31,500 grant will help the hospital's nurses coach patients with cognitive issues how to manage their medications when they have chronic medical conditions. Cardinal Health is one of the nation's leading distributors of medications and health care supplies.
Cardinal Health has awarded more than $7 million to 249 hospitals to improve patient safety and save hospital costs through the program called E3. One of the goals of this year's programs is to fund projects that will improve patient safety as they move from the hospital back to their homes.
“Cardinal Health has a vested interest in helping health care providers save days, dollars and lives by working collaboratively to improve the quality of care nationwide,” says Dianne Radigan, Cardinal's vice president of community relations, in a statement.


Interesting. The femur or long thigh bone is the longest single bone. The biggest or heaviest bone is the innomate structure that is the large bowl shaped structure between your two hips. In side this bony cage, human babies develop in a place safe from impact in the early stages of pregnancy. The smallest bone - even smaller than any of the ossicles in your ears - is an exostosis. These are a tiny pearl shaped bony structures that form inside muscles, especially where there is frequent impact during normal activity. Horse riders get these in their gluteal muscles at the point of impact.

Study on Synthesis, Characterization and Antituberculosis Activity of Biologically Nanostructured Zinc and Titanium Metal Compounds
New Innovations in Chemistry and Biochemistry Vol. 5,
6 December 2021
Green chemistry was used to obtain nano-range sized titanium and zinc compounds from their macro-sizes by using an aqueous extract of horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum). Green technology allows the transformation of metal ions into metal nanoparticles through inherent biochemical processes. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometers were employed for characterizing the nanoparticles of biosynthesized metal nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to analyse the reduced nanoparticles of Ti and Zn metals. Micro dilution was employed to determine in vitro properties, such as effects of nano complex antimicrobials on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H37RV strain. MTB strains isolated from patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) were resistant to first-line drugs. Novel synthesized nano-complexes exhibited potential antituberculosis activities. Titanium nano complexes exhibited the highest minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) in comparison to zinc nano complex. In a cytotoxic study, an IC50 of 1000 µg/mL, for both Ti and Zn nano complexes, was reported, and thus, these complexes were non-toxic when compared to isoniazid.

Hard Time Dealing With Tinnitus? Read These Tips.
It can be hard to live with tinnitus. You may feel as if you are the only one dealing with this condition, but know that you are not alone. Others that have suffered from tinnitus know what you are going through. The following tips have been useful for others who endure tinnitus symptoms, and they will no doubt help you out too.
Medication can be a cause of tinnitus, but it can also help to ease the symptoms. Various antidepressants and anxiety-related drugs can actually have many positives effects on tinnitus. Consult your physician to see if drug therapy can be used to improve your tinnitus symptoms. Your doctor may prescribe other treatments along with medication for tinnitus. Both cognitive therapy and biofeedback treatments work effectively for some people.
Establish a bedtime schedule that will help you relax and make sure you follow the routine every night. A lot of tinnitus sufferers have problems falling asleep or remaining asleep. With a nighttime routine, this may not be as much of an issue. Relax yourself by engaging in meditation, deep breathing or stretching exercises before bed. This will help you relax and keep your blood pressure low.
Do your best to minimize stress. Having a constant noise that is distracting you is stressful enough, you do not need to add to that. Seek out time management techniques to help you avoid feeling rushed, and work through emotional concerns. By taking these steps, your overall stress levels will be lower when you are forced to deal with your tinnitus.
Invest in a sound machine and use it at night. The extra noise in the background might reduce your tinnitus enough that you’ll have an easier time falling asleep. There have been some cases where people found the white noise made their tinnitus worse. You’ll have to experiment and determine what works best for your specific needs.
Bring a list of medications you take, both prescribed and over-the-counter, to your doctor when seeking a diagnosis for tinnitus. There are a number of medications that can cause tinnitus through side effects. Combining some medications can also cause tinnitus. So bring everything along and discuss things with your doctor.
It is important to keep a good attitude when you are dealing with tinnitus. Do not let the problem depress you. You will only make your problem worse by dwelling on it. Make an effort to focus on positive thoughts so that your mind is not overwhelmed with the thought of having tinnitus.
Tinnitus, which can be described as noises in the head or ears, affects many children. Frequent causes are inner-ear or sinus infections. First, be sure to get your child treated for these kinds of conditions. You can then help your child understand that the noise is temporary and will likely disappear when the infection is gone.
The information here has proven to help other tinnitus sufferers. Other people suffer from this condition, as well. There are ways to treat it as well as ways that have been carefully examined by other sufferers. These methods will have hopefully helped you figure out what issues you have.


Say you just made over your smile with some beautiful, custom dental veneers. You’re loving looking at your teeth in the mirror. You’re getting compliments left and right for your new smile. Or maybe you’re considering getting dental veneers and that could be your future self! But what’s the deal with taking care of them so that all that good can last as long as possible? These are some tips for taking care of your dental veneers:
Regular Preventive Oral Care
The great news is that you don’t need to learn a bunch of new methods and tricks for cleaning your teeth. The main thing is that you just need to keep up with standard daily oral hygiene: brush with a soft-bristled manual or electric toothbrush at least twice a day for two minutes each time and floss at least once a day. Veneers are designed to be durable so they can take regular brushing and flossing! We also recommend drinking plenty of water, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco products to keep your gums healthy and strong. And visit us every six months for routine cleanings and checkups.
You don’t want to end up damaging your veneers in a way that could’ve been avoided with the proper precautions! Teeth grinding, also called bruxism, can cause damage to your veneers just like it can your natural teeth so you’ll want to get a custom nightguard if you have a history of grinding your teeth or if you think you might grind your teeth at night. In a similar vein, you should wear a well-fitting athletic mouthguard when participating in physical activities that could involve contact with other people, the ground, or equipment. These oral appliances will do wonders for protecting your veneers. Additionally, avoid opening packaging with your teeth and biting down on hard objects such as ice, pencils, pens, and hard candies.

0 comments on “How to Care for Dental Veneers”


The dentist will apply an anesthetic and move the teeth back in place. They will also be given pain medicine for any discomfort they might feel as a result. Anytime a tooth is knocked loose, it can be a scary time. You don’t need to panic as most of them can easily be fixed.
Is it possible to push teeth back?
Dental veneers are another viable method of pushing back teeth. Porcelain veneers or dental bonding is a phenomenal alternative option to correct teeth deformations. Veneers are thin, hard shells of porcelain that are permanently bonded to the tooth.
How can I push my teeth back naturally?
The simple answer is, no, there are no methods of repositioning your teeth ‘naturally. ‘ The only method to straighten crooked teeth is by using one of a few different appliances under the direction of an orthodontist .
Can I push my front teeth back?
Invisalign can indeed push front teeth back so long as there is enough space for these teeth to move into. If there are gaps behind the protruding front teeth then these gaps will be taken up as the front teeth push back.
What do you do if your tooth gets pushed back?
Here are some things the dentist might do to correct the problem:
- Freeze (numb) the tooth.
- Move them back into place.
- Splint them for stability.
Can wearing retainer move teeth back?
So the answer to the question, “can retainers move teeth back?” is yes, sometimes. If your retainer doesn’t fit snugly or causes pain, be sure to schedule an appointment with your dental professional for their recommendation.
Can you straighten your own teeth?
Can I straighten my teeth myself? No, straightening your own teeth is dangerous and can lead to tooth loss, tooth displacement, gum disease, and other potentially irreversible damage. All teeth straightening should be done under the supervision of a dentist or orthodontist.
Why are my teeth turning inward?
It doesn’t matter if you’ve had orthodontic treatment or not — you may notice that your teeth gradually move over time. It happens for a variety of reasons: periodontal disease, teeth grinding, not wearing a retainer, and plain old aging are all potential causes of shifting teeth.
How can I align my teeth?
What are my options for straightening my teeth?
- Metal braces. Fixed metal braces are attached to the teeth with brackets, bands, and flexible wire. …
- Ceramic braces. …
- Invisible braces. …
- Lingual braces. …
- Teeth-straightening surgery.
Do teeth move as you age?
Your teeth shifting is a natural consequence of aging and regular activity like chewing but can lead to problems if not addressed or severe. It’s a great idea to check in with your dental professional to see if your bite or teeth need any treatment; otherwise, a proper dental routine is your best bet.
How do you fix one tooth that sticks out?
A single misaligned tooth can be repaired in a reasonably efficient way using either removable or fixed retainers. We can help you determine the best choice based upon your lifestyle, comfort level, and other factors. Many patients prefer removable retainers since they do not have to be worn during social occasions.

Tooth extraction, though a popular procedure, is not part of your general dental treatment. It is a procedure done when the dentist deems it necessary to pull your teeth. Remember, when the permanent teeth set in, they are designed to last for a lifetime and once they are extracted, they don’t grow back. Before you come for your tooth extraction procedure, here is what you need to know about the procedure.
At Smile Center Villa Rica, our goal is to preserve the integrity of your teeth as well as promote good gum health. Therefore, we only recommend tooth extraction when there is no other alternative but to pull the teeth. Some of the situations that can warrant the dentist to perform a tooth extraction include:
To minimize the pain, we may use dental sedation and local anesthesia. Sedation is recommended if you have dental phobia, have a severe gag reflex, and tooth sensitivity. Some of the options used include oral sedation, nitrous oxide or laughing gas, IV sedation or general anesthesia.
Once the anesthesia begins to wear off there will be slight discomfort and residual bleeding. The dentist will place a gauze pad to stop the bleeding and prescribe pain medications to ease the discomfort.
How you to take care of your gums after the extraction will determine the healing time. It is therefore important to follow the dentist’s instructions, and here are a few tooth extraction aftercare instructions.
Dry socket is a common complication after extraction. A blood clot develops immediately after the procedure to promote healing. However, certain factors can cause it to break causing pain and bad breath.
You may also have swelling, bleeding, infection, gum tenderness and redness, discomfort, difficulty chewing, and pain.
After the teeth extracted, you will have spaces in between that affect your appearance as well as your dental structure. Filling these spaces is important to maintain the integrity of your teeth, and a few options are available to help you replace the missing teeth. You can choose from dental implants, veneers, bridges, and dental crowns.
Schedule an appointment with our dentist when your gum has completely healed to discuss your dental options. We will assess your dental health and choose a suitable cosmetic dental treatment to fix your smile.


Ratings for Dr. K. Khaled
He is a great doctor. I am a nurse and I have worked with my fair share of doctors. He takes time to talk things over and he listens. He is a very busy man, so if you need the time to talk...book the longer appointment. His nurse and other staff and wonderful and friendly as well. Great doctor!
I feel that this doctor does not really take my or my family's medicical issues seriously. He in very abrupt and does not follow up. We need to request what we feel is proper care in regards to seeing specialists for issues that ended up to be serious and required the specialist for surgery.
He's been my doctor since he started his practice almost 20 years ago. He is very knowledgeable about diet and nutrition. He does take the time to talk to you, just make sure if you need to talk about something you book an appointment in advance. He is a very busy man.
a wonderful doctor. when i was concerned about my daughter's health he reassured us so well and treated her promptly. i have him to thank for a vast improvement in the quality of her life. he is a great doctor and his staff are very kind and knowledgeable.

Nelson Hardiman attorneys Zachary Rothenberg and Jonathan Radke successfully obtained an injunction on behalf of a local hospital, requiring a patient who had been “squatting” in the hospital for months after her condition had improved, to finally cooperate in being discharged to a more appropriate, sub-acute facility. The patient, while elderly, was not seriously ill and no longer required acute hospital care; however, she and her adult daughter refused to cooperate in having her discharged. Compounding the problem, because the patient’s Medicare hospital benefits had long-since exhausted, and because there was no medical necessity for acute care, the hospital was not being reimbursed for the services it was providing.
“This is a significant problem for California hospitals,” said Rothenberg. “We are currently handling a number of these cases for multiple hospitals, and have also recently been asked to develop a ‘toolbox’ for identifying these kinds of problems early on, and resolving them as quickly and as efficiently as possible.”
In obtaining the injunction, Rothenberg and Radke faced a particular challenge in that there is no clear California precedent on how to handle recalcitrant patients who refuse to be discharged even when they are clinically stable and ready to leave. “We had to dig pretty deep and find case law in other parts of the country that dealt with this scenario,” Rothenberg said. “Fortunately, we found a handful of cases in other states that recognized that hospitals have finite resources, and a responsibility to the community to use those resources as effectively as possible. When someone is in the hospital who doesn’t really need to be, the hospital’s precious resources are being wasted, which hurts the hospital and also the community at large.” Ultimately, Rothenberg and Radke persuaded the Court that in refusing to cooperate in being discharged, the patient was trespassing on private property, that the adult daughter was aiding and abetting that trespass, and that an injunction against both individuals was necessary to force the discharge.
As Rothenberg and Radke have discovered, this difficult scenario can arise for a myriad of reasons. According to Radke, “in many instances, particularly where the patient is elderly, it is the patient’s family that is driving the decision to refuse discharge. Sometimes this is because the family doesn’t want to spend down the patient’s assets that they would otherwise stand to inherit. Other times, the family just doesn’t want to deal with having to find an alternative living arrangement, particularly where that might mean having mom or dad come live with them. And in other instances, the family just won’t accept the medical professional’s decision that hospital care is unnecessary.”
Equally challenging are the situations where the patient has no family, particularly where the patient is homeless and/or potentially lacks decision-making capacity. “In these circumstances, it is critical to work closely with the hospital’s discharge planning team and social workers, and with state and local officials, to exhaust every possible option, while ensuring that the interests of the patient are also respected,” says Rothenberg. “There are a lot of different resources out there, but they can be hard to find if you don’t know where to look.”

While some injuries may be brushed off as superficial, others may alter the course of a victim’s life. When people suffer catastrophic injuries due to the negligence of another, they could require drastic medical procedures and long-term rehabilitation, or have to change their way of living to conform to the injury.
If you or a loved one experienced life-altering losses because of someone else’s reckless or careless behavior, it may be best to contact an experienced personal injury attorney. A Florence catastrophic injury lawyer could help you pursue the compensation you deserve for medical and other expenses.
Defining Catastrophic Injuries
Most catastrophic injuries harm the spine or brain, meaning the victim’s ability to move, think or communicate becomes permanently compromised. While not all critical injuries involve the nervous system, all catastrophic injuries should be regarded seriously. Common examples of catastrophic injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Loss of sight or hearing
- Severe burns
- Internal injuries
- Multiple fractures
These horrific injuries often require long-term hospitalization, ongoing rehabilitation, and drug treatment. It is not uncommon for those suffering from a catastrophic injury to develop additional physical or mental issues relating to an injury.
The long-term effects of an injury on an individual might vary. Some people may need extensive modifications to their home to continue living in it, or they may have to move to a nursing home or similar long-term care facility. Those coping with a catastrophic injury often permanently use a wheelchair or may require prosthetics or other treatment options.
Because of the severity of injuries and how often patients must accommodate themselves or loved ones because of an injury, taking legal action against the party responsible for causing it is often warranted. When doing so, it is usually in a victim’s best interest to contact an experienced Florence catastrophic injury attorney for representation.
What are the Recoverable Damages in a Car Accident Case?
Compensation for catastrophic injury victims and their families, known as damages, typically falls into one of two categories: economic and non-economic damages. The former category includes objective financial losses like lost wages from being unable to work and past, present, and future medical expenses, while the latter deals with subjective losses like pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.
If the victim dies from an injury, damages may include funeral and burial costs. In other circumstances, punitive damages may be awarded. These damages are meant to be punishment for the responsible party in cases where the catastrophic injury resulted from especially egregious actions. For help with calculating and recovering damages, reach out to a seasoned attorney.
What are the Statute of Limitations?
Under South Carolina Code §15-3-530, a person has three years from the date of their catastrophic injury to file a lawsuit and seek recovery of damages. While that may sound like ample time, it is typically important to contact a catastrophic accident lawyer in Florence as soon as possible so they may begin work on the case. Waiting too long may mean it becomes harder to collect evidence and interview witnesses, and exceeding the deadline set by this statute of limitations may result in a case being time-barred by the court.
Contact a Florence Catastrophic Injury Attorney
It is only right that you are able to recover compensation after another negligence has caused you to suffer an injury. If you or a loved one suffered a catastrophic injury, you may want to retain the services of an experienced Florence catastrophic injury lawyer. Call today to arrange a confidential consultation, review your case, and discuss your options going forward.

There are a number of possible side effects to using CBD oil, such as fatigue, dry mouth, lightheadedness, hypotension, and impaired motor functions. However, when used in moderate amounts, most people do not experience these side effects, and none of them are known for being fatal or particularly dangerous. More than 20,000 studies have been done in the past 15 years on cannabis, hemp, and cannabinoids, and the results have been overwhelmingly supportive of the therapeutic potential and viability of CBD oil. That being said, some people should be cautious before using this powerful oil.
As a vitamin supplement. Hemp oil, in particular, holds high doses of important vitamins, like Vitamins E, B, B1 and B2. Hemp oil is also an invaluable source of protein and antioxidants, and contains high levels of helpful body supplements like potassium, magnesium and fatty acids. (which can also help cure maladies like acne and psoriasis, and is known to improve the human body's cholesterol levels.

Thanks for writing to us.
In cases of skin writing( dermatographism) and hives( urticaria) usually the treatment should be started in the form of oral antihistamines like cetirizine
, olopatidine and monteleukast . Usually these are used in combination. You may start with fexofenadine 120 mg in morning and cetirizine monteleukast combination in evening. If still hives are not controlled the dosage of these drugs can be increased upto four times the normal dose. Steroids are given in resistant cases not responding to antihistamines. I would advise that you meet a dermatologist
near by so that the lesions can be examined and appropriate treatment be started.
Hope that helped
