However, a lot of parents in the US give their kids Benadryl before flights. This was a suggestion posted by parents on a lot of blogs when that whole issue of the child being kicked off of the Airtran flight came up. I think it is not a great idea and if done at all, should be reserved for...

I have not been following this case closely, but came to read the forum after seeing that the parents were named as suspects. I have not read the many threads here (don't have time!) but am curious about what has caused suspicion on the parents. I think it's possible (based mostly on statistics)...

There was a report that she was undergoing surgery in Louisville and that Six Flags employees had sent her feet to the hospital with her, but the hospital couldn't comment due to privacy reasons.

You're right, if she physically assaulted the boys she'd be facing charges for sure. Add in the fact that this is (I think) her 3rd false allegation, and she SHOULD be facing some type of legal action which would hopefully ensure psychiatric help and prevent her from messing up more people's...

I think it is ironic that the MN parents trusted in medical advances (fertility drugs), not the Lord, to get pregnant, but once pregnant with sextuplets, decided to "trust in the Lord" rather than medical advice to take care of their babies. I realize that selective reduction/abortion is...

Excellent point. Earlier, the players and their attorneys said they wouldn't be pursuing legal action against her. Maybe because they'd be unlikely to recover any money? But why shouldn't she face charges since this is something she's done before?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19264396/ The committee, after deliberating for a little more than an hour, unanimously agreed with the bar on almost every charge — including the most serious allegations — that Nifong’s actions involved “dishonesty, fraud, deceit and...

Nifong tarnished his own damn reputation. He has no one but himself to blame for the position he's in right now. He didn't want to hear the alibis, he "lost" the DNA results, he ignored the dancer's inconsistent story and prior history of false allegations, he forged ahead with absolutely no...

http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/conditions/06/15/hepatitis.c/index.html :eek: :eek: :eek: This is shocking! Apparently 3 patients of a NY anesthesiologist have contracted Hep C, the article says from "IV tubing" (not clear exactly what they mean by that--maybe IV insertion). It is unclear if...

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/06/15/florida.missing.woman/index.html Sorry if this has already been posted. I want to know who the "family acquaintance" is that drove her to the club. I bet a criminal justice student would be extra wary of strangers, so I wonder if the family friend did her harm.

Pedinurse, I think Crypto's point about the sterile gloves is that they fit much better than the nonsterile kind, not that the sterility is necessary for all patient contact. I think he is right that we would all be more likely to wear gloves for all procedures if the nonsterile gloves weren't...

Well, that's interesting, considering that standard isolation procedures for MRSA patients are still only contact precautions and not respiratory precautions. You are right, things probably will change if this is documented in enough studies. Maybe we will all be working in Hazmat suits in the...

PH's talent agency has dropped her as a client: http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=265499&GT1=7703& The Endeavor talent agency has dropped the reality show star, said Michael Donkis, a spokesman for the company. "She is no longer a client," he said, declining further comment.

I am so curious to see what happens! I would love to see Nifong get disbarred for this, but I bet it won't really happen. I just have this feeling he's going to get away with messing up these kids' lives with a slap on the wrist.

These are such great points. I love Websleuths and really enjoy discussing cases and incidents in the news with everyone here, but you are right that the threads can be very predictable sometimes. Typically an inflammatory or outrageous story is posted, then everyone chimes in with "How...

This kind of stuff has been going on for years. When I was in elementary school (late 70's/early 80's), I remember two incidents where my classmates wet their pants because they weren't allowed to go to the bathroom. One boy in my classroom accidentally peed at his desk, and had to clean himself...

CMV and MRSA are extremely common. I don't recall the exact numbers, but about half of us are CMV positive. The virus usually causes no problems except in immunocompromised people or when it is transmitted in utero or during birth as congenital CMV. MRSA is so prevalent in hospitals and...

Most schools do require TB testing.

Now some of the background of this case is starting to come out. Emails suggest that the patient's family was "uncooperative" with health officials, with phone conversations described as "clipped and combative." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070612/ap_on_he_me/tuberculosis_infection It is...
