| From: Robin Heinem – Resident at University Illinois Chicago Dear Joanna, Remember September the 11th and over 3,000 people dying? Do you know that over 5,000 people die each day in the world from the negligence of hospitals and doctors? I learned this first hand when counting statistics for my research paper on world medicine. There are a lot of good doctors out there. I am studying to become one myself. Even the best doctors make mistakes no matter if you are in a private hospital or a county hospital. You need to know as a patient what your rights are. People need to ask a lot of questions, do not agree to just take the medicine that a nurse hands you, demand to check it first to make sure what you are taking, the right dosage and the known side effects. The most common thing I have witnessed are IV site infections. Not everyone in the hospital needs an IV. If you are awake and you can eat, drink fluids and go to the bathroom yourself, and you are not taking medications thata re required intraveneously, you can request not to have an IV inserted and to take your medications orally. The second most common failure I have seen is the mishandling of medical records and medical tests. You do not have to take at face value an initial blood test or any test for that matter. If you are in doubt that a procedure or test has yielded questionable results, you can assert your voice to ask for a second opinion and/or second test. Preferably by a different hospital or clinic. Go on the internet and search your doctor’s name through malpractice databases to see if that doctor has been cited before for malpractice. If you are going for surgery also ask for the names of all the doctors attending and the anesthesiologist. You can look up their names as well to make sure you are in capable hands. Alternative Health Feature: Common Foods That Can Be dangerous. Potassium is a mineral that is found in most foods. You need some potassium to keep your heart working as it should. However having too much potassium can cause your heart to stop. This month we will explore foods that contain a high level of potassium. When you eat too much potassium it naturally raises the blood pressure. It prohibits the body from maintaining normal blood pressure control. Eating too much potassium can result a diagnosis of hypertension, can prohibit you from losing weight, can facilitate a heart attack, stroke, water retention, damage to the liver and/or the kidneys. Signs of your body having too much potassium can include water retention, not breathing well, diarrhea and nausea. Many of you have asked me to create a list of high-risk foods that must be limited in your diet in order to maintain optimal health. Please limit these foods: Tomato, celery, ketchup, tangelo, apricots, bananas, dates, figs, kiwi, melon, nectarine, oranges, pears, prunes, asparagus, avocado, beets, beet greens, brussel sprouts, celery, cooked chard, cooked chinese cabbage, mushrooms, pumpkin, cooked spinach, tomato juice, cooked or canned vegetable juice cocktail, white and sweet potato, winter squash bran, bran products, chocolate, coconut, coffee, dried beans and peas, dried fruits have more potassium than fresh or cooked fruits, French fries, granola, milk, molasses, peanut butter and nuts, potato chips, Lite Salt substitute, Tip: If you are going to cook any of the above vegetables , cut and soak them in a bowl of water for four hours before preparation, this will help to drain out some potassium. Drain rinse and then drain again. Cook in a large pot of water. Throw out the water before serving. |
