The Prescription: Latex Safe Environments
Designed for CME and CEU
Presented by Allina Health System and ELASTIC Inc.
Latex safety and latex responsibility depend on increased awareness,
education and action.  The focus of this educational event is based on
these very concepts resulting in safe environments for those who have
already developed latex allergy, and in doing so, preventing future
sensitization to latex. While there is no one easy answer, and
latex-safe can mean different things to different people, reducing latex
exposure benefits everyone!  A common complaint associated with latex
allergy is the lack of "how to" information. Come listen and learn from
the people who have developed and implemented the "how to" of latex
safety and responsibility.  Registration is limited, sign up early. For
more information or to obtain a brochure call 800-828-8900.

Recent events of importance to the engineering and scientific community.
Wednesday, March 25
Washington, D.C.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Communications
Commission warned that digital television might interfere with such
hospital devices as heart monitors. Now that TV stations are starting
to occupy formerly unused TV channels while making the transition to
digital TV, they are broadcasting digital signals capable of disrupting
medical telemetry systems that have been allowed to use unoccupied TV
channels. That sort of interference occurred earlier this March, in
Dallas. Although no one was harmed, the station involved stopped its
digital broadcasts. The FCC said it would ask manufacturers of medical
telemetry devices to help customers determine whether they may be
affected by digital TV transmissions and, if so, to help them find
vacant channels. It will also set up a World Wide Web site with
information about which channels can be used safely for digital
transmissions in each U.S. geographical area.

          Medication Errors Triple Over Decade
          Washington Post Health
          7 April 98, 5.
          Researchers led by David P. Phillips of the University of
          California, San Diego, report that fatal medication errors
          in the United States increased from 2,876 in 1983 to 7,391
          in 1993.  During that period, hospital stays decreased by 21
          percent and outpatient visits increased by 75 percent as a
          result of managed care.  The researchers concluded:  "`Our
          data suggest that medical personnel may need to compensate
          for changes in medical care by increased vigilance in the
          delivery and monitoring of medications, especially for
          outpatients.'"  Their study is published in the _Lancet_
          [no citation given].

I work for the Los Angeles City Fire Department.
Starting pay for firefighters is about $34,000.  We send the firefighters to
paramedic training on salary.  A full pay firefighter paramedic earns $65,000
and there is LOTS of overtime pay available (as an extreme example, last year
a
FF/PM earned over $100,000 in overtime in addition to his salary.)
I am a Captain Paramedic. I have been a paramedic since 1974. Base salary of
about $80,000. With overtime, I have earned over $40,000 thus far this year.
Los Angeles City Fire isn't close to being the highest paid department in
California.
