Normally I kid and joke in all the posts. Making fun of people for their idiocy, but I found a story that is just freaking disturbing. Its one thing if you are doing something like driving your car and shaving your “bikini area,” but not in a hospital.

Kane Gorny, 22, died of dehydration, after three days in a “teaching” hospital. Gorny was so thirsty and desperate that he called the police to beg for their help, but when the police arrived the doctors told them that everything was under control.

The next day, he was found delirious and then died within a few hours later. Rita Cronin found Gorny in this state and says that the nurses failed to supply him with the drugs that would help control the fluid levels in the body. Even the corner was so concerned that he contacted the police about this case.

When he was admitted to the hospital his mother told the nurses that he needed his medication three times a day. Doctors told Gorny and his mother that without the pills he would die. They stressed to the staff at the hospital the importance, yet no one made sure he took his medicine.

After his hip surgery, he became severly dehydrated and his requests for water were refused. When he became aggressive, the nurses called the guards to restrain him. Still no one checked on his medicine or gave the man a glass of water.

It unfortunately gets worse, which is hard to believe. The police told Miss Cronin that when Kane called all he said was, “Please help me. All I want is a drink and no one is helping me.” The next morning when she went to see her son before she went to work, she told the working staff that something was wrong with her son. The staff stated that he was fine and walked off.

Eventually a Ward doctor was making his rounds and when they noticed Kane, immediately started shouting for help. They asked Kane’s mom to leave his bed side. She never got to say goodbye to her son. The death certificate said Gorny had died because of a “water deficit” and “hypernatraemia,” also known as dehydration.

Miss Cronin said, “He was totally dependent on the nurses to help him and they totally betrayed him. By this time my son was confused due to his lack of medication and I think the nurses just ignored him because they thought he was just being badly behaved. They were lazy, careless and hadn’t bothered to check his charts and see his medication was essential. I told Kane to behave himself because I thought he had been causing trouble – and I feel so bad about that now. I thought maybe he was having a bad reaction to the morphine he was on but in fact it was because he had not had his medication.”

St. George Hospital conducted an internal investigation, but never even apologized to Miss Cronin. After the case was turned over to the police, a spokesperson for the hospital said, “We are extremely sorry about the death of Kane Gorny and understand the distress that this has caused to his family. A full investigation was carried out and new procedures introduced to ensure that such a case cannot happen in future. We have written to the family to explain the actions that have been taken and to answer their concerns about Mr Gorny’s care. The family has also been invited to meet with trust staff to discuss the case in detail.”

A report came out revealing numerous deaths at the hospital due to the stellar quality of care given by the nurses. The hospital created a task force and it’s first priority : Call on nurses to sign a public pledge that they will treat everyone with compassion and dignity (Not Kidding). It’s amazing what things will come to surface after a tragic and galacticly terrifying ordeal.

Death by Fizz

Well since the scare of Swine Flu has dwindled, its now time to get people freaked out again. Experts have now come out to let everyone know that drinking to much soda can cause fatal hear problems.

Soda has already been linked to obesity, tooth decay, diabetes, softening the bones, and mixing well with alcohol. Doctors think that they can now link it to hypokalaemia. Hypokalaemia is where the potassium levels in the blood fall to low levels. This can cause an irregular heartbeat, associated with heart attacks, and muscles can become paralysed.

Researchers and Doctors think that the high sugar drinks and caffeine levels will cause the body to excrete too much potassium. Dr Moses Elisaf, of the University of Ioannina in Greece, said: “Excessive consumption can lead to a range of health problems, including irregular heartbeat and paralysis.

Grounded by Sexual Orientation

Meet Lieutenant Colonel Victor J. Fehrenbach, he is a fighter weapons system operator and has been flying the F-15E Strike Eagle since 1998. He has flown the longest combat mission in his squadron’s history. He was hand picked to fly sorties over the nations capitol, after September 11th.

The hero has accumulated over 30 awards and medals including nine air medals, one of them for heroism, as well as campaign medals for Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. He has since moved on to training over 300 new pilots out of Idaho. He is a good role model for attracting young men and women in the service of our country, but the Air Force is going to be discharge him from the service.

He hails from a Military family, his father was a retired Lt. Col. in the Air Force and his mother was an Air Force Nurse. He even earned a full scholarship to Notre Dame from the Air Force ROTC. The US government has spent $25 million in training and equipment to help Fehrenbach, but let the insanity begin.

He is set to be discharged for being gay. I can see discharging someone for being a danger to unit cohesion, or to morale, or to good order and discipline, but for being gay? Lt. Col. Fehrenbach appeared on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow show to try and appeal to remain in the service after serving honorably for 18 years.

He’s the Firestarter, Twisted Firestarter

Let’s meet Mark Panko, 48, of Cincinnati, Ohio. He was charged with domestic violence and aggravated arson, due to the fact he shoved his wife and set their home on fire Thursday night.

Firefighters are saying that he lost his cool, because his wife and 4 year old son left him. The fire destroyed the couples house and put the firefighters life at risk. Firefighters believed that Panko was still inside the house and conduced several searches, until they were 100% certain that he was not inside the home.

Panko was arrested in 2003 and was accused of grabbing and pushing his wife around when she told him that she wanted a divorce. A grand jury declined to deliver any charges against him.

Rolling Death Mobile

Welcome to the People’s Republic of China.The worlds most populated country and home to the new Death Mobile. Due to the expected rise of executions (estimated 10,000 for this year), the Chinese found a Nazi Tool that may have use for themselves.

Jinguan Auto created the high tech execution mobile. The $86,000 van can reach speeds of 80 M.P.H. and looks like a police vehicle on patrol on the outside. On the inside, it looks like a high tech operating theatre.

Every execution is monitored by video to make sure that procedure is followed to perfection. So it would be possible to describe an execution to the slightest detail.

The vans actually started trial runs over the last 3 years and all media on the vans were suppressed during the Olympics to prevent complaints about human rights. Now they are being deployed across all of China. “These vans will deters others from committing crimes and has more impact,” said one official.

The Nazi’s used to have the “Gas Wagon,” that they use to slaughter criminals, the mentally ill, and the Jews. They adapted vans to be mobile gas chambers from the 1940′s through the end of the second World War.

AT&T Sings a Sad Song to the RIAA

For the last few years the RIAA has been throwing their weight around at ISP’s and typically the ISP would buckle to their demands. Typically the RIAA would want the suspected thieves internet access temporarily blocked and notice sent that they have been caught.

Well the balance of power has changed and one major provider in internet services told the RIAA to stuff it. Jim Cicconi, a senior executive Vice President at AT&T, says that a lot of purported relationship with the music industry is just untrue.

Cicconi said, “AT&T is not going to suspend or terminate anyone’s policy without a court order.” He wants to make sure that his customers are aware that they won’t buckle, unless a judge orders them too.

On Tuesday, the Leadership Music Digital Summit was taking place, when Cicconi confirmed that they would send notices to individuals that are accused of pirating music by the RIAA.

The RIAA has been trying to implement a graduated response program for repeat offenders, but there has been some confusion on what it involves. It remains up to the ISP’s to decide on the plan of action and implementation. Of course the RIAA’s ideal program would have the service suspended for a limited time for “Chronic” offenders.

“We’re pleased to be in constructive discussions with several ISPs,” said an RIAA spokesman. “We’re making important progress, and doing so in a manner consistent with everyone’s respective priorities. We’re grateful that some of the industry’s leading executives came to Nashville and talked through these important issues.”

AT&T confirmed that on Weds, they are attaching a “cover letter,” along with the RIAA’s cease and desist notice. The cover letter does contain a clause that does state the company can terminate the service, but that just a legality.

“It’s a standard part of everybody’s terms of service,” Cicconi said. “If somebody is engaging in illegal activity, it basically gives us the right to do it…We’re not a finder of fact and under no circumstances would we ever suspend or terminate service based on an allegation from a third party. We’re just simply reminding people that they can’t engage in illegal activity. What we do is send notices and keep track of violations and IP addresses,” Cicconi said. “It’s our view that any stronger action has got to rest with the copyright owner…That’s what the courts are there for.”
