Back Injury Among Healthcare Workers: Causes, Solutions, and Impacts
Back Injury Among Healthcare Workers: Causes, Solutions, and Impacts
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recently calculated nearly 60,000 musculoskeletal injuries to healthcare workers resulting from heavy lifting during attempts to move patients. Often the nurses, aides, orderlies, and attendants who suffered permanent injuries were forced out of the profession, straining an already inadequate pool of workers and wasting valuable knowledge and ability.

Back Injury Among Healthcare Workers: Causes, Solutions, and Impacts presents the latest research on this topic from an epidemiological point of view. The book highlights case studies from actual injured workers, along with analysis of how this problem is being addressed around the world.

This in-depth study also discusses the legal and rehabilitative obstacles to returning to work, and suggests new policies for the safe lifting and moving of patients. The editors compile recommended solutions from leading names in the field, detailing how healthcare facilities can create safe work environments to prevent disabling back injuries.

it’s funny to see this artist’s sense of humor.
it’s very subtle and confuses people.

the point is this : gay men need hunting grounds. children should not be in those grounds.

and this is NOT because gay men are pedophiles.
quite the opposite.
read the stats below and you will see that it is heterosexual males who molest boys AND girls.

the real truth is that gay men don’t want kids in their hunting grounds.
get it?! and that’s the very OPPOSITE of pedophilia.
so cut us some slack since so many people are already mad about our "deviation" from the "norm" LOL

honestly, since breeders and straights and molesters have dominant control over every other neighborhood in the city AND the country AND the world, how about just letting gay men have one neighborhood to ourselves?

straights with kids used to be afraid to come into our neighborhood because they thought they would get AIDS or HIV from drinking the water. now that they’re not afraid, they’re showing up to take over.

is it REALLY so much to ask for?!?! really?

EDUCATE YOURSELVES!!!! here’s some info you SHOULD know about pedophilia!!!!!

if i were in charge, death penalty for pedophilia. end of story. end of abuse.

49ers 1970 Team Photo
After years of mediocre play, the 49ers put it all together to finish with a 10-3-1 record and win the NFC West division over the Rams. While John Brodie had an MVP season, it was the defense that stepped up its play and improved to a championship level. Coach Dick Nolan had been building up the defense over the previous 2 seasons and in 1970, it paid off. Nolan used a rotation of defensive line players that worked well for the team. Tommy Hart, Roland Lakes, Charlie Krueger, Bill Belk, Earl Edwards, Stan Hindman and Cedrick Hardman made the rotation scheme work. MLB Frank Nunley had a great season as did the outside linebackers, Dave Wilcox and Skip Vanderbundt. Bruce Taylor, a rookie cornerback, helped shore up the secondary and was an excellent kick returner. Bruce Gossett came over in a trade for Kermit Alexander and the kicking game was much improved. Brodie had an MVP season with 24 TDs and 10 interceptions. The offensive line was so good, Brodie was sacked only 8 times. Randy Beisler, Elmer Collett, Woody Peoples, Forrest Blue, Len Rohde, Cas Banaszek and Bob Hoskins were the "Protectors". Ken Willard was again a workhorse with 236 carries for 789 yards and 7 TDs. Doug Cunningham filled the other spot with 443 yards and 3 TDs. Gene Washington followed up his rookie success with an even better season, 53 receptions for a league leading 1100 yards and 12 TD receptions. Dick Witcher missed 3 games due to injury and finished with 22 receptions and 2 TDs. Preston Riley and Jimmy Thomas filled in well for Witcher while he was out. Bob Windsor was the starter at TE but Ted Kwalick began to see more playing time as the season progressed. Windsor finished with 31 receptions and 2 TDs and Kwalick 10 catches with a TD. Nunley, Bruce Taylor, Rosey Taylor, Vanderbundt and Mel Phillips each had 3 interceptions and Phillips had a TD. Jimmy Johnson had an interceptionTD return in the vital season finale against Oakland.

The 49ers started 7-1-1 and looked to be in good position, but back to back losses to Detroit and Los Angeles put them behind the Rams and in danger of missing the playoffs. 49er teams of the past probably would have folded at this point, but this group was different. The team rallied to win against Atlanta, New Orleans and cross bay rivals the Raiders to clinch the NFC West by a game over the Rams. This led to a playoff game at Minnesota. Despite a poor quarterback situation, the Vikings behind their defense and home field advantage with the elements were favored. The Vikings scored first when Paul Krause returned Willard’s fumble for a TD. Later Bruce Taylor had a good punt return which set up a Brodie TD pass to Witcher which tied the score. Gossett kicked a FG shortly before half to put the 49ers in the lead. The 2nd half was a field position duel and finally near the end of the game, another good return by Bruce Taylor set up a 1 yard plunge by Brodie and the game was over. The 49ers had upset the Vikings 17-14. A celebration was later held at the airport upon the 49ers return.

That win set up a match with the Dallas Cowboys for the NFC Championship at Kezar Stadium, the final NFL game to be held there. The strong running of Duane Thomas was hard to stop and Craig Morton completed some late clutch passes as the Cowboys advanced to the Super Bowl with a 17-10 win. The 49ers lone touchdown was a TD pass from John Brodie to Dick Witcher, the final NFL touchdown to be scored in Kezar Stadium. It was, however, a great season of football for 49er fans in 1970.

Where Is the Mango Princess?: A Journey Back From Brain Injury
Humorist Cathy Crimmins has written a deeply personal, wrenching, and often hilarious account of the effects of traumatic brain injury, not only on the victim, in this case her husband, but on the family.

When her husband Alan is injured in a speedboat accident, Cathy Crimmins reluctantly assumes the role of caregiver and learns to cope with the person he has become. No longer the man who loved obscure Japanese cinema and wry humor, Crimmins’ husband has emerged from the accident a childlike and unpredictable replica of his former self with a short attention span and a penchant for inane cartoons. Where Is the Mango Princess? is a breathtaking account that explores the very nature of personality-and the complexities of the heart.

“Alan’s brain got run over by a speedboat,” Cathy Crimmins writes. “That last sentence reads like a bad country-western song lyric, but it’s true. It was a silly, horrible, stupid accident.” And so begins the harrowing tale of a family vacation gone awry when a speedboat collides with her husband’s small craft, changing their lives forever. Crimmins (The Seven Habits of Highly Defective People and When My Parents Were My Age They Were Old… or Who Are You Calling Middle-Aged?) is used to writing with wit, self-effacing humor, and a warmth that can bring readers to their knees–or at least to tears of laughter. But in this stunning memoir about her husband’s brain injury and the subsequent fallout, Crimmins has outdone herself, bringing all her sharply honed narrative skills into play as she tackles the life-wrenching drama of witnessing her husband’s near death and ensuing rebirth as a very different person.
Crimmins takes readers inside the drama with all the right details and interior feelings to keep us fully mesmerized: her 7-year-old daughter’s ashen face, her husband’s twitching body, the paramedic’s alarming question, “Is your husband one of these people that ordinarily has large pupils?” As deftly as she takes readers inside this personal story of not-quite recovery–more like discovery–she is also able to pan back and show readers the comedic silver lining (the self-important doctors, the moments of mishaps, and of course, the whereabouts of the mysterious Mango Princess) that lies within the cloud of her family’s tragedy. Anyone who has endured a head trauma or loved someone who has will be engrossed by this wise and knowledgeable storyteller. The rest of us will have a captivating lesson about the rejuvenation of the brain as well as the human heart. –Gail Hudson
