Crime / Newborn Dies After Surgeon Operated On Him 'to Prove A Point' by trendednews(f): 7:42pm On Mar 10, 2018

[img]https://2.bp..com/-_rRbzS1jsxk/WqQlOscI6SI/AAAAAAAAEKo/J7uEheLiP2k0QASKdl7B-2glhcIfuuiQACLcBGAs/s1600/3222925813.jpg[/img]

A two-day-old baby died after a surgeon carried out a risky operation to ‘prove a point’, an inquest heard.

Paul Mitchelhill was born with a condition that could have been treated with a ‘safer’ option as there was no imminent danger.

But Emmanuel Towuaghanste, 62, performed a needless high-risk procedure when the premature infant was only hours old.

An expert witness suggested the locum, who had been in the job for a month, was trying to ‘prove a point’ by carrying out the surgery.

The doctor didn’t even bother to consult the child’s parents. And as intensive care colleagues became increasingly worried about the baby’s worsening health, he ignored them.

By the time he did act it was too late and the child died of complications a day later. Yesterday devastated parents – Irene Mitchelhill, 33, a broker, and her 37-year-old husband Paul, a lawyer – described the horror of their son ‘arriving home in a coffin’. The couple, from Carlisle, Cumbria, said in a statement: ‘We came home without our son, having only held him for the first time as he was dying.

‘We faced the horror of losing our first baby boy and the trauma of him arriving home in a coffin.’ The surgeon – known as Mr Towu – was said to have shown ‘no remorse’ after the tragedy at Newcastle’s Great North Children’s Hospital in October 2013.

Police launched a manslaughter investigation on the basis he had been grossly negligent, but no criminal action was taken.

The inquest also heard there was a huge gap in his surgical record because he had not bothered to keep a logbook – a requirement of the Royal College of Surgeons.

The most recent record was in 2000 – but he said he lost it in a house move. Although Mr Towu said he had carried out or been involved in the same type of operation up to 26 times in his 32-year career, police found no evidence to support his claims.

Paul was born with a condition that causes the internal organs to grow in the umbilical cord and end up in a sack outside the body.

The Newcastle hearing was told Mr Towu carried out a risky one-stage ‘primary abdominal closure’ instead of a more conservative ‘staged’ response over a longer period. Children can go for years with the condition before surgery is required and Paul was stable at the time, it was said.

Three other paediatric consultants told the inquest they would have taken the ‘safe’ option of a staged response. Coroner Karen Dilks recorded a narrative conclusion after lawyers for the baby’s family invited her to find Mr Towu – who did not attend to hear the decision – had unlawfully killed the baby.

She said he failed to undertake a ‘thorough analysis’ of the risks, adding: ‘He undertook the operation in the first day of life when no emergency action was indicated and without appropriate discussions with Paul’s parents or giving proper weight to the concerns of the paediatric intensive care team in respect of Paul’s condition.’ A series of errors during the procedure directly contributed to the baby’s death, she added.

By the time a senior colleague became aware of Paul’s condition, the only option was to lay the infant in the arms of his mother to die.

Simon Huddart, a retired paediatric surgeon, told the hearing: ‘A locum surgeon of one month as a consultant and performing this surgery has a feeling of trying to prove a point. Seeing an operation is not the same as doing the operation, I watched my dad drive for 17 years – it doesn’t mean I could drive.’

Mr Towu, who began his medical training in the 1970s in Nigeria, told the hearing it was ‘almost impossible’ to get hold of his surgical records – and blamed the death on errors by his colleagues. He described the atmosphere towards him on the ward as ‘unfriendly’. Although he apologised to Paul’s parents for not taking swifter action, he highlighted a lack of ‘support’.

Surgeon Bruce Jaffray, who now runs the unit, described the incident as an ‘avoidable death’.

He said: ‘I hope if I was in that situation I would be devastated, show some contrition, some insight, some knowledge.

‘I hope I would have the integrity to admit my faults. I found none of that in Mr Towu.’

The coroner’s findings have been passed on to the General Medical Council.

A spokesman for the Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said an investigation was carried out to prevent a repeat of the tragedy.

Crime / Pennsylvania Lawmaker Claims Colleague Pulled Gun On Her, Threatened To Kill Her by trendednews(f): 7:18pm On Mar 10, 2018
[img]https://4.bp..com/-atu1TGU2Xtk/WqQgMIqSDgI/AAAAAAAAEKY/AB-4_PChtsQg2FA0hcvYekm0Y2DaQsa3ACLcBGAs/s1600/tarah-toohil-x-3lymad-400x400.jpg[/img]

A Pennsylvania state lawmaker who says a fellow lawmaker pulled a gun on her and threatened to kill her has gotten a restraining order against him. State Rep. Tarah Toohil alleges that fellow Republican Rep. Nick Miccarelli pointed a gun at her in 2012 and on another occasion, when the two were in a car, warned he would crash the vehicle while speeding 100 mph on a highway, The Citizens' Voice reported .

A Luzerne County judged granted the restraining order Friday, barring Miccarelli from contacting Toohil and prohibiting him from possessing firearms.

He has not been charged with any crime and denies the allegations. He called them "complete fabrications" in a March 1 Facebook post.

"There is not a stitch of truth to any of it," Miccarelli said in a statement to CBS Philadelphia. "This time MeToo has gone too far. I'm running for re-election and I will be vindicated."

Frank Keel, a spokesman for Miccarelli, called the allegations outrageous and baseless, part of a smear campaign. He questioned why Toohil would wait "six long years" to take legal action.

"She knew Nick was recently married. It's unconscionable that Toohil would abuse the (protection from abuse) process in this way at this time, knowing the shame and embarrassment it would bring to Nick and his new family."

Toohil also alleged that Miccarelli kicked, pinched and hit her. She said she was so concerned about her safety she appended a note to her life insurance policy that said Miccarelli should be investigated if something happened to her.

In a separate allegation against Miccarelli, a political consultant claims that after she ended their relationship in 2014, Miccarelli came to her house and forced her to have sex, holding her neck during part of the alleged attack. Miccarelli also denies those allegations.

Toohil, who has not alleged Miccarelli sexually attacked her, said in her request for the protection order that Miccarelli had attempted to blackmail her by releasing photographs and that he has harassed and stalked her since a relationship between them ended.

She said she has been "in fear for my safety at work" since filing a complaint against him in the state House and that Miccarelli tried to intimidate her to "remain silent" after news of the allegations was first released.

Miccarelli, 35, is in the middle of a fifth two-year term, representing a district just outside Philadelphia. He said on Facebook he got married last month. CBS Philadelphia reports that he is an Army veteran with three deployments.

Republican and Democratic lawmakers have both called on him to resign amid the allegations.

"We didn’t have this when we were kids!" You hear such sighs from those who belong to the generation that grew up in the ’90s more and more often. And it’s true! If you look at how modern children live, you can find many differences.

Finally, You have enough energy to do what you want.

This means that if you don’t have to survive in a cycle of “sleep — food — work — sleep”, then you are fine. You have enough energy for the things that you like, like playing with your child, meeting your friends, or spending time with your pets.

So, there’s a simple formula: if you eat normally, you sleep well, and you move during the day, it means that you are okay.

You don’t fall asleep instantly.

Of course, there are difficult days when you fall asleep in a matter of seconds — once your head hits the pillow. This is perfectly normal unless it happens every day. According to scientists, the normal process of falling asleep takes from 10 to 20 minutes. This should be a calm and slow process.

Health / Re: 8 Signs That You Are Healthy Even If You Don’t Think So by trendednews(f): 3:22pm On Mar 06, 2018
You can get up pretty early without an alarm.

This means that you can get up early, without an alarm, and feel good. It’s not about the days when you need to get up at 6 a.m. It’s about the days when you have a relaxed schedule, when you don’t need to get up at a certain time.

So, if you are able to feel that you got good sleep, a solid rest, and you can get out of bed early and feel good — you are healthy.

Health / Re: 8 Signs That You Are Healthy Even If You Don’t Think So by trendednews(f): 3:21pm On Mar 06, 2018
You experience a range of emotions — from sadness to excitement.

Psychological health has nothing to do with being super optimistic 24/7. The scientists, the authors of today’s study, say, “Being angry from time to time is normal, being sad is normal, being annoyed and depressed is normal. The ability to have all these emotions is a sign of good psychological health. And you should also realize that none of these emotions are constant”.

Health / Re: 8 Signs That You Are Healthy Even If You Don’t Think So by trendednews(f): 3:19pm On Mar 06, 2018
You can take a flight of stairs and breathe normally.

This is an indicator that your body is in good physical shape. You don’t need to have an amazing stamina or do a lot of sports to be considered healthy. If you don’t feel like your dying when you take the stairs, it means that you are okay.

“If you can take two flights of stairs without a break and feel okay on the top, it means that you are in good physical shape. This means that your body can handle everyday physical activity normally”.

Health / Re: 8 Signs That You Are Healthy Even If You Don’t Think So by trendednews(f): 3:19pm On Mar 06, 2018
You eat as much as your body needs.

Every person has their own food needs. There is no one universal formula that you can use to calculate how many calories you need, it’s a very individual thing. You can eat very little, or a lot more than other people and still be considered normal. The most important thing is to listen to your body and try to understand what it wants. If you are able to do this, congratulations!

So, the first three points on this list mean one thing: you eat normally, you don’t eat too much or too little, and you eat different food and don’t obsess about it.

Health / Re: 8 Signs That You Are Healthy Even If You Don’t Think So by trendednews(f): 3:17pm On Mar 06, 2018
Your diet is healthy.

You eat tasty and different food. Don’t limit your diet to chicken breasts and rice, or vice versa, don’t eat too many sweets or foods that are bad for you.

Health / Re: 8 Signs That You Are Healthy Even If You Don’t Think So by trendednews(f): 3:16pm On Mar 06, 2018
You eat only when you’re hungry and never eat too much.

If you don’t eat out of boredom and you’re not psychologically addicted to food, you’re good in this respect and can move forward.
