No way that was an accident. Still, we should pray for those affected and their families. You m-m-m-muh-make me HAAA-PEEE. Psalm 34:14 - Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. Romans 5:8 - But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25007691 United States 10/05/2012 09:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) It's an outbreak we're seeing in several neighboring states. People are getting sick with fungal meningitis after receiving a very common and popular pain treatment - steroid injections. Those are most commonly used for back pain So far, five people have died in this outbreak. Thirty are ill. Kentucky, right now, is lucky enough not to have any cases in the state. But from what WKYT is learning, the company that made the medications is licensed in all 50 states. There is a possibility we could soon find out about more infections. Packaged in Massachusetts and sent to clinics in more than 20 states, the back injection has infected patients in six states, some neighboring Kentucky. The states are - Tennessee, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, and Florida. The New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts has recalled more than 17,000 of the vials believed to be contaminated. [link to www.wkyt.com] |

I hope the providers are on their toes about pulling the stuff. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25007691 United States 10/05/2012 10:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The potential scope of the meningitis outbreak that has killed at least five people widened dramatically Thursday as health officials warned that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of patients who got steroid back injections in 23 states could be at risk. So far, 35 people in six states — Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, North Carolina and Indiana — have contracted fungal meningitis, and five of them have died, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All had received steroid shots for back pain, a highly common treatment. In an alarming indication the outbreak could get a lot bigger, Massachusetts health officials said the pharmacy involved, the New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass., has recalled three lots consisting of a total of 17,676 single-dose vials of the steroid, preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate. An unknown number of those vials reached 75 clinics and other facilities in 23 states between July and September, federal health officials said. Several hundred of the vials, maybe more, have been returned unused, one Massachusetts official said. But many other vials were used. At one clinic in Evansville, Ind., more than 500 patients got shots from the suspect lots, officials said. At two clinics in Tennessee, more than 900 patients — perhaps many more — did.
