‘Google Doodle’ Honors Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, ‘Father of Handwashing’
by Shifra on March 22, 2020In 1847, Dr. Semmelweis, a Jewish Hungarian doctor, began to sound the alarm in Vienna that women were needlessly dying in hospitals after childbirth due to the negligence of doctors, who routinely performed autopsies and other medical procedures without “bothering” to wash their hands between procedures. Unfortunately, Semmelweis’s calls for handwashing were rejected and mocked by his colleagues. He became severely depressed, and he was involuntarily committed to an insane asylum, where he died at the age of 47. Via UPI. Google is celebrating physician Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis and hand washing with a new Doodle. Semmelweis was appointed Chief Resident in the maternity clinic of Vienna General Hospital in 1847 when he discovered the medical benefits of hand washing and...

Clinic Withdraws Offer To Muslim Doc Who Bragged She’d Give Jews Wrong Meds
by Shifra on April 7, 2019Lara Kollab was fired in January from the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio for her outrageous statements. Looks like she then tried her luck in California. Via Jerusalem Post. Lara Kollab has been removed from a second residency program for her 2012 antisemitic tweet in which she said she would “purposely give all the yahoods [meaning Jews] the wrong meds.” Last week, Kern Medical confirmed that Kollab’s position “in the Post-Graduate-Year 1 resident in the Internal Medicine Residency Program has been withdrawn effective immediately.” Dr. Kollab submitted information that was false, misleading, and incomplete to Kern Medical during the interview and match process,” it said. “Kern Medical is dedicated to the health and wellbeing of our patients and expects the highest...

Researchers Find a Way to Use Skin Cells To Kill a Brain Cancer
by Tammy on February 24, 2016Something new and amazing almost every day! Just 30 percent of patients with glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer, survive past two years because even if a surgeon removes the tumor, it is nearly impossible to get the invasive tendrils that spread into the brain and allow the tumor to grow back. Researchers at the University of North Carolina have pioneered a technique of turning skin cells into cancer-hunting stem cells that, in mice, found and killed remnant brain tumor cells. Glioblastomas are aggressive, fast-growing tumors that form astrocytes, cells that make up the supportive tissue of the brain. Astrocytes reproduce quickly, and are supported by a large network of blood vessels, which is why the relatively rare cancer can...

‘Dr.’ Obama Contradicts CDC: “You Can’t Get Ebola By Sitting On A Bus”
by Shifra on October 12, 2014To paraphrase Obama’s now-infamous comment: The Obama Administration is really looking like one pathetic “Junior Varsity” team. Can’t they coordinate their talking points, so they don’t look like totally incompetent idiots? Last week, ‘Dr.’ Obama sent this message to W. Africans: Via CNS News: Obama: You Can’t Get Ebola ‘Sitting Next to Someone on a Bus;’ CDC: ‘Avoid Public Transportation’ ….“First, Ebola is not spread through the air like the flu,” Obama said in the video released by the White House Thursday. “You cannot get it through casual contact like sitting next to someone one a bus. You cannot get it from another person until they start showing symptoms of the disease, like fever.” Obama also said that “the most...

An Obama “Ethics Panel” Approves Testing Anthrax Vaccine In Children, Including Infants
by Tammy on March 19, 2013Gee, I guess Obama’s peace and love unicorn-laden Garden of Eden ain’t so much. I’m curious to see your thoughts on this. Which infants will be used for testing? Will testing primarily affect the poor who may need money so desperately they’ll volunteer their children? My issue is, I so don’t trust the government at this point, not only about their agenda, but about actually getting something like this right. Everything the Fed touches these days seems to go awry, so it makes me very, very, nervous. Test of anthrax vaccine in children gets tentative OK A presidential ethics panel has opened the door to testing an anthrax vaccine on children as young as infants, bringing an angry response from...

The FDA Wants To Regulate Your Body Cells
by Pat_S on August 8, 2012Putting aside the embryonic stem cell debate, there have been amazing advances in adult stem cell research. For example, scientists have been able to transform skin cells into stem cells and then grow heart cells in a petri dish. Skin cells transformed into beating heart tissue, fueling heart failure treatment hopes “What is new and exciting about our research is that we have shown that it’s possible to take skin cells from an elderly patient with advanced heart failure and end up with his own beating cells in a laboratory dish that are healthy and young – the equivalent to the stage of his heart cells when he was just born,” the study’s author Professor Lior Gepstein, professor of cardiology...
