Who Gives us Power? Taxes, Govenment or God /Billy O'Rielly - Video
With big changes in the state’s Medicaid program, further implementation of federal health care measures and looming budget cuts, 2013 is shaping up to be something of a cliff-hanger for health care.

Engineering News-Record names Palomar Health's new green, high-tech hospital "Best of the Best Health Care Projects" winner for 2012 as well as best health care and overall construction project in California. "The Hospital of the Future" opened in August.
San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) December 27, 2012
The awards were presented to Palomar Health, CO Architects and DPR Construction for their exemplary and innovative work on the new hospital. Projects were judged by design and construction professionals. Palomar Medical Center, known as "The Hospital of the Future," is featured in the December edition of ENR California.
In February, the editors of ENR will select one project from the national Best of the Best Projects winners as the Editors choice. Palomar Medical Center, as the winner in the Health Care category, is eligible for this award.
According to ENR editors, the Best of the Best Projects winners are truly outstanding examples for the entire construction industry of teamwork, safety, overcoming challenges, innovation and quality.
Palomar Healths flagship hospital opened on August 19, about four months after construction was completed and was paid in part through a bond passed by North San Diego County voters in 2004. The 11-story, 288-bed Palomar Medical Center is one of the largest buildings in the United States to use an integrated project delivery method and one of two hospitals in the nation with day-lighted operating rooms. At its groundbreaking in 2007, it was the largest project under construction in California. DPR took over construction management in 2008.
Many design and planning decisions were guided by patient-centric, experience-based design, which included documented input from individuals in all hospital departments. Flexibility was built in so the hospital can continually accommodate the changes to equipment, technology and treatment through the lifetime of the hospital. In addition, the hospital features a 1.5-acre rolling green roof, wireless access throughout the facility, expansive gardens and a large custom chandelier in the main lobby that makes a dramatic first impression for those visiting the hospital.
Project leaders said they were honored to receive the prestigious awards on behalf of all project participants and hailed the many people involved for their outstanding teamwork. The project tallied 4 million work hours, 6,000-plus craftspeople, 2,600 safety audits and more than 40,000 inspections. Twenty-five million pounds of structural steel and 5 million feet of electrical cable were used during construction.
These recognitions are a testament to everyone involved in the creation, planning and design of the new hospital including our Board and staff, said Palomar Health President and CEO Michael H. Covert. It represents a unique achievement and the next stage of development in the building of hospitals and the way we care for individuals in such settings.
DPR Construction Regional Manager Jay Leopold said the only thing that rivals the building and the achievement that were being recognized was the journey.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --NYU Langone Medical Center announced that, effective today, inpatient services at Tisch Hospital and its Schwartz Health Care Center resumed for multiple programs and specialty services. In addition, by working with the New York State Department of Health, the Medical Center plans a return of nearly all services available on the main campus before Hurricane Sandy by the end of January.
"We have overcome many challenges over the last two months, yet our faculty and staff at NYU Langone truly rose to the occasion so that we could get back to doing what we do best - providing world-class patient care, conducting groundbreaking research, and educating the next generation of physicians," said Dr. Robert I. Grossman, MD, dean and CEO, NYU Langone Medical Center.
Effective today, several inpatient services and select surgical services are now available, including:
Ancillary services will be available including:
Additionally, on January 14, 2013, the following services are expected to resume:
At this time, no date has been determined for the re-opening of NYU Langone's Emergency Department (ED). The ED, located on the ground floor level of Tisch Hospital, was in the initial stage of a major construction and expansion program when Hurricane Sandy hit. As a result of the damage incurred, it is not possible to open or immediately relocate the ED at this time. Recognizing the key role the ED plays in providing healthcare services to the community; NYU Langone will establish an Urgent Care Center. The Urgent Care Center will be staffed by ED clinicians and will handle a range of walk-in cases.Patients presenting for medical care will be evaluated and those with minor complaints will be discharged once treated; those requiring additional evaluation will be admitted to the appropriate inpatient unit; andpatients who require services currently not available at the Medical Center will be transported via ambulance to an appropriate facility.
"The re-opening of NYU Langone Medical Center, a driving force in New York's economy, marks a milestone in the recovery process and means that tens of thousands of New Yorkers can return to the work they love," said Senator Schumer, whobroughtFEMA Administrator Craig Fugate on a tour of the medical center shortly after the storm. "The damage to the medical center one of the nation's premier facilities for patient care, research, and medical education almost took your breath away, but working closely with FEMA we were able to get NYU the funds they needed quickly, and they are re-opening in under two months. The quick turnaround is a testament to the dedication of the NYU board, executives and staff, and shows the tough stuff New Yorkers are made of. All New Yorkers can breathe a sigh of relief now that they once again have access to this top notch medical facility."
"New Yorkers have been accustomed to receiving outstanding care at Tisch Hospital at NYU Langone. When Superstorm Sandy put it out of commission, we were deprived of the world-class medical care we are used to finding at this superb hospital. I applaud the staff members of NYU Langone who have worked for eight weeks around the clock to prepare Tisch to reopen. Restoring our city's hospitals that were damaged during Superstorm Sandy is a major step toward recovery," said U.S. Representative Carolyn B. Maloney.
NYU Langone's Hospital for Joint Diseases (HJD), Center for Musculoskeletal Care (CMC), Clinical Cancer Center and other offsite buildings are open, many with extended hours of service to ensure all new and current patients have access to care. In addition, all physician offices located on the main campus are open in their original locations.
"The Hurricane truly showed who New York's heroes really are, with our staff here and our city and state's first responders risking all to help bring hundreds of patients to safety," said Dr. Grossman. "We are grateful to all those who helped us to achieve a timely and safe re-opening of our facilities including Senators Schumer and Gillibrand, Representatives Maloney, King, Lowey, and Crowley, Governor Cuomo, Mayor Bloomberg, and state and city officials including the staff of the State Departments of Health and Homeland Security.And most importantly, we want to thank our patients for their continued support and for not losing faith that we truly would be back stronger than ever."

OTTAWA, Dec. 21, 2012 /CNW/ -
The issue:
Health Canada is advising health care professionals and the public that, based on new information, the blood-thinning drug Pradaxa is not to be used in patients with artificial heart valves (also known as prosthetic heart valves) due to the risk of strokes, bleeding, heart attacks, and blood clots forming on the artificial heart valves.
Who is affected:
Patients who are taking Pradaxa and have an artificial heart valve.
What Health Canada is doing:
Health Canada is working with the manufacturer of Pradaxa, Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd., to update the Canadian Product Monograph for Pradaxa to strengthen the present warning that the drug should not be prescribed to patients with artificial heart valves. The Product Monograph for Pradaxa currently recommends against the use of Pradaxa in patients with artificial heart valves.
Background:
As per the Canadian Product Monograph, Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) is approved for the prevention of blood clots in patients who have undergone hip replacement or total knee replacement surgery, and for the prevention of stroke and blood clots in the body in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat) in whom a medication to prevent blood clotting is considered appropriate.
A recent European clinical trial involving patients with a type of artificial heart valve was terminated early due to significantly more adverse events for patients using Pradaxa.

Can Flesh and Blood Inherit The Kingdom?
Can Flesh and Blood Inherit The Kingdom? When "flesh and blood" is used in 1 Corinthians 15 to refer to the physical body it creates a clear contradiction in Scripture making the Bible teach just the opposite of what the text says. In this video on flesh and blood in 1 Cor. 15:50, we demonstrate the problem with that interpretation and also show how to properly understand the meaning. This is serious problems for traditional "resurrection of the body" futurist eschatology and the IBD view which also holds to an individual #39;s body of the text versus covenantal.
