A recent study carried out at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School revealed a disturbing fact: one out of three stethoscopes used in emergency rooms carried the virus methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as MRSA, which can be deadly. The study also showed that the longer the stethoscope remained unsterilized, the more likely the stethoscope will carry the virus.
In response to the alarmingly high rates of preventable medical errors in the U.S. health care system, the Joint Commission created a Universal Protocol - a checklist of steps to take in medical procedures. The nonprofit group, which accredits health care programs and organizations, devised the checklist to help medical care providers avoid mistakes.
For over a week, snow-weary New Jersey residents have struggled to dig themselves out from under almost two feet of snow. And while cleared sidewalks and parking lots are a welcome sight, they bring with them the danger of severe slip and fall accidents. When someone suffers an injury because of an inadequately shoveled sidewalk or parking lot, commercial property owners may be responsible.
