When you go to the fair or to an amusement park, you probably take for granted that the rides are safe – that they’ve been inspected, properly maintained, and tested fully. But such was not the case on Sunday afternoon in Norwalk, CT. Eighteen people were injured – including at least twelve children – when a carnival ride at the Oyster Festival lost power. According to NBC, witnesses reported that it was horrifying to watch the ride suddenly stop, sending riders flying into the air. No one understood in the moment what was happening, and children were screaming in terror. Fortunately, all of the injuries were non-fatal; some of the children suffered from broken bones and/or needed neck braces. Though
[UPDATE: In early October 2018, Congress passed and President Trump signed into law the Sports Medicine Licensure Clarity Act.] As of right now, when a sports doctor travels with a team out of state, their medical malpractice insurance doesn’t always travel with them. But that might change soon. The House of Representatives has approved the Sports Medicine Licensure Clarity Act, which would allow a sports doctor to continue being covered by their medical malpractice insurance even while traveling out of state with the team. Travel is a way of life in professional sports. When a doctor pays for medical malpractice insurance, we assume their work is covered. But usually that insurance only covers the state in which the doctor is

Connextion Point — a company specializing in serving Medicare and Medicaid customers of some of the nation’s largest health insurers — will open a 400-employee call center in Memphis.

Posted on May 15, 2016
One common misconception about elder abuse is that it most often happens in nursing homes and other care-giving facilities. In fact, the majority of elder abuse happens at home. According to the 2004 Survey of Adult Protective Services, most alleged perpetrators are adult children (32.6%) or other family members (21.5%).
