She Said, He Said: Carly Fiorina and Donald Trump Compare Business Records

When Republican Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina started rising in polls, frontrunner Donald Trump put the businesswoman in his crosshairs. Specifically, Trump said, he doesn't like her ugly face. At the second Republican debate on Wednesday, September 16, moderator Jake Tapper began the night by asking Fiorina to comment on whether Trump is suited to be the leader of the free world. That kicked off a back and forth between the candidates that lasted on and off all night, as the pair traded insults about their respective business careers. Trump is nothing more than a puffed up "entertainer" with a history of bankruptcy, Fiorina said. And Fiorina was a total disaster that cost Hewlett-Packard billions of dollars and thousands of jobs, Trump fired back. Naturally, Teflon Trump d...

Young Boy Suffers Serious Side Effects Due to Poor Fumigation Job

A Florida family realized their worst nightmare as an improper termite control fumigation by a Terminix subcontractor left their 10-year-old son with serious brain damage, according to CNN. Peyton McCaughey's family planned to have the house fumigated during the weekend of August 14 by Sunland Pest Control Services, which Terminex contracted for the job.

Hunting Bans Lead To Overflow Of Wildlife In Botswana

According to a recent report from The New York Times, a trophy hunting ban in Botswana has left the village of Sankuyo open to intrusions from wild animals. Unlike the deer and fowl that 38 million Americans hunt every year, though, these villagers are subjected to invasions from lions and elephants. The wildlife have been consuming the village's resources, including crops and livestock. Though the hunting ban was meant to protect local wildlife, it has led to an excess of wild animals in surrounding villages. As a result, villagers have had to flee to their homes after dusk, fearing possible harm from these animals. Jimmy Baitsholedi Ntema, a Sankuyo native, remembered a time where things were more balanced between hunting and preservation. “Before, when there was hunting, we ...

Number of Birth Injury Lawsuits Filed Rising Over Zofran Drug Use During Pregnancy

In recent years major research studies have linked the anti-nausea drug, Zofran, to congenital heart defects. Almost two million birth records from Denmark and Sweden were reviewed by researchers who found babies exposed to the drug during their first trimester more than doubled their risk of "cardiac septal defects," according to the global news site Digitaljournal.com. Today many of the mothers affected, who were prescribed Zofran as an "off-label" treatment to their morning sickness, have filed birth injury lawsuits against the drug's pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline. Reports indicate there are currently 34 individual motions filed in federal courts. One Ohio law firm, Monheit Law, has started the website Zofranlegal.com where this particular case, among others, is made pub...

We've seen the American healthcare system make leaps and bounds in recent years. Planned Parenthood does wonderful things for low-income families, and urgent care facilities see three million patients per week for much cheaper than the ER.

Drive Electric Week Shows How Electric Cars Have Carved a Place For Themselves

Hybrid cars may not seem quintessentially "cool," but they sell themselves. All it takes is one conversation with a hybrid driver. At least, that's what it seems like to 34-year-old Orlando resident Thron Crowe. "Every year it's the same kinds of questions, which is great because it means more people are learning about it," Crowe told the Orlando Sentinel about his experience as the driver of a Nissan Leaf. "They recognize the car and it'll be either a five-minute or one-hour conversation. Next thing you know, they say they are getting one." Talking about electric cars is just one of the things Crowe likes doing, and it's exactly what he did at Valencia College's celebration of Drive Electric Week, which featured renewable energy experts from around the local area, including city off...

Psychedelic Drugs: a Hidden Treatment for Mental Illness?

For decades, psychedelic drugs have been considered an illicit substance for some, and a trippy pastime for others. However, that may soon change -- as recent research suggests that these drugs could help in treating mental illness. According to a Sept. 9 Clapway.com article, psychedelics such as LSD, DMT, MDMA and others showed positive results among patients with mental illnesses, a recent analysis published in the journal Canadian Medical Association Journalstated. “The re-emerging paradigm of psychedelic medicine may open clinical doors and therapeutic doors long closed,” writes Dr. Evan Wood, Professor of Medicine and Canada Research Chair, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC. The journal's analysis outlined several recent studies that hint at successful psychedelic trea...

Smaller Pharmacy Networks Benefit Pharmacy Chains, Study Shows

How can pharmacies play a role in reducing prescription drug abuse? It may be as simple as limiting which pharmacies a patient has access to, according to a new study. But will it hurt patients' medical care -- and the success of smaller pharmacies -- in the process? The jury still seems to be out. This was the question asked by a study, focused on CVS Pharmacies, that was recently published in the academic journal JAMA Internal Medicine by Dr. William Shrank, a senior vice president and chief scientific officer of CVS Health. The primary finding was that if insurance companies shrink their pharmacy networks -- thereby making it more difficult for patients to access a pharmacy that accepts their insurance plan -- the number of prescriptions actually filled by patients drops dramatically....
