In Massachusetts insurance companies will do what they can do to pay the least amount possible for your pain and your suffering if you have been struck as a pedestrian. You should contact an attorney because the attorney can immediately contact the insurance company on your behalf, provide any medical documentation, secure your lost wages and to make sure you get a fair and reasonable settlement for your pain and suffering.

A deadly strain of the E. Coli 0145 virus is to blame for recent serious illnesses across the United States. This strain has unfortunately already caused the death of a 21 month old child in Louisiana. According to the Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention, there have been fourteen cases of people infected with this strain of E. Coli 0145.
As of right now, an investigation is ongoing as to how the infected persons came into contact with the virus. It is unknown if the virus is being contracted through a food source or a non-food source. Health officials will determine the source through interviews with persons affected by this virus, asking them specific questions as to which foods they consumed or possible carriers they came into contact with. Once they establish a common source between the parties they will have a better idea as to the cause of the outbreak.
E. Coli can be contracted from a variety of different foods including meats, fruits and vegetables. It can also be contracted through water that has not been disinfected or contact with feces of an infected person or animal.

Exeter Hospital Experiencing Large Hepatitis C Outbreak
State investigators in New Hampshire are investigating a possible outbreak of Hepatitis C at Exeter Hospital after numerous patients tested positive for the identical strain of the disease.
Hepatitis C is a possible fatal liver disease that can be spread through blood exposure. According to the Union Leader, all of the patients infected received care at the hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab. As of June 12, 2012, New Hampshire health officials were still exploring all possibilities for the cause of the outbreak.
Among the scenarios being explored by the Division of Public Health Services is that an employee infected with Hepatitis C may have transmitted the virus to patients by abusing narcotics and then injecting patients with a used syringe.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this type of scenario has happened in three medical facilities in the United States over the last decade.
As of Monday, June 11, 2012, 14 people were linked to the outbreak at Exeter Hospital. According to Bangor Daily News, Dr. Jose Montero, New Hampshire’s public health director, state officials are looking at three main areas: One is the hospital’s procedures for preventing infections, managing narcotics and disposing of medications; the second is how well employees comply with the hospital guidelines in those areas; and third, the potential that hospital narcotics were abused by an employee who then spread Hepatitis C to patients using a contaminated syringe.
