Health workers will now be required to take more than 100 drug tests during their first year in treatment. One positive drug test result will be enough to have a health professional be temporarily suspended from practice. All restrictions to licenses will be posted online for public access. The new standards were created by the state legislature last year to address the way recovery programs for doctors were being handled. The Medical Board of California ended its diversion program in 2008 after several a...

The Swine Flu (H1N1) has everyone in a panic, and with good cause. Here’s a brief overview of the facts. The Facts about Swine Flu Swine Flu is common in pigs, and this is not the first outbreak in humans. In 1918, pigs and humans became ill at the same time, which created a question as to connection. In 1930, the flu was identified in pigs. Another outbreak occurred in 1976, and the nation experienced significant turmoil over deaths and a paralyzing disorder thought to be associated with the inoculations provided by the US government’s National Influenza Immunization Program. Until recently, most Swine Flu occurrences were of the H1N1 strain. However, in 1997, new variations were identified.

I had assumed that the healthcare workers I came in contact with also got them. But you know what they say about assuming! An article from Forbes said as many as half of all the healthcare workers around don’t get a flu shot. They say this brings up two very important points of concern. One, that if they people get sick themselves, who will treat the patients? And two, that they could possibly infect more people by having the disease themselves. I understand that healthcare workers have a lot of diseases that they are in contact with. So they probably have a good immune system in general, and also, they couldn’t possibly protect themselves from everything. But the flu? When we have something like a vaccine? Is this smart?
