Hospital Fined After Operating on Wrong Side of Body Again

A Rhode Island hospital was fined $50,000 and reprimanded by the state Department of Health Monday after their third situation this year of a doctor performing brain surgery on the wrong side of a patient’s head. The most recent situation happened on Friday when the chief resident started brain surgery on the wrong side of the head of an 82 year old patient. The patient is okay, but back in August, a patient died a few weeks after a doctor performed brain surgery on the wrong side of the head.

They also say they are re-evaluating their training policies and providing more oversight by giving the nursing staff the power to make sure that the procedures are properly followed.

Along with the fine, the state has ordered the hospital to make a neurosurgery checklist that has information about the location of the surgery and the patient’s medical history. They also have to make a plan to train the staff of the new checklist.

Facebook Uses New Tracking Feature

Some users of the Facebook website are complaining that their recent marketing program is showing their purchases made online to their friends on the site. The new feature places a small box in the corner of Web browsers that keeps track of purchases made at Fandango, Overstock, and other online retailers. The box would alert users that information is about to be shared with Facebook unless they click “No Thanks.” The box would disappear after 20 seconds on its own if you don’t click anything and then consent to share information is automatically assumed. Users are given a second notice the next time they log on to Facebook, but they can miss it if they quickly click to visit a friend’s page or check e-mail.

The concept behind the idea of the tool is that if users see a friend buy something, they’d want to shop from the same place too or maybe buy the same item. Companies can even buy and ad next to the feed item with the friend’s picture. The tool raises concerns of privacy. Users can decline the sharing on a site-by-site basis, but they still have to be apart of the program.

Army Desertion Rates Up 80 Percent

Soldiers deserting the Army has increased by 80 percent since the United States invaded Iraq in 2003. Even though the totals are lower than during the Vietnam War, there is still a steady increase over the last four years and a 42 percent increase since last year.

A deserter is considered somebody that has been absent without leave for more than 30 days. The soldier would be discharged as a deserter. In total, 4698 soldiers deserted this year and 3301 deserted last year. Over 75 percent of the deserters are males in their first term of enlistment.

It is believed that the increase is due to many soldiers serving repeated and lengthy tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. They want to increase the number of soldiers in the Army and Marine Corps to give soldiers more time off between deployments,

There are four ways that a soldier can leave the Army before their enlistment contract is up. They can leave if they are considered unable to meet physical fitness requirements, if they are not able to adapt to the military, they say they are gay and are required to leave under the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, or if they desert by going AWOL.

Alicia Keys’ Myspace Page Hacked

The MySpace pages of Alicia Keys and other musicians have been hacked. The discovery came after users reported that the Alicia Keys page was blocked. The pages were flagged by users of Exploit Prevention Labs’ Linkscanner Software, which blocks pages containing malicious codes. When a visitor views the page, it would try to install malware on the visitor’s computer if there is no protection against it. If it can install the malware, then the user is asked to install a fake codec to see a video. The user is also in trouble if they click anywhere on the page, including ads, that are not a legitimate link, because the page would still try to install malicious codes.

Because the attack happened to many different pages, they don’t think that MySpace is involved in the hacks and the domain of the hackers is registered to Xiamen Hua Shang Sheng Shi Network Co. Ltd, in Xiamen, Fuji. They also don’t think that it is people trying to get the user names and passwords of the pages. MySpace says that it has taken care of the problem and they have removed the source of the phishing attempt and restored the celebrity profiles.
