Famous Wellness Website Sounds Alarm About Obesity

Obesity has now grown into a deadly disease in its own right, warns HBW.

July 13, 2004 --Health-Beauty-Wellness.com has just added a whole new weight loss and nutrition section to its website. It starts with an article aptly titled "Ten Important Things to Know before
You Join a Weight Loss Program", which you can follow up with over 25,000 words of carefully handpicked and densely packed up information every one should be familiar with.

"Very few people know their BMI (Body Mass Index), let alone how to determine it", warns Amsall Communications CEO and Chairman, A.M.Sall, HBW Publisher/Editor, "they don't even know if they are just "slightly overweight" or downright obese.

"A friend of mine considered herself as "pleasantly plump" until she was diagnosed with diabetes, was told she was heading slowly but surely for CHD (coronary heart disease)! She has started dieting and has lost 30 pounds in the last three months. She is still as "pleasant" as ever, though no longer "plump"!

He goes on to cite frightening facts such as:
* "More than a third of Americans will develop potentially life-threatening diabetes in their lifetime, and this is closely related to the "prevalence of obesity"

* And: "The CDC reports that "for the first time in history, our unhealthy eating habits now threaten to overtake tobacco as the top underlying preventable cause of death"

* Or again: "the U.S Surgeon General says "67% of everyone we know will die from a nutritional-related disease" - (Who knows, you might even be one of them.. God forbid!)

Anyone who is really interested in their health, in their future, or simply in enhancing their own quality of life should spend some time visiting at least this new section - if not all - of the
Health-Beauty-Wellness.com website.

It is at once pleasant, useful and beautiful.

A.M.Sall is simply inviting you to "turn all your lifetime into
quality time".

HBW offers enough resources, both free and paid to do just that, which is probably the reason it has grown at lightening speed, making the Top 1.5% of Alexa's 16,000,000 websites less than six months after being launched.

Medical Malpractice Cases: Trends and Insights

An incidence of medical malpractice can be a difficult matter to prove. Recent statistics indicate that almost two-thirds of all cases result in victory for the defendant. The attorney is required to prove both negligence on the part of the caregiver, and damage or loss as a result of this negligence. Despite the difficulty this often presents, the prevalence of large malpractice insurance policies demonstrates that doctors and large healthcare providers are not too eager to take any risks.

The most common situation that could result in a medical malpractice case is that of risky procedures or treatments given to a patient during a hospital stay. Hospitals are generally liable for any actions undertaken by any of its employees, obviously including any negligence on the part of a doctor or care provider.

The risks of incurring a malpractice case become even greater when one considers that malpractice is not always based on what a doctor might have done, but also what he or she did not do. For example, take the Polk County Florida case in which the family of a thirty-one year old wife and mother was awarded $1.75 million due to an undiagnosed, and subsequently fatal heart disease. In this case, the court did not find a direct cause-and-effect relationship in which the doctor in question misdiagnosed, made an error in surgery or otherwise injured the patient. He or she simply failed to make the diagnosis of a heart condition that would result in the woman’s death. After it was determined that that doctor displayed negligence in omitting this diagnosis, that a reasonable person could assume that the proper diagnosis both should have been made, and that this would have avoided the patient’s death, the case was ruled in favor of the plaintiff.

Despite the above example –and the many like it that occur each year in hospitals in Florida and across the country – courts usually find medical malpractice cases in favor of the defendant (the doctor or hospital, etc.). Nevertheless, with damages often reaching into the millions with each finding of medical malpractice, doctors and healthcare providers approach medical malpractice cases with the utmost concern – and a hefty insurance policy.
