coach knight – fire his abusive butt

 

What did I miss?  Because you are a coach at a University, allows

you to physically abuse and psychologically misuse your players? 

NOT !   And not infront of national television audiences.

If anyone really cares whether or not Coach Knight breaks the record he is aimed at.  His abuse continues…just like that of domestic violence.  Now, the honeymoon period of flowers, forget-me-nots, and joking style.  But, as many Emergency Physicians know,  the cycle of his violence toward players, coaches, referees, and fans will only continue…Coach Knight has proven that already.  Is he on METH?

There is NO lesson learned here.  From the tape, the athlete’s TMJ now has a problem for life…Very difficult area once injured to rehab !  The athlete’s head “flew back” … not a “love tap” like the talking heads were saying on some shows trying to justify that violence.

Coach Few of Gonzaga and other coaches must take the lead here.  No person will gain self-respect, dignity, and optimism by being assaulted by an authority figure…just ask any child abuse victim !

FIRE HIM NOW

SOMEONE WILL GET HURT !   INTERVENE AND COUNSEL. 

WHO BEARS THAT RESPONSIBILITY THEN…THE UNIVERSITY, THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, THE MEDIA FOR PLAYING THE TAPE OVER AND OVER, OR HIS FAMILY FOR NOT STEPPING IN….ANY ATTORNEYS OUT THERE TO TAKE THIS ONE ON AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY?  ON BEHALF OF ALL “PEEWEES.”

INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE – STILL A PROBLEM

SOME SAY AT LEAST ONE-THIRD OF ALL WOMEN WILL BE INVOLVED IN SOME FORM OF DOMESTIC PARTNER VIOLENT BEHAVIOR IN THEIR LIFETIME.

AN ESTIMATED 5 MILLION INCIDENCES OCCUR ANNUALLY.

AN ESTIMATED 1500 WOMEN DIE YEARLY FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

EMPLOYEES MAY REPRESENT 20-25% OF VICTIMS OF THIS TYPE OF LIFESTYLE.

IMPACT ZONE:  INTERVENE WITH A FELLOW EMPLOYEE, ASSOCIATE, FRIEND IF YOU THINK THE QUESTION IS APPROPRIATE.   "ARE YOU SAFE?"  "CAN WE HELP?"  "HOW CAN WE HELP?"

MEDICAL RESEARCH AND PRISONERS – HELL REVISITED

FROM YEARS AGO, TO THE 50'S-70'S, MEDICAL RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED ON PRISONERS BY VARIOUS RESEARCHERS AND MEDICAL-PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.  INMATES IN THE RESEARCH WERE EXPOSED TO CARCINOGENS, RADIOACTIVES, HALLUCINOGENS.  EASY TARGETS FOR SUCH WITH LIMITED RIGHTS, NEED FOR MONEY, AND THE GREED OF EXPANSIVE BIG PHARMA BUSINESS.  NOW IT APPEARS, AN EXPANDING REVISIT OF THE PROCESS IS OCCURRING. 

THE INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE ADVISORY PANEL HAS PROPOSED NEW GUIDELINES FOR SUCH ONGOING AND ACTIVE RESEARCH, NOW IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

IS THE BENEFIT WORTH THE RISK OF REVISITING THE HELL OF YESTERYEAR…………….

THE HOLMESBURG PRISON IS A CLASSIC CASE OF SUCH RESEARCH POLICIES…WHAT IS THE NEXT AND CURRENT CLASSIC CASE OF EXPLOITATION FOR THE "PUBLIC GOOD?"

meth abuse: stuff, pack, or parachute

 

Methamphetamine, the illegal and illicit drug, as well as cocaine, heroin, and others drugs have been tried in many deadly ways:

Body Stuffer:  eats a wrapped amount of drug quickly, usually to evade law authorities

Body Packer:  eats carefully wrapped amounts of drugs in multiple packets to carry or be the "mule" – items such as aluminum foil packets, baggies, condoms – all loaded with drugs.  Packers may eat these, surgically embed packets, or place them rectally to transport, known as "keistered."

The "parachute" technique involves ingesting an amount of illicit drug in a wrapper, that with time, slowly unwraps, or unravels to release its poison in a "slower" or "controlled" fashion.

OF COURSE, BODYPACKERS, BODYSTUFFERS, AND BODYPARACHUTERS ALL HAVE SIGNIFICANT RISK FOR SUDDEN BURSTS OF DRUG OR POISON BEING RELEASED, THEREBY CAUSING SIGNIFICANT TOXICITY AND DEATH.

METH ABUSE – PREVENTION – ADOLESCENTS *mighty meth mites or mighty mites*

In a recent study, sixth and seventh graders that were allowed to participate in a family program of life skills showed significant reductions in use of methamphetamine.  The participants were followed for over 4 and 5 years; in two different controlled prevention studies.  Certainly, as with the D.A.R.E. Program put on by Police Departments and schools nationwide, these type of studies do provide hope in the prevention of meth abuse at early ages.  Moreso, the discussion of drug abuse in the young school aged child with families and with experts can only help nationwide.  The epidemic of meth abuse leads to broken families, broken humans, broken finances, and broken minds in our young children.  Certainly more work must be done in these areas of poisonous and toxic destruction of the human spirit and can only benefit the condition of our human enigma.
