“Gastroenteritis following a retirement party at the State Capitol” 1 Outbreak Summary Approximately 300 persons attended a retirement party at the Nebraska State Capitol held on May 27, 1999. Most of the attendees worked in the Capitol. A private caterer (Caterer A) prepared and served food for the reception. Based on initial telephone interviews of persons reporting illness, the predominant symptoms were nausea and diarrhea, and the incubation period was approximately 24-30 hours. The following foods were served at the retirement reception: Swedish meatballs, taco dip, crab dip, a vegetable tray and herbed ranch dip, cake, nuts and mints. The vegetable tray consisted of cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, green peppers, and radishes. All foods were prepared onsite on the day of the reception with the exception of the nuts, which were purchased by a coworker, and the mints, which were made by a coworker. The Swedish meatballs consisted of ground beef, ground pork, sour cream and flour. The meatballs were cooked twice. The taco dip contained layers of cream cheese mixed with salsa, ground beef, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, cheese and salsa. The taco dip was prepared manually by Caterer A in the kitchen at the State Capitol, and was not cooked after assembly. The crab dip contained canned real crab, cream cheese and ketchup. The investigators received completed surveys from 227 attendees. Of those 227 attendees, 128 (56%) persons reported a gastrointestinal illness within 72 hours of the reception. The average interval between time of food consumption and onset of illness was 32.3 hours (range 6 to 67 hours). Table 1 shows the symptoms reported by ill attendees. The duration of symptoms generally lasted 24 to 36 hours. One person reported being symptomatic for five days. Eight persons sought medical treatment, mostly for re-hydration therapy. Persons working in the security office at the State Capitol ate samples of the items served at the reception except the taco dip. None of the people from this office reported illness.

Case Study:

Surgical mistakes can result in serious medical complications for patients. Errors by surgeons can run the gamut from performing unnecessary surgery on a patient, to negligent technique in carrying out the procedure — even leaving medical instruments inside a patient. Many (though not all) common surgical mistakes rise to the level of medical negligence and can form the basis of a medical malpractice lawsuit against the surgeon and any other responsible party. To give you an idea of what these cases might look like, this article provides a snapshot of three real-life surgical mistake medical malpractice cases.

Sophia Savage Case

In 2017, Sophia Savage underwent a hysterectomy at the Three Rivers Medical Center in Louisa, Kentucky. During the surgery, a surgical sponge was left inside her abdomen, but the presence of the sponge wasn’t revealed until 2020, when Savage had an x-ray after she reported pain in her stomach. She had to undergo additional surgery to remove the sponge. During this procedure it was discovered that the sponge was lodged in her lower intestine. The doctors had to remove a 49 centimeter section of her small intestine in order to remove the sponge. Due to this she suffered from lingering abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation as well as bouts of anxiety and depression. She and her husband Darrell file a surgical mistake lawsuit against the Three Rivers Medical Center. The court awarded them $2.5 million in damages. Her husband Darrell was awarded additional $500,000 for loss of consortium.

There are two writing components
where you write an issue analysis, pretending you are a legislative staff
person for a Member of Congress. The writing can be on an issue of your
choosing, but it must focus on policy debate, status, and politics of an issue.
The Member of Congress values staff for providing information on subjects and
not opinions. (800 words) Related to this, staff plays a continuous role
interacting with constituents on complex issues.

The other writing component
involves drafting a letter on an issue of your choosing explaining an issue on
which the constituent and representative disagree. (500 words) Respect, tone,
and information go a long way when people disagree.
