To Your Health, July 2011
“Drowning Prevention & Water Safety”

Hello and welcome to a steamy summer edition of the HCAM News monthly medical segment To Your Health. I’m Dr. Jim Kenealy.
Taking a cool dip in a pool, lake or the ocean is a natural, refreshing way to escape the heat and humidity of summer. Swimming is also a great way to exercise – providing an excellent cardiovascular work- out, without putting a strain on the back or pounding away on weight-bearing bones and joints. That’s why aquatic exercises are recommend for those with arthritis, back problems or the elderly.

Medicines are wonderful things. From over-the-counter painkillers like basic aspirin to the prescription drugs now seen daily in television ads, they cure and provide relief from many ills and diseases, from headaches to respiratory conditions to tropical diseases. But there’s a downside as well.

“Medication errors are among the highest number of errors we encounter in medicine, in the hospital and in the home,” says Mary Anna Sullivan, M.D., President of the Massachusetts Coalition for the Prevention of Medical Errors.

To Your Health June 2011: “Fun in the Sun”

by Jim Kenealy, MD, Health Reporter
13 June, 2011

Hello and welcome to the June edition of the HCAM News monthly medical segment To Your Health. I’m Dr. Jim Kenealy.

Summer has finally arrived. What’s better and healthier than enjoying our favorite outdoor activities and having some fun in the sun? Sunshine is important to our health – it keeps our bones strong and healthy by generating vitamin D; it helps regulate our daily rhythms; it even elevates our mood and makes our outlook a little brighter. But, as always, too much of a good thing can be dangerous.

Here are some big numbers to think about: 79,000 deaths, 1.6 million hospitalizations, and 4 million emergency room visits every year. While those are sobering statistics, that’s just part of the annual impact of alcoholism and alcohol abuse in the United States. Some 18 million people abuse alcohol or are alcohol dependent. The associated health care costs are high, and we only need to read the stories about drunken drivers or alcohol-induced violence, along with lives and families disrupted and broken, to see that some of the costs can’t be counted in dollars and cents.
