I was hit by a truck a few weeks ago while crossing a crosswalk.. The driver was drunk, and I was lucky and lived..I suffered alot of damage to both of my legs, including a fractured tibia and fibula on my left leg. These fractures, road wounds, and subsequent repairs (involving a titanium rod and a bunch of screws) left my left leg a big red sausage..I came to find out, with injuries like this, dangerous blood clots become an issue. They put me on Baxter Heparin injections in the hospital. Heparin is a blood thinner used to deal with blood clots. When I arrived home last week, I began to read stories about Heparin being recalled.

Word is that 19 people are dead because of contaminated Heparin turning up in the United States (as of today in Germany too)

Here is an article talking about the recall and causes..

Im posting this because the FDA is not letting the patients themselves know that they are taking a potentially contaminated product. I had to personally let my doctor and pharmacy know that this recall was even taking place. They were never formally notified by the FDA or the State of Washington. If you know any patients taking this popular drug, please let them know that all Baxter Heparin is being recalled because it is contaminated..

Thank You..

Washington won’t become the 40th state to authorize police checkpoints as a way to catch drunk drivers - at least, not this year.

A controversial bill in the Legislature that would have let law officers set up sobriety checkpoints is dying quietly in a committee without ever coming up for a vote.

Rep. Pat Lantz, D-Gig Harbor, House Judiciary Committee chairwoman and the measure’s prime sponsor, said “I simply couldn’t get the votes” from enough of her committee members to advance the bill. Today is the deadline for policy committees to pass bills they hope to get through the Legislature this session.

“I have to say I’m disappointed,” Lantz said. The checkpoint bill, House Bill 2771, was one of only a few known ways that could actually prevent drunk-driving fatalities, she said. “We will never get a chance to prove it now.”

Rep. Brendan Williams, an Olympia Democrat and attorney, conducted an e-mail campaign among his colleagues to point out the legal reasons why road blocks would not be a good idea and why they would not withstand a constitutional challenge...

My question for Rep. Brendan Williams is: Since when did driving become a "right", and not a privilege?
