    BBC News Reports This Week - Contrasting Healthcare in the NHS and US Systems

    July 16th, 2008

    by Christopher Cornue

    Hello - as most of you know, I've had a strong interest in comparing our healthcare system in the United States with those in other countries and have written about it in several posts in the past (and several in the very near future). I just heard about a series of reports from the BBC contrasting the NHS and the US System. Some of these reports will be broadcast on the BBC Channel on the XM Satellite Service (perhaps Sirius, too -- I'm not certain) today at various times. The one time I caught was 8:00 eastern tonight, but there are others earlier (at either 1 or 3 pm today). Also, on the BBC World Service website at the following link (http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/ ) they have a report posted titled "Building Better Health." Take a look (er, listen) if you get a chance and are interested!

    Safety Tip

    Hospital facilities built today do not include asbestos, but many older buildings still have asbestos components in them. Steam pipes, boilers and furnace ducts were often insulated with an asbestos blanket or asbestos paper tape because of their fireproof and insulating properties. Resilient floor tiles were made from vinyl asbestos. Asbestos cement was employed in roofing, shingles and siding materials. The hazard of this carcinogen increases when the fibers become airborne, and untrained contractors can inadvertently increase risks by cutting, tearing, sawing, scraping, or sanding asbestos materials. Elevated asbestos levels can occur in hospitals where old materials are damaged or disturbed. It is best to leave undamaged asbestos material alone if it is not likely to be disturbed. Inhaling asbestos fibers is known to cause mesothelioma and other diseases. Be sure to use an experienced asbestos removal contractor when you need to get rid of old materials that might contain asbestos.
