Deaths ordinary

Cultural iatrogenesis - a deep culturally mediated sapping of people s ability to deal with sickness and death. Ordinary suffering and the experience of life and death then become commodities, illnesses that required treatment, rather than life to be lived and experienced - the paralysis of healthy responses to illness and suffering in Illich s memorable phrase. 

Describe the life and death of an ordinary, empty water glass. Utilize the concept threshold energy. ... 

Typical accident statistics for various industries are shown in Table 1-3. A FAR of 1.2 is reported in Table 1-3 for the chemical industry. Approximately half these deaths are due to ordinary industrial accidents (falling down stairs, being run over), the other half to chemical exposures.2... 

With higher concentrations than those mentioned above, animals exhibit, in addition to myosis, the following symptoms salivation, muscular weakness, loss of muscular co-ordination, gasping, diarrhoea and finally cessation of respiration. There is intense constriction of the bronchioles and the immediate cause of death is asphyxia. Respiration ceases before the heart stops beating. The L.c. 50 s for rats and for mice for a 10 min. exposure are respectively 0-36 and 0-44 mg./l. Air saturated with D.F.P. at ordinary temperatures contains about 8 mg./l. and this will kill mice within 1 min. During exposures for a limited time (e.g. 5 min.), rabbits appear to be more resistant to the inhaled vapour of D.F.P. than are other animals. It appears that the peculiar nasal structure of the rabbit is responsible for its great resistance. 

What impressed Klumpp and Ford most about Watkins was what they deemed a certain callousness in his conversation. He spoke of a preparation of colloidal sulfur he had devised. When marketed, this compound resulted in the death of a number of people. "Mr. Watkins told about this event," Klump wrote, "as if it were an ordinary incident in the business of making and marketing pharmaceuticals." Watkins was getting ready to release a product containing another drug, cinchophen, about which the FDA had issued strong warnings. 

My fear is that if these ideas are less than true then our world is destined for a very final and ordinary death, for reason has grown too feeble to save us from the demons we have set loose. My hope is that I may bear witness to the fact that there is a great mystery... 

An unusual bronze skin color has been noted in some patients pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes is more often described as ordinary jaundice and is seen in most poisoning cases. Oliguria or anuria, the most serious manifestation, may become manifest before the third day. In fatal cases, death... 

In the aftermath ofthe 1948 conference, most of the remaining honest geneticists in the Soviet Union were fired from their jobs and replaced by Lysenko s proteges. The famous branched wheat that gained Stalin s support for Lysenko turned out to give much poorer yields than ordinary, unbranched wheat, but with Stalin s support, this was no problem for Lysenko. After Stalin s death, it was not long before Lysenko hypnotized his successor, Nikita Khrushchev, who provided the same top-level political support to which Lysenko had become accustomed. 

The treatment of poisoning by local anesthetics should begin with prevention and the selection, dosage, and technique of the administration gross errors and carelessness have caused many deaths. The previous administration of a sedative, especially of the barbituric series, diminishes the risk by suppressing the convulsions and their interference with respiration, so that animals survive one and a half to four times the ordinary fatal dose of cocaine or procaine if administered hypodermically. 

There used to be a crime that was considered to be worse than any other it was known as crimen atrox (atrocious crime). According to witness testimony this included the most horrific abuses and ways of murdering people and animals that the human mind can conceive of, and even included harm to and destruction of the environment. Not only was such a crime prosecuted directly by the public prosecutor as soon as it became known - the courts were even instructed not to observe the normal rules of procedure, since these were satanic crimes that could not be dealt with in the ordinary way. Even death could not keep the victims from being persecuted their bodies were simply exhumed without much ado.
