| Certainty is Uncertain |
The headline from this week that gave me pause was this one: "Prions That Cause Mad Cow Disease Can Spread Through Air."
Wow! Anyone who has at least casually followed CJD and Mad Cow associated likely infection through blood transmission or ingestion - and certainly not airborne transmission. The implications for food processing and healthcare are going to prove significant and costly. When it comes to medicine, so often certainty is often turned on its head and what was considered a truth is spun to an untruth. This headline is a reminder to us all to be sure that as we deliver care, we periodically question assumptions, not just trust in long standing "truths" but put them to the test. Want to test some of your assumptions and your knowledge? Check out the coupon at the bottom of this newsletter for information about our latest free CEU program.
Sincerely, Ralph J. Basile Vice President - Marketing Healthmark Industries Company, Inc.

Healthcare practitioners and Infection Control experts look to the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) for guidance on how to deal with possible CJD contamination. The CDC has a web site dedicated to educating and answering questions on proper infection control practices for CJD.
