PA motorcyclist killed in tragic accident in New Jersey

Posted on July 27th, 2010 No Comments

A Pennsylvania motorcyclist was killed Friday after a tragic motorcycle accident in New Jersey.

Sparta Police Department officials report that the accident occurred around 4:45 PM on Friday.  60-year old Charles Ridden Whipple of Canadensis, Pennsylvania was riding his motorcycle on Route 181 behind two other motorcyclists when one of them lost control, crossed the double yellow lines, and slid into a curb near the intersection at Sawmill Road.  Whipple tried to avoid the accident but the brakes on his 2007 Harley Davidson locked up.  Whipple then ran into a car driven by 60-year old Elizabeth Mayer.  Mayer had stopped her vehicle to avoid hitting the first motorcyclist.

Whipple was taken to St. Clare’s Hospital in Dover, New Jersey where he was later pronounced dead.  The first motorcyclist, 45-year old Gregory Hartman, is being charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, failure to keep right, and failure to wear a helmet.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Charles Whipple’s family and friends during this difficult time.

VA Medical Center sued for botched radiation

Posted on July 13th, 2010 No Comments

The Philadelphia VA Medical Center and Dr. Gary Kao are being sued by five former patients for botched radiation therapy.

Five veterans and former cancer patients, Richard Mitchell, James Armstrong, Barry Lackro, Donald Pepper, and John Berry, that were treated by Dr. Kao at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center believe they received improper treatment for their cancer.  Dr. Kao performed a therapy called brachytherapy on all five patients.

Investigators from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission looked into the hospital and Dr. Kao’s practices and determined that of 114 patients receiving brachytherapy, Dr. Kao only performed the procedure correctly 16 times.   Furthermore, the NRC found that staff at the cancer unit often tried to cover up mistakes in medical records.  Dr. Kao was terminated from his position and the cancer unit at Philadelphia VA Medical Center was closed down.
