A mesothelioma update

DEAR DR. GOTT: In a recent column, you stated that "seven W.R.

Is tetanus the cause of disability?

DEAR DR. GOTT: A patient bit my niece at work while she and others were trying to restrain her. Afterward, my niece was asked when she had her last tetanus shot; she wasn't sure. Rather than giving her a booster shot, she received antibiotics and dressings for the wound. A few weeks later, her fist began to clench and she had to place a ball in her hand to keep her nails from digging into her palm. She has severe pain in her arm and recently developed cellulitis. Workers' compensation delayed treatment, and she is now classified as permanently disabled. Do you have any knowledge in this area that would help her try to regain the use of her arm?

OPINION: Attorney General Labrador has no business meddling in election security

House Bill 470 would create an “Office of Election Crimes and Security” in Raul Labrador’s office. That would certainly be a waste of taxpayer dollars. The office staff would have little to do because Idaho elections have historically been fair and honest. The Attorney General’s sidekick, Dorothy Moon, who now chairs the extremist branch of the GOP, was never able to prove her wild claims that Canadians were coming over the border to vote in Idaho elections. The fraud claims of their friend, the My Pillow guy, were proven false. Where is the need for this new office?
