15-year-old schoolgirl died after ‘doctor mistook tuberculosis for lovesickness’ —


Alina Sarag was seen by more than five doctors at four different hospitals but medics failed to detect the curable disease.

Her distraught parents even called her GP more than 50 times about their daughter’s ailing condition over a four-and-a-half month period before her death on January 6 last year.

An inquest heard that her GP, Dr Sharad Shripadrao Pandit, accused her parents of “mollycoddling” her.

Shockingly, he even claimed her symptoms were brought on because she was ‘lovesick’.

Her distraught father, Sultan Sarag, 43, broke down as he told Birmingham Coroner’s Court: “The doctor said to her ‘Did you meet someone on holiday? Are you missing him?’

“She found it very distressing he was suggesting she was lovesick for a boy.

“He said all the problems were in her head and she should see a psychiatrist or spiritual healer.

“When he said that in front of her it really broke her heart.

“He said she was only doing it to keep me at the house nursing her.

“He [Dr Pandit] said ‘It is because of you that she is making it up’.

“He said when she was younger my attitude had a detrimental effect on her.

“I was running around looking after her, nursing her.

“He said ‘She’s only doing that to keep you in the house so you don’t go from there’.

“That’s what his explanation was.”

Mr Sarag also claimed Dr Pandit refused to test his daughter for TB.

He told the inquest: “He said, ‘We don’t need these tests, we are not going to get them done either.’

“As you tried to progress he just really changed the subject.”

Mr Sarag – who is also being treated for TB – told the inquest his daughter vomited up to 10 times a day and had to be carried to bed “like an ancient woman with weak legs”.

He added that he made more than 50 phone calls to the GP’s surgery in Birmingham but Dr Pandit failed to return his calls.

Mr Sarag said: “There was mass neglect. The medical profession, as soon as they mess up they hide.”

Alina first contracted TB in 2009 after a girl at her school was diagnosed with the illness.

She was prescribed a course of antibiotics at Birmingham Chest Clinic but medical staff never followed up her treatment.

Alina was struck down again in July 2010 after returning from a trip to Pakistan with her family.

The inquest heard a simple phlegm test would have shown Alina was suffering from TB but this was never carried out.

Instead, doctors shrugged off her family’s concerns and told them Alina was suffering from a chest infection despite being classed as a “high risk” patient.

Alina’s weight plummeted and at one point she was so ill she could only tolerate baby food.

After doctors at Heartland and City hospitals did not detect TB, Alina was admitted to Sandwell Hospital where she stayed for five days.

TB was picked up but no phlegm test was carried out and a chest X-ray was thought to have found a chest infection.

She later saw a clinical psychologist at Birmingham Children’s Hospital but was in too much pain to complete the assessment.

On January 6, 2011 Alina was rushed to hospital after suffering breathing difficulties and she died of a cardiac arrest.

Following her death, Alina, who attended Golden Hillock School in Sparkhill, Birmingham, a clinical review revealed doctors missed repeated opportunities to diagnose her condition.

The family have enlisted Birmingham-based solicitors Irwin Mitchell.

The inquest, which is expected to take up to six days and call 20 witnesses, continues.

TIMETABLE OF MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

August 26, 2010: Alina referred to Heartland Hospital but given all-clear.

October 5, 2010: Alina referred to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, but history of TB not picked up and hospital queried typhoid or an infection.

October 12, 2010: Alina transferred to Sandwell Hospital after going to City Hospital in Birmingham. She remains there for five days and TB is noted but sputum test not carried out.

October 30, 2010: Alina attended Birmingham Children’s Hospital where doctors dismissed her condition was “psychological issue”.

December 14, 2010: Saw clinical psychologist but was in such extreme pain that the psychologist could not complete the assessment.

January 6, 2011: Mr Sarag dials 999 after Alina has breathing difficulties but she dies of cardiac arrest.

Black Iraq War Vet Uses Rap To Rhyme Himself Out Of Suicidal Thoughts —


On one of the many days Leo Dunson wanted to die, the Iraq veteran place a gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. The loaded weapon misfired. For the troubled former soldier, it was another inexplicable failure, like his divorce or inability to make friends after returning from the war.


In a Las Vegas recording studio, Dunson rapped about his life: “What’s incorrect with me? Got PTSD. These pills ain’t working, man, I still can’t reckon.”

One in six Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder in 2011, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Some committed suicide. Others are receiving mental health services at military hospitals. Many more are like Dunson and have refused help, according to research by the Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Center for PTSD.

Dunson, who was discharged from the Army in 2008 and diagnosed by the military with PTSD, uses his music to examine his disappointment with veteran life. It is the only thing keeping him alive, he said. He refuses to attend counseling or visit his local VA hospital.

The use of music to heal war wounds is part of an emerging field of alternative treatment being embraced by military officials keen to help veterans suffering from PTSD. In Wisconsin, New Jersey, California and other states, government doctors in recent months have launched experimental music therapy programs that rely on the smoothing sounds of classical or acoustic music to help veterans get well.

But Dunson, now 26, isn’t listening to serene tunes in some silent room. His self-treatment is violent images and words, the gritty marriage of a genre born in low-income, black neighborhoods and the horrors of a foreign war.

He made five albums in four years, all focused on his training and service as an infantryman. Thousands of fans followed him on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, where he posts his songs. He enrolled in college, hoping to pursue a career in public service. This year, Dunson went into his first bachelor apartment.

And still, he describes himself as a man without happiness or friends.

“You are like, what the heck did I do to deserve this?” he said.

In his music, Dunson recalls pressing a gun against an enemy’s mouth, becoming an alcoholic and hitting his wife. He laments learning how to kill when he was only 20 years ancient.

“I’m back and forth in my head and I don’t know what’s incorrect,” he raps in “PTSD.” “At nights I shake. I feel like a weirder is in my home. Me and my wife can’t get along.”

On a different record, he confessed: “My mind ain’t been place to rest. And they wonder why all I talk about is these bullets and how a trigger of a gun I want to pull it and how terribly my military training I want to misuse it.”

In yet another song, Dunson expressed the words he would never tell his family: “Honestly, over there, I wish I had died.”

He was 18 when he enlisted, keen to make a difference and serve his country after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. He grew up in the Army, meeting the mother of his only child near his base in Alaska.

In Iraq, it was hard to sleep. Dunson said he worried he would wake up in an insurgent’s makeshift torture chamber.

There were plenty of signs he was drifting far from the excellent-natured child his family says he once was. One day, he and his fellow soldiers pretended to arrest an Iraqi boy. As the child cried, the soldiers taunted him, according to video Dunson took that day. Dunson said it was a joke.

His assault rifle became his life, he said. He held it while he ate and slept and fired toward crowds of Iraqis when he felt threatened. One day, he took his gun and place it to his friend’s head. They laughed and someone took a photo.

Through it all, Dunson worried about the man he was becoming. When his sergeant urged him to kill anything in sight one day, he balked. “This is crazy,” he recalled thinking.

The life he had left was gone. After serving in Iraq, Dunson came home to a tense relationship with his wife. She denied cheating on him, but later took their daughter and went in with another soldier.

Dunson plotted to kill them, convinced he could easily dispose of their bodies in the Alaskan wilderness. In less than a year, he was arrested four times for various domestic abuse charges, he said.

“I felt mad and out of control, like I don’t know what I might do mad,” he said.

He went to Las Vegas and stayed on his cousin’s couch. Though he had once been close with his family, Dunson stopped visiting or telephoning his other relatives, certain they were disappointed in him.

“I feel like they are saying, `Oh, he lost his wife, he is crazy. Oh, he went to war.’ Not saying it, but in their heads, they are saying it the whole time, like I don’t fit in,” he said.

The faces of the men he killed – the husbands, fathers and brothers – haunted him. Even after his ex-wife went their daughter to Las Vegas to be near him, her pleased Facebook musings about holiday celebrations and weekend activities upset him. On several occasions, he climbed to the roof of an empty condominium tower and stared at the concrete below, willing himself to jump.

LaTonya Williams, 30, said the changes in her once easygoing cousin are stark.

“He was never violent before,” she said. “He was the center of my family. Everyone loved him. He had the best jokes and the best sense of humor … and when he came back he was a completely different person. He’s not the Leo that everybody knew him to be.”

Dunson has a youthful face and a muscular body. When he speaks, he appears friendly and well-mannered, a sharp contrast to the rage in his music. He works as a security guard at night and then goes directly to class most mornings. On the weekends, he visits with his daughter.

Through his music, Dunson explored his desire to kill and die. He found a producer and director to make his albums and videos more professional. Soon, he was performing concerts at bases and veterans events.

“Music has always been my therapy,” he said.

Concetta Tomaino, executive director of the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function in New York, has used music to treat victims of dementia, trauma and gang violence. She said patients respond to music from their youth or more pleased days. Rap might help PTSD victims process the violence they experienced in conflict, she said.

“If a person has had a traumatic experience and can vent that in music, that can be very positive,” she said. “Anyone who deals with people in some trauma will tell you the most damaging thing to do is suppress it.”

Dunson said he hopes his music helps other veterans confront their PTSD, even as he struggles with it himself.

“I lost it all, not just my wife and daughter, but my mind,” he said. “If I had died over there, I would have got a 21-gun salute, everybody would praise me like I was a king. What do I get now?”

US election: ‘When your name is Barack Hussein Obama, getting elected is difficult’ —

Prejudice among some American voters will make it hard for President Barack Obama to win re-election, he has suggested.

The remarks were made on ABC’s The View

Questioned during a television interview how close he expected the result of November’s presidential election to be, Mr Obama said: “When your name is Barack Obama, it’s always tight”.

After a host noted that his full name was “Barack Hussein Obama,” he repeated this twice, stressing the middle name that has led conspiracy theorists to claim erroneously that he is secretly Muslim.

The remarks, made on ABC’s The View, appeared to be a rare admission by Mr Obama that four years after he became the first black US president, his ethnicity continues to repel some American voters.

Questioned “why do you say that now, after four years?” Mr Obama appeared to gather his thoughts and said: “I reckon it’s going to be tight because the fact of the matter is, the country has gone through a very hard time – the worst financial crisis, the worst economic crisis, since the 1930s.”

A White House spokesman declined to comment on whether Mr Obama had been referring to voter prejudice. A spokesman for Mr Obama’s re-election campaign did not return a request for comment.

A CBS News/New York Times poll on Tuesday indicated that Mitt Romney, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, had overtaken Mr Obama and now led by 46 per cent to 43. Last month the same poll place the pair in a dead heat.

The President covered several other topics on the programme, comparable to Britain’s ‘Loose Women’, whose hosts include the actress Whoopi Goldberg and the veteran broadcaster Barbara Walters.

He defended JP Morgan after its recent $2 billion trading loss, saying it was “one of the best managed banks there is” and that “Jamie Dimon, the head of it, is one of the smartest bankers we’ve got”.

Following his announcement that he now supports same-sex marriage, Mr Obama said Congress was “on notice” that he believed the Defence of Marriage Act, which allows states to ignore gay marriages carried out elsewhere, was unconstitutional. The remark raised hopes among liberal activists that Democrats may attempt to overturn the Act in a second Obama term.

Greece on brink of collapse —

Europe’s financial crisis lurched into a perilous new phase as dire predictions emerged of a collapse in Greece’s economy, with a run on its banks bringing an inevitable end to its membership of the euro.

Greece will be holding a new round of elections, having failed to agree on a coalition government after the inconclusive poll of 9 days ago

As leaders in Athens accepted the need for a new general election to end a national stalemate, the International Monetary Fund said Europe’s leaders should prepare for the possibility of a Greek departure from the single currency.

Christine Lagarde, head of the IMF, warned she was “technically prepared for anything” and said the utmost effort must be made to ensure any Greek exit was orderly. The effect was likely to be “quite messy” with risks to growth, trade and financial markets. “It is something that would be extremely expensive and would pose fantastic risks but it is part of options that we must technically consider,” she said.

Raising tensions still further, Germany warned Greek voters that the incorrect result in next month’s election will force their country out of the single currency.

Greece’s president warned, perhaps most alarmingly, that its banks risk running out of money, posing a “threat to our national existence”.

The escalating turmoil sharpened fears in financial markets, with European shares and the euro itself falling again. On the stock markets, the Eurostoxx 600 fell 0.7 per cent to a year-low; Germany’s Dax dropped 0.8 per cent and Spain’s Ibex was down 1.6 per cent. In London the FTSE100 slid 0.5 per cent. Following this month’s inconclusive election, Greek parties yesterday failed again to agree a new government. A new election, most likely to be held in mid-June, could see more gains for parties that want to reject the austerity measures that are a condition of international efforts to bail out the debt-crippled state.

Karolos Papoulias, the Greek president, warned party leaders that their continued failure to agree was risking “fatal consequences”. Citing a secret government document, he said Greeks were already pulling £80 million a day out of the country’s banks. Nearly €1 billion (£795 million) has been withdrawn since the last elections on May 6.

“The extension of political instability will lead to fatal consequences. The absence of government is a serious risk to the financial security of the Greek people and our national existence,” the president was reported as saying.

Mr Papoulias said he had been warned by the central bank and finance ministry that the country faced “the risk of a collapse of the banking system if withdrawals of deposits from banks continue due to the insecurity of the citizens generated by the political situation”.

Some economists have suggested that a euro exit could be done in an orderly way by closing Greek banks while the country prepares to reissue the drachma. Costas Simitis, a former prime minister, said that would spark panic, warning that Greeks would rush to withdraw money from banks. “If they close more than three days there will be a bank run,” he said. A report in Germany’s Wirtschaft Woche magazine forecast that a Greek bankruptcy and exit from the euro would cost the governments of the single currency’s 17 members £240 billion, pushing the eurozone and European economy into a crisis not seen since the 1930s.

François Hollande, the new French president who was sworn in today, was in Berlin hours after his inauguration for talks with Angela Merkel, the German chancellor.
In a joint press conference, Mr Hollande insisted that “everything must be place on the table” to help growth in Europe. The pair agreed that they wanted Greece within the euro. But. Mr Hollande added: “We have to allow Greece to find solutions.”

Adding yet more drama to the day, Mr Hollande was initially forced to turn back when his plane was struck by lightning after leaving Paris.

Wolfgang Schauble, the German finance minister, piled further pressure on Greek voters, warning that unless they deliver a government that honours the terms of the bail-out, he said, the country will have to leave the euro.

Attempts to form a government collapsed yesterday after the Left-wing Syriza party refused to work in any unity government that implements cuts required by the EU-IMF bail-out.

Alexis Tsipras, the leader of Syriza, said: “If it is not possible to reach a government formation, we believe that the judgment of the people and their verdict is not a national disaster.”

Evangelos Venizelos, the leader of the socialist Pasok party, attacked Mr Tsipras and other anti-austerity parties for “arrogance and adventurism”.

President Barack Obama has $1 million account with JP Morgan, personal wealth of up to $10 million —

US President Barack Obama has up to $1 million in a JPMorgan Chase checking account, and total assets of up to $10 million.

The remarks were made on ABC’s The View

The presidentﾒs financial disclosures for 2011, released by the White House, showed he has $500,000 to $1 million in a JPMorgan Chase private client asset management checking account.

The disclosure came as controversy deepened over the bank’s $2 billion dollar losses. The US Justice Department has opened an FBI probe into the trading loss, and embattled chief executive Jamie Dimon faced criticism at the company’s annual shareholders meeting in Tampa, Florida.

Mr Obama said this week that JPMorgan was “one of the best managed banks there is” despite the loss.

The White House said “neither the president nor the vice president have any conflicts of interest.”

A spokeswoman said: “This is a checking account used by the president and the first lady. It is the equivalent of an interest-bearing checking account available at many other financial institutions.” The account generated less than $201 in interest income in 2011.

The president’s 2011 disclosures also included a regular JPMorgan Chase checking account in the $1,000 to $15,000 range.

His other principal assets included $500,000 to $1 million in US Treasury bills and between $1 million and $5 million in US Treasury notes.

The assets appear to add up to anywhere between $2.6 million and $9.9 million.

Mr Obama also has a mortgage on his Chicago home of between $500,000 and $1 million.

In an appearance on the daytime TV show “The View,” which was taped on Monday, Mr Obama praised Mr Dimon and said the bankﾒs losses showed the need for tighter regulation.

He said Mr Dimon was “one of the smartest bankers we got and they still lost money.”

He said: ﾓThey still lost $2 billion dollars and counting precisely because they were making bets in these derivative markets. This is why we passed Wall Street reform.

“You could have a bank that isn’t as strong, isn’t as profitable making those same bets and we (the government) might have had to step in. That’s exactly why Wall Street reform’s so vital.ﾔ

Public figures in the US are required by law to publish their assets and investments to avoid conflicts of interest, and the White House releases disclosures for both Mr Obama and Vice President Joe Biden each year.

Most of Mr Obama’s personal wealth comes from book royalties, including from his best selling autobiography “Dreams From My Father.”

Mr Biden is significantly less wealthy with less than $1 million in assets and up to $1.5 million in liabilities, most of which is owed on his home.

Two men rob Internet cafe, forget to log out of Facebook prior to robbery —

As social networks have become more intertwined in our daily routines,some criminals just can’t resist logging into Facebook at the worst times.

As reported by the Colombian-based El Tiempo (Spanish publication), two armed men visited an Internet cafe in an area north of Cali, Colombia and started using two computers. After spending some time browsing the Web, both men went up to the cashier to pay for their usage time and assaulted the man before demanding all the money in the register. Both men escaped with all the money on a stolen motorcycle, but the Internet cafe administrator noticed that one man neglected to log out of his Facebook account prior to making the escape. When Colombian investigators arrived at the cafe, they used the information on his Facebook account to figure out his home address and subsequently made an arrest.

This isn’t the first time that a person committing a robbery has neglected to log out of Facebook before leaving their victim’s home or business. During August 2009, a teenager named Jonathan Parker broke into a Martinsburg, West Virginia home and stole two diamond rings from the homeowner.

Prior to making his escape, he sat down at the homeowner’s computer and checked up on his Facebook account. When he left the home, Parker’s Facebook account was still open in the laptop’s Web browser. Police quickly arrested Parker after reading information included on the Facebook page and charged him with one count of felony daytime burglary.

Photos uploaded to Facebook have also been the downfall of several criminals recently. During April 2012, a 20-year-ancient man named Michael Baker in Letcher County, Kentucky had his girlfriend take a photo of him while he siphoned gasoline out of a police cruiser and made an obscene gesture towards the camera. After Baker uploaded the picture to his Facebook page, it was quickly shared among the community and appeared before the eyes of the local police. The local authorities quickly arrested Baker for the theft and Baker got the privilege of spending a night in jail for the theft. After this incident, the local police are considering installing locking gas caps on all their cruisers.

In a similar tale during March 2012, a twenty-one-year-ancient man named Steven Mulhall was arrested on violation of probation charges after stealing Broward Circuit Judge Michael Orlando’s nameplate off an office door.

Police learned the theft after Mulhall posed with the nameplate for a picture and the picture was uploaded to Facebook by his girlfriend. While the cost of the nameplate was only $40, Mulhall now faces felony charges since he violated his parole based off his prior multiple convictions for petty theft.

Sometimes simply accepting a Facebook friend’s request can lead to jail time for a known thief. During December 2010, a Massachusetts man stopped at a gas station to fill up his car and managed to slip out of the station with a 27-inch flat screen television that he pried off the wall. The manager of the gas station used his photo from surveillance video and his name from the credit card receipts to track down the man’s Facebook profile. After the manager sent him a friend’s request and he accepted, the manager used all the photos on the thief’s account to verify his identity. This information was eventually turned over to the local police and an arrest shortly followed.
