A complainant alleged that a patient could not move his lower extremities after the insertion of an epidural catheter (small hollow tube used to inject anesthetic between the spinal canal and spinal cord). The complainant believed that the catheter caused the patient’s paralysis. We did not substantiate the allegation. However, we found that the patient’s paralysis may have resulted from a prolonged period of hypotension (low blood pressure) in the intensive care unit (ICU). We concluded that the hypotension was poorly monitored and should have been treated more aggressively. During our review, we found that ICU nursing staff did not document required patient assessments. There was no documentation of the mean arterial pressures needed to adjust medications prescribed for low blood pressure, no documentation of the epidural catheter or of neurological assessments, and inconsistent documentation of verbal orders and administered medications. In addition, we found that the medical center’s system of reporting and evaluating adverse events needed improvement.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

HATCH GOVERNOR SECRETARY ~tate of JLoutstana DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY January 22, 2015 The Honorable Gina McCarthy Administrator Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave, N.W. Washington, DC 20460 Dear Administrator McCarthy: First and foremost, I write to express my continued dissatisfaction with how the EPA Region 6 is handling its responsibilities in the disposal of munitions at Camp Minden. On January 16, 2015, I asked that you intervene to ensure the safe disposal of munitions at Camp Minden and requested a conference call for this week to discuss the very important matter. I am disheaiiened that I have yet to hear from you. As you may know, the U.S. Army has agreed to meet with agency officials from the State of Louisiana next week regarding the disposal of M6 at Camp Minden. The purpose of this meeting, which the Army has indicated is contingent on the EPA's participation and the specific attendance of the EPA' s Dr. Brian Gullett, is to allow the federal government to demonstrate why it chose the open burn tray method for disposal of munitions at Camp Minden. We urge you to confirm EPA' s participation as outlined above by close of business January 23 , 2015. Separately, I request that the EPA make available to the State all data and information at its disposal regarding the open burn tray method by January 28, 2015. This data and information includes, but is not limited to: •Sites in the U.S. where open burn tray disposal has/is being used and for what purposes

It's even emerged as an issue in the presidential race, with Hillary Clinton expressing support for the bill and Tim Kaine (D-Va.), her running mate, co-sponsoring it in the Senate. The dispute has its roots in 1946, when, in response to a massive coal "I thought my strike, the Truman administration nationalized the mines.
