A federal judge blasted UnitedHealthcare last month for its "immoral and barbaric" denials of treatment for cancer patients. He made the comments in recusing himself from hearing a class-action lawsuit because of his own cancer battle — and in so doing thrust himself into a heated debate in the oncology world.At issue is a treatment known as proton beam therapy, an expensive alternative to standard radiation that proponents say is a more precise form of treatment with fewer side effects. Opponents have questioned whether proton therapy is worth the high cost to fight some forms of cancer, and insurance companies have often denied coverage for the treatment, calling it "experimental."The case that came before US District Judge Robert N. Scola was brought by a prostate cancer survivor who alleged that UnitedHealthcare wrongfully denied him and thousands of others coverage of proton beam therapy.In his recusal, Scola cited his own battle with prostate cancer and how he consulted "with top medical experts around the country" about treatment options. Scola said that he ultimately opted for surgery but that "all the experts opined that if I opted for radiation treatment, proton radiation was by far the wiser course of action."The judge also cited a friend who was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and got hit with a 0,000 bill after UnitedHealthcare refused to pay for his proton beam radiation from MD Anderson Cancer Center. "Only upon threat of litigation did UnitedHealthcare agree to reimburse him," Scola wrote."It is undisputed among legitimate medical experts that proton radiation therapy is not experimental and causes much less collateral damage than traditional radiation," wrote Scola, a US District Court judge for the Southern District of Florida. "To deny a patient this treatment, if it is available, is immoral and barbaric."UnitedHealthcare declined to comment about the remarks. Instead, the insurer noted that it 1960

....productive talks, I will be delaying the U.S. increase in tariffs now scheduled for March 1. Assuming both sides make additional progress, we will be planning a Summit for President Xi and myself, at Mar-a-Lago, to conclude an agreement. A very good weekend for U.S. & China!— Donald J.

A 14-hour Congressional hearing ended around 11:20 p.m. on Thursday as Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler shocked his Republican colleagues by not calling for a vote on articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Nadler instead announced at the end of the hearing that he would reconvene the committee at 10 a.m. on Friday. The Republicans' ranking member on the committee, Rep. Doug Collins, called the move a "kangaroo court," as other GOP members compared Nadler to Joseph Stalin. Collins told CNN that the move to delay the vote was “the must bush league stunt I’ve ever seen in my entire life.”The hearing came to an end after the Republicans put forth five amendments to the Democrats' impeachment resolution. All five resolutions came with a round of comments by the entire committee. All five of the GOP resolutions were voted down by party-line votes. 879

A disgruntled employee who killed 12 people in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was a certified professional engineer for the city.The man was identified as DeWayne Craddock, 40, according to a law enforcement official and a Virginia government source. He walked into the city building Friday afternoon and opened fire, killing a dozen people and wounding four others, police said.Four officers who responded to the scene followed the sound of his gunshots and engaged him in a "long gunbattle," police Chief James Cervera said. He suffered injuries during a gunfight with officers and died shortly afterward, Cervera said.Authorities are still investigating a motive.Gunman worked on road projectsCraddock, 40, was a certified professional engineer for the city of Virginia Beach in the public utilities department. He is listed on department news releases as a point of contact for information on local road projects over the past several years.Craddock's parents, reached by phone Friday evening, told CNN that they weren't aware their son had been involved in the shooting and that law enforcement hadn't contacted them.They confirmed their son worked for Virginia Beach's public utilities department but said they weren't aware of any trouble he was having with this employer.A search of online court records in Virginia Beach and surrounding counties shows Craddock was cited for a motor vehicle infraction in 2013 but nothing else.According to a 1996 news report, he served in the Army National Guard as a private after attending a high school in Newport News.He kept to himself, neighbor saysA neighbor of Craddock's told CNN affiliate WAVY that the gunman kept to himself and was always in and out of his apartment with a book bag.Cassetty Howerin, 23, lived below Craddock and said he was awake during all hours of the night."You heard him walking around; he would drop stuff at like 2 a.m., and me and my roommate would try to figure out what he was doing," Howerin said.His neighbors said they rarely saw him.He didn't engage in much talk, Howerin said, adding "in the year I've been there, we've maybe had three conversations and that's about it.""I know what gym he goes to. That's about it."He would just go in and out, the neighbor said. By the time Howerin would wake up and leave at 7 a.m., he was gone."I never saw him take trash out, never saw him bring groceries in, never saw people coming in or out," the neighbor said. "He was very to himself."Howerin said they are petrified. "I live right under him, so that could have easily been me or my girlfriend or my roommate," Howerin said.Despite their few conversations, he "seemed like a nice guy," Howerin said. "He introduced himself when we first moved in. That's just crazy."Craddock looked like a "jacked guy, he stood maybe 6 foot and he always carried a book bag with him. That's all I really know," Howerin said. 2896

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – If COVID-19 cases spike this fall, hospitals want to make sure they have enough ventilators. But that's only one part of the equation. They'll also need more trained staff to help operate the complex machines. "When governors have been asking for tens of thousands of ventilators, that's great, but there's only a finite group of people that are skilled and trained and authorized to use those ventilators," said Jim Archetto, Vice President of Gaumard Scientific. The machines help patients breathe, pumping oxygen into their bodies. "But what's critically important is how you control that pressure. If you pump too much pressure into a patient, your lungs will explode," explains Archetto. The stakes couldn't be higher, so hospitals are now working on training more staff members to help operate the devices. That's where Gaumard comes into play; their lifelike robots simulate not only medical emergencies but also emotions. "We'd really rather have these nurses and docs practice on a simulator before they're working on a live patient in a critical care situation," said Archetto. Pediatric Hal is a 5-year-old patient simulator who can breathe, bleed, move, cry, and talk. "He can actually be plugged into a real ventilator, and that ventilator can take control of his breathing functions," said Archetto. Companies like Gaumard have seen a spike in demand for this specialized training. Archetto says they've received calls from medical schools, hospitals, and even manufacturing companies needing to test their new ventilators. With in-person training on hold, Gaumard is using Zoom to train professionals virtually on how to use their simulators. "I can provide whatever symptoms I'd like for him to mimic, for COVID, or anything for that matter," said Archetto. Lincoln Healthcare, located just outside of Philadelphia, had already developed a program using Hal to train their at-home nurses on how to operate ventilators. "We really wanted to make sure our nurses were armored with the best training, the best emergency preparedness that could arise in the home," said Autumn Lincoln, vice president and co-founder of Lincoln Healthcare. When the pandemic hit, they opened up the 2232
