Virginia Birth Injury Program Seeks Funding

          The funding for a state-sponsored birth injury program in Virginia is being debated in the state legislature. The Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program provides money to families whose children suffered debilitating injuries at birth from causes such as lack of oxygen to pay for doctor visits, therapy, walkers, and other expenses involved with caring for a handicapped child. The program has recently started running out of the funds that it was allotted almost 20 years ago. The main reason legislators say the original funding has run out so soon is that everyone underestimated how long children on the program would live. Back then, a child who could not eat, talk, or sit up on his or her own was lucky to live to age 5. Today, the oldest child in the Virginia program is almost 20, thanks to improvements in the medical field. The Evil of Frankenstein download Blondie Johnson dvdrip A…

The study attempts to explain the rising number of birth defects in specific regions of Texas.

The study did not solidify direct proof that environmental hazards cause birth defects, but it was noted that birth defects were higher near hazard sites.

Clay full movie A Good Woman ipod I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer hd A 16-year-old boy in Florida was awarded over $30 million in a birth injury lawsuit on April 7th.
