Published Sep 22, 2009

Rod Hardy, the film-TV-digital media department's Green Chair Lecturer, postponed his visit to the university this week to Oct. 6-9 because he fell ill, a representative for the FTDM department said.

Medical mistakes happen, shouldn't be used as evidence for reform

Medical mistakes happen, shouldn’t be used as evidence for reform

Published Sep 22, 2009

As if doctors and insurance companies didn't have enough to worry about with the current health care debate, a new controversy has come to the surface.

For some reason, doctors have been elevated to an infallible status. Patients expect their doctors to know what's wrong, how to cure it and how long it will take. So unfortunately, lawsuits abound in medicine when doctors make "medical mistakes." Apparently, doctors are supposed to be perfect, too.



According to a Hearst Newspapers report, almost 200,000 people die a year due to medical mistakes.

Frogs need to come together for Clemson

Published Sep 22, 2009

Let me start off by saying Texas State is a good offensive team. There is no doubt about that. But on several occasions, this "lowly" FCS team made the mighty Frogs' defensive secondary look just plain silly. What was, despite what any coach will say, scheduled as a tune up game for Clemson turned out to be quite the challenge for the Frogs.

The Frogs' secondary better step up and make the adjustments needed for good coverage, or TCU doesn't stand a chance against a good Tiger offense this Saturday.
