#Perth Princess Margaret Hospital contamination scare as ‘visible dust’ found in theatre prep area

Princess Margaret Hospital for Children (PMH) in Perth has been hit with a contamination scare following the discovery of dust-coated surgical instrument trays in the theatre preparation area.

The newly appointed chief executive of WA’s Child and Adolescent Health Service, Robyn Lawrence, has written to colleagues saying the hospital has contacted the families of 370 patients to alert them to the issue.

They include patients who had “relevant implant surgery” at PMH between May 31 last year and June 1 this year.

“In recent weeks, PMH has identified five surgical instrument trays in the theatre preparation area which contained visible dust,” Dr Lawrence wrote.

“Following the identification of the contaminated trays a review of post-operative infection rates and re-admission rates for the past 18 months has taken place…

First Takata airbag death in Australia

The first Australian death linked to faulty Takata airbags has been recorded in Sydney after a 58-year-old man was killed in a collision at Cabramatta.

The man died on July 13 when his Honda CRV slammed into another vehicle at an intersection in Sydney’s southwest.

NSW Police on Friday said a faulty airbag was likely to blame with the driver “struck in the neck by a small fragment”.

“Further investigations revealed the vehicle in the incident was subject of a worldwide recall for a faulty airbag,” they said in a statement.

The female passenger, along with the male driver and passenger of the other car, were treated by paramedics in Cabramatta before being taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Dodgy Takata airbags have previously been linked to 17 deaths globally.

The Japanese manufacturer has filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States and Japan.

The company faces tens of billions of dollars in costs and liabilities resulting from almost a decade of recalls and lawsuits

Prior to last week’s incident, there had not been any fatalities involving Takata airbags in Australia.

However, in late April a 21-year-old Northern Territory woman suffered serious injuries when one of the faulty airbags didn’t deploy properly during a crash in Darwin.

She was struck in the head by a small metal fragment, NT Police said at the time.

“This type of crash, in normal circumstances, would not have caused this level of injury,” Sergeant Mark Casey said.

The recall covers approximately 100 million vehicles worldwide and 2.1 million in Australia.

Police in both NSW and the NT have urged motorists to check the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s product safety website, and to act as soon as possible if their vehicle is included in the recall.

Jack Warner fuels tension between female stars on ‘Feud’ Bette And Joan.

Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were manipulated by studio bosses who pit the aging stars against each other during Sunday’s episode of Feud: Bette And Joan.

Studio boss Jack Warner, played by Stanley Tucci, was so thrilled at the on-set hatred of the women that he encouraged director Robert Aldrich to leak gossip to the press and play the Hollywood legends off against each other.

‘The more that they despise each other, the more that each one tries to crush the other one the better they get,’ Warner told him as he urged Aldrich, played by Alfred Molina, to ramp up the hatred between the stars.
