| - Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -fact is that there is no cover-up regarding asbestos. In the 1980s, under AHERA, schools nationwide removed tons of it. Construction companies were forced to perform abatement before renovations or demolition. There is no doubt that there are very sick people with asbestosis and mesothelioma who were exposed to asbestos. I meet several of them every month and can usually find some documentation of their possible exposure so they can recevie WC benefits. Backj in the 1950s and 1960s, there was no idea that asbestos exposure could be so dangerous. During WWII boat builders at the Navy Yards were routinely exposed to it, brought the dust home, and exposed their families. No one knew. When I was in elementary school, I received a kit from a group in Canada, where asbestos was mined, called "Asbestos-The Magic Mineral." I brought it to school for a science project. No one knew. Anyone claiming that there was a cover-up . |

| Gunisha Singh is a 46 year old Indian female with no significant past medical history who presents for evaluation of a newly diagnosed right-sided pleural malignant mesothelioma. Mrs. Singh was in her usual excellent state of health until approximately January 1996 when she noticed the onset of right neck, arm, and shoulder discomfort gradually increasing in intensity. This was often accompanied by a burning sensation in the distal arm and fingers on the right side. At that time she was living in Hong Kong and was evaluated by a neurosurgeon who felt that her symptoms were consistent with two herniated cervical discs. The patient then came to the U.S. for evaluation by a neurosurgeon at the University of California in San Francisco who felt that she had cervical spondylosis with herniated discs without evidence of frank neurological impairment. At this time, her primary intervention was manipulation of pain to control her symptoms. &nbs. |
