A 47-year-old Concord man recently died from the disease after receiving an injection at John Muir Medical Center. Thee others have been hospitalized with the non-contagious disease. An elderly man who received similar injections also died of meningitis, though it is not clear if that death was related to the contaminated batch of shots. About 20 patients received the injections into their spines, Contra Costa County investigators said. They said workers at Doc's Pharmacy & Home Health Care Center in Walnut Creek somehow infected the shots before sending them out for use by health workers. -- Best Wishes If you're a politician, bureaucrat, or cop whose livelihood depends on the drug war, you're fully as contemptible as any pusher, smuggler, or cocaine baron -- more so, because, unlike them, you profit directly by destroying what was once the greatest freedom ever known to humankind. - Mirelle Stein, _The Productive Class_ <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
