  Lethal Injection: The medical technology of execution + correction - Amnesty International   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Medical participation in executions in the USA nevertheless continues and has led to a conflict between professional ethics and the law in at least one state (Illinois) where doctors are mandated by state law to breach their state medical society's code of medical ethics.
The dominance of lethal injection as a method of execution, as well as the growing pace of executions, are strikingly illustrated by comparing the first 35 executions after the death penalty moratorium ended in 1977 with the 35 executions up to 30 September 1997 (the last 35 executions in the period covered by this report).
The medical profession should continue to press its argument that it is not the role of the medical personnel to participate in the state-ordered killing of an individual, irrespective of the crime for which that individual was convicted and sentenced to death.

 Lethal Injection: A Stain on the Face of Medicine -- Dr. Jonathon I. Groner -- British Medical Journal
Lethal injection was conceived by Dr Stanley Deutschan anaesthesiologist at the University of Oklahoma to simulate a medical procedure: the intravenous induction of general anaesthesia.
Medical skills are needed to start intravenous lines, set up intravenous infusion sets, and measure out and administer the appropriate drugs.
Doctors' involvement in lethal injection (or any execution) creates a profound conflict of roles that is morally unacceptable.16 When doctors enter the death chamber, they harm not only their relationship with their own patients but the relationships of all doctors with their patients.

There does exist in both the medical and massage field a lot of confusion regarding pressure points, trigger points, tender points, fibromyalgia sites and neuro lympathic points, as well as, many other types of points as named by various physicians and therapists over the years, all claiming to be different kinds of points.
Medical physicians, who are not trained medical massage or medical manual therapists, and who lack the thousands of hours of soft tissue palpation and therapy skills of the manual therapist, in other words the highly educated touch that massage therapists master, seek to develop expensive diagnostic and treatment procedures.
Medical physicians do not earn their living by providing massage therapy, but by ordering or conducting tests, by delivering injection procedures, or prescribing medications.

 Injection (medicine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An injection is a method of putting liquid into the body with a hollow needle and a syringe which is pierced through the skin long enough for the material to be forced into the body.
An injection follows a parenteral route of administration, that is, its effect is not necessarily local to the area in which the injection is administered; it is systematic.
Subcutaneous injections are highly effective in administering such medications as insulin or goserelin.

He was seen again one week later, reporting that he felt no pain in the elbow after the treatment, and it was not until he mowed the lawn and did some remodeling work around his house over the weekend, that some soreness in the elbow returned.
The effectiveness of treatment, either with injection, medication or physical therapy, can be measured by the subjective scales evaluating degree of pain, tightness, numbness.
Short of a double blind study, which in medical acupuncture is technically impossible, a study such as outlined above may provide sufficient evidence of treatment effectiveness for most practitioners willing to expand their therapeutic possibilities for common musculo-skeletal disorders.

 Men with enlarged prostate can benefit from Botox injection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
When researchers at the Chang Gung University Medical College, Taiwan and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine injected botulinum toxin A, or Botox, into the prostate gland of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition commonly referred to as enlarged prostate, they found that it eased symptoms and improved quality of life.
Their results, based on 41 men with the condition, will be presented at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA) in Atlanta and published in abstract 1436 in the AUA proceedings.
Four out of five patients, or 80 percent, were able to completely empty their bladders within a week to one month after the injection, as the Botox caused the prostate gland to relax, putting less pressure on the urethra.

Complications, side-effects and post-operative care are then the responsibility of the medical care system in the patient's home country.
Most of the countries that offer medical tourism have weak malpractice laws, so the patient has little recourse to local courts or medical boards if something goes wrong.

The World Health Organization (WHO) calls unsafe injection practices the “plague of many health systems.” It estimates that every year the reuse of contaminated needles and syringes causes at least 1.3 million preventable deaths, a loss of 26 million years of life, and an annual burden of $535 million in direct medical costs.
Injections per capita are dramatically higher in developing countries than in industrialized nations.
The extraordinary medical burden from hepatitis and HIV alone, means “that each unsafe injection costs governments between three and five times the extra cost of auto-disable syringes, not to mention the toll in human suffering,” says British health official Dr. Sobhan Sarkar.
