Iv’e just seen Corey Powell’s opinions on the crop circles that have been apearing all around the world and i have to say that Corey is an idiot who know’s nothing about what is going on. On a news broadcast he looked unsure, undecided and just plain lost as he stutered his way thru a half ass explaination about the subject, mentioning some group that confessed to have done it years ago. That shows you the lack of information he has regarding this issue. Just because he say’s that this is a trick done by nerds does not prove that he’s right. The day he goes out there with a camera and provides proof of what he say’s is true will be the day that i beleive him, other wise he should keep his unfounded opinions to himself. In my view he’s just another one of those wannabe science guys that think they know it all, think about it, the earth and its secrets have been around for millions of years and Corey has not even been here for a fraction of that time,that’s how much he knows.

Dear Corey,

Here’s a little known medical technology on the Safety Sponge, which didn’t go thru in my email of

May 30, 2009.

SUGGESTED STORY ON THE SAFETY SPONGE TECHNOLOGY. If you can’t use it would you

please forward to the appropriate person for further review.

 Facing surgery?  The !st question should be to check if the hospital uses the newest technology.

Surgicount Medical is a wholly owned subsidiary of PATIENT SAFETY TECHNOLOGY (PSTX).  This company has a solution to PREVENTING A SPONGE FROM BEING LEFT INSIDE A PATIENT DURING SURGERY.

RETAINED SPONGES HAPPEN TO A PATIENT IN 1 OUT OF 5 OR 6,000 SURGERIES.  This new technology cuts out the costs of lawsuits to Doctors and Hospitals, but most importantly the pain and suffering due to NO sponge left behind in surgery.  This preventable event is changing the way sponges are counted during surgery.  Surgicount’s BARCODED SPONGES HAVE BEEN USED IN OVER 300,000 OPERATIONS (6 MILLION SPONGES) WITHOUT INCIDENCE.

ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, SOME OF THE TOP TEACHING HOSPITALS  HAVE TESTED AND VALIDATED THE SAFETY SPONGE WITHOUT INCIDENCE.  THE REAL BONUS HERE IS – MACHINES DON’T GET TIRED – DON’T GO ON LUNCH BREAKS – DON’T TAKE TELEPHONE CALLS – DON’T LOSE THEIR ATTENTION SPAN DURING THE OPERATIVE PROCEDURE.  NURSES STILL COUNT THE SPONGES  B U T  THE SAFETY SPONGE TECHNOLOGY IS ALSO COUNTING THE SPONGES.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

Dr Atul Gawande, of Harvard & Brigham & Womens, has published a study on retained sponges and the solution available.

Hope this information will prevent sponges from being left behind in surgery.  The cost for this new technology is no more than $10 to $15. 00 per procedure, and as I said above eliminates pain and suffering and lawsuits from the retained sponge.

Thank you and Most Sincerely,
