Caroline McElhaney, 52, was killed in a San Diego car accident after her vehicle was rear-ended by another driver changing lanes on the 15 Freeway in Escondido. According to a 10news report, a southbound 1999 Dodge Ram changed lanes near Ninth Street, the morning of August 9, 2010, and could not avoid rear-ending McElhaney’s Mercedes-Benz, which was stopped for traffic ahead.

The impact from the collision forced the 2001 Mercedes into the back of a Toyota Avalon, which in turn collided with a Toyota Sienna. McElhaney was transported to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead. The drivers of the Avalon and the Sienna, as well as a passenger in the Sienna, all suffered minor injuries. Jackson Redmond, a 28-year-old Colton resident, who was driving the Dodge Ram, was not injured in the crash.

A commonly misdiagnosed form of breast cancer is Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS). More than 50,000 women are diagnosed with this disease each year. Not all of the women diagnosed need to be treated, but suffer through treatment anyway on the advice of their inexperienced pathologist.

Medical exams such as CT scans are as common as blood tests these days and not very many people worry about the test itself giving them a medical problem. Unfortunately, this has been the case, when patients have actually lost their hair after this routine test. Apparently, the CT scanner was putting out much more radiation than was the correct amount for a simple test.
