Winter Heart Attacks
>https://archive.ph/jspBB#selection-403.0-407.563
Posted for the record, in anticipation of the media attempting to explain away the unprecedented number of heart attacks this winter as being “in the normal, because people are shoveling snow”.
As winter arrives, it’s worth noting that each year about 11,500 people in the United States are treated in emergency rooms for injuries related to snow shoveling. On average, 100 of those injuries are fatal, generally heart attacks. The data, compiled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and analyzed a few years ago by the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Ohio, indicates that soft tissue injuries are the most common (55 percent), followed by lacerations (16 percent), fractures (7 percent) and heart-related injuries (7 percent). In the 17-year span of the data, however, cardiovascular injuries accounted for half of the hospitalizations and 100 percent of the fatalities.
And obviously, the number of fatalities related to snow shoveling should be on the low side, due to all that global warming of which we hear so much.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – About 20 years ago, pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp wrote a parent guide, The Happiest Baby on the Block. In it, he shared his belief that one of the most important things for new parents to understand was a pretty unknown idea called the fourth trimester. Today, that obscure name has so thoroughly penetrated the minds of parents and doctors that the celebrated Merriam-Webster dictionary has included it in their newest edition. Inclusion in the dictionary acknowledges that fourth trimester is a part of a worldwide cultural awakening to the importance of this stage of life…not only for babies but for new parents, too.
What is the fourth trimester?
The fourth trimester is the first three to four months of a baby's life after birth. The word "trimester" implies that the baby is still a fetus…and that's on purpose! A newborn's brain and nervous system are not fully developed at birth, making them more fetus-like than baby-like.
Where did the term "fourth trimester" come from?
Dr. Karp first heard the term in the late 1970s when he was working on the child abuse team at UCLA. At that time, he saw so many babies come in who were severely injured—even killed—for the simple offense of crying. He became deeply curious about what medical doctors had not been able to figure out—the cause of colic (severe persistent crying seen among babies 1-4 months of age).
He found that, thanks to evolutionary changes, human babies are born about three months before they're technically "ready." In fact, they had to be born three months early because a baby's developing brain and skull have gotten so big by the end of the third trimester that they can barely safely fit through the birth canal.
When did the "fourth trimester" become well-known?
In 2002 Karp used The Happiest Baby on the Block to share what he had learned from his research and in his practice as a pediatrician. He discovered that parents could best create that womb-like fourth trimester experience for their babies with what he called "The 5 S's," which consists of swaddling, shushing, swaying, sucking, and holding babies in a side/stomach position (for soothing, not for sleep). In the book, he explained how the 5 S's help trigger a baby's calming reflex—a never-before recognized neurological response that develops deep in a baby's brain months before they are born—basically nature's "off switch" for fussing.
Since then, millions and millions of parents across the globe have turned to the 5 S's to calm crying! So, while he did not coin the term "fourth trimester," Karp's book helped to bring the notion of the fourth trimester into the consciousness of parents and physicians alike.
What do parents need to know about their baby's fourth trimester?
It's important to create a womb-like environment during a newborn's fourth trimester. For instance, swaddling mimics the warm hug inside the womb, white noise stands in for the constant loud whooshing of blood pulsing through the uterine arteries, and swinging replicates the jiggling sensation of being inside Mom's belly for every step she took. These are three of the 5 S's…and they're also the cornerstone of SNOO, the #1 safe baby bassinet created by Karp. SNOO was specially designed to provide the fourth-trimester care that babies need by automatically responding to fussing with womb-like rocking, white noise, and the snug embrace of a safe swaddle.
Acknowledging this special period in a family's life is a good first step. Karp is hopeful that it will help push more innovative solutions that will allow new parents and their babies to thrive in the fourth trimester…and beyond!
Dr. Harvey Karp is a world-renowned pediatrician and child development expert. His celebrated Happiest Baby/Happiest Toddler books and videos have guided millions of parents and are translated into 30 languages. In 2016, Dr. Karp debuted SNOO Smart Sleeper, a new class of responsive infant bed designed to add 1-2 hours to a baby's sleep, quickly soothe crying and to improve safety by preventing dangerous rolling. SNOO won the National Sleep Foundation Innovation of the Year award as well as 20 other top national and international honors. Medical studies are underway to evaluate SNOO's potential to reduce postpartum depression, infant sleep death and to improve the care of infants withdrawing from opiates.

Career
From 1982 to 1984 Karp practiced pediatrics with pediatrician Paul Fleiss in Los Angeles, California.[3] He then opened his own practice in Santa Monica, where he continued to see patients until 2005. He was assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at the UCLA School of Medicine[4] from 1989 to 2009, where he served as pediatric liaison to the Child Abuse Team.[5] He appeared as a regular contributor to the Lifetime cable television show Growing Up Together from 1990 to 1992.[6] In 2009, he became an assistant professor of pediatrics at the USC Keck School of Medicine.
Karp is a founding board member of Healthy Child Healthy World, and has served on the advisory boards of the Green Guide, Babycenter.com, Parents, Ser Padres, and American Baby magazines.[1]
Infant calming and sleep technique
Karp's infant calming technique is supposed to be based on recreating the essential elements of the experience of living in the womb. Human babies, according to Karp, are born less developed than other mammals. Karp calls the first three months of life the "fourth trimester."[7] Karp hypothesizes that all babies are born with a "calming reflex" that quickly relaxes most fussy babies when they are stimulated in a way that resemble sensations that babies experience in the womb.[8] Karp calls the ingredients of his method for soothing young babies the "5 S's": tight swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging and sucking.[9]
Regarding sleep, Karp recommends nightly swaddling and sound and motion sleep cues to help babies establish a circadian rhythm and to promote infant sleep.[10]
Ralph Frenken has argued against Karp's recommendation of the use of tight swaddling and the concept of a "calming reflex." The criticism is that the effect of swaddling is not based on reflexes because (1) a releasing stimulus is missing, because swaddling most probably works by the decrease of proprioceptive and tactile stimulation and (2) the reflex response is missing, because any reflex always consists of a movement released by muscles.[11] The child does not move but falls asleep by swaddling. Additionally, no known reflex alters the state of consciousness, but swaddling obviously does. Lactation and breastfeeding expert, Nancy Mohrbacher, collected several scientific studies which demonstrated negative aspects of swaddling on newborn infants.[12]
In 2010, researchers studied the effects of video instruction concerning swaddling, side positioning, white noise, jiggling, and sucking on parents' ability to calm fussing babies. The results against a control group were statistically insignificant compared to traditional methods.[13]
Criticism
CBS news reports that "Critics say Karp is riding to fame on the strength of his patients' VIP parents, who include Michelle Pfeiffer, Pierce Brosnan and Madonna. Endorsements from several stars appear on his book jacket and video cover."[14]
Karp explicitly warns parents not to leave babies in this position.[15]

Paul Murray Fleiss (September 8, 1933 – July 19, 2014) was an American pediatrician and author known for his unconventional medical views.[1] Fleiss was a popular and sought-after pediatrician in the Greater Los Angeles area, both among poor and middle-class patients living near his Los Feliz office and among Southern California celebrities.[2] Fleiss was a breastfeeding and anti-circumcision advocate. He recommended but did not insist upon childhood vaccinations, and stated he could be "convinced either way" as to whether HIV causes AIDS.[1] In 1994, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy and bank fraud in relation to his daughter Heidi's prostitution ring.[3]

History
Fleiss initially trained as a pharmacist and osteopath.[4] He relocated from Detroit to California to take advantage of 1962 legislation allowing an osteopath to convert his degree to an MD.[2] He earned his B.S. in pharmacy from Wayne State University, his D.O. from the University of California, Irvine, and his M.P.H. from UCLA.
Fleiss was the father of "Hollywood madam" Heidi Fleiss. In 1995, he pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and bank fraud. He helped Heidi launder hundreds of thousands of dollars by lying on her loan application and falsely claiming that she was an employee of his medical practice. He was sentenced to one day in prison, three years' probation, 625 hours of community service and a $50,000 fine.[5] Following the felony convictions, the Medical Board of California placed him on probation for 1 year and publicly reprimanded him for "unprofessional conduct" and "dishonesty".[6]
Heidi Fleiss was the subject of a 1996 made-for-TV movie entitled The Good Doctor: The Paul Fleiss Story, in which Paul Fleiss (played by Michael Gross) was portrayed sympathetically, as the victim of his daughter Heidi's machinations. The New York Times noted that "the sweeping inaccuracies in 'The Good Doctor: The Paul Fleiss Story' evidently didn't hurt its ratings", and the film was subsequently retitled The Making of a Hollywood Madam, and shown on cable television.[7]
Personal life
Fleiss was married to Elissa Ash until their divorce.[8] He had four daughters, Heidi, Amy, Shana, and Kim, and two sons, Jesse and Jason, the latter of whom predeceased his father.[8]
Paul Fleiss died July 19, 2014, aged 80, in Los Angeles, from undisclosed causes.[8]
Medical views and opinions
Fleiss was known for his unconventional medical views.[1] He was a proponent of the "family bed".[9] While he recommended that his patients receive vaccines, he did not insist upon it.[6] He was quoted by the Los Angeles Times as stating that he 'could be "convinced either way" on whether HIV causes AIDS'.[1] Fleiss was a breastfeeding advocate and anti-circumcision activist, or intactivist.[2][6] He was the author or co-author of three books: Sweet Dreams (2001), Your Premature Baby Comes Home with Juliette M. Alsobrooks (2006), and What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about Circumcision with Frederick M. Hodges (2003).
Pediatric practice
Fleiss was described in the Los Angeles Times as "everyone's favorite baby doctor" and having been "one of Southern California's most sought-after physicians" for thirty years.[2] Sometimes described in the media as a "pediatrician to the stars",[10] he counted numerous celebrities or their children among his patients.
In 2005, Fleiss was investigated for his role in the death, from untreated AIDS, of Eliza Jane Scovill, the daughter of AIDS denialist Christine Maggiore, who was HIV-positive.[1] Against standard medical practice, Scovill was never tested for HIV, and Fleiss was investigated by the Medical Board of California for gross negligence in her care as well as in the care of a second child who was also HIV-positive.[6][11]
After receiving over 100 letters of support for Fleiss from patients and parents, the medical board reached a settlement in which Fleiss conceded a failure to maintain adequate medical records and agreed to regular review by an outside physician acting as a monitor.[6][12][13]

Heidi Lynne Fleiss (born December 30, 1965)[1] is an American former madam. She ran an upscale prostitution ring based in Los Angeles, California, and is often referred to as the "Hollywood Madam". Fleiss is also a columnist and was a television personality regularly featured in the 1990s in American media.
Fleiss currently[when?] resides in Pahrump, Nevada.

Early life
Fleiss was born and raised in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Her parents, Paul M. Fleiss (1933–2014), a Jewish American pediatrician,[2][3] and Elissa (née Ash), divorced.[4][5] She has a brother, Jesse, and had another brother, Jason, who drowned on December 28, 2009, at the age of 41 off the coast of Hawaii.[citation needed] She also has three sisters, Amy, Kim, and Shana,[4] the last of whom is the youngest sister.[6]
Work in prostitution and criminal charges
At the age of 22, Fleiss began managing a prostitution ring under Madam Alex after meeting her in 1987 via Fleiss's film-director boyfriend Ivan Nagy. Fleiss stated in 2002 that Alex and herself had "a very intense relationship" and that she "was kind of like the daughter she loved and hated, so she was abusive and loving at the same time." In the same interview, Fleiss said she worked as a prostitute for a short period to learn all aspects of the occupation. At the time, she was learning to take over Alex's business, there was a labor shortage as most of Alex's prostitutes were approaching middle age and setting their sights on retiring from prostitution. Alex tasked Heidi with revitalizing the business by recruiting a new batch of young, attractive women.[7]
By 1990, Fleiss severed her links with Madam Alex and began her own prostitution ring. Fleiss has stated that she made her "first million [dollars] after only four months in the business" as a madam, and that on her slowest night, she made $10,000.[8] By 1991, she was so successful that she was able to reject women who wished to work for her. In June 1993, she was arrested for multiple charges, including attempted pandering.
Federal charges were filed in 1994, and Fleiss posted $1,000,000 bail. The state trial began the same year and Fleiss was convicted. In May 1996, her state conviction was overturned, and her appeal bond was set at $200,000.[9] She was convicted of federal charges of tax evasion in September 1996 and sentenced to seven years in prison.[10] Fleiss served 20 months at the Federal Correctional Institution, Dublin, California. She was released to a halfway house on November 19, 1998, and ordered to perform 370 hours of community service.[11] She was finally released from the halfway house in September 1999.[citation needed]
…
In August 2013, Nevada police found nearly 400 marijuana plants growing at her Pahrump, Nevada, home, but did not arrest Fleiss and submitted their report to the district attorney's office.[16]
Business interests
In 2005, Fleiss announced plans to open a brothel in Pahrump, Nevada called "Heidi Fleiss's Stud Farm".[17][18] In 2007, Fleiss opened a laundromat called "Dirty Laundry" in Pahrump, as her plans for the brothel had been put on hold due to a "slight complication."[19] In 2009, she said that she had abandoned her plans to open such a brothel because she did not want to "deal with all the nonsense in the sex business". Instead, she said, she would focus on renewable energy, which she described as "perfect for Nevada" and "the wave of the future".[20] She opened a fashion boutique in Los Angeles after being released from prison.[21]
As of July 2018,[22] and since at least January 2017,[23] Fleiss owns and manages the Flying S Ranch Ultralight Flightpark, an ultralight private use airport in Pahrump, with FAA designation NV54.[22]
…
Fleiss eventually moved to Pahrump, Nevada,[25] where she came to live in a small town near Death Valley[26] while caring for 25 parrots.[27] Drew Pinsky, who treated Fleiss for substance abuse, performed brain scans on her that showed significant frontal lobe dysfunction, which Pinsky surmised was behind her inability to empathize with people, and her propensity for doing so with birds.[28]
In 2009, Fleiss was treated for substance abuse at the Pasadena Recovery Center, which was filmed for the third season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. One of her fellow patients was Sizemore, against whom her prior restraining order had lapsed. Both Fleiss and Sizemore consented to appear together on the show before filming began,[28] and their reunion, depicted in the third episode, was amicable,[29] though Fleiss subsequently expressed mixed feelings about his presence there.[30] During the filming of the program, Fleiss left the center and was involved in an accident with her SUV near her home in Nevada. She subsequently returned to rehab.[26]
