A medical helicopter the one in the middle of your screen has been dispatched. It has arrived to take the boy to the hospital. We just lost the scene. We just lost that signal but again a 14yearold boy on his way to the hospital after that accident in middletown bucks county. Well continue to update the situation for you as more information becomes available to us. Time for health check now. A new report is raising concerns about drug errors in Nursing Homes. Health reporter and registered nurse ali gorman is at the big board with more details. Hi, guys. The report focuses on bloods thinners like coumadin or warfarin. It has many benefits but it can be tricky to manage. Too little raises the risks for blood clots, too much can lead to lifethreatening bleeding. Government inspections say in the last three years at least 165 nursing home residents were hospitalized or died because of blood thinner errors. Others studies suggest there are thousands of injuries each year that are not reported. Critics say these errors often dont get enough attention because the drugs have many benefits but they say Nursing Homes need to do a better job at overseeing dosages and checking levels. Also today if your Children Play soccer theres new information about whats most likely to cause a concussion. Theres been a push to ban heading from the game but new Research Shows that would have a limited effect. A large multiyear study of High School Soccer players shows most concussions happen during player to player contact while heading the ball. The researchers say limiting that contact would prevent more concussion. Some doctors still say that they would like to see heading banned for players under 14 years old. And heres something interesting. For many women toenail polish is a must have especially during the summer. But foot experts say that you shouldnt keep it on all summer long. They say dyes from the polish can soak into the nail and dry it out. Then make it easier for bacteria and other organisms to invade and open the door for long term problems. They recommend a few weeks on and a few weeks off for toenail polish. If you take the polish off and the nail looks chalky or dry then there are some fixes. I recommend putting something even as simple as Vitamin E Oil on the nail plate rubbing it in and do a gentle filing if you need to, to see if we cant get the nail to start becoming more healthy. The doctor says you should avoid putting new polish on until a discolored nail grows out and an Oil Treatment every time you take polish off can also help. Sharrie we learn something new every day. Every day these beauty tips. Ali thank you.
