Doctor was available for teenager who died: A Western Australian Health Department report has revealed a doctor could have seen a teenaged patient who died after a nurse sent him home from hospital with Panadol. Andrew's mother took him to the hospital because he had a fever above 40 degrees, was vomiting and had difficulty breathing. A Health Department report has now revealed the nurse failed to recognise诊断出 the severity of the teenager's condition(symptoms). Consultant neurosurgeon conducted the investigation. "It is clear from the report that the nurse did not carry out the accepted emergency department triage/tri`A$/ process and bypassed绕过 normal hospital systems," he said. "The nurse was neither qualified nor tasked to act as a triage nurse and attended to Andrew outside the normal treatment area." The nurse has refused to explain his side of the story and has been fired. The Health Department says it will revise and reissue guidelines for staff regarding emergency care. The guidelines will emphasise that triage must be undertaken by a qualified triage nurse, discharge from an emergency department must be considered by an experienced triage nurse or a doctor, and triage nurses must notify doctors of all patients who have a high temperature.

Catholics told to lobby their MPs to vote against gxy marriage: THE Catholic Church is instructing指示 parishioners to lobby federal MPs against voting for gxy marriage, suggesting they base arguments on the natural order and the importance of a biological relationship with children rather than on marriage being a religious institution. As pressure mounts inside the Labor Party for a change in the party's policy officially banning such marriages, both the gxy lobby and now the Catholic Church are intensifying their efforts to win the debate. MPs are consulting their constituents after a Greens motion urging politicians to seek the views of their electorates on changing marriage laws was passed last month in the House of Representatives with Labor's support. In an open letter, the church tells its members that as "the Greens continue their assault on the culture of life . . . every Catholic should let federal legislators know that marriage and family, the cornerstone of society, must be protected at all costs." The "talking points论点(Something, such as an especially persuasive point, that helps to support an argument or a discussion. point - a brief version of the essential meaning of something; "get to the point"; "he missed the point of the joke"; "life has lost its point")" to be used by parishioners have been prepared by the Sydney Archdiocese. "Marriage between a man and a woman is not a religious construct but a natural institution found across all cultures and religions. "Marriage is a unique kind of sexually complementary union with a natural orientation to life," reads the key argument. To counter the argument used by the gxy lobby that children are an optional extra for marriage and marriage is not connected to having children, the church suggests that heterosexual married couples that are infertile have a greater right to be married "because their lovemaking is designed to give life". The church also said allowing gxy marriage would trivialise the meaning and dignity of motherhood and fatherhood.
