Hastings hospice opened again after 6 months

A Hastings hospice that had been compelled to shut down half a year ago will re-start its inpatient palliative care service.

The Hawke's Bay District Health Board had taken control of Cranford Hospice in May after an independent audit had come across a dysfunctional relationship between the staff and a disapproving working environment.

Around 50 hospice and hospital staff attended a thanksgiving service on Monday at the Hawke's Bay hospital's chapel.

The ceramic guardian angel of Cranford, which has embraced the palliative care patients into the hospital since May, was later ceremonially given back to the Cranford board.

According to the chief executive of DHB, Kevin Snee, Cranford has now got a new governance structure, with new management and better qualified nurses.

Big smiles could be seen around the Cranford Hospice today as the in-patient services came back home after operating from Hawke's Bay Hospital for the past half year.

No details from Apple as Steve Jobs, goes on medical leave

Steve Jobs, who has been suffering from pancreatic cancer for quite sometime now, went out on a medical leave. But no details were given by Apple as to what the real situation is. And when there is no declared successor to Steve, the situation becomes even more critical.

Steve is 55 years old and has been waiting for a treatment. He has already gone through a liver transplant in 2009 and does not seem to have clearly come out of it. And experts have finally given their opinion saying that he is in dire need of personalized medical treatment.

Way back in 2004, the doctors had removed islet cell neuroendocrine tumor from his pancreas. The tumor is rare but if caught early it does not lead to cancer. Some have even recommended that he needs to be given Whipple surgical procedure.

It requires for parts of pancreas, stomach, bile duct and small intestine to be removed. But since he has been in the same condition for last 2-3 years, the reasons for his illness could be many others.

His gaunt physique can also be a sign of his undergoing this procedure. Post the surgery many patients lose weight for a few weeks and then come back to normal state. But no confirmations on either of these have come up.
