| Dodgy 'docs' swallow bitter pill
DODGY "doctors" who make false claims about curing cancer or who fleece vulnerable patients with high-priced but worthless treatments will now face tough penalties. The State Government is cracking down on unregistered health practitioners such as massage and reiki therapists, counsellors, naturopaths and herbalists following concerns some were preying on sick people. The move comes after a NSW coroner recommended charges be laid against the parents of nine-month-old Gloria Thomas who died of an infection after being treated with homeopathic remedies. And with 60 per cent of the Australian population now dabbling with alternative medicine, the rate of complaints in NSW is on the rise and the number of protests to the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) regarding alternative health providers has risen 17 per cent in four years.

Barnegat woman suffers injury after an accident on the GSP
LACEY — A Barnegat woman suffered injuries when the SUV she was driving rolled over on the Garden State Parkway and she was ejected, state police said. Diane Sendecki, 39, was flown by MONOC to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune after the crash at mile marker 72.2 on the Parkway around 12:05 p.m. Monday, said State Police Sgt. Dwight L. Payne. Police said it appeared the Barnegat woman suffered head trauma, as well as injuries to her chest and arm. Sendecki was in the right lane, heading south in a 1997 GMC Suburban, when she drove off the road and onto the shoulder, Payne said. Then the SUV returned the road, rolling several times on the highway as it headed across both lanes of travel, police said. The GMC rolled down an embankment and came to rest in a wooded area of the grass median.
