Using data from the American Medical Association and the U.S. Census Bureau, the per capita supply of physicians was examined for various medical specializations in the USA, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. It was found that the per capita growth rates of high risk specializations (surgeons) were usually lower than those of low risk specializations (non-surgeons). These results are described in more detail within this article. |

17 Jun 2005
|
Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, IL announced on Tuesday that it will now offer some benefits to its employees in same-sex domestic partnerships.
The change in policy comes after a three-year legal battle by former pediatric nurse manager, Lynn Sprout, who was fired after coming out while caring for her dying same-sex partner of 18 years.
Numerous demonstrations outside the hospital in support of Ms. Sprout and news coverage of these demonstrations during Ms. Sprout’s legal battle put public pressure on the hospital to change its policies. Ms. Sprout, whose complaint of discrimination was upheld by the Urbana Human Relations Commission last November, ended her legal case in April, 2005 when she settled with the hospital in a confidential agreement. |
