高國慶術後喊痛 仍牽掛季後賽
更新日期:2009/07/31 04:09
〔記者倪婉君／台北報導〕昨天晚上8點多，吞下術後第一顆止痛藥的獅隊主砲高國慶說：「麻醉退了之後，好痛喔！」左手第四根掌骨被觸身球砸中，高國慶本季被迫提早報銷，他忍著痛說：「只希望趕得上季後賽，為球隊效力。」
獅隊昨晚在北部新莊球場比賽，一直是獅隊第四棒的高國慶卻只能留在台南，因為他在23日對熊隊比賽受傷，因此不但未能在26日的明星賽登場，並在昨天下午快5點的時候，進入開刀房修復骨折。
「我現在不知道傷口有多大，不過我想，2、3公分一定有，真的好痛。」高國慶說話的同時，其實才剛吞下止痛藥，而手術歷時1小時才結束。
根據獅隊防護員的說法，預計下週就能拆掉石膏，可以慢慢開始做重量練習，等到6週之後拿掉鋼釘，就可進行揮棒練習。昨日在新莊球場督軍的領隊林增祥，對於折損一員大將，只能說：「也沒辦法啊，都受傷了，最快2個月後才能上場吧！」
一向對自己要求甚嚴的高國慶當然更無奈，他說：「畢竟是在戰場上受傷的，也沒辦法。」現在只能看電視替隊友加油，高國慶看到三、四棒的卡斯提、陳連宏都有好表現，表示：「希望我季後賽能上場，多少為球隊盡點心力。」
受傷之後，高國慶不會隨隊，將會待在台南調整。

緊急停課10天！ 雲林2國中爆流感
更新日期:2009/07/31 08:47 劉松霖 魏嘉良
新流感疫情在雲林蔓延，有2所學校停課10天以上，全校大消毒，永年中學有10名學生，是H1N1確診案例；東南中學也發現疑似新流感情形，校方自行通報人數，多達288人，外界一度以為，爆發最大規模的群聚感染，但疾管局統計的可能案例只有4人，校方澄清，防堵疫情必須滴水不漏，因此學生的不適症狀就算再輕，一律通報。
校方廣播：「疾管局通報，報全校....。」
記者：「10班級有幾個？」東南中學教師：「3個。」
前一天，東南中學臨時統計全校學生身體不適的人數，緊急宣布停課10天，深怕新流感疫情入侵，每個人都發口罩，連續2天全校大消毒。東南中學教師：「半桶是不是八分滿就可以了？這一整排都要消毒，主要是桌面和桌角的地方。」
學校老師不上課，戴起橡膠手套，拿抹布和漂白水，要把課桌椅消毒乾淨，雲林西螺的東南中學，28日一名國三學生出現流感症狀，隔天同學接連發生咳嗽和喉嚨痛情形，學校自行統計的人數多達288人，和疾管局鎖定的發燒學生14人，相差20倍以上，校方解釋無意製造恐慌。
記者：「是不是緊張了一點？」東南中學校長劉盛華：「對對對，因為我們導師也覺得有這個必要，因為學生有這種(感冒)症狀，搞不好2天之後就發燒。」
畢竟國內出現首例新流感重症死亡患者，同樣在雲林縣還有另一所中學，已經有確定10件案例，上午也進行消毒，面對H1N1威脅，東南中學不敢大意。

Severe Texas drought bringing snakes closer to humans
The drought that has been choking Central Texas is affecting people and critters alike. Snakes have been in search of relief, which they are increasingly finding in neighborhoods.
"It was pretty big," Manor Police Sergeant Ryan Phipps says of a snake his comrade shot and killed in a woman’s backyard Monday.
Inside the roughly seven foot long serpent was the carcass of a full grown rabbit. The woman found the lengthy reptile while raking the grass in the suburban subdivision Shadow Glen. That specimen was the biggest, but certainly not the first, slithering visitor to surprise someone in these parts recently. Lately, Manor police have gotten at least one snake call a week.
Snakes pushed out of their habitat, into the baking badlands of Central Texas, are looking for a place to cool down.
"You need to go outside and check your yard before you let your animals out, and also your children, because getting bitten by a rattlesnake is not a good thing," warns Jerome Williams, president of the Greenbury Village Homeowner’s Association in Manor.
He warned residents in a letter Wednesday that several rattlesnakes have recently been found in some yards around the neighborhood, "They're out so we definitely want to let people to know to be on the lookout.
"But not everybody has gotten the memo. A little more than half the way through the year, the number of snake bites treated in Austin nearly equals the total for all of last year. Looking specifically at statistics from UMC Brackenridge, there were 36 snake bites treated in 2008. So far this year, there have been 29 bites treated at that hospital, with another 14 bites reported at Dell Children’s Medical Center.
Considering the trend, doctors say it’s not a bad idea to know what to do if you’re bitten.
"Forget what you have seen in the Old Western movies. Don't suck the poison out, don't put a tourniquet on. Just go to the nearest emergency department. None of that stuff works," says Dr. T.J. Milling.
Dr. Milling says to seek treatment quickly if you even suspect you have been bitten. While snake bites in Central Texas generally are not fatal, they can be under certain circumstances. Besides, the bite will become more painful as time passes.
Dr. Milling, who is the clinical research director for dell children’s and UMC Brackenridge, is currently working on a study with the aim of developing a test that could detect how much venom is in any given snake bite wound. That would allow doctors to better tailor the amount of treatment, which can cause allergic reactions in some cases.
If trends keep up the way they have been going, Dr. Milling and his colleagues could have plenty more bites to study here in Central Texas.

Yankees pitcher Wang to have season-ending surgery
July 28, 2009 CBSSports.com wire reports
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Yankees starting pitcher Chien-Ming Wang will undergo season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his injured right shoulder Wednesday.
The Yankees made the announcement after Tuesday night's 6-2 loss to Tampa Bay.
New York manager Joe Girardi said there is no timetable for when Wang will return next season, and that the team will know more about a potential timeframe after the procedure.
Wang was examined Tuesday by noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews. The right-hander went on the 15-day disabled list July 5 with a strained right shoulder.
"It's a tough loss for us," Girardi said. "I feel for him. He's been through a lot the last 14, 15 months. Hopefully this is will be the end of the surgeries for him and he'll have the rest of his career be real healthy. We'll be there for him and we'll help him get through this. We'll get him back pitching as soon as we can."
After winning 19 games in 2006 and 2007, Wang missed the final 3½ months last season after injuring his right foot while running the bases in Houston. He's just 1-6 with a 9.64 ERA in 12 games this season, after missing time from April 19 to May 21 with a hip injury.
"All you can do is get it fixed, rehab it and move on," Yankees pitching coach Dave Eiland said. Copyright 2009 by STATS LLC and The Associated Press. Any commercial use or distribution without the express written consent of STATS LLC and The Associated Press is strictly prohibited.
