They were all taken to area hospitals and later released after experiencing symptoms including rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, dilated pupils, dizziness, light-headedness, nausea, lethargy and confusion, according to San Francisco Department of Public Health officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirteen of the those people were children ranging in age from 6 to 18, the health department said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://archpedi.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2534480\" target=\"_blank\">2016 study\u003c/a> tracing admissions at Children's Hospital Colorado found that more kids were treated for accidental pot ingestion after legalization, increasing from 1.2 children per 100,000 population two years prior to legalization to 2.3 per 100,000 population two years after legalization, the \u003cem>Associated Press\u003c/em> reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Colorado's new 'universal symbol' labeling requirements\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Colorado, where marijuana is already legal, officials have just beefed up their warnings on edible marijuana products. Starting Saturday, edible marijuana products in Colorado must feature a diamond-shaped stamp with the letters THC on the packaging and even on the edible items themselves. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That way, the new \"universal symbol\" for food products containing marijuana will be seen on the products even after they are removed from packaging, the AP reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's better than nothing,\" said Glantz, of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said a symbol right on the edible product itself may help some adults who read and understand what THC means to avoid accidentally consuming the product. But he said he doesn't think it will do much to prevent small children from accidentally eating the products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colorado also has new packaging rules for edible marijuana products that are not possible to stamp. For example, marijuana containing sodas must come in small single-serve bottles, AP reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marijuana legalization advocates say legalizing and regulating edible products will make them safer than when they were sold in the underground market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The imposition of sensible regulations on the cannabis industry, coupled with better public safety information and greater consumer responsibility and accountability, are the best strategies to address cannabis-specific health concerns due to the inadvertent ingestion or over-ingestion of edible products,” said Paul Armentano, deputy director of NORML, a marijuana legalization advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those using marijuana for medical purposes, edible products can also be problematic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think edible marijuana is one of the least desirable ways to use the product,\" said Dr. Laurie Vollen, a medical marijuana specialist at Naturally Healing MD in Albany, CA. \"It is much more difficult to titrate, the THC is metabolized into a more sedating, longer acting and more psychoactive metabolite than regular THC, and it is where people get into trouble.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For patients who prefer an edible form of marijuana, she recommends tinctures or pills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I hope California figures out how to prevent … mishaps,\" she said. \"As a physician, I don't recommend any kind of candy, cookie, or sweet with cannabis. Sweets are not healthy to begin with.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Starting Saturday, edible marijuana products in Colorado must feature a diamond-shaped stamp with the letters THC on the packaging and even on the edible items themselves. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That way, the new \"universal symbol\" for food products containing marijuana will be seen on the products even after they are removed from packaging, the AP reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's better than nothing,\" said Glantz, of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said a symbol right on the edible product itself may help some adults who read and understand what THC means to avoid accidentally consuming the product. But he said he doesn't think it will do much to prevent small children from accidentally eating the products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colorado also has new packaging rules for edible marijuana products that are not possible to stamp. For example, marijuana containing sodas must come in small single-serve bottles, AP reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marijuana legalization advocates say legalizing and regulating edible products will make them safer than when they were sold in the underground market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The imposition of sensible regulations on the cannabis industry, coupled with better public safety information and greater consumer responsibility and accountability, are the best strategies to address cannabis-specific health concerns due to the inadvertent ingestion or over-ingestion of edible products,” said Paul Armentano, deputy director of NORML, a marijuana legalization advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those using marijuana for medical purposes, edible products can also be problematic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think edible marijuana is one of the least desirable ways to use the product,\" said Dr. Laurie Vollen, a medical marijuana specialist at Naturally Healing MD in Albany, CA. \"It is much more difficult to titrate, the THC is metabolized into a more sedating, longer acting and more psychoactive metabolite than regular THC, and it is where people get into trouble.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For patients who prefer an edible form of marijuana, she recommends tinctures or pills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I hope California figures out how to prevent … mishaps,\" she said. \"As a physician, I don't recommend any kind of candy, cookie, or sweet with cannabis.

It affects about 300,000 children in the United States, with even more undiagnosed due to delayed or missed diagnosis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a rare disorder,\" McNaught said, with a rate as high as 1 in 100 school age children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Youth Ambassador Counters Misunderstandings\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Chichioco, a high school senior with Tourette syndrome, said he used to be bullied at school, with kids trying to trigger him to have outbursts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People got a kick out of trying to get me to say the bad words,” said Chichioco, a student at St. Ignatius, a private high school in San Francisco. “They would try to get me to say them in bad situations. The big challenge is to remember they don’t quite understand the syndrome.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Self-reassurance has been one of the best coping mechanisms for Chichioco, he said, as has been realizing that a lot of people react badly to his tics because they don’t understand his condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s easy to get down when people don’t seem to understand it,” Chichioco said. His tics come out more prominently when he is nervous or excited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now as a youth ambassador for the advocacy group Tourette Association of America, Chichioco said he works to spread awareness of the condition and counter the many misunderstandings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, though Chichioco has a verbal tic where he says swear words as part of his Tourette syndrome, that particular manifestation, called coprolalia, is rare. Only about 10 to 15 percent of people with Tourette syndrome will have outbursts riddled with curse words, said McNaught.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Neurological, Not Psychiatric, Disorder\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tourette syndrome is often incorrectly thought to be a psychiatric disorder, because it can have some behavioral features and symptoms that worsen at times of stress or anxiety. Because the condition often presents with anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or obsessive compulsive disorder, it can be hard to differentiate the origins of the symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The symptoms of Tourette’s appear in early childhood but can be transient and reappear later in life, McNaught said. Because symptoms come and go and vary in severity, it often leads to a delayed or incorrect diagnosis until the children are much older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chichioco said he first had tics, muscle twitches involving his face head and neck at around age 6, but wasn’t diagnosed until age 13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Mason, author, of e-books \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/What-Makes-Tic-Chris-Mason-ebook/dp/B00H7UFM9A\" target=\"_blank\">What Makes Me Tic: Living with Tourette Syndrome\u003c/a>\" and \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Touretties-Chris-Mason-ebook/dp/B0066IG4WS?ie=UTF8&qid=1465236061&ref_=sr_1_2&s=digital-text&sr=1-2\" target=\"_blank\">Touretties\u003c/a>,\" said he wasn’t diagnosed until age 20 after his mother became ill. The stress of facing her health issues brought out his tics more prominently, he said. His first tics were blinking his eyes really fast and tightly, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his childhood, before his diagnosis, Mason’s parents used to refer to his tics as his “bad habits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of parents have never heard of the word Tourette’s, “ he said, “even though there’s a hereditary component.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some scientific studies suggest that Tourette’s is genetic and is inherited as a dominant gene passed from parent to child, but it is not known for certain yet, according to the Tourette Association of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Treatment Options\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The condition is treated with a combination of medication and behavioral therapy. But the medications can carry serious side effects like cognitive dulling or extreme fatigue, so people with Tourette often come up with other techniques of coping as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mason, the author, said his medications cause extreme drowsiness. He could sleep 18 hours a day if given the chance. “Any time I sit down or lay down, I go to sleep,” he said. “Being an author, it’s taken away my creativity. It’s hard to write.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people with Tourette syndrome develop tools to help them manage daily life with their tics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thom, the London-based performance artist, helps spread the word about her condition on a website called \u003ca href=\"http://www.touretteshero.com/\">Tourette’s Hero\u003c/a>. She has developed some coping techniques because she couldn’t tolerate medication side effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She uses padded gloves because she punches her chest hundreds of times a day. She said she has also begun using a wheelchair because her walking is “chaotic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she started using the wheelchair, she noticed a difference in how people treated her. “People are less frightened of me now,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she doesn’t know why the word “biscuit\" -- or \"cookie\" in the U.S. -- has such a prominent role in her life. She joked that she doesn’t think about biscuits nearly as much as it seems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This tic inspired the title of a live show based on her experiences called “Backstage in Biscuitland.” It was performed at the San Francisco International Arts Festival earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she decided to perform on stage in a theatrical production because it was the only seat in the theater from which she couldn’t be asked to leave. Having motor and verbal tics makes it highly challenging for someone to attend theater, a space in which people are expected to sit still and quietly, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being in romantic relationships can be challenging for people with Tourette syndrome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been in a couple of romantic relationships, Mason said, comparing the situation to employment. “You have to decide if you are gonna tell someone before you get the job or right when you get in the relationship. When I put it out there, it ends shortly after.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chichioco said he hasn’t yet been in a romantic relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fear of finding someone you really like, and having them say, ‘You have Tourette’s, I can’t handle it,' \" says Chichioco, \"It’s hard to show vulnerability in that context. It’s eventually something I’ll have to face.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And dating someone else with Tourette syndrome would have its own challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I’m with other people with Tourette’s, we mirror our tics,\" Chichioco said. “That could be a hindrance. At the same time, it would be great to have two people that understand each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Empowerment has been the best medicine for his condition, Chichioco said. He even gave \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0fDXRBdpwE\" target=\"_blank\">a TEDx youth talk\u003c/a> last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I found throughout high school, I was uptight about it,” he said, but that changed when he started speaking openly about his experience to friends. “I felt empowered by the backing of people. The best treatment is being honest and speaking about it.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

She said she has also begun using a wheelchair because her walking is “chaotic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she started using the wheelchair, she noticed a difference in how people treated her. “People are less frightened of me now,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she doesn’t know why the word “biscuit\" -- or \"cookie\" in the U.S. -- has such a prominent role in her life. She joked that she doesn’t think about biscuits nearly as much as it seems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This tic inspired the title of a live show based on her experiences called “Backstage in Biscuitland.” It was performed at the San Francisco International Arts Festival earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she decided to perform on stage in a theatrical production because it was the only seat in the theater from which she couldn’t be asked to leave. Having motor and verbal tics makes it highly challenging for someone to attend theater, a space in which people are expected to sit still and quietly, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being in romantic relationships can be challenging for people with Tourette syndrome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been in a couple of romantic relationships, Mason said, comparing the situation to employment. “You have to decide if you are gonna tell someone before you get the job or right when you get in the relationship. When I put it out there, it ends shortly after.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chichioco said he hasn’t yet been in a romantic relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fear of finding someone you really like, and having them say, ‘You have Tourette’s, I can’t handle it,' \" says Chichioco, \"It’s hard to show vulnerability in that context. It’s eventually something I’ll have to face.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And dating someone else with Tourette syndrome would have its own challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I’m with other people with Tourette’s, we mirror our tics,\" Chichioco said. “That could be a hindrance. At the same time, it would be great to have two people that understand each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Empowerment has been the best medicine for his condition, Chichioco said. He even gave \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0fDXRBdpwE\" target=\"_blank\">a TEDx youth talk\u003c/a> last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Doctors who are on probation after being disciplined by state regulators would have to share that information with patients before providing care under a bill making its way through the state Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure, which would apply to physicians, podiatrists, acupuncturists and chiropractors, was passed by the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 600 of the 137,000 licensed physicians in California are on probation for serious offenses, including sexual misconduct involving patients or treatment and prescription errors that harmed patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Medical Board of California in November voted down \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2015/10/29/in-california-doctors-on-probation-not-required-to-tell-you-should-they/\" target=\"_blank\">a similar proposal\u003c/a> that would have required doctors on probation to tell their patients verbally and in writing, saying it was too onerous and unnecessary because the information is posted on the board’s website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, physicians on probation are already required to report the disciplinary status to their malpractice insurers and hospitals where they work, yet there is no rule requiring proactive notifications of patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors on probation are not necessarily admitting they violated ethics rules. Some do it to avoid lengthy and costly legal battles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While on probation, they may be temporarily barred from performing specific procedures or prescribing certain medicines. They might have to take classes or be supervised. In some cases it means a physician disciplined for sexual misconduct must be chaperoned in the exam room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patient advocate Tina Minasian, of Roseville, Calif., said such a law would have prevented her much pain and misery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nearly 14 years after my botched surgery, I still suffer from the lingering effects with excruciating pain, spitting sutures, gaping holes, disfigurement and a mutilated body,” she said in written testimony to the committee. “I will be forever reminded of the harm this doctor caused me and how the Medical Board of California allowed him to destroy my body, my self-confidence and my womanhood. I know many patients who were victims of this same physician while he was on probation, in fact, some have died.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minasian, who works as an advocate with Consumer’s Union California Safe Patient Project, told the committee that, unbeknownst to her, Brian West, operated on her while on probation for alcohol abuse. She said his license was revoked seven years after her surgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Medical Association, which opposes the bill, said requiring doctors to inform patients directly would take up valuable time in which care could be provided, in a letter filed with the committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocacy groups like Consumers Union and Consumer Watchdog say it’s important for doctors to tell patients about their disciplinary status so patients can make informed choices about their own care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the kind of information every patient deserves to know about their doctor before they receive medical care,” Consumer Watchdog wrote in a letter to the committee. “The patients of these doctors deserve to be notified proactively.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill needs to be passed by the appropriations committee and then by the full state Senate by June 3 in order to proceed to the Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",
