Man dies after fall while climbing near Coulee City
(from facebook post) A man has died after falling while climbing near this Grant County town.
Around 2 p.m. Jan. 13, Grant County emergency responders were called to a climbing area along State Route 155 near mile post 8, about nine miles north of Coulee City. The victim and a friend had been climbing the rock walls popular in this region of the state. While hiking along a small trail, the victim fell about 150 feet. He died at the scene. There is no suspicion of foul play or equipment failure. The victim’s remains are in the custody of the Grant County Coroner who will release the victim’s name once his family has been notified. The victim is not from Eastern Washington. “Grant County has such great recreation year round, and to have someone travel here and then have such a terrible accident is heartbreaking,” said Sheriff Tom Jones. “I will pray for his friends and family.”

VA memo warns of HIV exposure
BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Veterans Administration has told western New York members of Congress that more than 700 patients at the Buffalo VA Medical Center may have been exposed to HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C because of accidental reuse of insulin pens, according to a published report.
Authorities told the Buffalo News, which first published the report on its website Friday, there is a “very small risk” for the diabetic patients who may have been exposed to the reused insulin pens between Oct. 19, 2010 and November 2012.
The VA memo obtained by the News said the problem was discovered by a routine pharmacy inspection last Nov. 1.
In a statement to the Associated Press, Evangeline Conley, a VA spokeswoman, said the hospital “recently discovered that in some cases, insulin pens were not labeled for individual patients.” She added that “although the pen needles were always changed, an insulin pen may have been used on more than one patient.”
Conley said that once this was discovered the hospital took “immediate action” to ensure the insulin pens were being used according to pharmaceutical guidelines.
Insulin pens used by diabetics to inject insulin can be disposable or reusable with replaceable needles and cartridges. But according to the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, even reusable pens should not be used on more than one patient.
The VA said it is offering free blood tests to rule out any infections.
