5 Native Culture Wasn't Primitive Skubasteve834 The Myth: American Indians lived in balance with mother earth, father moon, brother coyote and sister ... bear? Does that just sound right because of the Berenstain Bears? Whichever animal they thought was their sister, the point is, the Indians were leaving behind a small carbon footprint before elements were wearing shoes. If the government was taken over by hippies tomorrow, the directionless, ecologically friendly society they'd institute is about what we picture the Native Americans as having lived like.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa jury has returned a $27 million verdict against a Des Moines medical clinic after a man with bacterial meningitis was misdiagnosed with the flu, suffered strokes and said he has been permanently injured.

In the Northern Hemisphere, this year's winter hasn't yet begun. But Melissa J. Sacco, a pediatric-intensive-care specialist at UVA Health, is already dreading the arrival of the one that could follow. For months, the ICU where Sacco works has been overflowing with children amid an early-arriving surge of respiratory infections. Across the country, viruses such as RSV and flu, once brought to near-record lows by pandemic mitigations, have now returned in force, all while COVID-19 continues to churn and the health-care workforce remains threadbare. Most nights since September, Sacco told me, her ICU has been so packed that she's had to turn kids away "or come up with creative ways to manage patients in emergency rooms or emergency departments," where her colleagues are already overwhelmed and children more easily slip through the cracks. The team has no choice: There's nowhere else for critically ill kids to go. Similar stories have been pouring in from around ...
