800 reportedly
wrong drugs
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Nearly
800 patients in U.S. hospitals
were incorrectly given radioac
tive medicine during an 18-
month period ending last June,
the Nuclear Regulatory Commis
sion reports in an internal study.
Because the NRC was able to
obtain reports from only 30
states for its survey, the actual
number of patients receiving the
wrong type or dosage of radioac
tive drugs is likely to be much
higher.
The medical study is reported
in Monday’s edition of Science
Trends Newsletter.
The commission found the
kinds of mistakes made by health
care personnel administering
radioactive medicine included
giving patients the. wrong drug,
giving the medicine to the wrong
patient, using incorrect methods
to administer the drug and giv
ing the wrong dosage.
About 12 million Americans
receive radioactive medicine
each year. While radiation ther
apy to treat cancer is best known
to the public, mildly radioactive
isotopes are commonly adminis
tered, orally or intravenously, to
help physicians diagnose dis
eases.
The NRC reported 798 pa
tients in the 30 states were “mis-
administered” radioactive subst
ances from January 1981
through June 1982. Of that num
ber, 98 percent involved “the
diagnostic use of isotopes,”
rather than treatment.
The remaining 14 incidents
involved various forms of radia
tion therapy.
The report stressed that when
the millions of annual doses of
radioactive drugs are consi
dered, the rate of error in admi
nistering the medicine is no high
er*! han one-tenth of 1 percent.
The NRC did not state
whether any of the 798 patients
were harmed by the medical mis
takes, but radiology experts told
Science Trends there was no
reason to believe anyone was in
jured. They argued the error
rate for nuclear medicine is lower
than for other types of medical
care.
Nonetheless, the government
study warned, “We believe the
data highlight potential problem
areas that licensees could review
to assess the adequacy of their
anc l trainjJ
procedures
rams.”
It noted that giving,,
radiopharmaceutical to
or giving radioactive mi
the wrong patient accoi
moic Ilian 90 percentof

Pulitzer denies
misconduct
tag
United Press International
NEW YORK — Roxanne
Pulitzer says she did nothing to
warrant being called an unfit
mother and blames lawyers in
her divorce trial for making her
and Peter Pulitzer enemies, a
People magazine interview says.
Pulitzer’s divorce trial left her
without custody of her twin sons
or and without claims to her ex-
husband’s estimated $ 12 million
fortune. She recently hired pali-
mony lawyer Marvin Mitchelson
to try to get her children back.
During the 18-day divorce
proceeding in Palm Beach, Fla.,
Pulitzer accused his wife of hav
ing several affairs.
Florida Circuit Court Judge
Carl Harper ruled Mrs. Pulitzer
guilty of “gross moral miscon-
Detroit’s
one-chip
city now
United Press International
DETROIT — Detroit is
known as the Motor City and at
one time it could have been cal
led Potato Chip Town, too. Now
the city has become a one-chip
town.
The city, the nation’s potato
chip consumption capital, is
down to one potato chip manu
facturer with the newly
announced closure of Superior
Potato Chips. Teamster union
members voted Saturday to
accept the 53-year-old. com
pany’s severance pay offer of
S90 for each year of service.
Even without a large number
of chip makers in the city, De
troit is easily the No. 1 potato
chip-eating city in the country.
The Potato Chip-Snack Food
Association says Detroiters eat
some 7 pounds of potato chips
annually, compared with the na
tional consumption average of
4.3 pounds.
The closing of Superior
makes Better Made the city’s
only chip maker. In the late
1940s, there were 20 potato chip
manufacturers in Detroit.

“Why do people think I am an
unfit mother?” Mrs. Pulitzer
said. “I never did anything to
warrant those kinds of accusa
tions. The lawyers made it that
kind of a divorce.”
She hired Mitchelson to
handle her appeal.
Once a marriage breaks dow n
it doesn’t matter who slept with
whom,” Mitchelson told the
magazine.
“He’s making the mother of
his children look like a gypsy.”
