VANCOUVER (CP) — The problem of hemophiliacs con- tracting AIDS from manu- factured blood products has been solved by pasteurizing manufactured blood concen- trates, Dr. Rick Mathias said Tuesday. “The hemophiliacs — that's basically taken care of,” Mathias, an epidemiologist, said in an interview. “Factor ‘VIII is now pasteurized so new hemophiliacs now com- ing up are not likely to get infected. “But the ones that are cur- rently infected, we can-do very little for.” Heather Dubay, spokes- man for the British Columbia and Yukon division of the Canadian Red Cross, said pasteurized Factor VIII, which promotes clotting in fiemophiliacs, has been avail- able since July 1. Hemophiliacs and others, however, still run the risk of being infected with acquired immune deficiency syndrome through blood transfusions. Three people in British Columbia have died from AIDS after blood transfu- sions. The most recent victim was Louise Erickson, a 39- year-old mother of two from Fort St. John in northern one of 17 Canadian women to contract, AIDS, died Friday in Vancouver. The Red Cross expects to have a test in place -within British Columbia. Erickson,- problem solved as, 1 member of the national advisory committee on AIDS, said: “There is no test that can be done on blood which will reduce the risk to zero. It will just make it much lower.” He said the test detects only antibodies to the AIDS virus, not the virus. Some people carry the virus but no antibodies and none of; the associated diseases. _ However, he said’ people should not be overly con- cerned about contracting the disease through transfusions. [ “If a blood transfusion is life-saving, then it is a very low risk. (But) I think it's going to- make a lot of physicians and patients weigh the benefits and risks of transfusions.” Mathias ‘said if he were going to have surgery, he would tell his surgeon he wanted a transfusion only if absolutely necessary. with teenagers.” ; j Sympathy is one reason the courts are leaning toward plaintiffs, especially those who suffer serious injuries/and have few resources, Toronto lawyer Morris Chachla‘ said. As awards increase, more defendants are being sought to make sure there is enough money available to pay the total awards; Chachla said. “They are looking for more and more money and maybe looking in more pockets.” Things have gone too far, Gagne said: “The defence has had to prove it was not at fault. It's a pretty paternalistic kind of attitude.” Dummies fool guards VICTORIA (CP) — Three Smythe, both 27, and Darrin prisoners at the William Lawrence James, 26, were Head ‘y used hu- di: d missing Tuesday man hair to decorate dum- morning. i mies placed in their beds to The hair adorning the fool guards before escaping dummies’ heads possibly was from the medium-security gathered by the prison bar- federal prison. “ber shop, he said.

The decision is part of a backlash against overly liberal awards to injured plaintiffs; Gagne said. But Earl Cherniak, a leading litigation lawyer, said the facts of the ski-hill case were so blatant that it will not affect the trend toward increased commercial liability. Insurers fear “the creation of new fields of liability we have never seen before instead of the good, old system where everybody is responsible for their actions,” Gagne said. r : “What is happening is the whole of society is paying for it,” she said. “It’s getting pretty wild. People won't find any difficulty getting insurance. But they might not like the price.” LIST PRECENDENTS Recent decisions that worried insurance companies include: e A $1,150,000 award to.a 16-year-old who was left a quadraplegic after an automobile accident in Bright, Ont“A tavern that served the underage drinker was ordered to pay damages. e The owner of an: Ottawa apartment building was found negligent in protecting a tenant who was raped in her apartment. The woman was awarded $40,000 because a former employee had a master key and the company neither increased security nor warned the woman about a previous rape by the employee. i e The municipality of Brampton, Ont., was told to pay $6.3 million to a 14-year-old boy paralyzed after. a dirt-bike accident 6n municipal property. ‘¢ The B.C. Court of Appeal found a municipality partly liable for injuries to a 20-year-old man who dived off a dock into shallow water. Canada also is following the U.S. trend to increasing and more costly medical malpractice lawsuits. And a spate.of U.S. cases in which sports organizations and school boards have been found liable for injuries on their premises has‘led to similar lawsuits waiting to be heard in Hers », Canadian-courts. “Eventually, what goes on down there comes up here,” Gagne said. “It'srgetting pretty tough.” She said U.S. schools have even been found liable for professors who sexually assault students because the school had not r hed the emp * records iently before hiring them.
