Daina and Casimer Lucz- czek of nearly Mississauga had lost three unborn babies pa Laura campaign. Its most vocal critic says it's an obscene waste of money to polish the image of British Columbia doctors. But no matter what you call it, the $2-million, three- year campaign which is the brainchild of the president elect of the British Columbia Medical Association has stir- red up more than a little dust Dr. Gerry Karr, who ass umes the BCMA's top job in May, says the plan, if app- roved, will try to make the public more aware of health concerns and promote great. er co-operation between Brit- ish Columbia's physicians and members of the legislature. But Dr. Scott Wallace, a general practitioner from Victoria and former leader of the provincial Conservative party, sees Project 2000 as an unnecessary move that could tarnish the image of the medical profession. The BCMA, which is curr ently negotiating new fee schedules with the govern ment, will find out what its 5,500 members think next Wednesday. That's when the ballots will be counted and the association will learn whether it has been given the go-ahead to bankroll the scheme by raising its annual membership fees, currently $825, by $180 a year for three years. NEED EXISTS Karr, who practises inter nal medicine in Penticton, ‘says Project 2000 is necess. ary because when it comes to health care — especially the relationship between cost and quality of service there has been “a woeful lack of understanding on the part of the public.” In a bid to change that, the association plans to flood doctors’ offices with bro chures, posters and possibly audio cassettes. It will train physicians to speak to service organizations and spend $1 million on advertising. “The public has to have a better idea of what the costs are.” says Karr. “We must education them about the wise use of health care.” The education campaign will also include preventive medicine and lifestyles ed ucation, he said To create more effective consultation between doctors and legislators, the BCMA plans a meeting between the two groups in Victoria. Karr says Project 2000 will pick up the tab for the doctors’ travel expenses and hire individuals such as economists to present their views to the gathering We need more than short term solutions to the pro blems of rising costs,” he says, citing the government's approach to hospital budget ing as a major concern. “The hospitals not only get a fixed annual allocation, but if they come in under than (one year) they will get even less (the next year).” CALLED OBSCEN| But Wallace, who has opposed Project 2000 since it was announced this fall, resents what he calls an obscene amount of money being spent on a campaign that “will leave the public very much unmoved.” “Two million bucks? That's one of my fundamental app- rehensions,” he says. “Please explain to me how we need $2 million.” Wallace says he views Project 2000, which has been endorsed by the BCMA's board of directors, as nothing more than an elaborate pub- lic relations campaign. “When you hear about a group spending $2 million to polish its image you've got to ask questions.” He also says the BCMA is attempting to earn public support in its stalled nego tiations over fee schedules, something Karr hotly denies. in previous p “We were thinking of adopting,” Daina said. “But we decided to give it one more shot. “This is our one more shot,” she said, cuddling Laura. The couple were attending a news conference at the Hospital for Sick Children where Dr. Patricia Quinn described evidence of a re cently identified cause of miscarriages, stillbirths and deaths of newborns. The problem is infection with an organism, called mycoplasma. “The smallest free-living organisms known to man,” said Quinn, a micro- biologist in the obstetrics de- partment at the University of Toronto. Antibiotics can be used to kill the infection, allowing women to carry babies to full term. Each year thousands ot women across Canada have miscarriages. “Among cou. ples who want children 15 to 30 per cent of pregnancies are lost,” Quinn said Dr. Edward Ryan, obste trieian at St. Joseph's Health Centre, predicted almost half of those babies might be saved by treating the mother with antibiotics. FINDS INFECTIONS Quinn said in one U of T study of 33 such cases, in fections were found in 65 per cent of the miscarriages, with 80 per cent of the infections being mycoplasma. Mycoplasma organisms are common in man and animals but usually cause no harm. But, Quinn said, certain strains of the germs grow on mucous membrance of the genital tract or in the sperm. During pregnancy the or. ganism may attack the lungs of the fetus, growing on the mucous membranes like fun. gus growing on a tree. Treatment with an anti biotic, either before or during pregnancy, may prevent the infection and save the baby, Quinn said Daina Luczczek took the vious five years, each’ at about the 10th week or preg- nancy. ¢ Another couple, Marlene and Murtay Richardson of Burlington, were devastated when a mycoplasma infection killed their first-born, Nich- olas, in 1979 when he was three days old. Until an au- topsy was performed no rea- son was found “why the seven-pound, healthy-looking baby was so sick,” she said. TAXES ANTIBIOTICS Since then, they have had to healthy daughters. May- lene Richardson was given antibiotics through her preg- nancy with the first daughter but was found free of the or- ganism and was able to carry her second daughter without treatment. Quinn has studied about | 100 couples for whom myco- plasma infections appeared to cause recurrent stillbirths. After undergoing treatment, about 80 of them now have babies. Furthermore, Quinn said, the babies have been full- term, healthy infants, where- as some of the mothers had previously given birth pre- maturely to sickly babi Financed by a $1 million grant from Health and Wel- fare Canada, a team headed by Quinn with seven obste- tricians, a pediatrician and Certified General Accountant 270 Columbia Ave. Castlegar Ph. 365-2151 MOROSO, MARKIN & BLAIN Certified General Acc © 1964 Universal Press Syndicate 10-13 241 Columbia Ave. Castlegar Ph. 365-7287 Soligo, Koide & John Chartered “| got a job as a in a mattre: night watchman ss factory.” ( ASK CHES OR JOHN FOR BEAUMARK APPLIANCES WITH B.E.W.C.

But a spokesman for Rev enue Canada says the agency seldom looks at the value of a particular charity and it appears the system, while rarely abused, works mainly through the honar of charity workers themselves. “The public conception is that if Revenue Canada was registered them, the chari ties are bona fide,” says Gordon Murray, chief of the charitable and non-profit org- anization section of the tax department. “But it's not really true. “They are bona fide only to the extent of the information they've given us. We don't know until they are audited or until someone complains.” In 1980, the last year for which statistics are available, Canadians gave about $5.6 billion to charities, and the money was handled by 173, 000 employees paid $1.7 billion in wages. Charities are audited at random, just as individual taxpayers are, and only 11 charities have been stripped of their status by Revenue Canada in the last 10 years, for other reasons. But the opportunities for abuse are there. Newly formed such as those that have sprung up after publicity about the famine in Africa, can collect funds for at least a year before providing an account to Revenue Canada. charities, ANGE Sil DIE AN See us for: * Complete Nursery & Florist Ltd. 2601 - 9th Ave., Ul Castlegar 365-7312 ST ETaraene CLOTHING, DRAPERIES, BEDSPREADS ev jerything on consignment.
