intravenous solutions. It's hard to speculate."
Parker said that the 1 hospital's method of disposing needles adhered to established practice. Until June, the hospital disposed of needles and syringes in an incinerator. That incinerator broke down and is expected to be replaced, he said.
The Centers For Disease Control in Atlanta have published recommendations for preventing virus transmission in health-care settings.
In an Aug. 21 CDC report, hospital waste was said to be usually no more infectious than residential waste.
Also, the report said, "... there is
no epidemiologic evidence that hospital waste has caused disease in the community as a result of improper disposal. . . Hospital wastes for which special precautions appear prudent include microbiology laboratory waste, pathology waste and blood specimens or blood products."
Watkins Hospital also follows recommended procedures when& dealing with laboratory waste.
Candye Waitley, nurse health educator at Watkins, said all needles used in the hospital laboratory were autoclaved, which means they were sterilized, before they were thrown away.
However, the process of disposing needles not used in the laboratory is different.
waitley said that after a needle was used, it automatically was separated from the syringe. The needle would then fall into a plastic container and would not have to be touched by health-care workers.
The containers are taped closed and are labeled with warning signs. The containers then are placed in special bags. The bags are thrown away in dumpsters and hauled away with the rest of the hospital's trash.

State fair fans are hog-wild about pig-racing attraction
The Associated Press
The starting gates opened. In seconds, Porkburger Express sprinted to victory and gobbled up the sandwich cookie waiting in a tin plate at the finish line.
HUTCHINSON — The traditional pre-race bugle call "Boots and Saddles" sounded over the public address system, and the eager squeals from the four entrants reached a swine-tingling pitch.
Welcome to the most talked-about attraction at the 1987 Kansas State Fair — pig racing.
a good show.
Joe Hedrick, who trained the pigs, said people liked watching the races because they were something new and involved animals and competition.
Crowds of 300 or more fairgores pack in around a 40-foot long, half-circle racetrack as many as five times a day to watch free, three-race sessions. The competitors include Magnum P.I.G., Hambo, Seattle Slop and Arnold Schnautenhager.
a good show.
Shortly before race time, Hedrick,
dressed in a pair of jeans, western
shirt and an immaculate white straw
cowboy hat, disappears for a few
moments. When he emerges on the
platform next to the race track he is
wearing a beat-up hat, red bandana,
red and white checkered shirt and
faded bib overalls.
His voice and personality change. He works up the crowd using tape-recorded corny versions of barnyard standards. He delivers explanations and instructions on pig racing in a strange accent.
strange accent.
"I use a little combination between Cajun and a southern drawl," he said.
the 42-year-old owner of Hedrick's Promotions left behind careers as a high school teacher, coach and rodeo clown. His 40-acre home base near Nickerson is an exotic animal farm that has about 30 miniature donkeys, 40 llamas, 15 zebra, 15 camels and 20 ostrich.
amies and 20 other
Besides the pig races, Hedrick
operates a petting zoo and sells camel rides at the Kansas State Fair. He has two other petting zoos and another camel ride unit that also travel nationwide to fairs and other shows.
A chain of sandwich shops is sponsoring the pig races in Hutchinson and provides spectators an opportunity to win $1-off coupons if the pig they select wins the feature race of each session.
Hedrick starts training the pigs when they are four weeks old. The performers at the fair are seven months old and weigh about 140 pounds.
The races have proven to be crowd-pleasers. People walk away marveling at how fast the hightailing hogs run.
It's an attraction that almost wasn't, but Hedrick said he's glad to be in the pig-racing business.
"I had a guy six years ago talk to me about it," he said. "At the time, I thought it was stupid."
