	RAT POISON KILLED YURKO 'SHAKEN BABY' by Fintan Dunne, 7 Jan '02 Editor www.SickofDoctors.com A pathologist has uncovered evidence that 'shaken baby' Alan Yurko was killed by medical staff who massively overdosed the infant with the drug Heparin, only hours before he died. His father by the same name is imprisoned in Florida for shaking him causing hemorrhage and death. Heparin is a blood anti-coagulant very similar to Warfarin --a poison which kills rats by internal hemorrhaging. Dr. Mohammed Al-Bayati, a California-based expert toxicology witness, discovered in the course of his 250 hour review of the medical records, that the dose of Heparin was 8.8 times the level appropriate for the premature infant's meager body weight. His just-issued report concludes that Heparin caused severe subdural bleeding in the brain and spinal cord and minor bleeding in one eye, as well as other effects. Heparin tops insulin and morphine as the leading drug causing patient injury by improper dose in US hospitals, according to the MedMarx medication errors reporting system, says a 2001 study by U.S. Pharmacopoeia. Recent Heparin-induced fatalities include Jeffrey Owens, a gay man who died in June 2001 after being administered a 100 times overdose of Heparin following a stabbing outside a Riverside gay bar. The nurse had asked the doctor, a blood bank worker and a hospital pharmacist for guidance. Neither knew the correct dose, but the nurse medicated Mr. Owens anyway. He was rushed to an operating room, but died hours later. Difficulties now face a successful prosecution of those charged by police with the stabbing. Also, in March 2002, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, cardiac specialist to Vice-president Dick Cheney, was forced to make an out of court settlement in a lawsuit which claimed a Nebraska education administrator had died from a ten times overdose of Heparin after he went to hospital with chest pain. CATALOGUE OF ERRORS In addition to Heparin overdose, Dr. Al-Bayati's report also finds that baby Alan Yurko had been overdosed with sodium bicarbonate prescribed to correct an acid metabolism. "Bicarbonate [...] should be stopped when the pH reaches 7.2 to minimize possible detrimental side effects including cerebral edema," his report says. But, according to Dr. Al-Bayati, the hospital records show a pH of 7.61 just before the infant died. He concludes the bleeding in the brain and other tissues was caused by excessive treatment with heparin and sodium bicarbonate. This is confirmed, says Dr. Al-Bayati, by a scan of the brain that was taken after admission and after five hours of Heparin overdosing. It showed subdural hematoma only on the right side of the brain and none on the left side. Yet, the autopsy found bleeding on the left side, so this must have occurred after admission. That contradicts the evidence at trial by Dr. Shashi Gore that hemorrhaging was prior to admission and due to vigorous shaking of the head. VACCINE-INDUCED INJURIES At eight weeks of age and despite multiple existing health problems, Alan had been given six vaccines without any follow-up monitoring or medical supervision. The Yurko campaign recently discovered that one of the vaccines was from a batch that ranks number one in deaths, and number one in non-recoveries, for Connaught Labs DTaP vaccines. Thirteen days later the baby had a cardiac arrest, and apnea episode and his father took him to Princeton hospital in Orlando, Florida. Dr. Al-Bayati says a preterm baby is prone to exactly these serious adverse reactions to vaccines, and by best practice should have been monitored, says his report. On admission to hospital, his doctor failed to realize that he was diabetic as a result of infections induced by the vaccines, and was suffering from meningitis, maintains Dr. Al-Bayati. In diabetic children, cerebral edema is a common cause of death. Yet his treatment only made this outcome more likely and also produced bleeding in the brain and axonal injuries, which were portrayed at trial as characteristic markers for Shaken Baby Syndrome(SBS). That led to the false conviction of Mr. Yurko, he notes. DUBIOUS MEDICAL EVIDENCE Dr. Al-Bayati is very scathing of the medical evidence presented for the prosecution at Alan Yurko's trial. One of the physicians giving evidence had spent only 40 minutes in examination of the infant and review of the medical data. Furthermore, instead of direct evidence of SBS, the court was offered merely theory, he says. Astonishingly, none of the prosecution medical witnesses had examined the mother's pregnancy charts or the infant's serious medical problems subsequent to preterm birth. Yet, their testimony was that the baby was healthy prior to his hospital admission. In particular, Dr. Al-Bayati details 23 instances where trial testimony by Dr. Shashi Gore's was at variance, he says, with the medical evidence. "I believe that the cases of individuals who were convicted of killing babies by SBS based on the axonal injuries, subdural bleeding, and eye bleeding should be reexamined," says Dr. Al-Bayati. "The state of Florida has the responsibility to review the evidence presented in this report concerning the Yurko’s case. It shows that Mr. Yurko is innocent and they should take a speedy action to free him from prison," he recommends in conclusion. PENDING APPEAL Currently imprisoned for life without parole, Mr. Yurko filed a motion for post conviction relief before The Ninth Judicial Circuit Court in Orlando, Florida on March 22nd, 2002. He hopes for a ruling by mid-2003 granting an evidentiary hearing which would allow him present expert testimony. A previous appeal before The Fifth District Court on March 7, 2000 failed to overturn his conviction. But, if a new evidentiary hearing were granted, Dr. Al-Bayati's report and discovery of the 'smoking-gun' Heparin overdose would cast a substantial reasonable doubt on the conviction and could lead to civil or criminal proceedings against others.
