Bitonte, MD, MA, JD, LLM, LLM, SJD candidate, Case Western Reserve University School of Law, Cleveland, OH; Email – rbitonte@aol.com Electrosmog is an umbrella term used to describe the exposure of combinations of high and low frequency electric fields, magnetic fields, and electromagnetic exposure in varying patterns, intensities, and environments at differing amounts of time. The desire for faster speeds and bandwidth has spurred continual technological improvements with its increased widespread use and exposure of the population to cellphones, cellphone LTE/5G towers, computers, laptops, notebooks, wireless networks/LANs, and other similarly daily used devices. Research has shown that exposure to electrosmog radiation has an effect on the blood, heart and the autonomic nervous system in humans in which heart palpitations induce pain or pressure in the chest accompanied by anxiety can cause autoimmune diseases and electromagnetic hypersensitivity in mice; and also has been shown to trigger sleep problems, headaches, nervousness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating in humans. There are a multitude of other health issues such as leukemia, brain tumors, breast cancer that some investigators suspect a correlational link between these underlying health conditions and electrosmog. Conducting research in trying to prove detrimental effects of electrosmog can be difficult in a controlled setting, especially when it is so abundant in our environment. Very little is actually publicized about the known potential harmful effects of electromagnetic field radiation on human health. This can be a major issue for physicians confronting health conditions without an identifiable cause. In fact, there is considerable debate about the severity and consequences on human health caused by electrosmog. The effects of electrosmog are largely unknown and, if detrimental, need to be considered like any other hazardous toxin, such as asbestos and lead, in our environment. This necessitates more governmental research, particularly by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission regarding electrosmog indoors and outdoors, particularly with the set up of 5G cell phone towers in certain areas, and the effect of wireless networks. In order to enact federal, state, and local legislation, as well as regulations, that sensibly 2020 American College of Legal Medicine JOURNAL OF LEGAL MEDICINE 2020, VOL. 40, NO.

It is also vital to disseminate public health material and knowledge about the possible adverse affects of electrosmog in order to garner awareness and safety of our citizens.

Harris","doi":"10.1080/01947648.2020.1715717","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01947648.2020.1715717","url":null,"abstract":"California Death Certificate Program: A Suggested Improvement Robert A. Bitonte, MD, MA, JD, LLM, FCLM, City of Los Angeles Commission on Disability, Los Angeles, CA; Email rbitonte@aol.com Michelle Gutierrez Harris, MHS, San Diego, CA; Email michelleann.gutierrez@gmail.com Over the past several years much interest has been aroused by the number of opioid related deaths. In California this has led to the implementation and enforced usage of the CURES (California Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System) database. The desire to curb opioid abuse has led to a recent initiation of the California Death Certificate Program. This program identifies physicians, dentists, and other providers who have prescribed opiates to an individual within 3 years of that person being identified as having died due to an opioid related overdose. The identified prescriber is then referred to that prescriber’s overseeing regulatory board, such a Medical Board of California or the Dental Board of California, for further investigation and possible disciplinary action. Any referral to a regulatory board necessitates an investigation. These investigations often are expensive, distracting, embarrassing, and potentially harmful to a professional’s reputation and practice. We propose that there be an intermediary process before these identified prescribers are referred to their respective regulatory boards for investigations. For example, implicated professional individuals could be referred to their County Medical Associations for review by their professional peers. If questionable, or unethical, behavior is determined to have occurred, then these professional individuals can then be referred to their respective regulatory bodies for investigation. 2020 American College of Legal Medicine JOURNAL OF LEGAL MEDICINE 2020, VOL. 40, NO.
