The death of a 21-year-old Bank of America Merrill Lynch intern has
raised questions about the dangers of going too long without adequate
sleep.
Moritz Erhardt was found unconscious in his dorm in London last week. An
ambulance was called, and Erhardt was pronounced dead at the scene. The
21-year-old German student was finishing his summer internship at Bank
of America Merrill Lynch, a competitive seven-week program in which
interns often work overtime during their work placement, the bank
confirmed.
Thousands of men in central Pennsylvania received shocking news in the
mail this summer: their tests for prostate-specific antigen, an
indicator of cancer, may have been inaccurate.
Pinnacle Health
of Harrisburg, Pa., sent letters to 7,500 patients to inform them of a
faulty chemical in the tests used to measure levels of the protein
secreted by their prostate glands. It showed higher levels of the
protein than were actually present.
