| Louisiana Couple's Honeymoon Cruise Turns into Medical Nightmare |
 |
Even though norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships are often national front page news and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention carefully tracks the cruise line industry’s sanitary practices and incidences of acute gastrointestinal illness. But the CDC does not keep statistics for acute injuries or overall patient visits on the vessels. The American College of Emergency Physicians has guidelines for cruise ship medical facilities and staff, and those have been adopted by the Cruise Lines International Association, or CLIA, as official policy for its members, including Norwegian – but they are just guidelines and not requirements.

| Widow of Orange Park Conductor Sues Amtrak |
|
The widow of a 36-year-old Orange Park Amtrak conductor has filed suit against the passenger rail company after her husband died Sunday when his train slammed into a stopped freight train near Cayce, S.C. Christine Cella, whose husband, Michael Cella, died along with 54-year-old engineer Michael Kempf of Savannah, Ga., also sued CSX Transportation as well as Amtrak for negligence in a 14-page complaint filed Thursday, according to attorney Howard Spier. The lawsuit says the Amtrak train “was improperly and unexpectedly diverted” onto a side track by means of a switch that “was negligently and recklessly misaligned and locked in the reverse position” by one or more employees.
