hey what i was think is that we could use brooke's moms Work to film at. and use her mom for the interview. We could go through the office and see what they do to get rid of their medical waste. Also what the world is doing to get rid of medical waste.

RG ,medical waste- body parts, blood, blood products,needles/syringes stitches, casts, scalpels, animal corpse, isolation wastes: like highly contagious diseases, iv bags __cradle-to-grave management__- waste that is segregated, packaged, labeled, and tracked from and to waste site. special containers segregate medical waste in doctors offices and hospitals or anywhere medical waste occurs. lots of medical waste like syringes used for diabetes or drugs are thrown out or flushed down the toilet which eventually drains into the ocean and rivers. many practices that dispose of medical waste use sterilization or incineration. but incinerating the waste creates air pollution, although it does kill any contagious diseases. also waste is compacted, microwaved mechanical or chemically disenfected. when are we going to film? so this is strictly medical waste and what is being done about the waste?   what is our movie about other than waste. what are we going to talk about?

RG yeah that works for me, i work until 4 though.  **There has not been much work considering you had two work days in class last week. I get that you are done with school, but this is a HUGE deal. If you are not really going to make an effort, let me know now rather than prolong the agony. If you are really going to do this, then get on the ball. I will help you with whatever you need. Just ask. Shaw 4.27.09**

BS i can interview my mom whenever, robbie do you have a videocamera? cause i don't think i do.

chad did you add more to the questions list? I think we should add a few more, so if you didn't let me no so i can get more. i was thinking for the video that we could at first we could just explain what medical waste is, and just facts and info about that, then go in to what my moms work is, then go into the interview, but i don't no if thatll be 15 min?
 * Medical waste**, also known as **clinical waste**, normally refers to waste products that cannot be considered general waste, produced from healthcare premises, such as hospitals, clinics, doctors offices, labs and nursing homes.In 1988 the Federal government passed The Medical Waste Tracking Act which set the standards for governmental regulation of medical waste. After the repeal of the act, States were given the responsability to regulate and pass laws concerning the disposal of medical waste. All fifty states vairy in their regulations from no regulations to very strict.Disposal of this waste is an __[|environmental]__ concern, as many medical wastes are classified as //infectious// or //biohazardous// and could potentially lead to the spread of __[|infectious disease]__. Examples of infectious waste include __[|blood]__, potentially contaminated "__[|sharps]__" such as needles and __[|scalpels]__, and identifiable body parts. Infectious waste is often __[|incinerated]__.The most common method of sterilization is an autoclave. The autoclave uses steam and pressure to sterilize the waste. The preferred method for body parts is incineration. Additionally, medical facilities produce a variety of waste hazardous__[|chemicals]__, including __[|radioactive]__ materials. While such wastes are normally not infectious, they may be classified as __[|hazardous wastes]__, and require proper disposal.


 * Maybe we should add that medical tracking act in our video to, just explain what it is and stuff.

CG Yea that would be good i think we need to get together on weekend and just get all of are footage and then we can just work on editing during class i now how to work imovie and i pretty good with it soo i could do a lot when im in class we just have to get the footage.

Hey also about what shaw said are we going to do this video or our we just going to blow it off. we should do it, it will help a little and this isnt really that hard to do sooo.

RG i have a video camera that we can use. umm as far as getting this done, we need to do it at least i do. i think maybe if we do everything that brooke has listed we should have a good 15 min movie. when we get together we can figure it out a little better. but we also need a commercial at 45sec. Are we interviewing brooke's mom for the commercial or in the movie.

 BS i need to do this project, i think we should do a commercial on like, waste managment, like what could happen if people don't recycle medical waste, or somthing like that. should the commercial should be before or after the interview? chad i wanna get those questions, i think we should meet up real soon, cause isn't this due next friday? okay so for the movie = intro to medical waste, what it is, what my moms work is, interview, commercial, talk about medical waste track act, conclusion? i dunno seems like 15 minutes i think we'll be good. we should try and get our filming done in like a day, so we could just edit it and stuff next week so we have everything we need, now we just need to do it? did we hand in a story board? ohhhh and do we need a bib? CG Yes brooke we do need a bib that get turned in the day the movi is do.

CG Ok we are getting together on sunday me and brooke. so robbie if you can give me a call we will probly be at brookes 484-256-2856 ill let you now where we are on sunday just give me a call and we can do this movie get it done and then edit.

RG yeah i have to work sunday from 10:30 to 3:30 so would you wanna do some before and after or just do all of it after i get off work. i dont think we handed a story board in so we're a little behind the eight ball. brooke i like the commercial idea.

 BS my moms work isn't open on sunday, but she has the keys so we can just do that. i think we should do it after robbie's work cause i don't want to get up that early. then after we film ill just take the camera so i can put everything on this computer in the morning monday. i don't realy no how to work that movie thing, but chad you said you do? i got 3 sources for the bib. so far, i can do the whole bib its not a problem, how many do we need? CG Ok so sunday sometime brooke i will call you sunday and maybe we can get startsed and then robbie can come down. Yea i now how to wok the imovie and can probly edit the movie in like three days and have it completed before friday.

BS im going to interveiw my mom today, and chad im going to get those little effect things that we were talking about. did you get stuff on the commercial? im almost done with the script so we can do that tomorrow or sometime were all free. CG Yea we are just going to do like a commercial like what will happen if medical waste isnt taken care of propelrly.

i dont work until thursday so im pretty much free after school. n i have the camera with all the connections. all we need to do is film all of the 15 min movie and film the commercial before we bring it into the mac for imovie.

BS i got the interveiws last night, we have to edit it because my mom was making it difficult, so all we need to do now is the commercial and intro? i guess just let me know when you want to do it, we should prolly do it like today or tomorrow. iii just had an idea for the commercial, were doing it on what happens if you don't recylce right? well we could have someone rummaging through the trash for some reason and they get stuck with a needle, i dunno its sounding good in my head so ill tell you's about it later. CG I will edit then when its on the computer. The thing is, if the movie isnt 15 min long that ok because it will get some point better than a 0.

that sounds good for the commercial. i free so when ever you wanna get together and get this done. im in the position where all i need is better than a zero so im not to concerned if we dont have all 15 min. i like the intro on imovie. //http://gaiasolutions.net/Documents/HOKUTO%20Hydrothermal%20Treatment%20(4).pdf// look at this web site and see what japan does about medical waste and all kinds of waste.

 //BS// okay, so robbie you work tomorrow so we should do it today? i dunno no if i can do it today because i have to go to the courthouse, i don't know what time thats at though. i left the camera on the desk, shaw told me you sat here chad. i also have alot of information like 3 pages of medical waste, i have the bib, theres only 4 sources, how many do we need? i found this website, its about steps to correctly recycleing medical waste. http://www.h2e-online.org/docs/h2e10steprmw20103.pdf CG Ok brooke just let me no when we are going to get this done even if we get it done thursday i can edit like a crazy person to get it done by friday.

BS i guess i can do it today, but i can only do it till 430. so after tech you wanna come right over after tech, mrs shaw just said this project is due monday now, so this is good for us. i still think we should get a little done today. i just got 3 more bib. stuff so im pretty sure thats good, but i think im gonna get 10 just to make sure. CG ok well just call me so we can all get together to do this and just get it done! **
