Natural Gas Industry hamstrings Doctors in Pennsylvania

[badtoworse]

22. Has it even happened where a doctor needed to know the makeup of fracking fluid to treat a patient?

If it has, I'm not aware of it and I follow what's going on with natural gas.

There are lots of industrial products that you could make the same argument about. Do you know what those rail tank cars running through your neighborhood are carrying and what you might be exposed to in a derailment? How about that 18 wheeler that just past you on the interstate? What happens if that overturns and dumps its load? What about the household chemicals you've got under the sink? Exposure to many of them could make you very sick or kill you. Assuming you were exposed and had to be treated in the ER, the ER staff would likely have to go through the exact same exercise they would if fracking fluid made you sick. Existing right to know laws cover these situations quite well and have done so for decades. There is no reason why fracking fluid should be special.
