How do you find out if somebody has been a mental hospital patient?
My guess is that it's virtually imposssible to find this out for sure, which would require access to the records of the hospital or the doctor. If the person was hospitalized by court order, however, you might get at least some hints to this by checking the recordss of the local court clerk or clerks. To do this, phone that office and ask how a person goes about searching a person's court history. In principle at least, these are available to the public. ANSWER
IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO THE PERSON TO THE POINT THAT YOU COULD HELP IN SOME WAY, JUST ASK THEM. IF YOU ARE NOT CLOSE TO THEM AND ONLY WANT TO KNOW BECAUSE OF SOME UNFOUNDED FEARS OR YOU ARE JUST PLAIN NOSY, MAYBE YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW OR JUST NOT BOTHER YOURSELF WITH SOMETHING THAT IS VERY PERSONAL TO THAT PERSON.

Significance- Intrauterine drug exposure is associated with an increased risk of prematurity, small gestational age, cardiac abnormalities, low birth weight, central nervous system stroke and hemorrhage, according to the journal "Clinical Chemistry."
- Long lasting effects of intrauterine drug use on a fetus may result in abnormal sleep patterns, feeding problems, abnormal cognitive and behavioral development, increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and difficulty with social interactions.
- No legislation has been enacted regarding mandatory drug testing of newborns in any of the 50 states or the District of Columbia, according to a national survey of state maternal and newborn drug-testing and reporting policies.
- A physician who is primarily responsible for the infant, such as a pediatrician, may order a newborn drug test if they believe intrauterine drug use has occurred. A combination of maternal history, newborn clinical symptoms and toxicology testing of the mother should be considered before performing a newborn drug test.
- Meconium is the dark substance that is passed through a newborn's rectum the first few days after birth until milk-based stools develop. According to arupconsult.com, it is the preferred method of drug testing because it can detect any drug use that has occurred within the last 4 to 5 months of pregnancy.

Why 70 percent Isopropyl alcohol is preferred hand disinfectant Why not 60 or 80 percent?
as an antiseptic, 70 percent of alcohol is prefered to a stonger solution. Pure alcohol coagulates protein in contact. Suppose the pure alcohol is poured ovr a single celled organism. Th alcohol will penetrate the cell wall of the organism in all direction, coagulating the protein just inside the cell wall. the ring of the coagulated protein would then prevent the alcohol from penetrating farther from the cell, and no more coagulation woul take place. At this time the cell would become dormant butnot dead. under the proper condition the cell would then begin to function. if 70 percent of alcohol is poured to a single celled organism, the diluted alcohol also coagulates the protein, but at a slower rate, so that it penetrates all the way through the cell before coagulation can block it. then all the cell is coagulated and the organism dies.
