Doctors: Most 9-11 workers still ailing By AMY WESTFELDT AP
NEW YORK -- Most ground zero workers still suffer from health problems two years after Sept. 11 and many do not have health insurance or job security, doctors told a congressional panel Tuesday.
Several of the workers testified at a Manhattan hospital before the committee, saying they had trouble breathing, suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and no longer had the strength to do their old jobs.
'I can't tell you how hard it is living like this,' said David Rapp, a construction worker who spent five months at the World Trade Center site and now always carries an oxygen tank and uses three inhalers. 'The fear of not being able to take my next breath is unbearable.'------------------------------------------- posted 10:07 PM :: reference link ::
