        AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to  the  distribution
          of information to patients at high risk of developing lymphedema
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. The public health law is amended by adding  a  new  section
     2  2803-v to read as follows:
     3    §  2803-v. Lymphedema information distribution. 1. For the purposes of
     4  this section, the term "lymphedema" shall mean an accumulation of  fluid
     5  in  the interstitial tissue that causes swelling, most often in the arms
     6  and/or legs, and occasionally in other  parts  of  the  body,  from  any
     7  cause.
     8    2.  The  commissioner shall design an informational packet about lymp-
     9  hedema and shall require that every  general  hospital  distribute  such
    10  packet  to all patients at high risk of developing lymphedema.  Patients
    11  deemed high risk shall include:
    12    (a) patients who experience any significant injury to soft tissue that
    13  could reasonably be expected, using sound medical judgment, as a  result
    14  of severity and nature thereof, to compromise or cause to be ineffective
    15  the drainage of the lymphatic system;
    16    (b)   patients   who  experience  recurrent  or  persistent  bacterial
    17  infections that could reasonably be expected, using sound medical  judg-
    18  ment, as a result of severity and nature thereof, to compromise or cause
    19  to be ineffective the drainage of the lymphatic system; or
    20    (c)  patients  who  have  had corrective surgical procedures performed
    21  that may have interfered with the lymph drainage by severing local lymp-
