The North County Foot and Ankle Difference

What makes North County Foot and Ankle stand out from other foot and ankle doctors in Valley Center? Unlike some foot doctors, our podiatrists work with a client-first mentality. When you walk through our front doors, the time you spend in our office is all about you. We believe in a strong physician-patient relationship fortified by one-on-one attention and honest communication.

Before offering foot pain treatment options, we perform a thorough evaluation, taking into account your individual needs, goals, and preferences. Once that's done, we'll discuss your treatment options in detail and come to a mutual decision regarding the best treatment plan for you.

Whether you have a minor hangnail or need complex surgery, you will receive the same level of compassionate care from our medical team. As board-certified podiatrists in Valley Center, our doctors are proud to treat you. You can rest easy knowing they will take the time to explain what's causing your foot pain, what treatments are best suited to your problem, and what steps you should take after treatment.

And while our podiatrists are uniquely qualified to perform surgery, we often recommend non-surgical options, using treatments like orthotics to relieve foot, arch, and heel pain. From sports injuries and bunions to gout and blisters, we're here to help you live life to the fullest without nagging, debilitating foot pain.

Terra-Gen: Faulty sprinkler system forced the decommissioning of stolen Valley Center LG batteries

The malfunctioning of a sprinkler system forced the decommissioning of the LG batteries which were eventually stolen from Terra-Gen’s Valley Center BESS in California, the company told Energy-Storage.news.

As we reported last week, the battery packs were taken from the site after having been decommissioned and placed on pallets awaiting transportation. While this resolved the question around how they were taken in the first place, it raised the arguably as-important issue of why they were taken offline just a year or less after the system was deployed.

In response to a request for comment about this, a spokesperson for Terra-Gen told Energy-Storage.news:

“In response to your inquiry about why the battery packs were decommissioned just one year after the system was energized, in April of 2022, a sensor system fault triggered the water-based protection systems resulting in the batteries in question to be taken out of service.”

Sprinklers going off when they shouldn’t have were behind arguably the most high-profile battery overheating incident to-date – the incident which took offline the Moss Landing battery energy storage system (BESS) in California.

A report found it was most likely due to a programming error that the Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) triggered the spray of water at a threshold of smoke detection below what should have been required, project owner Vistra Energy said.

An insurance source recently pointed to this happening on other occasions too, telling Energy-Storage.news that sprinklers can sometimes cause more harm than they prevent.

Terra-Gen’s clarification coincides with a guest blog published this week about fire safety and energy storage from executives at Energy Safety Response Group (ESRG) and Finland-based power solutions firm Wärtsilä. In it, they wrote about the need for a systems-level approach to fire safety rather than a narrow focus on battery cells themselves.

Energy-Storage.news’ publisher Solar Media will host the 5th Energy Storage Summit USA, 28-29 March 2023 in Austin, Texas. Reporter Cameron Murray will be attending both days.

Featuring a packed programme of panels, presentations and fireside chats from industry leaders focusing on accelerating the market for energy storage across the country. For more information, go to the website.

Original Story:

A Valley Center 2-year-old boy who just celebrated his birthday was hospitalized Wednesday after being kicked in the head by a horse.

Hudson, 2, was rushed to Rady Children's Hospital on March 29 by ground from Valley Center as air transportation due to inclement weather was prohibited, Lauren Decker, a family friend, told CBS 8.

"He sustained a massive skull fracture which resulted in a severe brain injury with bleeding and bruising," Decker said.

Decker told CBS 8 that although the surgical efforts to repair some damage to Hudson's brain were successful, he did not wake up from sedation and was kept in a "safe state" until doctors were ready to attempt to wake him again.

Hudson was last said to be in critical condition.

A digital scan of Hudson's head posted on a GoFundMe created for him showed his skull severely cracked in the top portion of his head, where the horse kicked him.

The circumstances surrounding the incident are unknown at this time.

Hudson's mother, Tyra Martinez, grew up in San Marcos, California, and loved horses.

Martinez graduated from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science and a minor in Equine Reproduction and currently works as a Veterinary Technician, according to their farm website.

"This is a horrific accident where one split second changed the course of not one but four people's lives," Decker said.

Decker said doctors would make additional attempts to ween Hudson off sedation and wake him up in the coming nights.
