Can anyone tell me what this is
I am making an appointment with my dentist soon ( I got to get this insurance stuff taken care of first) but I am kind of worried. It doesn't hurt or anything but I dont want to take any risk. Thanks for help.
No stethoscope, electrocardiagrams for everyone?
My hematologist of more than a quarter century, other than having a soft touch for writing prescriptions to drug addicts (which is why he was shut down by the State) was one of the most decent people I ever trusted with my health. I saw few other doctors during that time, as he had treated me for (and cured) a life-threatening disease when I was a kid, and subsequently taken the role of my GP - therefore, I don't really know what to think of some of the different rules which newer doctors play by.
There's a GP now who I saw recently who, other than being so young it's hard to believe they let him out of school, is very thorough, dedicated, listens to my whining, etc. What I don't get is that he doesn't seem to so much as own a stethoscope, but he did, without any cardiac complaints, order an electrocardiagram. I was wondering why he would run such a time-consuming, and expensive test (I am on prescriptions for thyroid and blood pressure, but they work - the blood pressure checked out fine), when the technician who ran the test informed me that he does this with everybody. Really? It cost me an extra $20 insurance copay for this, therefore I want to know if other doctors consider this shotgun electrocardiagram practice appropriate.
I am also curious about the apparent de-emphasis on stethoscope use (this wasn't the first GP who I had recently seen which didn't use one).
I would appreciate your thoughts on the above.
Mono, thyroid help
Has anyone experience an enlarged thyroid with mono? The doc says i have mono but i have an englarged thyroid too...
Help im such a wimp
HELP !!
I have to tell someone that we dont want to carry on a business arrangement with them on Monday .......
We have a business arrangement with this person who is over powering, bossy, rude and embarrasses me when there are a crowd of people around. So i decided to terminate our business arrangement which will also terminate any personal friendship i thought we had.
But im totally scared stiff. I dont know where to start, what to say, and how to say it. Im losing sleep over this, i dont know how to be assertive and firm, without it becoming a fight. (she is very agressive). What do i do??
Brown hair, blond eye brows and facial hair
I have dark brown hair but for some bizarre reason my eye brows and facial hair is bright blond. I'm 24 and I've always shaved my stubble so I never really noticed this oddity but lately I've been trying to grow a beard so its become blatantly obvious. Dark brown hair and a blond beard haha. My pubic hair and armpit hair is brown so I don't know why the hell my facial hair and eyebrows are blond. Is this kinda thing rare? I've never seen anyone with a beard thats a different colour to the hair on their head.
Stange car sickness
Hello. I’m 18 years old and I have car sickness. My car sickness manifests itself before the ride even starts. For example, if in a week’s time I would be leaving town for holiday, one day before the trip I feel ill, nauseated and very weak, the state amplfying itself on the day of the departure. The nausea is very srong so that before getting into the car I feel the need to vomit. If I don’t know I have to leave somewhere I still feel ill. Another example is when I leave for shopping, I don’t feel nauseated right away, but as quickly as I smell the car emanation(not fuel smell) I feel ill and vomit. I don’t really feel ill because the car wouldn’t be clean inside. Further more, my family changed four cars until now. Every time the first month was great, I wouldn’t feel sick, but after a while I would get used to the smell of the car and feel sick again. I can’t stand any car freshner. During the ride I have a weak condition and nausea. Before I get in the car I am a bit scared, my heart beats faster and, unfortunately, I vomit. It’s not really a car sickness due to the inner ear and loss of balance because I feel sick before getting into the car. I believe this is a case of fear of feeling ill and then I feel ill. What can I do? I'm desperate...
general just not feeling well
I have kind of a scratchy throat, slight acheyness, tired most of the day, slight cough.. I just feel kind of crumby
1/2 RX pill stuck in throat, what do I do?
i was given a medicine from my doctor and told to take 1/2 pill each day for 2 days, then take 1 pill each night b4 I went to sleep. I took the first one this evening, broke it in half by chewing it in two. The pill was rock hard on the outside. I took plenty of water b4, during and after yet it got stuck in my throat about 3 inches down into the esophagus...my guess is that the sharp edge got stuck in my throat. I have tried almost everything, from licorice, rice cakes, butter, olive oil and several others, including salt water and trying to make myself sick. I have gagged several times and thrown up small amounts. What do I do?
Frozen Shoulder & Cortisone Shot?
I hear it's supposed to help for pain but does the cortisone shot also help give range of motion? Has anyone done it for Frozen Shoulder - your experience please? thanks!
not sure what is going on
Hello,
I'm starting to get a little worried. It started with a sinus infection that led to a right ear infection about 2 months ago. My GP put me on antibiotics again (i have a hx of recurring sinus problems). This time with my ear infection I developed a achy tightness on the right side of my neck which i assumed was swollen glands. What worried me soon after was my lab work, which has consistently showing my wbc count on the low side of normal (4.7-4.8, range is 4.5-10.0). My diff labs such as neutrophils, lymphs and monos are all mid range and have stayed solidly there. I get my blood drawn once a month to check my liver enzymes (3 wks ago just got off crestor for cholesterol because my dr. said it was making me sick.)
What worries me know is that I still have the swelling on the right side of my neck; it comes and goes, especially flares up when I'm stressed. My body temp is unusually low, as I range anywhere from 97.5-98.5. My hands and feet have been cold a lot lately which is not me at all. I have had a sleep problem for a long time so my sleep schedule varies. I have been also experiencing noticeable fatigue usually every other afternoon and this is also unusual for me.
can anyone offer me any help?
Thanks,
how do you get a dent out of your leg
i have a dent in my left leg and i actually know why. I bumped my leg against a Corbet a few months back. I was all swollen and had a big bump. After a few weeks the bump went away and left my leg with a big dent. That is how i got it. How does a person get rid of it, that is the quiestion
