I am a RN in a hospital and have noticed a trend where 3 of my co workers husbands do not work. They call themselves stay at home dads. These girls are tired, misreable and their husbands are just freaking lazy. One of them works nite shift and her husband golfs in the day time and she has to stay awake until he gets home to take care of the kids. She comes to work exhausted and suffering from lack of sleep. The other one is trying to breast feed an infant and work nites while her husband claims he cannot get a job. I am afraid out of exhaustion these girls are going to make a mistake at work. I feel obliged to tell them I do not feel safe working with them unless they are getting proper rest, so their husband needs to get jobs. What do you think?

My daughters is 11 years old and latety has had a sore wrist, her doctor did lab and xray. Lab came back normal but with strep showing up, but the doctor was looking for Juvenile R Arthritis. So today we saw a rhemetoligest he spend an hour telling us that it could still be JRA but at it earlist so not detected in the blood yet. Then he said from the xray that they could see some air pocket or calcifacation or something(he was a little hard to understand). He gave us a splint with a cold pack in it for sleeping and anti-inflamatory narporsyn. He said with any luck this will resolve itself by taking it easy that posibly it could have just been strained. What in the world is all the fuss about this? I just took her in for a sore wrist? Should I worry or should I just settle down I don't know how to feel.

I have had the same symptoms before and I went to the doctor about it. He seemed to think it was a fairly common problem and that it would go away in time (which it did). It's back again (over a year later) and it burns after the pee comes out of my penis, and I feel the need to pee on a frequent basis.

Previously, the doctor believed my problem was related to masturbation. And he didn't prescribe anything as it was already clearing up by the time I met with him (it lasted about 3 or 4 days).

I found on the net that it could possibly be an aggravated urethra, or a result of strenuous masturbation. It has been about a day and I'm hoping it will clear up. In addition to the burning, particles (of semen?) come out sometimes when I can only pee very little. The particles are sometimes red with blood, soft, and small. I'm a virgin, but I masturbate often (every day at least). Has this crap happened to anyone else?

Hurts like hell!! I'm drinking lots of water... any tips?

My Father has had a stroke and he knows all of us, however he is paralized on the right side. He is having difficulty swallowing because of this and he is trying to talk to us. He mumbles words, but for the most part we cannot understand him. He'll say a whole sentence and use expressions, but the words are all the same when they come out. We want to know what he needs and if he could spell with magnetic alphabet letters. I don't know if he can translate to spelling or not. Pray for us, he is trying so very hard. Any good ideas that folks have tried in the past maybe, would be a blessing for us. He's insulted when we ask him things, however it's all very new (3 weeks ago, Aug 4, 2006) PT's & OT's are working with him in the Nursing Home. He is 85 years old. Thanks to all! God Bless

I'm curious if anyone would know what the cause of this would be. My wife's son seems to cough after laying down for an hour or so, so much so, that sometimes he will vomit. This doesn't happen every night and his temputure is normal and he's very healthly. I'm just curious why he'll have these coughing spells. After he vomits (if he vomits), he's fine, perfect, having fun, running around doing his normal thing. Also what is weird is that she sleeps with him in her bed, when this coughing spell happens, however, sometimes she'll remove him from the bed and bring him out to the living room, lay out a soft blanket and if he's still asleep when she moves him he'll just continue to sleep with no problems. Anyone ever experience this with their children?

Could it be:

An ear infection?
Allergy?
Pneumonia?

Normal responses will be take him to the doctor, I understand this and she is on Thursday but before she does I just wanted to ask if anyone has ever experienced this?

You know, I have heard all my life about dentists being at such risk for commiting suicide, but I also keep hearing that it's a myth. I've just done a few searches for "dentist suicide," "dentist suicide rate," and "dentist suicide statistics," and I'm just not finding anything relevant.

Can someone actually cite a study - even ONE study - or provide me with a link that supports the popular claim that dentists have a high risk of suicide?

Thanks.

Would anyone mind being my weight loss partner. I'm trying to lose weight, but I think it would be easier if I had someone to kind of encourage me, and maybe give me some tips, and in turn I would do the same. I think it would be fun. IM me if you do. My im is on my Q and A page. Thanks.
