Picture this:

You accidentally stepped into broken glass. Your foot got cut. Big and small pieces of glass entered your wound.

My question is: Can a really small piece of glass enter, say your vein, and then travel to your heart? Can it cut then through tissue?

:) Thanks... Just wondering...

Do you think they gossip about their patients and laugh at their embarrassing conditions. Have you ever over heard your doctor joking about you?

Why must people smoke, I mean they make ya breath stink, ya lungs dirty, and then you die. Not to mention ugly skin, black lips, and cratters. They make people look unattractive inside and out, and most smokers smell. Instead of a ciggerate pick up some nicorrete.

I've been curious to know why we as humans can become so emotional about a dying animal on TV or a sad movie, yet if someone we know or in our family is very ill or dies we may not show tears or emotion as much?
I just ask this because a friend of mine gets very emotional about movies etc. but when her grandmother(whom she was very close to) died she didn't seem sad or emotional. Was she just in shock perhaps?

I was wondering if a normal pelvic ultrasound detects prostate cancer. My prostate was checked in an ultrasound about a month ago and it was normal. I'm wondering because I've had a lot of prostate problems and I'm only in my 20's. I knew a guy who was only 28 that had prostate cancer.

I found out this week that I am able to get a brand new insulin pump as the warranty has expired on my old one (IR1000 by Animas). I like the one I have, but I also want to try out the new one (IR 1250). It seems to have soooooooo many more features that the older one doesn't have. I was wondering if anyone is using this one, and if so do you like it? Is there anything you don't like about it? What do you like about it? Is it smaller than other pumps (if you have had others to compare it to; it says it is smaller than the one I have now)? I am excited to get this one and want to know what others think of it before I get it.

I'm 15 and 5 months, and I'm 5, 5. I see a lot of kids that are taller than me, and it sort of makes me feel insecure. I was wondering if there were any sports that could help me to grow taller?
