Assume I eat one-third of a peeled banana, every day, for my entire life. Is there any "part" of the average banana that is "better" for me from a nutritional standpoint? By that, I mean, does the top third (nearest the stem) have more nutrients than the bottom third, or the middle of the fruit? Or is the nutritional value dispersed evenly throughout?

How do you cope? What type of pain management do you do? This past week I was in agony. I couldn't function without medication. Then, I just slept. Thankfully, I could just rest and have my family care for my 13 mo. old daughter all week. My doctor wants me to start physical therapy this week.

This is a bit of a gross problem but the doctors think I have IBS. After I get bad attacks of the runs I sometimes see a bit of blood on the tissue. Could this just be from irritation of wiping too much cuz sometimes I have to go to the bathroom every 10 mins after a meal.

I always like to play the flute. Everytime I play for a competition, or try out for something, I always get nervous. Like when I play the flute in a competition and I get nervous, I always play really fast and sloppy with the notes. And when I try out for stuff--like last year I tried out for Flag Cor. for my school's marching band, I got so nervous and dropped the flag. What can I do to overcome my nervousness??

In the USA, emergency medical providers that work in the pre-hospital setting are generally overseen, governed, and dictated to by nurses! Why??? In many other countries like South Africa, nurse are generally one step above housekeepers and are in no way allowed to interject their ideas into the world of EMS.

It is very gross to go into a stall and have to clean it before I can use it. Even when toilet seat covers are provided I find this. It is not just once in a while either. And I don't have the luxury of waiting til I get home, as I only see home about every six weeks! It is so bad I have begun carrying baby wipes everywhere. Women, please, clean up after yourselves!

We had a football game last night and one of our players had a concussion and i had to take his place in the game. He was taken away in the ambulance which came right to the sidelines to get him. They had to cut his jersey off to get his pads off. He came to the sidelines and he looked terrible. he has had histories of concussions. i saw him today and he said he wont play this friday but maybe in two weeks. i dont know his concussion history but how bad does it sound?

This happened once in fourth grade and a couple of times when I was in sixth grade ( I am now in 6th). It is happening increasingly. I hate this and need I repeat need to know what to do.

I was bitten while sleeping and I have no idea what kind of spider it was....This was months ago....It itched real bad at first, now I have an ugly welt on my hand that won't go away...The doctor said it was probably still full of venom and he could give me a cortizone shot if it was still hurting. ....It doesn't hurt unless I apply pressure to it now, but it bothers me because it is huge and ugly......Any suggestions?

I was recently prescribed Ortho-tricyclen Lo, to help regulate my irregular cycle, and as per my doctor's instructions, I started the pill pack on the first day of my period.

I have since had a 12-day-long period! This is abnormal, even for me, and I wondered if this is just because my body is getting used to the hormones, or what?

Does anyone know if this is something I should be worried about?

(And please don't answer "call your gynecologist". I'm calling her tomorrow, but right now it's 10:30pm. The doctor's office is not open.)
