Health - 4 November 2006

Anyone who uses NHS services knows - and greatly appreciates - what nurses do. But do you know that these hoards of executives get paid ten times more than nurses? But what do they actually do to earn it? Apparently they 'attend meetings' !! The current NHS crisis is proof positive that they do very little else. At around £280K a year they still need to pay 'business consultants' - at £20K a day - to tell them how to do the job! When I worked in the real world of industry, anyone who fell down on the job was promptly booted out! But this lot get 'performance bonuses'!! It seems that these days bungling incompetance and ineptitude are lavishly rewarded! So what would you do to sort out the NHS - other than the obvious first step of booting out all these executives and taking on more trained nurses.

I am a domestic abuse survivor. I have been abused for 18years mentally, physically and sexually. My step dad was a control freak and kept me in my room. I never had any friends and I wasn't allowed to talk on the phone. I get panic attacks..anxiety attacks, hot flashes, back flashes. Chest pain, heart pain when I am around people. I have a hard time talking to people and making friends. I try to be myself but I still haven't made any friends. Ihave been to councelling all the time and I suffer from mounds of depression and sadness from my lost childhood. How do I cope?

I feel turned up by breast firm looking and by the line separating them. And not by open bare breasts. do other men also feel the same? Do women agree to this?

I have been emotional for the last few weeks, there have been past events that i have been thinkin of such as how supportive my parents have been but I misjudged them at the time.

I have so many times that I wanted to break down and cry, but I can't seem to get any tears out.

What does this mean? I don't understand it, I used to be able to cry whenever I needed to.

My sister is always complaining that after eating (a light or heavy meal), her stomach seems to be full of gas. Could you recommend any food she should include in her daily meal that would help in expelling gas from her tummy and intestines? Her doctor prescribed PANKREOFLAT (pancreatin + dimeticone), to be taken after every meal and she religiously follows. Are there certain foods that she could eat to palliate her condition?

I keep getting numb in my legs and feeling sick. I also keep dwelling on past events for no reason, been happening every day now. Also I can only sleep for about 7 hours and no more. I never used to be like that, i could sleep in afternoons too.

Does that mean I have anxiety. I don't really want to take pills though.
