Health - 8 February 2007

About a month ago, my husband went to the E.R. because while he was at work (he's a mechanic), a tiny piece of metal went into his eye. Unfortunately we don't have health insurance, so we knew we were gonna get a bill in the mail. Well, while he was at the hospital, they took a look at his eye, put a little solution in it, and told him that they didn't have the proper tools to remove the metal so they set him up an appointment at another hospital with a doctor who could remove the metal for the next morning. The next day he went, they removed the metal, and he paid right then (a little over $200). Well, we received a bill in from the FIRST hospital because he did go to the ER and it was for $571!! Then another bill from that same FIRST hospital for $435! When I called they said one bill was hospital fees, the other was doctor fees. This seems outrageous because they didn't even do anything for him! I can understand a fee, but this high?? What do you think?

Im doing some research on the excretory system and i was wondering what would happen if somebody ignored the feeling of having to go use the washroom for a long period of time(say a couple weeks if even possible).Would they get sick?

I amd 28 and I recently left a dream job that I just started, I still dont know why I left. Social anexiety, didnt want to see people in bad financial situations, not sure. It was a mortgage job that payed $150k but probably would have make $200k or more. I am having a hard time finding any job that pays even 100k or that I would like to do.

I wanted to be successful my whole life, I feel like I failed. I havnt had a girl friend in years and dont know if i will any time soon which also makes me depressed.

I just want to make a decent amount of money and leave it for my mom and go away. What do you think?

i turned vegetarian about a month and a half ago and im still not too used to it so i get very hungry very often. like i have to eat something every hour when i come home from school. today i had two chocolate chip waffles, two bowls of salad, 5 grilled shrimps, 2 special k cereal bars, half a grapefruit and 6 strawberries and this was only afterschool. for breakfast i had two small pancakes and for lunch i had a casaer salad with no chicken or anything. obviously i eat a whole lot and i am also trying to lose weight but nothing fills me up. i try to eat healthy foods alot. if i eat a lot of these kinds of healthy food, will i gain? or lose because of my change in lifestyle and exercise? or stay the same? i cant help nothing fills me and i really want to lose at least 10 pounds. thankssss

This is kinda weird, but my boyfriend is coming home from Kuwait after 4 months, in a couple weeks and I wanted to suprise him with something new down there. I usually shave completely. Do most guys like it clean shaven or a little landing strip or more? Since I am usually all bare, shoud I do something different?

but i think i'm a tad bit addicted to knowing the outcome of diet pill products. i just got off stacker 3 because it was messing with me really bad (not just jitters, but headaches, shortness of breath, etc.) and i keep seeing that zantrex-3 commercial and i was wanting to try it. how long should i wait to switch pills after quitting the old one AND do any of you know if zantrex-3 is all it's said to be? i do exercise atleast 30 minutes a day and i've been low-cal and low-fat eating for three days. i need some personal experienced reviews, fast!

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what's happening, but just wanted to check eith you, folks.
I started having itchy vagina. The it started burning a bit. I though it was candida, but it's not. Anywho, it burns and itches, does not smell, and I have no problems with urinating. My boyfrined does not have any viruses.
It's the 2nd day I am using a vaginal moisturizer. Feels so much better.
What else can that be, if can?

Thank you :).

Confidence is something I've always lacked.

Now its starting to get on my nerves a little as a new year of college has started and I really want to make alot of new friends. But the problem is I dont have the confidence to talk to others who Ive hardly meet. in other words im very shy.

And on the other hand im even strugling to talk with ma mates. I mean ive got jokes comeing out from everywere, but dont say them as im scared that they may not get the joke and then it will leave me bummed out.

Is there anyway at all to lift my confidence without seeking proffesinal help????

Please help
