Health - 13 February 2007

It's been like this for a few days, and it just sort of happened. I tried holding my nose and blowing but it just closes up again. Ideas please?

I had pain in my lower right abdomen in january for 7 days. I went to the ER because I don't have medical insurance and someone told me they are good at working payment arrangments. I just got a bill for over 5 thousand dollars in the mail. I called and they said they would send me the paper work via mail to apply for payment arrangments, but I couldn't set it up over the phone. My question is, how good are hospitals (mine is in California) at working with people who don't have medical insurance and have a limited income? I am a full time graduate student so this may be difficult to pay back..

We are considering closing the practice to emergencies. In other words, if you are not a patient of record, you can not call with a toothache and expect to be seen "today."

It seems cold to consider this, but it is also inconsiderate to my regular patients who have waited some weeks for their appointment time to let someone upset the whole applecart because they didn't take proper care of themself.

Have any of you done this and what is your experience or advice?

I don't imagine I'll be choosing a "best" answer, as I am just looking for as many opinions as I can find, so this will probably just go to the vote of the masses. Maybe one will emerge as a winner though...

if diet pills really worked then every one who took them would be skinny. Ive my self have tried slim fast and ended up gaining weight from it. when you read the can you can see why. most diet pills are either have water pills in them or laxatives. and caffeine and Ive seen some diet pills sell as high as $200. i believe the few that it does work for either wasnt that much over weight or they needed a mental boost.

What diets have you tried and did they work for you?
here is the one im doing now http://99half.com/diet.aspx its not really a diet just a list of how foods work and it seems to be working for me. but then again all diets seem to work the first week. we will see how it works in the long run.

I eat three good meals a day and snacks and sweets and beer and while I am extremely conscious of my diet and I exercize a lot I am very skinny ( I'm naturally thin, but I got skinny from extreme dieting but now I eat normal again and have for 6+ months)

I don't understand why I see people eating so little and they are normal size or fat, like they'll have a salad with no dressing for lunch and I have a big sandwich and chips?? Or people who are working out at the gym who are bigger?

Why aren't these people as skinny as me? It makes me feel kinda guilty...

I am 14 years old, my friends tell me I am so petite, but I look in the mirror, and all I see is fat, fat hanging over, and I get so mad, and go on the tredmill for like 3 hours, and I would stop eating, for like 3 days.
Do you think I am fat?

should i be worried? i dont have asthma and am not obese.

All I ate today was some steamed chicken breast with vegetables and a bowl of cereal for breakfast, Tyson chicken nuggets for dinner. I was on the treadmill for about 30 minutes and burned 250 calories according to the treadmill. Now I know that I took in way more calories than 250. Even if I was on for an hour, that would only be 500. I am pooped.

the doctor never said but my mom's friend told her that you can't have sex if you've had the vaccine.
