What to do if all the psychiatrist in the government hospital do not want to see a depression patient? The doctors at CGH & SGH referred the patient to IMH but the patient do not wish to go to IMH to see psychiatrist, so the patient went to TTSH to seek consultation. But the psychiatrist in TTSH refused to see the patient even the patient have no more medication and express to the doctor he do not want to go to IMH to see psychiatrist. What can the patient do without medication and psychiatry treatment?

I was told by a physio that animal milk (cow, goat) is bad for you because of it's high fat and calcium content. We supposedly can only use 10% of the calcium and can only get rid of some of the rest. The remainder is deposited in joints, leading to pain and in arteries leading to heart attacks. The thinking was that cow's milk is made for cows, animals which grow to full size in 2 years as opposed to humans who take 20 years. We therefore shouldnt be drinking something which is so high in fat, protein and minerals, especially since we stop producing the enzyme rennin after we start teething which helps us digest milk. This seems to make sense, but is it true?

I'm only 20 years old and my last period was in December. I've taken two pregnancy tests and they were both negative. I've had some spotting but it only lasts a couple minutes and then stops. What's wrong with me?

Please guide me if I am not doing okay, I feel like giving up because I still look the same. :(

Since early Feb 07, I have been exercising for at least 90 minutes a day everyday (45 min evening and 45 in the morning) using my exercise cycle. But for two or three days a week I can only managed 45 minutes.

When I started out, I weighed about 11.10 stones, now I weigh 11.00 stones. Is this slow progress or am I losing weight at the right pace?

My jeans are starting to get lose, and I keep having to pull them up slightly (I just noticed that recently). But for some reason when I check my arms and thighs they still look wobbly. Still not feeling good when I look in the mirror. I just need a reassurance. ;(

My boyfriend has a cold sore on the inside of his lip, he has gotten them before but this is his first one in ages. I don't want to get it myself so we've been not kissing (so sad) and avoiding drinking out of the same glass etc. Now it's going away but I want to know for how long after it is still infectious? He thinks the actual cold sore will be healed in about 2 days. Any ideas?

I have not been to the dentist in over 15 years. I am going in to my new dentist tomorrow for what she called a "deep cleaning". What exactly will be done to me? Will it be painful? Will I be ok to drive myself home tomorrow?

This may need extreme analysis but I'm wanting to know about people and their aggressive behaviour. My friend and I are nurses and we work in a very stressful unit. She is one of the main charge nurses at night. I have seen her in situations where everything is okay and then someone says or does something to piss her off. Believe me, you can't even look at her when she gets like this. This happens all the time at work and away from work. One night she brought her dog to a bar and someone complained. She totally went ballistic and told off the patron and the owner of the bar. You can't reason or disagree with her when she gets in these moods. What do you think causes this aggression? Also, she is very non-committal to things regarding her health like quitting smoking, eating right and exercising. What are your thoughts. Seriously please?

I've had this problem once before - pain behind my navel for a week or so and then it bleeds. The last time my doctor cauterized it and it was ok after a while. This was two years ago - and it's happening again. He didn't explain what had caused it before - I can't get to the docs for 2 days - any thoughts?

I injured my knee a weeks ago. And it was really bruised but after a while the purple brusing went away. But there still is a hard lump on my left side of my right knee. Its not painful but it does hurt sometimes when I kneel down or bend my knee. So will it ever go away.

The deep pain lasts about 20 min. and seems to stem from somewhere just below my sholder. I have no chest pains nor heart problems.
I do get a reaction from Iodine but Iof course I have not intentionally taken any in my food or vitimens. My blood pressure is usually fine but this week it is 147.
I am 64 and otherwise healthy
Any ideas would be welcome.

Just curious, I'm 34 and they ache about once a year for a couple days. And no, I haven't seen a dentist in about five years due to a bad experience (he did repairs on a tooth, it came off, I went back and he never wrote a note in my chart so he couldn't believe he did the work).
