Health - 14 April 2007

Ok, well ... a little new to insurance and dermatology.
(Please don't flame me for any naive questions or thinking).

Just have a mole (bigger than normal), a little self-conscious about it, and I want to get rid of it.

My insurance is from Kaiser, so would that mean that I can't go to any dermatology office to have this thing removed? I can only go to a Kaiser hospital?

I believe this procedure is cosmetics and the insurance will probably not cover it (correct me if I'm wrong), but I spoke to a dermatologists (friend of mine), and he said ... well ... um ... he could get this procedure classified as another procedure so that the insurance will cover.

Thoughts please ...

(geez, I feel like to only guy here - no offense)

I do lots and lots of martial arts training(Capoeira) and spar a lot of people from other martial arts. I like to kick people's legs out from under them a lot. Which I've noticed has taken a toll on my bones, and I know they are naturally going to be conditioned and get harder, but is there any way to ease the bone pain/soreness until then? I have my leg wrapped right now which helped a lot. I also have pain from being kicked in the ribs and hamstring area, which has been a little more intolerable than I expected.

I know this question may sound very odd coming from a woman (me) who is 26 years old, married and has 3 sons. My husband is circumcised and my boys were circumcised at 1 day old. My husband is the only man I have ever been with. (Been together since I was 14) So I haven't seen any other penises or an uncircumcised one. But I'm just curious as to what an uncircumcised one looks like. I have heard from Y!A that it has wet stuff under the fore skin?? Is that true? And does the smiley/wet stuff stay there if it is true? And can you even see the head of the penis or does the foreskin cover the entire thing? Is the foreskin thick/think, rounded or squared?
I know.. Weird question. I'm just very curious as to what it is all about. And don't want to go look at any images online (that would be disrespectful to my husband in my eye's) So maybe you could try to tell me in a non offensive way.

Thank you!

Hi. I am 30, and about two years ago, I decided that I would like to become a Dental Assistant, so I did, and recently found a job.

My mother had dentures by the time she was 27, so that gives you an idea of how I was raised to take care of my teeth. I went to the dentist once as a kid, and the school took me. I don't remember my mom ever making me brush my teeth (although as a teen, I did on my own). When I moved from home I got into a bad marriage and when I started to develop decay and cavities, my husband just said we couldn't afford the dentist, which was true. By the time I remarried a wonderful husband, it was too late to do anything but extract my back teeth and crown some of the others, including 8 and 10 (two front teeth, basically). I take care of them the best I can, but I still have decay on several of the few remaining teeth I have.

I love the profession I chose, as ironic as it is, but I am ashamed of my teeth. Should I be?

A mother was given spinal anesthesia (Marcarine heavy 0.5 (Bupivacaine)) + fentanyl 25 mcg on a cesarean delivery and the babies were premature (less than 36 weeks). They were born on 15-FEB-2007 & today (15-April-2007) there age is 60 days. Can we give them Nalaxone (Narcan) to reduce the effect of opioids if we doubt that this has made them the respiratory depression. The babies (twins-non identical-female&Male) are facing a respiratory depression & they are on intubation. Will the Nalaxone help in removing the effect of the anesthesia overdoe ?

I'm 20 years old, and ever since I was a young teenager, I've been having periods of sharp pain in my chest. When I have these pains, it only hurts when I'm inhaling. The deeper breath I take, the more this stabbing feeling in my chest digs. It usually only lasts around 30 seconds or so. I get them two or three times a day when I have them, but I'll go a month or so without having them. It's like the "spell" lasts for a few days, and then goes away. My mother blew it off as "growing pains" when I was younger, but now that I'm older it really concerns me. I'm overall a healthy individual. Sitting does not help, nor does drinking water. I just have to stand aside and take tiny, short breaths and wait until the pain goes away. Is there something wrong, or is that totally normal?

I had breast reduction surgery over 6 weeks ago and am no way near the end of this tramatic experience. My plastic surgeon just kept telling me everything was Ok, but it is far from OK. The incisions down the front of my breasts are about 4" wide and 2-3" deep. If it keeps getting deeper I wll be looking at my back bone. I just spent 4 days in the hospital on IV's to help start clearing up the infection that my plastic surgeon says wasn't there. Although it is still infected at least I know, kind of, what I am dealing with.The wound specialist says it is sudomosis (sp), but I can't find any information about it. I really don't want to go back to the same plastic surgeon, but it seems as if no one wants to touch it since it isn't their work. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
