Health - 19 June 2007

after coming to terms with the reality of hospitalization and going all the way up to the hospital-doing the intake-and all the stress and fear. the insurance denies my admission. why? i wasnt acute enough. despite the fact that my doc sent me and a nurse practioner plus a psychiatrist who did see me for two hours felt i needed admission. the insurance providers shrink decided i wasnt acute enough. she didnt see me or talk to me but somehow she knew better than the folks who saw me and took time to diagnose me plus my shrink who knows me for 3 years. its all about the money-not whats best for the patient. . i do want to say that the facility was not what i expected. beautiful setting-really great staff. they were so kind and helpful.they comforted me and made me feel very cared for. if for some reason you need to go to a psychiatric facility or send someone you love to one i would say go to FOUR WINDS HOSPITAL. especially if its a child.

Recently, I had a job offer that was more money (25% + more)and promotion. Because of greed of getting more money than the original offer, I held back. Because of my mistake, the deal fell through and the employer hired someone else. This has been really bothering me. It has been nearly three months now and I can't get past this. I cannot even focus on my current job and my family. I don't know what to do. I feel like I missed out and it's bothering me beyond words. I have never felt like this before. Call it crazy, but I sometimes even get to tears. Help! How can I overcome this? How would you rank this in terms of a regretful life event? Thank you for your help.

I live with my parents. Who I hate. I can't afford to move out right now because I don't make enough money in my crappy department store job. I was getting happy and looking forward to moving into an apartment this fall, but then my mom said I can just drive to the college I'm going to during the fall semester. So then that sucked but I thought to myself "oh well, at least I'll be out by winter and in my own apartment". Now my mom plans on forcing me to move in with my sister's best friend who has a 3 year old. Not only do I not like kids, but how am I going to get any of my school work done with a 3 year old in my apartment? The reason I was responsible and didn't have any accidental children is so I wouldn't be in a situation like that. And according to the federal government, my parents make too much money for me to be eligible for enough loan money to pay for the apartment on my own.The program I'm in school for is a hard one that only 16 people get into.

I had surgery on May 26th to have a plate and 10 screws inserted because of a broken humerus. I had staples to close the incision and they were removed on June 8th. I then got steri-stripes to cover the incision until it was fully healed. The ends of the stripes are starting to peel off and it's fully scabbed over.

The lady i babysit for is an e.r nurse and she looked at my arm and said if I wanted to take them off, I probably could. I just wanted more opinions. So is it ok to take them off? Also, how do i take them off without ripping the scab off?

I read in Men's Health that men doing 30 mins+ of cardio start to lose muscle mass. I'm pretty skinny fat and I work out with weights ; my question is: how long would be a good time to maximize fat loss while minimizing muscle loss?

I asked a question in the immigration section of answers on whether anyone thought that the influx of illegals could be a factor of all these diseases such as mumps, measles, flu etc, reoccuring in the U.S. You know in a lot of 3rd world countries, they don't have an immuniztion schedules set up like in the U.S and I wondered if some of these folks, when they come over, are bringing it back with them?
