My tonic (astigmatism) contact lens prescription is:
-4.75 -0.75 x010 and
-5.00 -1.25 x170

what would my prescription be for regular contacts?
(I know that I wouldn't be able to see as clear with regular contacts, but I would just like to know)

Oncologist/radiation therapist?
How many years of higher education does it take to b an oncologist? It is a real doctor, right? I understand that an oncologist works with radiation therapists, what is your opinion of a career as a radiation therapist or a oncologist?
I'm thinking to be a radiation therapist, but my father is pressuring me to be a doctor. I am very interested in curing cancer and helping people get well, but im not looking to study for a long time like doctors need around 11 years. All answers are greatly appreciated. Thanx

on wednesday i was in the pool (i live in spain) and i think i twisted my ankle, but when i came out, it didnt hurt, it just felt weak. on thursday when i got up my foot really hurt and it was a little swollen but no bruising, so i iced it and the swelling went down and put my ankle support on, and limped around the house all day(my mom was at work). yesterday when i got up it really hurt, even more, so i could hardly walk, and when my mom got home she started shouting at me saying i was pretending to be hurt for attention cause my best friend has just moved and i wont see her anymore. my ankle really hurts and i think i might have a grade II sprain(looked on the internet)and it will have to be plastered or bandaged,but my mom wont take me to the hospital or doctors cause on tuesday i go on holiday to the UK, and she says i wont beable to fly if i'm on crutches...
please tell me what to do...my ankle really hurts, and if i leave it'll get worse

Would it cause any serious damage if i did a quick zap to like my arm or leg. I was thinking about doing it to the side of my rib. I just want to know what it feels like but dont want to try it if it causes serious damage.

What is a "psychotic personality"?I saw a psychologist using the term and I've been looking everywhere for it but I can't understand what it means...I'm quite familiar with the personality disorders but I've never heard about this one.

Recently my Mother was told that she has Liver cancer. She has jaundice very badly and it has caused her skin to appear orange and the whites of her eyes are yellow...She also has Hep C and I am not clear on if they can operate on her if she has this condition? I guess what i would like to know is what the common causes of liver cancer are? thank you for your time.

Hi there. I had an operation a week ago on my shoulder. This was done to repair the torn cartlidge, repair the tears in the ligaments and tendons and to repair one of the muscles. I was told by the surgeon that my shoulder would be fully functional in 3 months and that in 6 months I could play rugby.

Rugby is crucial for me as I have a sports scholarship at my school, and 6 months would mean missing the whole season. I heard that sports men now take collagen tablets to decrease healing time after injuries but I'm not sure. So if I were to take collagen tablets would it help to decrease my healing time? I'm 16 if that makes a difference. Any help would be much appreciated.

Next week I am undergoing this test which is part of an employment contract. I have had a heart murmour for several years and the upper left ventricle of my heart is inflamed. Although feeling very healthy and I cannot see this test 'being a problem', however, I was wondering if this is a test that you 'pass' in terms of the outcome. Any points of view? My future depends on this test it is sad to say!!!

I have been diagnosed with migraine with aura. I rarely experience headaches, but I do have numbness in one side of my body and face, aphasia in speech, and blind spots in vision that can last an hour or so. They do not occur often, but can anyone tell me what triggers the episodes?

A week ago I noticed a red hard bump. The next day the leg got swollen in the afternoon. The sides of my ankle get swollen and tender to touch. The area above my heel hurts. I have like a burning feeling. Some people say that something stung me; but others say that may be that is injury related. I just know that I woke up and found that bump. Thanks for your help in this guessing game. I am so scared. See pictures:

Ok..well my dad chews tabacco. There I said it. I'm really worried about him. I've given him a hard time about it plenty of times but he doesnt care. He is addicted. My grandpa (his dad) was recently hositalized for cancer. But my dad and my grandpa havent talked to eachother in more than 3 years, so he didnt care much. I want him to know that he could be the cancer patient soon, but I dont know what to say. I've talked to my mom about this. She doesnt have much of an effect on him either. OK so my questoin are 1) How can I tell him that I want him to stop, and 2) What is going to happen to him if he keeps doing this drug?! Thanks in advance for your answers. :)
