is it possibe for a docter to tell the parent the results of her 18 yr old daughter's pap smear and to let the her (the mom) in the room (not asking the daughter if she wanted her in or not) when it is being done, or is it against the law or something if he/ her (docter) allows the mom to attend while the daughter dose not want her (mom) to attend or to hear the resaults.

I'm 13 years old. I just told I need glasses because I'm nearsighted. Both my parents have good eyesight. My eye doctor told me that your nearsightness get worse. How worse do people get? My power now is -1.25 How bad is to get to be more nearsighted? Its scary? How bad does it get to not being able to see without glasse?

Thank you

i had my top and bottom wisdom teeth cut out and they had to cut into my jaw, the dr. said they almost broke my jaw. it has been like a month and now there is a really hard knot on the jaw that hurts real bad. also, when i wake up it takes a while before i can open my mouth at all, and when i finally get it open, it pops really loud. does anyone know what this is?

I started getting a headache wednesday Nov. 7 and I took two alieve, but they did not help so I went to bed to try to sleep it off. That did not work either when I woke up I still had the headache. I went to my therapist today and by the time I got home the headache was 10 times worse. When I bend over it feels like my head is a bomb and just waiting to explode. I did have a headache like this before and I went to ER they done a cat scan and a spinal tap and they came back ok. I followed up with my Dr. and he said that I had viral menagitis. That was last year. I have not had a bad headache since then. I never get headaches and if I do alieve usually helps no problem. Suggestions and help PLEASE

I'm getting a pap smear done tomorrow. I'm totally doctor phobic and start freaking out and have panic attacks. I haven't had a pap done in over 3 years and my dr is telling me I need to get one done in order to get more BC pills. Is it weird to want my husband in the room with me?? I just feel so uncomfortable and freaked out being in a doctor's office, let alone having a man dr examine my crotch region!!! LOL!! I just told my husband that he has to come in with me. Has anyone else ever done this?? I don't want everyone to think I'm nuts, I just freak out about dr's. Plus, I've never had a male dr doing my pap smear, so it'll be even more uncomfortable for me.

I am in my late 40's and have never had good teeth. I have constant toothaches and need expensive procedures done. I was quoted at $37,000 to have my teeth straightened etc. I cannot afford this and do not of course have a dental plan. I am missing a number of teeth all of which are molars and back teeth. I can only chew on one side because there are no teeth on the other side, also I will at times choke on my food because it gets stuck in my teeth and I bite the insides of my lips. Its ridiculous and I probably should have done this a long time ago. Please, if you have any wisdom I would like to hear from you. My daughter thinks its a good idea as she attests that its better to have it done now rather than waiting when I'm older. I want to add that I have major bone loss in my mouth and have hashimotos disease(immune disease).

I have a chalazion on the top lid of both eyes and every eye doctor i've asked has said to simply put a hot compress on it. But I've done it, and instead of shrinking, it gets bigger! is this supposed to happen?? Is my only other option draining it/getting surgery to remove it?

anyone whose had any sort of chalazion in their eye and has had this type of experience who could offer advice would be greatly appreciated.

My wife has Medicare, they cover some things, not all. We're just recently married and money is tight, so I want to have all of our bases covered (Dr visits, ER visits,etc..). Especially since we want to have kids someday, but I know most won't cover gynecological matters. I'm new to all of this and it's confusing and scary. So, if anyone else is dealing with this or has in the past, any kind of help would be appreciated greatly.

I have been worrying and stressed a lot for about the last three months, over relationship issues mostly. My question is, is it possible to worry so much that you can make yourself sick?

My grandmother died just a few days ago in palliative care. It was so sad because she passed away just after me and my dad said good bye and said we promised to visit her again tomorrow. We just walked out of the hospital when we got a phone call from grandpa that grandma was gone...grandpa sat beside her for the whole time.
Did she choose to die at that point because she was glad to see us for the last time? Or was it only a coincidence. I keep thinking it was the moment she chose to leave because she was happy to see us. I had the impression that she was holding onto life until the end. She had cancer in the liver for 15 years.

-Wear metal chains such as braces on my teeth for 2 years and maybe get a tetanus shot when my wires are removed.

-Or in one month!! Get all my crooked teeth out and add artificial ones, and it'll look just as good.

pros and cons por favor.
