Ive heard you can be harmed if you stop all of a sudden without being winged off. I heard that you can go into convulsions. Is this true?

My father-in-law had his last kidney taken out on June 6, 2006. He has not recovered from this surgery. He is still in the hospital and is not doing well at all. He is out of his mind and does not know any of us. Well, he comes and goes with knowing people. They have ran lots of test on him and have found NOTHING... We don't know if his body has went into shock from haveing no kidneys or if he is not going to be one that can do the dialysis.

In one case, there is one billion dollars. In another, there is a vial with the cure for cancer. Your mother has cancer. Would you take the one billion dollars which you would split with you mother or take the one with the vial which can cure her? Be honest!

When I push in on the swelling on my ankle it stays in. Almost like some sort of toxemia, but I'm not pregnant. My ankle is also hot below the spot I got my tattoo.

Do you think that a wealthy publically-traded cancer research center with thousands of employees would want to find cheap or natural cures for cancers? If they did, they would certainly go bankrupt and many many people would loose their high paying jobs. Right? It's been proven time and time again (like Enron) that many big-shot execs/CEO's will screw people over just to make a buck. Do you think this could be the case with Cancer research? I really smell a rat here. Or is it just my imagination?

I've been obsessing over the fat on my stomach. I understand that everyone has a little bit fat, but I am desperate for a flat tummy. I've been exercising a lot more, and I keep chugging water bottles (it makes me feel full and not want to eat). Could I be developing anorexia?

She has been before but only for about 2 weeks and unsuccessful.
When she is drunk she tells us she wants to go to rehab but when she is sober she avoids the question. She also has anxiety disorder and with her phobias on high speed she has been drinking more and more and doesnt eat and looks so sick. She also smokes 2 packs a day. Her psychiatrist of many years is a pill pusher and avoids the fact that she is a non-compliant patient. Right now she takes inderal every once in a while and zoloft every day cause she knows she is VERY depressed. But she is drinking SOOO much. HELP! I want to call the primary doctor cause he doesnt know she is a severe alcoholic!
