Proffesionals in the field only need to reply, last time I asked about this, I got mainly crackpot answers,everything from "whats the difference you are F***ed anyway so who cares" to people answered quoting TV doctor shows that they believe are factual. I am looking for the straight dope on this.

This question is going out to the people who have been disabled from birth or the parents of a child with a birth defect. As we do not use our real names, please be candid and honest. This is also not a pro-life/pro-choice thing, please do not make it about that.

I have a child who was born with a defect that has made her life a living nightmare of surgeries, hospital stays, she is disabled, etc. When I sued my rat bastard piece of crap OB/GYN, I sued for wrongful life. If he had done his job and ran the tests he was supposed to run OR payed attention to my ultrasounds, I would have been able to have an abortion instead of having a child with defects. I know there are people who are going to be all self-rightous. Blow it out your ear!!! I have lost all my dreams as I have had to stay at home to take care of my child. My life has been destroyed and this defect has ruined hers. If you had a choice, Would you have been born? Would you have carried to term if you knew in advance?

She told me she had chlamydia and that she would tell her boyfriend when she was ready to. I told her I wouldnt say anything as long as she told him within a few days. She didnt tell him so I did. Was I in the wrong? She never denied having it, but her boyfriend who is now her ex is someone I have known for a lot longer than her and he says I did the right thing by telling him and she says I shouldnt have told.

My child has had a cough for months that hasn't responded to antibiotics, steroids, or allergy meds. I don't believe my family practitioner is providing appropriate care and would like to see a specialist but I'm not sure what type to contact. Do I need an interal medicine doc or a pediatric allergist or...??? The FP is beginning to suspect asthma at this point but my child is not wheezing or having difficulty w/physical activity or any of the other asthma symptoms, just a chronic cough.

you hear all about bird flu, yet nobody seems to know or be bothered by the fact that bacteria like staphylococcus and tuberculosis are becoming stronger and stronger and some are not even affected by our strongest antibiotics.
but on the other hand bird flu could cause a potentially HUGE epidemic and kill thousands.

i asked this question before and only got 2 answers.... what's your opinion?

I was shaving my armpits last week when I noticed a black spot. The black spot has been there for years and I've ignored it. As I was shaving a white ooze came out of the black spot them I pulled out a hairball the size of the spot. It was covered in some oily stuff that smelled like sweat. It left a hole in my armpit.
Now that it has healed it left a deep groove in my armpit.
Does anyone have an explaination what that was?

I have been trying compound w on my warts for a few weeks now and it appears to be getting better; however, I am conserned that I may be hurting myself. Each day I cut away and file down the dead skin and the warts have become very painful (sometimes I irritate the surrounding skin). I have become obsessed with getting rid of them. Should I continue my treatment because the warts look like they are disappearing, or should I just suck it up and go to the doctor? How much can I really damage myself?Could I be setting myself up for infection or worse? Any advice?

I got bit by a very small tick a few months ago. Though his head wasn't still there or anything, the place of the bite became very infected and funny looking. It took weeks for it to heal, which I thought odd because of how small the tick was. When that finally went away, it wasn't long after that that I started getting sick with all these random crazy things (diarrhea, abdominal pain, headaches, severe chest pain/heartburn, dizzy spells, nausea, random weakness, heart palpitations, feeling hot/cold at the same time-getting flush and goosebumps all at once, etc).

My symptoms come and go at random. I had heart problems as a kid, but I've outgrown them--or so I thought. Suddenly my symptoms have come back. Crohn's also runs in my family, but I don't have the right symptoms for that. Is my IBS just getting worse?

The first doctor I went to told me "there's no Lyme's disease in this area," even though I know someone who's daughter just recently had it.

I'm 22/female, by the way..
