if it's left uncovered it doesnt scab over, creams make it moist and the skin won't heal. i've heard that if its covered it won't heal either. i'm currently using savlon

change the out come of a would be heart attack or stroke,and how long if possible would it take your body to clear the blockage , with your help and change of life style, I some how feel that to many people just wait and do nothing thinking a open heart repair will make them as good as new, but from what i have seen it only adds more health problems due to the amout of drugs a person must take every day after getting the open heart repair,I know we most all realize the heart problems come from what we eat and being to lazy and not working off the bad stuff, so why can't a person change their own heart health in a short amount of time just by changing their thinking and eating / plus working a little harder???

Usually these occur when I bend over. Sometimes they last 5 minutes and sometimes longer. I went to a doctor and they did some tests and said my heart is fine but I know it isn't. I feel like I am gonna faint and I get short of breathe when it happens. I just feel like my heart is in my throat ready to come out. My heart beats so bad I can put a pillow on my chest and see is move. And when I breathe out you can hear my breathe pounding even though all I am doing is breathing out. I was just wondering if there is anyone out there with these same symptoms?

My 2 year old has a vp shunt, and keeps getting severe headaches, especially on waking. she will not eat and pain killers(ie codiene, ibruprofen, paracetamol) dont seem to work. after a while of being upright she seems to improve. appetite returns tho not fully and headache goes or lessons. she had a ct scan the other day but appears normal. she also has a swollen lymph node right next to her shunt. Any advice would be gratefully recieved. thanks. P.s what other tests can be done, and how do i get the docs to listen, i am pretty sure it is her shunt. :(

I have had knee problems,osteoarthritis and surgery in Feb 2007. Iam possibly facing a partial knee replacement in the future. My problem is my feet are aching and have spasms and now my hips and other knee are hurting. Iam 49 years old and feel like iam falling apart. Could all these new problems be because of my bad knee? Anyone every experience this? Thanks

My grandfather is 90 years old, and very healthy for a person of his age. But his kidneys are performing poorly and losing their functionality everyday. The creatinine level is 6.8 and has been increasing lately.

He has to walk periodically in order to get some exercise, and the doctors say so too. But I think this is for general cases where the kidney function is not so poor.

I need to know if there are any special exercises or methods to keep the kidney healthy, or not make it worse at the least.

Dialysis is the nest step, but are there exercises or restrictions to exercises that should be considered (apart from just walking)?

i hold my medical certifications but i never really thought about this question.. Can someone relay me some information on how EXACTLY to perform this life saving procedure? i believe i would contact a surgeon from local hospital to assist in preforming this...
however, say no surgeon is available...paramedics and on a call... mutual aid is no where around.. you have the necessary equipment... and your ready to cut. Can someone guide me on STEP BY STEP...everything from using the scalpel to cutting though the epiglottis, tracheal glands and the tracheal tube its self...how much 02 to release? (10L-15L?) and everything else needed...


just something i always wanted to know how to do... thank you!
