The cat scratched the hand of my wife, it did not have a collar, so I am assuming it is a stray cat. Just as a precaution I am wondering what I should do?

But it doesnt seem to be taking care of the issue. He is sleeping alot and drowling like crazy..I am not sure of what to do because this is the first time dealing with this. He has wet afew times..but his lips are dry. Drinking is very limited. And he has not ate anything all day..

Whenever I visited a hospital up to the early nineties you could smell the reassuring disinfectant smell. It used to cling to your clothes.

Last night when I was walking home a homeless man ( I think he was homeless) forced himself on me. He only kissed me before someone stepped in and helped me, but now I have been throwing up and have diarreah all day. Can you get anything other than a cold/flu from kissing someone. Who knows what kind of diseases this guy might have...

and the Dr. made a mistake and gave him blood type B rather than A, I heard this was deadly and could cause cogulation. How soon would the Dr. know that an error was made, and what could be done to reverse this error? Are there any side-effects?
Thanks.

First of all, do bites from rabid animals heal? Second, what temperatures do bats generally live in? Third, do rabid bats change their sleeping habits?

My father was diagnosed 5 years ago with Hep C and just now he has started throwing up all of his meds. He is at the point where he is tired of going to the doctors and gettting a run-around. He takes Lactulose but now he is throwing it up as well. He is not confused or yellow but what other signs do I need to look for. Here my doc is closed and if I tell him to go to ER he refuses at which I undertand! Help
