Hey Doctor. So for other people who work in the Hospitals where you work. The dirty environment. How would you recommend that they keep everything clean? How often should people who work at Hospitals have to take a shower? How often should they wash their clothes? How often should they wash their bedsheets? Does it help to put mothballs in the vacuum bags? Does it help to vacuum the house every day?

The Cavicide Spray. Why doesn't it state on the bottle that it kills Sabies also?

Also for hospital workers how often do health professionals get scabies? What is the best way to avoid it? Do Doctors get scabies too?

I have strep throat. I used both amoxicillin and pennicillin in the past. However, its been a while since the last time I;ve had strep throat. It usually doesn't take long for pennicillin to kick in, but right now I'm on amoxicillin. Ive use amoxicillin before in the past and it has worked. However it seems to be taking forever. This is my fourth day with strep throat and I'm still hurting. I don't remember it taking this long whenever I am prescribed pennicillin.. So again.. The question is... Does amoxicillin take longer to kill a bacteria than pennicillin does?

ok, my throat is very red and sore, and I noticed a red bump in the back of my throat....like where the throat forms to the roof of the mouth, in between that area. The bump is very red and about the size of a m&m and it hurts to touch. I had sex a few days ago, is this strep throat, mono or std? Has anyone had strep with just one fairly big sore/bump in back of throat? Thanks

I have recently discovered that in some of the jails and prisons,
persons who have moderate to severe Hepatitis C, are put
in the ''general population'' of that type of facility, and to me, this is ''putting other people's lives...AT RISK'', and if it is
against the Law, then I do think that the System, should be
''held responsible'' for putting healthy people's lives, on the
line, for health dangers.
From what I understand, persons with Hep/C, and Genital
Organ Diseases do not have to Register with some of the
State Health Departments, but persons who are ''carriers''
of Aids, are required to Register.
I'm wondering why it is not a law, that these others "carriers''
of Incurable, Highly Contagious Diseases, aren't required to
Register, or are they??? In which States??
I don't know about other people, but this type of neglect, by
the law enforcement / jail-prison systems isn't right, and it
should be of great concern to us all, right??
How many in ur area?? Tomenyhere

I tend to clean my ear's a couple times a week, ((its a good habit)) and well i went to clean my ear's about a few min's ago, and my ear wax was about a dark brown, bargondey color, and i just cleaned my ear's on monday, and it was about an yellowish color ((which is a normal color)) so could something be wrong, with my ear's because of the color of the wax, or is everything okay?!

My friend has ringworm and now she says her animals have it. I don't know if she's been to a doctor yet or taken her animal to the vet.
Does it go away by itself or is medication needed for her and her animal?
And is it possible for the animals to get it?
