They may respect the work you do or your ability to nurse or your knowledge but has every single doctor you've ever worked with like you. The reason I am asking is that I am the managing RN for a newly formed hospice, I went out marketing with our new marketer a couple of days ago and in the process of making our visits I mentioned to her a couple of doctors in our small home town who didn't particularly see eye to eye with me in the past. Now I know it's her job to be all sugar and sweet and basically kiss *** to get them to refer to us. The next day my corporate nurse calls me to see if there will be a problem with me working in this area. I asked her the same question, just thought I would hear from others.

Been giving some thought to participating in some medical trials to help pay off some debt from Uni.
Just wondering if anyone has taken part in any such experiment and wouldn't mind sharing their experience as the web sites seem to skirt around the actual details of what you'll be subjected to:
Where was your trial? What did they actually do to you? How long did it last? How much were you paid?
Cheers.

I find that the preparatory laxative drink that is given to patients before a colonoscopy to clean them out seems to have an ingredient in it that I have a reaction to. I start retching and vomiting just from the smell of it let alone drinking it. Now, I can eat and drink some pretty gross things with no problems, so it's not a matter of taste or smell. It seems to have an ingredient in it that I have some sort of allergic reaction. I have the same reaction when I drink Gatorade, but I can't seem to find a common ingredient.

Does anyone else have this problem? If so, what is the cause???

It only hurts when stiff. After sleeping or sitting still..then hurts when first walked on, but after 1 minute, no pain and I can do anything painless. But sit still for 10 minutes or inactivity and it tightens up and I cant even stand on it. anyone know what this condition is called? anyone have a medical link on the web for it?

I have problems sleeping almost every night. I wake up many times and I have a hard time staying asleep. Even taking tyelenol pm doesn't help some nights, other times it will keep me asleep. It doesn't really seem like I have racing thoughts that keep me awake, as that has been the case for me before. Now my body just doesn't stay asleep. I also always feel uncomfortable in many positions and change alot. My family has told me that I sometimes gasp for breath or breathe weird but I don't know how often that is.
I feel like I need a sleep study just to get something solved but I am running out of insurance pretty soon and I wondered how much they are, if it is worth getting one, and what happens during it.

I heard in France, Germany and western European countries have free health care, but that you have to pay for premium care.

Is this true?

I get these stupid leg cramps - mostly at night or early morning -
6:00 am or so... they grab you and your leg and you get such pain
& can't move! Yesterday I was walking to my car & it was 5 pm &
I felt it come on me - from my back of my knee down my leg! It sure hurt like heck! I am on Quinine Sulfate 325 mg for it and it
mostly helps, but what does anyone else take? This is driving me
nuts! Stress doesn't help it either - it brings them on. EEK!
