General Health Care - August 2006

I am trying to pick a dotor and dentist but i have no idea who is good or not. Is there any website or way to find out who these people really are and what kind of work they do menaing if it is good or bad without calling each person?

By the way I am in New York City if that helps some.

I know I don't have anything just want to get it out the way just because you know, but I hate giving blood , does anyone else suffer from the fear of giving blood?

At work last night (a small restaurant in the middle of nowhere), one of our cooks burned his palm on some bacon grease. That thing swelled up and was really hurting him.

We didn't have anything other than ice and did not know how to treat it.

Should this event happen again, what can we do to help relieve some of the pain?

I noticed that everytime I have a drink now - not much just say 2 cans of lager - after a few hours I spit up fresh blood. The next morning though I spit up blood which is stale as it's much darker.

I know for a fact that this is not caused by my gums bleeding because I have had this checked out by a dentist.

What could be wrong? What is bleeding inside of me and what causes it?

My boyfriend had a wart froze off from his finger yesterday. He is in extreme pain- is that normal? If he even touches his finger tip to something it is unbearable and he gets tears in his eyes. Is this normal?

Pleas! I do not want an emotional or political answer, I do not care if you are prolife or proscience.
What I am asking is:
Has there been a cure of a disease in humans?
Has there been a cure of a diesease in animals?
Has there been a treatment of an uncurable disease in humans or animals which gave partial revarsal of a disease state or halted a disease process?
What proof is there that it will or can cure diabetes, parkinsons, demetia, spinal cord injury, or any other illness.
Was ther any chance of Christopher Reeves or Ronald Reagan being alive today had federal fundings een made available for stem cell reaserch?
Do you think, Michael J. Fox or Patti Label will realize cures of their illnesses in thir lifetime with stem cells?
Please Objctive answers only from either side...I do not want emotional, political rants!

I've been here a couple of years but cant work because I've got stress, my doctor said a holiday would do me good but the NHS wont pay, if my doctor says I need a holiday but the NHS wont pay then I'm being denied medication/therapy. I dont think Mr Blair is as imigrant friendly as a lot of you think, its not as if a week or two in Spain is going to break the bank is it?

This might sound a little crazy but I think I am allergic to Sierra Mist or at least something in it. I can drink Sprite or 7up just fine but when I drink Sierra Mist I get sick. Not vomitting sick but sick. My throat gets sore, it starts to swell like I have Strep Throat. I know it is not Strep Throat because I do not have the white things at the back of my throat and this happens EVERY time I drink Sierra Mist. Even the smallest sip of it does this to me.

I've had a headache for the last 5 days. It's progressively getting worse.
I've been taking excederin, and asprin, that's not working.
I went to the doctor day before yesterday and got a shot of Tegretol and while it helped that day, the headache is back.
I think it's turning into a migraine because I'm sensitive to the light, and to smells now, and everytime I stand up I have to sit back down because the throbbing is so bad.
I'm trying like h*ll to avoid a trip to the ER.
Any ideas on how to get rid of this once and for all??
