I recently was hospitalized to have surgery on my abdominal area. They had to replace a shunt ,and take out the old one. They had to cut my stomach , so how long will it take before I am completely healed? I had been sick for two weeks before I figured out there was a problem.

I made a complaint about a doctor (UK) and she has withdrawn services. Can all the other docs in the same specialty refuse to see me to back her up?

I haven't been able to talk for about three days, and I can't go to work because of it. I'm not sick, I just can't seem to talk. Any suggestions, I really want to go back to work tomorrow. It seems like my vocal chords are damaged, cause I just can't seem to clear my throat.

I must've been bit by something during the night. The bite is on my elbow and hurts so bad. The bite left a red ball which feels like it is puss filled and it also caused a bruise about 2 cm away from the initial bite. The bruise is about 2 inches in diameter. What could this be??? And what can I do to stop it from hurting so damn much.

Meaning, how does each individual ingredient stop the pain.....and is one better for you than the other (does one do less long term damage)?

My feet have been hurting, especially the arch. What can I do to resolve this problem? Would buying new shoes help? All I can afford is cheap shoes. What could the podiatrist do for my feet hurting. Yes, I'm overweight, so I don't know if that's the problem. I can't get to exercising until this problem is corrected. I can't even stand 5 minutes without them hurting.

The upper portion of the thumb was chipped off and his whole nail was removed.

Actually, I'm doing this for a friend. I've read an article in a biology newsletter which tells of a certain incident when a child lost all of his fingers due to an accident. All that was left were bleeding stump-like remains where his fingers once were. The clinic dismissed him carelessly, paying no attention, whatsoever to the juvenile's serious injury. After 2 months, the young boy returned and presented his hand to the nurses who had absent-mindedly treated him before. To their surprise, the fingers were growing back, nails and all! The boy was 11 years old. There was no irregularity found in his DNA structure which could possibly be the surprising cause of his fingers' regeneration.

I was wondering if the same thing would apply to this injured friend of mine. He was already treated, at least seriously in this situation, and he has adapted to his situation rapidly. He wonders about his thumb.

I have severe buttock pain, buttock numbness, right leg pain, calf and foot craps, foot pain, arm weakness, and facial numbness. The doctors have told me I have sciatica but with everything that is going on I do not fix a typical sciatica DX. I have had lab test and MRIs and nothing comes up.

I am an EMT training as a Physicians Assitant bound for an ER one day, and I was thinking about this today. We are bound to go by a legal DNR, but we are not allowed to "assist with a suicide". The DNR is sometimes pretty straightforward about what we can and cannot do. I just thought I would throw this out and see where it ended up. I am in Florida by the way, in case I get some legal answer from Conneticut of Indiana. Thanks
