My daughter is 5 years old and they are wanting to do a colonoscopy on her. Will she have to be put to sleep for this and will she be in pain after? What willthis test tell us? I am worried sick because she is so young and that is my baby girl. If anyone can please help me with this i would appreciate it very much. They are wanting to do it next wed. does that mean since it is so soon that it is serious?

I basically want to know how you reduce the pain that you receive from computer work...which is caused by physical stress.

A friend of mine went to the doctor for a cough. She takes both birth control and Zoloft, and when the doctor heard that he asked "So, do you have trouble having an orgasm?" No leading questions, just bluntly asked. She's not even sexually active. Then when he went to listen to her lungs he pulled her shirt up. Most doctors just reach the stethescope under your shirt, but he pulled it up without any warning or asking her permission. She called me because I'm a nursing major and she thought I'd know if this was normal or not, but I'm not sure. The bottom line is she felt uncomfortable and that means the doctor did something wrong. But did he really violate any of her rights?

Or anything similar? I don't snore, but most of the time I have a hard time breathing through my nose when I'm sleeping, (I have a small nose/nostrils..lol) and I was just wondering how well those things actually work

The cold air hurts it. How long until it is healed? I am already taking an anti-inflammatory medicine daily for an arm problem, but it doesnt seem to keep the swelling down. What else can I do?

What should you do if your eyeball comes out of your head?

Get it put back in, and soon. The longer you remain in this rare condition—known as "globe luxation"—the more strain you'll put on the blood vessels and nerves that connect your eye to the rest of your head. Your luxated globes will also be susceptible to corneal abrasions or inflammation, and the feeling of your eyelids clamped down behind them won't be pleasant.

You should be able to get your eye back in place without serious, long-term damage. The treatment is pretty simple: Doctors apply some topical painkillers, hold back your lashes, and poke your eyeball into its socket by pressing on the white part with gloved fingers. (In some cases, they'll use a simple tool like a bent paperclip to shoehorn it back into place.)
You can also trigger luxation while putting in your contact lenses, or with a particularly violent sneeze. You might even pop your eyeballs by trying to exhale while keeping your nose and mouth closed.

I dont know... I just feel sick. I've been feeling sick since Ive been in Kansas over a month ago. Im prone to migraines anyway but I've been getting headaches everyday. My urine is foggy and has a different smell I guess. I'm always dizzy and I can't concentrate. I feel like I have constant vertigo or something.

IDK if I have an infection or something I got bitten by misquitos 10000s of times while I was in Kansas, and my whole body sorta itches. IDK tho, In the morning its the worst.


I know I should see a doctor but I'm 18 and under my mom's insurance and my mom just dosn't have time to take me unless its an emergancy. What do you think is wrong with me?

I scratched my eye while sleeping. now the white is bloody. I can see fine and it isn't bothering me. Will it be alright if I just let it heal? It looks horrific.
