My son went to the doctor's a year back and at the end of the appointment, he was given a sticker. The doctor placed the sticker on the back of his hand. It was of a smiley face! ;)

Problem is, on the way home, he said the sticker was hurting his hand. He's very little so he didn't understand that he could take the sticker off. All he did was complain that his hand was in a lot of pain.

I removed the sticker and he was fine after. No more complaints. Well, it's finally occurred to me after seeing him with a sticker on the back of his hand today that he's had plenty of stickers on the back of his hand before and after this one appointment. What could've caused the pain on the back of his hand during the time the sticker was on?

I heard this on ABC news a few weeks ago where some guy was talking about the current state of USA's health care system. He felt that America could function better if we adopted a system of "universal coverage." He then went on to say that universal coverage didn't mean socialized medicine.

So what defines universal coverage AND socialized medicine? Is there a difference between the two? Which one is right for America?

You're eating a popsicle and part of the inside of your lip freezes to the popsicle. When you pull it off, your lip bleeds. Then the blood freezes to the popsicle. Then you can't eat the popsicle anymore if you're in public.

If you wait for your lip to unfreeze before you pull off the popsicle, will your skin stay on your lip?

earlier today i checked out of school because i was extremely sick. i nearly passed out and was having trouble breathing. (i'm in seventh grade btw) my parents are really stict and just told me to go to my room and that they don't even think anythings wrong with me and wouldn't take me to the doctor. that night it became really hard for me to breathe and my chest started hurting and i couldn't even turn my neck hardly at all. i was throwing up all over myself because i was too weak to get up or move. the next day at school (my parents made me go) i went to the nurse again because my teacher thought something was wrong with me. she thinks i'm dehydrated and says i need to go to the hospital but neither of my parents will take me?! what will happen if i don't go?? will this go away by itself? or what if i am dehydrated? she tried to get my to drink some water but i could'nt eat or drink anything.. yet i keep on throwing up.its still real hard to breathe! what do i do!?

Im almost 18 athletic and I broke my right pinky finger 8 days ago and it was swollen the first few days but right now isn;t significantly swollen. I saw the Dr he said I could resume playing basketball after 21days (from the day i hurt it), however he also said it takes about 6 weeks for the bone to fully heal. I get pain in it when I put pressure on it, and am wondering if three weeks is enough ?
