I cut my finger on a knife on Sunday, it is pretty deep, but my husband helped me (he's trained in first aid) put pressure on it and stop the bleeding. He cleaned it and bandaged it. Now 2 days later, it still has not begun to heal. The edges are jagged looking and have not yet started to come together. Does that make sense? Does it need stitches?

It smells like a rat has died in our heating/a/c unit at our office, but our bos is too cheap to fix the problem and it is causing employees to get flu-like symptoms. Where would someone file an annonymous complaint - like to the board of health maybe? anyone have any suggestions? it needs to be annonymous and for the state of califonia.

I have a knee injury that I am uncertain about what it is exactly.
I wore bad running shoes for years and damaged only my right knee now. I have stopped running due to intense pain in my lower right knee cap each time I use my legs stretenously, like when I land hard on it or run a distance.
What do you think I have done to my knee? Do you think I have worn away cartilage, torn a ligament, or what maybe? Do you think this can heal on its own or will i need surgery to fix it?

would his ability to discriminate tactile resolution be better or worse in his right upper extremity distal to the injury?

How about tactile localization.

When I swallow I feel like there is a noise in one ear and when I hold my nostrils together and blow out my ears feel like they are popping open...almost as if something inside is keeping them stuck. What is the reason for this and how can I make it go away? About a month a go the same ear was clogged from an infection but with meds is no longer clogged. Thank you for any replies or help you can give me. Benta

I'd love to know if there is anything that will make some bruises go away faster. Anything that would make them hurt less would be great, but if not, I'd love to at least make the color go away.
