General Health Care - January 2007

well, I'm really desperate now since the deadline for this project is tomorrow.

It has to do something with medicine. I know it might be a joke to you but this is the best I can think of. also, this is not a thesis, we're xpected to make very simple ones.

It's a device that will enable you to see the condition of your wound or lesion or anything at the back of your head. It's a procedure in nursing that if the patient asked to see the wound when you're cleaning it, you have to use a mirror, but it will be useless if it's at the back of your head. so I made a device that is like a stick with two mirrors at both ends. the angles of the mirrors will be adjusted so you can see the area.

can you give a name for this?
or can you give me a better idea for an invntion?

thanks...

The pain is on the tip of the elbow, there is a slight red mark but on bruising. I have full movement, but can't put any pressure on my elbow without pain.

Ok well i hurt my knee in gym class and now(2 weeks later) my knee still hurts. I cant really straiten it becauseil gets "locked" What could thois be? The orthapidi said everything was fine and took x-rays but not an MRI. He said just to rest but its just getting worse and everything doesn't seem fine. My mom won't take me back there to get an MRI. She said everything was fine. I asked if she could get me crutches but she said its best for me to wak. But that really hurts and my knee gets locked but I told her that and she wont believe me. Why does my knee lock? Should I get crutches? What should I tell my mom?

My left shoulder has been sore for 1 week. The pain seems to be very slowly increasing. It is not too sore to keep me from going about my normal activities, yet. It seems to hurt the most when I lift my arm up. I have not done anything to cause this or had any kind of injury there before. Anyone know what could cause this?

So I was crossing the street at a crosswalk with the walk light on when some guy making a right turn comes out of nowhere and hits me. I went down hitting my shoulder on the pavement and almost had my ankle completely ran over if he hadn't stopped when he did.

He stopped and made sure I was alright and another car behind him stopped and asked if I needed any help. I could get up and walk even though it hurt really bad at the time, and now a day later it hurts much worse but I can still walk.

Should I have taken him to court or asked for some kind of compensation? Or was I right in just shrugging it off even though it was obviously his fault and nothing more serious happened?

....or would you disagree with me ?... Obviously The Clintons and Yahoo were working on this PR stunt for quite a while...so why wouldn`t they eliminate the "thumbs down" option on questions asked ? That would have been Hillaryarious to see all the thumbs down...God knows no negetive comments would get through.

On Dr. Phil last week they had a show about people living and dealing with gender identity disorder or being trans-gender. The show mentioned the fact that these people were denied work opportunities and benefits. This is so sad. Are they at least able to turn to disability to help them when society doesn't?

I posted the other day about my cat that bit me. People said use ice because it fells really tight. But when I used ice it hurt even worse. And today it's a little red around the area of the bite. I have it rapped up in a ace bandage and all but I cannot use it at all. it hurts when I move it. We have put medication on it and all. It's to small to need stiches but it worries me about the placement of it and the redness of it. It's on the bone to your index finger and one of the three bites (one on the bottem) is really deep. It's the one on the bone so I'm worried that maybe he hurt the bone or something.
So my question is, should I be worried of this? people said watchout for redness and all but I wanted to make sure. Should I go see the doctor? I don't want to because they have to report the cat bite and I could lose my cat.
What should I do about the bite and how should I take care of it?

Thanks!

hello. im worried about blood pressure. my family i believe has normal blood pressure, besides my dad, who only has high bp because he drinks way too much beer. anyway, im 14, 5'6.5'', and 120 lbs, which is skinny. at the doc, when i got my physical, my pulse was 90, and my bp was 95/70. i was told this was good. i must note that they took the bp in my right arm. anyway, in health class, we used a finger monitor, and i was like 145/102. so bullshit that was. so, my dad got a 100doll. omron monitor. i take it almost daily while im at his house and at diff. times. it's weird though- ill take it, and it will be bad, then ill take it again immediately after, and it will be good. and, my bp doesnt' seem to be higher when i first wake up in the morning. could there be a diff. in right and left arm bp? this seems too odd. also, i was very anxious at the docs,as it was my first ever physical. thanks.

I am a 49 year old male. About five years ago, I had surgery for a hernia in my lower left abdomen (groin) area. The hernia was surgically repaired using mesh. After a two week recovery I resumed my normal activities with no problems. However, within the last year or so, I have experienced periodic, chronic pain in the region. My Doc. indicated the pain was a possible result of scar tissue, but a cat scan revealed no abnormalties. Still, the pain continues. My next step is an MRI. Anyone have any experiences or recommendations here?

when i cut myself and it's healed, i like to put a bandage on it because it still hurts and i don't want to break it open again.
my dad tells me not to do that because the air should get at it. but i tell him that there's germs swimming in the air and i don't want to break the scape.
who's right?

I was around 14+ when I was hit on my left eye by a soccer ball while goal keeping. It was quite a hard kick(Or Ram) to my eye and there was a thick red line blocking the bottom part of my left eye vision. I rested for a day and when I went to see an eye doc, he said that there was nothing wrong, just a bit of blood at the back of my eye due to the impact. Now I have quite a few floaters like a big 8 which is horizontal. Has anyone experienced this? I know people who have floaters but their like small dots floating but are there people who have floaters which are big?
