I am a small statured woman and the air bag hit me right in the face, causing a broken nose, abrasions on the side of my face (not pretty) and ruptured two dics in my neck and further injuring my spinal cord. The cracked up discs in my neck are pressing inwards against my spinal cord. This cost me my career as a legal secretary because the nerves that are affected in my neck go straight to my hands. I have to have surgery or I might pick up a suitcase one day and paralyze myself. Can anyone tell me if they were successful in any lawsuits regarding their injuries and the air bag?

My daughter has been diagnosed with head lice. I used the RID shampoo and the bugs were still moving. YES I left it on for 10 minutes. I then used the com out gel and it didn't work. I got the big bugs out but the nits are still in there. she has really curly hair and I even cut off over 6 inches of her hair because i thought it would help me get the nits out. I comb and conmb and they just stay clung to her hair. Somebodu told me to use my fingernails but there's not enough time int he day for me to go through and pick each one out by hand. ANY SUGGESTIONS on how to get them out more easily and effectively? I'm scared they are going to hatch even though I used that shampoo etc and then she's going to be covered in bugs AGAIN. Any helpful info would be SOOOO very much appreciated. Just thinking about it is making me itch.. I had to put a shower cap on her head to take her to the babysitters while I was at work to guarantee she wouldn't get those nits on the babysitters furniture. :-(

More specifically and straying from facts......1- Do you think that black people or white people are more common to get head lice? what is your assumption...

I had a discussion with a friend today and it really bothered me what they responded with. They said that Black people/children NEVER get head lice because their hair is too oily for the lice to stick to and that white people are the one's well known for having a propblem with head lice. I was unaware lice were racist or had an ethnic preference...so obviously you see why their response bothered me. They swore they had never known of a black person to have lice, but they have heard of white people always having a problem with head lice. Racist comment, I know. Regardless of what you were raised to think, what do you think as an adult. Please do not answer with a stereotype or a racist comment. My question is merely meant to find out what you think and know from personal experiences and what you have seen as fact, not your assumptions. So please think carefully before you respond and make sure your answer is based on fact, not assumption. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR INPUT

I keep my leg elevated all the time, yet my foot is still ice cold and swollen. I mentioned this to my doctor, and he told me to continue to elevate it. Do you think he is right, or is this an indication something is seriously wrong?

This question is only for young single guys from India.

the situation is the west is very, very different, so the western's answers will not mean much here.

If you are in a situation (e.g. a fracture) where your very personal and private daily routines like urinating, defecating, changing clothes and underwear, etc. has to be done by another person...... who would make you the most embarrasing choice and who would be the least embarrassing:

1. Your family member like a brother or father
2. Your friend
3. Your male cousin

Also tell me how embarrassed will you feel in the hospital if these acts are conducted by a female nurse.

I don't feel pain when this happens. But when I stretch my hams, esp. when they are tight from a leg workout, I will get a pop from both legs right in the middle of the muscle. Could this be bad?
