General Health Care - August 2007

I broke my nose a while ago and it's changed physically and I can't breathe at all (and it hurts to breathe through the top of my nose, the bone hurts or something). I saw the ENT a week ago or so and he said I had a deformity (cartilage). So I guess I have a deviated septum. If he does fix it, will it change the tip? Cause I think you can definitely tell...

Because I broke it I also have a bump on the top. If they break my nose and reset it, will it be smoothed down liek it was before?

And for Canadian residents, usually how long does it take to wait for this surgery? I live in Toronto and was wondering... they'll probably do it at the Hospital I'm guessing. I think insurance will fully cover it.

If so, where can I find it? Also, can a nurse place a video surveillance camera in a patients room - or does the authorization need to come from the person or the persons guardians?

Thanks for your time!!!!!!!

Well i don't where glasses, but this question just kinda popped into my mind. If so how do you do it?

p.s.: i am not trying to do that of course and i am just saying this because even though its obvious, some jackholes here tend to take advantage of any oppurtunity of trying to put someone down over a really obvious question, mistake, etc.

I am an accountant. I know this sounds shallow, but radiologists make a ton of money. Is it too late for me to become one? What would I have to do?

There is something definately wrong with me. I ache in my bowel area constantly and it has gotten worse recently. I have no insurance and no prospects of insurance until October. I don't think I can wait that long though.

I go to many health-care reform meetings in Wisconsin, and seldom see one doctor there. Do they only want to care for the rich?

I strained my quad yesterday shooting a soccer ball, and I'm planning on practicing again tomorrow. What are some things that I can do in the meantime, besides icing, to make it feel better? And what can I do to help deal with the pain while playing on it?
