I am just curious because i hear about so many people on TV getting stabbed and stuff so i am wondering how much does it hurt?

Like let say i get stabbed where my abs are how much would it hurt?

Or what about my chest?

And if i was stabbed in my heart would it instantly kill me? Would i feel pain before i die?

Yes i know they are stupid questions but i am always curious.

I have an 18 hour flight to China in about 4 days and I wanted to sleep on the plane to pass the time and help with jet lag. I have a hard time getting to sleep on planes; so I was wondering what a good over the counter sleep aid would be? I've taken DIphenhydramine HCL, and it hasn't seemed to really work at all. Thanks!

My college's Basketball coach said that if you take a hot shower or bath within "72" hours(he admitted he was unsure of the time) of getting sore muscles from a workout then it can cause an injury, or something bad. because of this, he reccomends cold showers until after that "72"(or whatever) time period. this sounds ridiculous to me, as my entire life i have taken a hot bath after a workout, or the next day when my muscles are sore, and i feel that it really helps relieve the pain. is there any merit in what he is claiming? thanks in advance

I got my new insurance card in the mail today. On it, it has a list of what my co-pays are for different services. Office Service, Emergengy Room, Inpatient, etc. In the same list it mentions RX Formulary ($8/$15) and RX Non-Formulary ($25/$25). What does this mean? Is the price difference between generic and name brand? Is one better than the other?

I read an article about a device that chiropractors use to put disc's back into place. Its called the Pro Adjuster, If anyone has first hand knowledge about the device I would like to hear from you. I suffer from a bulging disc in my lower. I'm looking for an alternative to surgery, from what I hear your back is never the same after surgery. So if anyone has used it before, could you tell me if it works or how much it costs to have this done.

I take a bath every morning and my friends, who take their showers at night, think it's stupid and pointless. They say that your just gonna get dirty again and go to sleep like that. So which is better, to bathe at night or in the morning?

I have recently starting having migranes and I had my eyes checked, their fine. So my mom suggested going to a Chiropractor. I went and it turns out the upper part of my spine is curved to the right a little and my neck is completely straight, causing my migranes. The chiropractor said I should come and get "adjusted" 3 times per week to fix this. I thought this was crazy considering I thought I was fine so I got a 2nd opinion from another chiropractor, he said that I should just stretch and move my neck more while I'm at work and it will get better over time, he didn't take x-rays or anything and told me not to worry about it. Now, I have 2 chiropractors saying 2 completely different things, what should I do? My insurance doesn't cover it and it's $35 each time I go. I just want to find out what's wrong and get it fixed without getting ripped off. Have any of you ever had to go to a Chiropractor, did they help? Please help....thanks...
