First Aid

I just went into the hospital and got an IV into my arm. The area where it was is red and the vain is traced in red all the way down my arm. What does this mean??

If you guys watch Bourne Supremacy,you'll notice the scene where Bourne perform CPR to the lady trapped in her car underwater.He supposed to pull her out of the vehicle and attempt to revive her on a dry land.Don't tell me a CIA agent can't perform CPR in logical manner.I've ask my friend who is a doctor about this and he told me that underwater CPR is rubbish and there's no way for us to perform CPR on a person underwater where you blow air into the person's mouth while he/she swallowed water into the lungs.Sounds kinda silly huh?I guess Bourne Supremacy is not worth watching when it comes to this particular scene.What do you guys think?

When you don't have pepto or tums or rolaids at hand I was wondering if ginger in the coffee or tea would help.

I was accidentally splashed with boiling water and now have a 2nd degree burn on my lower left back/hip. Is it possible to swim in water with cholrine in it with a burn like this, or would it cause more damage? Thanks for answering my question!

My dad, my brother and I all suffer from (I don't know the technical term),cracked skin, like small razor cuts on fingers and sometimes the toes, when the weather changes here in Fl. It is EXTREMELY painful, and takes days and days to heal just like any wound. All 3 of us are in diff. lines of work (dad's retired). My mom, other brother & sister aren't affected.
We have tried everything, year around, to try to find a solution. I've done oil bathes faithfully, hand-cream every night, gloves on, gloves off, udder creme, crack creme.....you name it....I've tried it!
And still, already 2-3 weeks ago, the humidity went down, temp. dropped to high 60's(at nite!), and BAMM. 3 cuts. I used to love this time of year so very much and now all I seem to do is think about is the pain of going through another 6-7 months of this again.
I first remember this happening on a trip with my husband to the NC mountains in the mid-80's. In Dec.
Thanks for any insite

and it has been there as long as i can remember. Anyway, yesterday when I put my seatbelt on I felt pain, and touched my neck and it was the skin tag. Well, same thing today - and my boyfriend noticed tonight that it turned really really dark brown?!? usually it's the color of my skin and totally 100% unnoticable. It hurts and is dark brown now. WHAT'S WRONG????

They are OLD little tiny grooming scissors and are rusted a bit and it went through my sock and poked a tiny hole in my big toe.

Do you think I need to update my tetness shot? I can't actually remember when I got one last?

How come you can be prosecuted for impersonating a police officer but not for posing as an EMT or Paramedic.

My husband has these two warts on his elbow that keep reappearing. He has used the Dr Scholl's treatments (the liquid, the medicated discs, the freezing solution) and they worked once, where the whole wart came off (it kind of had a cone shape to the end to it). But now they are back and won't budge.

He's gone to the doctor's and had them freeze it a few times. It did nothing. He's told to come back every two weeks to refreeze it. It's such a hassle! Is there anything that can be done at home to get rid of pestering warts?
