About a month ago, my husband went to the E.R. because while he was at work (he's a mechanic), a tiny piece of metal went into his eye. Unfortunately we don't have health insurance, so we knew we were gonna get a bill in the mail. Well, while he was at the hospital, they took a look at his eye, put a little solution in it, and told him that they didn't have the proper tools to remove the metal so they set him up an appointment at another hospital with a doctor who could remove the metal for the next morning. The next day he went, they removed the metal, and he paid right then (a little over $200). Well, we received a bill in from the FIRST hospital because he did go to the ER and it was for $571!! Then another bill from that same FIRST hospital for $435! When I called they said one bill was hospital fees, the other was doctor fees. This seems outrageous because they didn't even do anything for him! I can understand a fee, but this high?? What do you think?

I got into an accident with the thorn bushes in my backyard. They sliced up both my calfs pretty good. And I mean real good. The scratches wrap around my calfs. I washes the cuts and then put bandaind. Should I just keep washing and then replacing the bandaids?

I was playing dodgeball with my brother and I threw one. When I came through the tip of my finger smoked it(I threw it my hardess). It is about 45 minutes after the injury. Its not swollen up, but it hurts when I press on it and it is still warmer than all of my other fingers.

I've been really sedentary during the last month, sitting at my computer for many, MANY house (even when I should be sleeping). I sit in lots of positions, including with 1 or both legs folded under me... or propped up, lol. The past week or so I've noticed that my left knee (probably the one that's usually twisted?) is cracking every time I kneel down, and when I flex the leg out straight, it's painful. Did I injure it somehow just from sitting for long periods of time?

This is scaring me though, because I've been checked for lupus before (tests came out "borderline," and later "negative"). Could it be related to that? Or am I just getting old? (If it matters, I'm 28 and of normal / slender weight.) Anything I can do to strengthen / calm the knee at this point?

Thanks in advance... I appreciate any help.

My toe got smushed really bad tuesday,, and my toe nail is blue... like bruised and stuff. Well they told me I had to either get a needle and poke through it to get all that blood out, or go to the doctor and have them do it. But, what if I dont get the blood out? What if I just wait until the nail falls off without sticking a needle in there. Will it get infected & theyll have to cut off my toe or will nothing happen. Please be 100% sure when answering this question.

yesterday was a really bad day. it was a bad day because i was tring to help my dad take christmas lights down and i was on the roof and i fell off and i had to be brought to the hospital by an ambulance because i was unconcious. when i go to the hospital the doctors took a ct scan of my left knee and the found out that i tore my acl. and i am scheduled to have surgery in two weeks. doctors come into my room every day and press on my abdomen just to rule out any abdominal injuries as i go along. they do this because when the accident happended i fell off of the roof on my knee and my stomach. as you know i am still in the hospital, and the doctor that came into my room this afternoon (around 3:45) was pressing on my stomach, and when the doctor pressed on the left side i swear to god it hurt like hell and the same thing happended when the doctor pressed on the right side. what do you think this could be. the doctors have to wait on an x ray till tonight.

Can you do this or is it just fiction.

For example , say for some reason one of your fingers gets cut off, could you get it reattached and working like normal?

I had nose surgery close to 11 months ago and it came out uneven. Its not very obvious at first but you can still tell. I have had people tell me that my left side looks wide. I denied this to myself hoping that it will go away but it hasnt. When I touch it I feel a bony protusion there. The surgeon is board certified and overall a good one. I told him about it and he says it will go away meanwhile i went to another surgeon for advice and he says it wont. He says all the swelling is down. I left my doctors office agreeing to come back in 5 mos but i know it wont go away. I feel that the doctor should take blame or be responsible and offer me methods towards this. And the funny thing is that i had to go up personally to make a follow up appointment bcause they would deny me one on the phone. Does any one know what to do? like can i sue him? or does he have to offer revision surgery for free? please any answers?? thanks

I have been diagnosed first at the hospital as having myofacial back pain.sent to physio where I was diagnosed as having wad 2 (whiplash stage 2) The medication does nothing to help. It has been six weeks from the car accident I happened to be a passenger in. I was sitting in our van between my little ones with a seatbelt on. (it only was a lapbelt) Rear ended. I have pain in my neck, come and go but extreme headaches, pain between my spine and my shoulder blades, a shoulder that feels like it will drop off at my arm. My right hand has two fingers that fall asleep. Sharp pains like i am stabbed in my mid back when I walk, Extreme low back pain, which never goes away. When I sit I get pains in my legs fast that gives the feeling like when you are hit fast by a shopping cart, but the pain stays. I cant stay on my feet long, My legs ache , left hip, and back gets sore.A hot bath makes numb left foot. How long does all this pain last. Has anyone healed past all this and how?

On Tuesday I was walking down some steps in my residence hall and about halfway down a flight I slipped and fell. I slid down the remaining steps and I felt something tug in my neck like I had hit my head, only I had not. My right ankle hurt for awhile, but I did not notice any swelling, I just had trouble walking on it. I woke up Wednesday morning and my entire body was sore, especially my ankle, my neck and my shoulders. Does anybody have any advice on what I should do? Nothing is swollen, and I take Aleve, however I am having trouble sleeping due to the neck pain-I wake up every hour. Please help!
