When getting a Life Insurance Policy, one must place an oral swab in their mouth for a pre-determined period. I know that it is to check to see if you are a smoker or non-smoker. So what chemical is the company looking for? Nicotine ? Tar? IfI have not smoked in 8 months will they find anything? What about if I smoked a marijuana joint last night?

If so, what happened. How did you feel? A doctor humiliated me once for a common condition I had no control of.

What about you? Any experiences with insensitive doctors?

I have an assignment that has me stranded on a deserted island and I was wondering if just drinking the ocean water would be an option or if that could be fatal in the end?

My throat hurts and my nose is constantly running and I'm sneezing a lot. Also I am so tired and I can't do many things with my muscles. Like if I try to walk up the stairs, I will get tired very very easily. Do I have a cold? Something worse? Something less bad (or however you say it)? And please nothing inaproppriate! Thanx!!!!!

Okay, so short of asking him to shave more often, theres no way to prevent whisker burn. Whats the best way to treat it then? I've been handling it like a sun burn but i dont know if thats the best idea. I wont put any petrolium product on my skin, so vaseline is a no go. Any other suggestions?

I am a nurse at a small hospital. Today i went in to work, expecting a good day since yesterday was good.. but instead I have 10 patients on a busy unit, and the other girl that I'm working with is a fresh graduate nurse who just got off orientation herself. She needs help with some stuff since theres things she hasnt done yet. No lunch break today and hardly time to pee. By the end of my day, i was so upet that I just wanted to cry. I had 10 of my own, plus helping the other girl out with her things, plus the wonderful family members.. Its too much to handle. My manager said that she's sorry, but sometimes these things happen and theres nothing we can do. I think that we need to find a better solution because things are getting so much worse that I am ready to leave the profession, and its a job I love very much. Am I wrong for being this upset? I only have 2 yrs experience myself so its frustrating. Any suggestions how I can talk to my boss?

I am only 29 have my own business and three children at home. I exercise and this only increases my fatigue. I can eat and get a "burst of energy" then in less than 2 hrs I feel like I need to lay down and go to sleep? Also having frequent body aches and headaches? Some days are worse than others. Can the hair loss and fatigue be related? Not depressed!
