Other - General Health Care - September 2006

The CNA who comes to our house daily consistently puts the drawsheet either at the patient's hips, or mid-back. I am having difficulty turning the patient and think probably the drawsheet should be higher on the back, so as to distribute the leaverage across the whole torso....and I think it would be easier on the patient, too, rather than having a tight pull on lower back. I think it would be gentler if placed higher. however, I don't want to be a know-it-all, since in fact I was not trained in this...and the CNA supposedly was???? I have mentioned before about the placement, and at least got her to come up higher than the hips, but I don't want to nag about bringing it even higher if I am wrong in my thinking.

I've been trying to get an issue worked out with my health insurance for weeks. I've called and left messages several times (probably 6-8 voicemails) and left an e-mail. Each time that I finally reach a person, they tell me that it'll be taken care of but it's not. It's been going on close to 6 weeks now and I'm reaching the end of my patience. Any advice?

My boyfriend has been sick since friday and it has just been getting worse. He has been throwing up, his whole body is weak, he has the chills, and he has a headache that is way worse than any migraine he has every had. He went to the doctor yesterday and they told him it was a viral infection and they dont kno why he has a headache. And if he wasn't better by today to go back to the doctor. Any other ideas what it could be???

I only have a drink when dining out or at a party. So I'm not what you call a big drinker. When I do drink, it's usually a mixed drink such as a Margarita, or Sangria. And sometimes a glass of wine. I can barely get one drink down before I start feeling light headed and dizzy. At the same time or shortly after, my heart starts pounding like crazy. This usually take hours before things go back to normal. My family (husband especially) says, "You can't be feeling like that. You've only had one drink. And not even finished at that!" Most times it starts after the second or third sip. Is it all in my head? How can my tolerance be this sensitive?

I just want to go into my doctors, offer to pay for the op and have it done next week! Is this possible?

I have a tiny mole on the tip of my nose that drives me nuts. A friend of mine had hers removed and the dr {plastic surgeon} left her a fairly large scar. I'm not looking to have someone remove my whole nose. Wondering if it can be done at home or something.

When night driving I see double road signs...and its hard to read them. I never had this problem with my gas permiable lenses or with glasses. I've had these contacts for about a month.
