I am the owner of a scrub store and currently the only product, other than our wonderful 100% cotton scrubs, that we sell are stethoscopes. What are you looking for in a scrub store. What other items would you be interested in? shoes, bags, socks - would you really buy this stuff??

A wasp sting I received less than 24 hours ago has caused my hand to swell up like a baseball mitt, with a good deal of pain in the extended swelling region. A 24-hour ready-care doctor told me to keep taking benadryll and gave me an Rx for cephalexin (500mg), an antibiotic.

OK. I'm not a biological genius (I'm actually an environmental engineer), but I know that sting poison works by injecting heavy poisons that your body reacts to. This is not bacteria, so I do not understand why he would give me an antibiotic. There are NO open wounds or sores, so I just can't see how the swelling is a bacterial infection.

Is this guy a quack or what? Shouldn't he have given me some steroid or something to control the swellng?

I live on a busy main road and work night shift so i sleep with earplugs everyday, until i've saved enough money for a double glazed window.
Anyway the wax must be getting pushed deeper into the ear, has anyone slept with plugs frequently for a long period of time and any harmful side effects?

I woke up with swollen lips this morning for seemingly no apparent reason, though I do believe it was from taking two different sinus medication yesterday. They're not exactly chapped, though they do burn just slightly. I have plans tonight, is there anything I can do that might help reduce the swelling fairly soon?

I sleep in my car alot. The seat lays down so its comfortable and I just got the windows tinted so people can't see me easily. The only problem is that it smells like a dog house. Its not a strong odor. I vaccume it all the time and constantly spray air freshner. Nothing seems to work. I had a friend who had a deionizer in his apartment. When I walked in the air felt good, and smelled good to breath. I wonder if I could put a small one in my car?

Lead contamination?
What would be the steps a pregnant woman or a family with young children should take to reduce the chances of lead leaching into the drinking water, since lead contamination of water is a significant problem in many older buildings?

If you received social security the first time without being denied, what was it for and what details did you give? I don't want to hear from the people that want to say you allways or most people get denied the first time, I know all that. Also, I had my SS interveiw today and don't feel something is right. The worker took the information of all my jobs for the last 15 years, but would only take information concerning my disabilitys for the last year (doctors I see or saw, ER visits etc...). But a think a few years ago when I applied they wanted ALL the information I had concerning my disabilitys, (docs...). I had a list of 20+ medical visits and hospital stays that have to do with my disabilities since 2001 that show how I have been suffering and mental diagnoses etc.......Did YOU need all that? Or JUST the last year?

I have a concern and maybe some of you can help me. I have been in chronic pain and out of work for months now. It started in January when I went to see my regular Doctor who felt I had carpal tunnel. She referred me to an orthopedic who agreed so then referred me to a Neurologist. This Neurologist said it wasn't carpal tunnel. He ordered some MRI's to rule out MS. Then before even looking or discussing the MRI's with me...he diagnosed me with thoracic outlet syndrome and started doing nerve blocks and trigger point injections. He said this was all work related so I filed workmans comp and got an attorney. WEll...nothing he did helped...actually I am much worse than I was in January. I'm really scared. I pulled my MRI report that shows some problems in my cervical spine. 2 Herniated discs, straightening of the lordosis and spondylosis (degenerative disc disease). THis was never brought to my attention! Now what do I do? Did he screw up and make things worse? what a mess

I think I scratched the inside of my bottom eyelid on the outer corner yesterday when I tried to wipe a few cotton fibers from a towel out of my eye (it hurts like hell when they get stuck under my contacts)--there's a small bump about two mm in diameter, and it hurts to close that eye (not to keep it closed, just actually closing it hurts). It was slightly bigger this morning (about 2 1/2 hours ago), but someone told me to put Neosporin on it and it's gotten smaller, however I'm not exactly sure if it hurts any less. My eye was never swollen and it only hurts if I actually touch my eye where the small bump is (which is why it hurts when I blink), but I don't know if I should do anything; I'm not paranoid and I think it's getting better, but I don't know much about these things and although I really don't want to go to the doctor (it always takes at least a few hours with the wait and everything and I have a lot of work I need to get done today) I'll go if this sounds really serious.
