HI! I live in Europe and the reason I post this question here is because it is too late at night to call any of my family and friends for an advice. I managed to hit my head into a concreet pillar this evening (It is almost comedy story), and i have two cuts , just under my eyebrow, about 1-1,5 centiemeters long. They stoped bleeding after i desinfected them but seem to be deep. I wonder if I need stiches? In what cases are stiches made? And if I need them, do I need to go now to the emergrncy room or is it enough to wait till morning? I mostly expect answers from poeple who have qualificatins in the area of medecine. Thnak you in advance for all ur care and answers.

My friends husband woke up in the middle of the night and it was cold out side. He got very upset when he noticed his wife and son down the hall had the windows open and the fan on low. He firmly said they were "stupid" that it didn't make any sence at all and no wonder they get sick! I'm sure he was still a little groggy and irritated but still isn't that harsh? Fresh air is fresh air... no? -west coast

I am interested in who is eligible for this. Someone told me that I should check it out, because I no longer have health insurance, and have a few things that need to be fixed health wise. I am 21, a full time college student, and have no income. I currently live with my boyfriend, but we are not married, he makes almost 40 a year, but his 19 year old sister lives with us, along with his 76 year old father who is being put on medicaid. My financial aid and loans completely cover my school funds, because even with my dads income added in, it is not enough for school. He also does not have insurance because he can not afford it. My boyfriend has it through his work, but will they count his income too even though my permanant address is my dads? Please leave some info on this. I looked it up, but could not find much on eligibility for it. Thanks.

I am a student nurse and at clinicals was told to clean a patient and chnage the bed. The bed was soiled with stool and blood, so I wore a yellow gown and double gloves. I had a cat scratch in my arm, so thats why I wore the gown. I didnt wear a mask or a face shield, since bllod wouldnt splash me in the face....later the nurse informed me that the patient was HIV positive...now IM freakin out....What are the possibilities I probably got it from changeing the soiled bed with blood...? Thanks...am just so worried...

I have been trying to sleep every night, but I can't seem to sleep at all. I get drowsy and tired in the day, but don't sleep thinking it will let me go in the night but thats not working. I sometimes take a warm bath/ shower to see if that will help, no. I also work out even harder than before to see if that will help, no. Does anyone have a Idea without the help of a doctor, but maybe a doctors theory?

My schedule requires me to be awake early, which I have no problem with, but what time should I probably go to bed?

I want to build the habit of waking up this early.
Thnks! =D

I know this sounds gross and no I have not done it...I swear!
But my grandmothers boss at the time told her that her own pee can cure acne. Also I read from other countries like Ireland and India its being practice but not openly so.

But they say your pee can cure fungus of your toe nails,pain,and possible can cure cancer.

But has anyone tried pee as a cure and does it really work for most things?

I have a sore throat, and I want to eat a bowl of chili. Like the spicy kind with the beans and meat and all. So I'm wondering, will the spiciness make my throat worse? Or is it okay to eat the chili? I don't want to make my throat even worse than it is now. Also, the chili is a little spicy.

Over the last couple of days, I've drank a couple more cups of tea than I normally do. At the same time, I've also noticed that I've been sweating more. I don't usually sweat excessively so if I cut down to normal tea intake tomorrow, will this go back to normal?

Cheers.

Each time I need a refil, my consistantly takes between 3-5 days to send a simple fax back...this means I have to go several days without medication.

For whatever reason, she writes short prescriptions, so I either have to keep going back to the Dr or ask for refils (as she suggest I do!!), but she is painfully SLOW.

Is this common??
