Other - Health - September 2006

I am a senior in a medical technology program. A degree in medical technology involves taking general classes for 2 years, then being in the program for 2 years, which includes clinical rotations in several hospital laboratories. I will graduate in May. I plan to take organic chemistry and physics over the summer, take the MCAT in August and work as a med. tech. for the next year while I wait to see if I get into med school. For the first two years of college, I had a 3.2 GPA, after getting into the medtech program and taking medical related classes that were more interesting my GPA is now 3.6 and I hope to bring it up to a 3.7 before its over. I don't have much volunteer experience or extracurricular activities. My references are not great. I want to become a doctor more than anything. It is the most rewarding career I can think of. I just want to get into my state med school. I have concerns that I won't, but everyone I know says they are sure I will. What do you think?

I have a presentation this week and just thinking about it makes me want to faint! I stutter, I go red, and I can't present without reading off cue-cards no matter how much I have memorized it. I am usually not a quiet or introverted person, but I am presenting in front of a group of intellectuals who will slam me if I can't answer one question. Help!

My 10 month old has a fever, and I can't get ahold of the pediatrician. Does anyone have that little chart that says the correct dosage for Tylenol's concentrated liquid for infants? She weighs about 17/18 lbs. I can't seem to find mine!

(BTW, before anyone makes a dumb comment, on the box it just says under age 2 call the doctor for dosage.)

When I was about 9 years old, I was told that I had 20/10 eyesight after an examination. I thought 20/20 was perfect.

I don’t know about you, but when I hear the word “Doctor”, I feel comfort and trust within me. Having many doctors and nurses in my immediate and extended family has taught me this trust. For years and years, I have had this innate trust in me. It was shattered yesterday……when the doctor I’ve been going to for more than two years, tried to take advantage of me. At the moment, my first instinct was to just run away and protect myself, but now that I look back, I wonder what else I could have done back then, and what I can do now.

Being in a country that doesn’t attribute too much importance to women’s rights, I know within my heart that there isn’t much I can do. Even if I try to seek justice, I might never get it. If I do, it shall come at TOO big a cost. The cost being- “spoiling my family’s name” in “society” and as a result being ostracized and excluded from the “good, respected” people. Furthermore, there’s the fear of being alienated within my own family. So what must I do?? Fo

By 'object' I mean they get offended and makes demands for euphemisms.

Dictionary definitions concur that people with excess body fat are indeed 'fat'. So what's the beef? Can we no longer call a spade a spade? - The word 'fat' is not perjorative but the condition in excess is demonstrably negative from a health point of view and austhetically displeasing to the majority of people. Are some fat folk trying to impose a form of denial on the rest of us and reinforce their own delusions?

Web Definitions: having much flesh (especially fat); having a relatively large diameter; adipose tissue; excess bodily weight; a chubby body.

Help! Im male, 23 and i have plenty of these little humps of pus on my chest. They have been around for quite sometime. They are under my skin...looks something like a mosquito bite, just smaller, and evenly distributed. They are not obvious and has no color on the surface. They do not hurt and are not red like pimples...and the pus are deeper under my skin than pimples. I am sure they are not pimples and they appear only on my chest.

I can squeeze the pus out of some of them, but some are deeper, sometimes I get so annoyed I use a needle to pierce them, and the whitish pus would rush out.

I have seen a few doctors regarding this but they say its not cancerous and not harmful. But they look awful! sometimes they leave scars after i pierce them...any clue what are they and what can i do?

Last night when I went to bed I realized the front of my left leg, from below the knee to about 4 inches above my ankle, was mostly numb. I thought I would just sleep it off and it would be fine, but it's the same this morning. However, my left arm is very achy this morning and my left hand is a little weak. I know I slept on that arm last night, so I'm wondering if that is why it aches so bad. Also, I had a few drinks last night, if that makes any difference.

My questions are what could it be and should I be worried? What should I do? The only thing open is urgent care, and I don't know if this warrants that. Thanks!
