They bribe doctors with Olive Garden, smoothies, sporting tickets and golf to prescribe their drugs to as many people as they can! This is crazy, everyone is on antidepressants and cholesterol drugs now! When will this madness stop?

I just went on a first aid course and after I was home I suddenly realised that at no point were we told to check for a pulse before commencing CPR (including heart massages).

I know it is a long time ago, but I was told when I was a Scout that if you did heart compressions on a beating heart it could stop it, so it should only be done on a stopped heart.

Has medical opinion changed or am I missing something? It seems odd that if someone is choking and you can't dislodge it you should start to massage their (possibly still beating normally) heart.

Anyone assist me?

Ever since I can remember, my ears pop when I swallow or yawn. I can also make them pop just by twitching my jaw muscles. Or maybe the sound is better described as a crackling kind of noise.
I've been to ear doctors before for other things, and they never noticed anything unusual and I never thought to mention it because I don't even notice it unless I pay attention to the sound. Doesn't bother me or anything, and I don't intend on going to the doctor for it.
I'm just curious about what causes this. I'm guessing it most likely has something to do with the Eustacean tubes? Has anyone ever heard of this kind of condition?

A couple days ago, I woke up because I had thrown up in my mouth, I didn't think anything of it. It happened again last night. I've been eating later because of my work hours and just started a new job last Monday, so things are kind of stressful. Today, I felt like crap all day, my stomach hurt and I felt like I constantly had to go to the bathroom(#2). I just came off of 10 days Ammox. for strep throat. Is any of this connected?

I recently had a sore throat that turned into a cold. And now I have phlegm in my throat but i can't simply cough it up (it feels like it decided it's going to stay this time). I did buy some medicine today, but I was wondering if there's anything extra I could do to make it go away, like eat/drink certain stuff ect.

Doing some reseach and it sounds like i 'may' have CTS? But i do not have all the symptoms. Started a few wks ago in my thumb. it felt like it was in the bone (not a muscle) then other parts of my hand started to hurt, & i was thinking perhaps arthritis (I am 31 yr female). 2 wks later I was restraining a dog at work who had proquipine quills in his face and it took every ounce of strenght to restrain him, took aprox 5 min and as the quills were in his face, I had to hold him at a funny angle. When i finally let go the pain in my hand was very intense. my hand swelled up but was down by the next day. Since then i have noticed the pain more..things like washing my hair, using a pepper grinder etc are hard. I do not wake up at night from pain, i do not have tingling or numbness. at times the pain goes up my wrist/arm and its not always in the same spot. seems worse at night but maybe just notice it more then?Iit is not getting better, feels worse.Thank you!!

I know that we get water in various ways - other drinks, fruits, vegetables, etc. But what would happen to your body long term if you don't drink enough pure water every day? I know that you could end up dehydrated, but what about other organ systems? Could you do irreversible damage to your liver or kidneys?

What is defined as self-harm? For example is scratching eczema considered self harming? Also how best can one help a friend who has admitted self harming, wants help but doesn't want to go through all the details of what's been happening? I know self harm can become a habit, and people revert to it as a release for stress and distress etc. How can this be broken so that it is no longer almost a natural reaction to take it out on yourself?
