Medicine - September 2006

A friend of mine, named Sterling, has an oddly shaped chest. Its kind of concaved looking. When someone asked him about it he said that his heart was a size too small. I can't find anything about that sort of condition online. Is it a real body defect? He doesn't do alot of running or strenuous exercise as far as I know and he's never complained about being anemic or anything. Can people really have small hearts? What would you call that kind of condition?

I just looked at a sample MCAT test today, and I noticed that the questions weren't that hard. Is it "over-rated." I've heard that other tests like the PCAT are much harded.

My daughters father and I are doing a paternity test. Since he lives in NY and I in NH, we are doing a by mail one through a company called GeneTree. How reliable are these tests. They reccomend that you send in the mothers DNA as well...how come?

This has been going on for a two months. I've had two periods that were regular and normal so I know I'm not pregnant. The first time I threw up I thought it was just because I abused my body by eating junk food the day before and having some alcohol and running around all day on little sleep. I'm 32. When I wake up I don't like to eat right away. I like to wake up and get moving first. But then I start feeling weak and I feel my blood sugar drop. Then my stomach feels sick and I can't stand the thought of food and I throw up. I went to the doctor and had fasting blood work done and I didn't have diabetes at time. That was a few months ago. What could be wrong with me?

Okay in one of my classes we were talking about animal testing in cancer research. Well one girl was saying how horrible it was and talking out of her @ss (keep in mind I have had cancer) So my reply was, "Do you eat meat? Have you ever taken antibiotics? Have you ever had a vaccination for polio or anything else? etc. etc." All these things exist from animal research. I LOVE animals but like seriously unless you don't associate with ANY of the things I mentioned plus many, many more I don't think they can say anything negative about research cause its ignorant and nauseatingly hypocritical. Anyone agree or disagree??

I am not sure if there is a specific name for it. I am interested in the nursing field and I am pretty sure that I want to be the nurse that takes care of the newborns in the nursery.
