My friend is travelling all the way to the city for a gynocologist and other doctors because she said her doctor from her native country told her only to go to hospitals that are part of a medical school.

A very intelligent MD friend of mine tells me that pt's who have had a high fever and resulting damage often, later along, start unexpectedly going into system failure one system at a time...due to a common mistake most MD's make.

The mistake is forgetting the pituitary gland's involvement. They see low TSH levels, thinking thus that all is going along well...but missing the pituitary gland, ultimately to the patient's demise.

Is this true? Can you describe more fully what he meant? Or direct me towards any articles on the subject? Any insight would be valued, even contradiction.

I have a friend who suffered a fever of 107F due to meningitis and septic shock. He made an amazing recovery (as the MD documented a 9% chance of survival and told the parents their son would die) and is getting better in rehab. I am his RN. I can slip an article in the chart with a note and let his MD's peruse. My friend is doing so well, I'd hate to see things turn around...

Thanks!

A few books I have read about medieval times suggest putting raw meat (generallt red meat) over a bruise to help it heal. It is generally on the face. I was wondering whether there was a scientific reason or whether it was just to reduce the swelling as they didn't have frozen peas in those days. Something to do with zinc or iron in the meat perhaps? It's just I thought they salted meat to preserve it as they had no cooling devices.

Twelve months into a strict low-GI, fish, plenty vegs, NO refined carbohydrates at all, RARE consumption of four-legged protein, has resulted into a 50% triglyceride fall -from 100 to 50-, but total cholesterol was unchanged in the same period.

How to account for this ?

All else being equal shouldn't both values have declined ?

Finally, on a relative-scale, which of the two is more significant in terms of risk ?

Thank you for your informed opinion.

help! i'm looking for statistics relating to the number of known diseases there are as of today in comparison of the number of diseases known a century ago (more or less). i need to prove that the number of diseases in the world tripled (or more) in today's time than that of a century ago. links to actual sites/tables/statistics would be very much appreciated.

one more thing...
opinion: do you think that (one of) the reasons why the number of known diseases escalated from a century ago because more diseases have been discovered now (as to having technology, etc). do you think these diseases where existing before but no one was able to "discover" them but now that we do know, the numbers just pile up.
follow up: what is the leading factor as to why the the number of diseases have grown tremendously (my assumption--i still need stats to prove it) in the last few decades?

much thanks to all who respond!

I had an upper respiratory infection last year and took the antibiotics for about a week and forgot the remaining days. (should have been 10). But I felt better. Then it seems like months later I had breathing problem again, not sure if it was common cold or same infection. I got better again w/o meds. Now a year later I've been feeling heavy in the lungs for about a 4 weeks. I wake up,clear my throat and spit solid dark colored phlegm for a few minutes. Is it possible I have the same infection? Doesn't the body kill off the infection eventually or become immune? Or can infections calm down and become dormant in the body, to attack again at a later time?
