Why is it that we're able to put a man on the moon, make a car that breaks the sound barrier, spilt uranium to make nuclear bombs but the only way to check if you have a healthy prostate is by a doctor sticking his hand up your *ss?

I do not know much about the body but hear things such as the brain sends "messages" to the nerves which send "messages" back and with the brain and body communicating we walk,talk etc. but if say you become paralyzed in someway other than the brain (leg,spine etc.) Does the brain go haywire? I know it does when one has a leg amputated (I saw a special the man mentioned suicide the pain was so bad. Obviously in that situation the brain is confused.)

I took a half of a oxycodone tablet sunday night and will probably have to take a pre emplyment drug test tuesday evening will only a half of a tablet it show up, or will it be to small a dose?


BTW it is a legal prescription it is just a year old and from where I had surgery, but I took the half of a tablet Sunday because I pulled something in my back and the half a tablet is the first painkiller I have took in over a year. I am not a druggy and just wanted to make that clear.


Also do old pills lose their potency, they expired 6 months ago?

I don't get ill too often and bought for the first time ever some cough medicine from Boots - the ingredients listed are:
Glycerol, Liquid Sugar, Glucose, Sucrose.

Now is it just me or is that pretty much just a bottle of sugary water I've bought? Surely there's got to be something more in it?

How the hell can that actually be sold as Medicine? Would I not have been as well off gargling a can of Coke?

Often the effects of psychiatric drugs are determined by comparisons with a placebo group. You may for example have a result that there were 40% responders to placebo and 50% responders to the drug.
You do seem to have a moral and ethical dilema here. For if you informed each user of a drug about the placebo effect , the percent responders may decrease.
Even though the placebo effect is so large compared to the combined effect you would never hear a doctor talk about this. On the other hand, you would hear a doctor talk about the active substance in the drug and neurotransmitters.
The person is not correctly informed about the treatment he or she is recieving. And on the other hand, this information itself may decrease the benefit to the patient.

What is your opinion?
Is the health of the patient more important than informed information?

I would like to have lasik eye surgery and notice that there is quite a difference in prices at different eye clinics. I need to know if the eye clinics in the larger cities and their doctors are actually good in this eye treatment. I don't want to risk my eyesight, just to save money. I am all about saving money and I don't mind the travel. I just need to check out the doctor's qualifications. Thank you
