Medicine - June 2007

I was many years ago told I had bipolar when I had a breakdown from my mother dying in a house fire. I was also shifted into a foster home when i was small as my stepfather was not very nice to me. Now my life has turned upside down again. My xhusband has taken our children after I have been the sole carer for the last five years all by myself. His bases of the court case have been centeralised on my biopolar. They have now once again forced me to take lithium and i also have put on weight and cannot function and have to rely on others to do things for me. They have threaten me if i do not take these drugs i will never see my children again. I functioned normally and looked after my children up to them being taken off me now i have nothing. Has anyone got any suggestions. I do not even have anywhere to stay as the family home also had to be sold as my x has just got remarried.

I have read in a newspaper report that waiting just 2 min before cutting the umbilical cord of a new born baby gives it a significant health boost as it reducs the risk of blood disorders. why is it so?

For my homework i have to research a mistake made by scientists, the consequences of that mistake, why they made it and how it could have been prevented. Something like a drug which seems to help but instead ends up in severe side effects such as disabilites.

Please can you give me as much detail as possible.

Thanks

I posted a question earlier about my little brother's reaction when we use these two on his cuts and scrapes, and a few people mentioned how you're not supposed to use it for that purpose. However, that is what it's marketed for, and both peroxide and alcohol are sooo inexpensive. I know one burns the crap out of you while the other bubbles, but I thought this was a good thing. We've been using it in my household since I was little....however, if this is not the truly not the right thing to use, then i'd like to know so that we will no longer rely on it. I't just a habit for me...whenever I get a cut or something I go for the alchohol, peroxide, and cotton balls. lol Old habits die hard I guess. So do these two truly make the wound worse rather than heal? Thanks!

I don't see any warnings to indicate this, but it just seems like it would be an overload on the liver in one day. Health care professionals, is this true? How much alcohol (roughly) can safely be consumed with 600 mg of Advil?

I am going to be a junior in high school in the fall.
I go to a small private school and my school doesn't offer any AP or honors science or math classes.
It is my dream to be a doctor. I want it more than anything.
I am just afraid that when I go to college and especially med school, that I am going to be lost.
Is there anything I could do to prepare?
Being a doctor is my dream and I will do anything to achieve it.
