I've heard that the gallbladder can be removed and, while some people can't eat foods high in fat afterwards without pain and/or vomiting, sometimes it doesn't effect the level of fat intake of a person. But how could a person eat any fat at all if the gallbladder is removed? Does the surgery involve rerouting bile from the liver or is there another substance that breaks down fatty substances?

I know our blood smells like metal because we have Iron in it. But it got me thinking...why is Iron and our blood and not any other metal. What is it about Iron that makes me better for us than anything else. I think I remember learning that Iron is a chelating agent, so is that the only reason?

Thanks!

I took one dose of Azithromycin and then had a party the next day at night and had alcohol. I have some kind of penile infection. The doctor never told me about taking alcohol nor the information about alcohol on Azithromycin. Is my antibiotic still effective inside me?

Hi.
I have a phobia of gasoline --particularly the smell.

I can't drive by a gas station without getting into a panic.

My question is ->
Will I get brain damage if I smell the air when
going past a gas station ...
or if I breathe in exhaust fumes when walking down the street ...

Or would I have to dip a towel in gas
and sniff it?

Medical studies and articles, and prescribing information for drugs, sometimes refer to differential effects in the "elderly".

Is there a standard definition of "elderly" in medical usage? Possibly it's an informal category, just as in normal speech. I'm trying to find out whether it has a precise medical definition.

Note that I'm not looking for guesses. Obviously anyone can guess, and I can guess myself. What I'm looking for instead is whether the word has a precise, generally accepted definition in medicine. If so, I'd like to know what the definition is (what cutoff age or age range).

Thanks.
