I've known that medical doctors are not allowed to treat their own family members; however, my girlfriend is a med student and comes from a family of doctors (she'll make the fourth generation), and she tells me that not treating one's own family only came about in the last few decades - in the 1950s such was commonplace for physicians. Can anyone confirm and perhaps shed some light on the past?

I am going on a cruise, and I dont want to have to worry about taking a bunch of pills with me, and/or them getting lost. I want to take the patch with me, but a friend of mine says only a doctor can prescribe it? What is the name of it, so I can ask my doctor for it?

If they took the oath, is to protect all life, as far as they can, or only in their work as doctors, but not their life outside that field.

It doesn't make sense to me, to train as a doctor, to then maim people!

I'm very interested in having the LAP Band surgery. I have a few concerns. I am curious to know if anyone out there can tell me if there is a drug test to take before hand, and if so, will marijuana in my system be a factor in possible denial for the surgery? I just need to know if I should quit before I go for my blood work.

What affect does it have on you?

I heard that there are 2 methods.

1. Peripheral blood stem cell collection

(MOST current and common method)…..You are given small injections of Neupogen/Filgrastin for 3 to 5 days to force your marrow to overproduce marrow or stem cells which are then released into your circulating blood. The stem cells are collected by removing blood from a vein in your arm, passing it through a filter system, which collects the stem cells and returns the remaining blood to you…a 2 to 3 hour procedure.

2. Marrow harvest….

You are given light general anesthesia so that you feel nothing during the procedure. Only 2% to 3% of your marrow is withdrawn from the large crest of your hipbone through special sterile needles .. a 60 minute procedure. You may go home the same day.

Which one is less painful. What is the success rate of transplantation?

I want feedback from actual donors also. Thanks.

Do you think it's possible that what a person feels or sees during a near death experience is explained merley as a consequence of a "biological shutdown" of the brain? Basically what I'm asking here is whether it is possible that those experience are triggered by the brain as the neurons begin to die?

Please stick to the question, I don't need religous types of answers!

My doctor presribed Lamisil for my jock itch and I have been using it for about 3 weeks now and haven't seen any changes or any signs of the jock itch going away or getting better. It is still the same and seems like it is just getting worse!

Anyone had the same experience? Has anyone had jock itch and used Lamisil which didn't work? And then what medication was used that cured it?

What medication is best to cure jock itch????

Please help me!

Help please! Serious answers please! I am suffering with this jock itch since April...so that is 4 months with jock itch now!
:*( :( :(

Thanks!

I'm interested in subject books and all-inclusive books. Which books have you found to be most helpful? I've looked mostly at the Princeton Review books and the Kaplan books. I'm grateful for any opinions!

The tanto is long enough to go through the human body, so I'm thinking it'll probably be stopped by the vertebrae if the practitioner buries the tanto all the way in his (or her) stomach...
