Medicine - September 2007

Can weather really make you feel bad, like if it's raining and you're inside all day, will the rain outside really cause a change in your mood/healthiness? I would think not, but I don't know, science/medicine can be strange sometimes.

After my emergency appendectomy, my anesthesiologist said I was very difficult to intubate because of my arthritic cervical spine and slightly recessed mandible. My uvula and posterior pharyngeal wall were quite sore for a day or two. If I need further surgery, how can this be handled?

I am asking this very abstractly.

What are the drugs that are used in medication? What drugs can be used for medication? What drugs are grown from the ground and what are manufactured?

What illnesses is each drug used for?

Dictionaries define the word ’doctor’ as ‘learned’, ‘teacher’, ‘most highly qualified’ etc. However, at least in our country, doctors are among the most ignorant. It may be natural for a doctor not to know much about hydro-geology. It may be possible for him not to be aware of the latest breakthroughs in astro-physics. But for a doctor not know much about Medicine, or not to be aware of the developments in his specialty is not only untenable, but also dangerous and criminal. Yet, there are thousands of doctors in our country who do not know much about Medicine, as it is practised today. Most of these doctors, it will be surprising to know, are very busy practitioners. I personally know of professors of Medicine who advise patients of Rheumatoid Arthritis to get Ayurvedic help since there is no drug in Modern Medicine (still erroneously and unfortunately called Allopathy, meaning “approximate”) for this disease. This is when even the most basic of textbooks of Medicine has a few pages discussing the drugs available for the treatment of this disease. Of course, the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis, like that of most other medical illnesses, is developing and improving continually.

“Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine”, the most trusted and respected resource on General Medicine all over the world, says, “Medicine is an ever-changing science.” It is estimated that about 50% of the medical knowledge is replaced by new, scientifically researched, proven and more robust information every ten years. This would mean that a person who qualified ten years ago and since has not tried to update his knowledge is 50% outdated. He may be more dangerous than the diseases that he treats!

One important contribution for ignorant doctors come from private medical colleges. People purchase their degrees from these business institutions. Not much is taught or learned in most of these places.

Paradoxically, it is frequently a blessing for a doctor not to know much. If one knows enough and well, relevant differential diagnoses (the other likely possibilities that must be excluded) will come to the mind when seeing a patient. It may make investigating and treating rather difficult, given the peculiar milieu of our country.

It is important to introduce new legislation that makes it compulsory for doctors to renew their license every year after passing an examination designed to prove that their medical knowledge is up-to-date. It is unclear why the Government are reluctant to make any move in this direction, though one can make a few guesses.

A close friend of mine has told me she regularly takes from 30- 50 2mg Xanax at a time. She is a single mum going through a rough time and I am worried she will OD. She is also taking Prozac and mixing alcohol to the mix to top it off. What can I do to help get her some help, and what would be the physical and/or mental effect this is having on her? Please help...

Science seems to be so, stuck in research, that the time it takes to actually say something, we have all thought and knew long ago. eg. chemicals in food create imbalance in body. (Todays news item)
What is all the proving needed for. Can "science" not wake up a little bit earlier and listen to intelligence, or does it always have to "prove" it.

2007-09-06 07:03:16 · 7 answers · asked by whisper2ya 2

My son is 14 months and didn't have his 12 months shots because of a problem with medicaid. He is now off of medicaid because my husband's pay went up so we are just waiting to add him to the insurance in Nov. Well I know good and well he can not wait until Nov. to get his 12 month shots.

My problem is, are the shots at the health department the same as at the doctor's office? From what my pedi's office told me when he had his first set is that they are different. Even medicaid patients get different shots (same type but different brand) compared to the ones with private insurance at the doctor's office.

If I have them done at the pedi's office then I will be billed around $800 for the visit so paying a payment of $50 a month on top of my copay when he needs to go in wouldn't be possible with our budget. I'm lost as to what to do. I want my son to get the best shots possible and with the thought of autism caused by shots, that worries me. I also want him to have a check up.
