I have a CD of the images but the Dr. says it will be next week before I know the results. Can anyone read them and give me a clue?

Vitamin bottles generally state on their lables the health benifits you get if you use the product. Every bottle of vitamins sold in the us has a message high lighted on the lable somewhere, by the food and drug administration. it reads....
" These statements have not been evaluated by the food and drug administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease"
Vitamins have been on the shelves many decades now. Why hasen't the FDA evaluated these statements ? If they haven't evaluated them, then how did they come up with the warning that they're not intended to treat, cure, or diagnose disease. Also this message does not appear on any drug bottles. Why does the FDA refuse to evaluate these statements.

I've been laughed at and sent home with a shattered fibula, they told me it was bruise! I have never been to the ER and been treated with any respect. I know the brightness seems a little low in there, but why are they rude? No one goes to the ER for fun - but it's their job! They are the only ones planning to be there - so why the attitude? You go in hurt and get treated like an animal in a slaughterhouse. Where are the professionals?

By no means am I educated in medicine, but with all of the research being done in genetics, it led me to a question.

Given the emergence of superbugs on a more widespread basis, what's stopping medicine from attacking these germs on genetic basis? Perhaps inject a virus in the patient that would only alter the bacteria's DNA so that it ceases to reproduce?

Why, or why not could this be plausible?

I was prescribed these for depression and anxiety, I read the instructions and I know that it is normal to have side effects for the first 2 weeks or so, I took the first pill today but I wasn't prepared for how wierd it would make me feel. I have panic attacks anyway, but right now I feel really paranoid, shaky, sick, headache, sweating, lightheaded, and I keep feeling suddenly tearful etc, I can't tell whether I'm having a panic attack because I was worried about taking the pills or if the pills are making me feel like this, please help, I'm home alone just now and I need advice/reassurance. Has anyone else taken these, did you feel like this?

This is the 2nd time Ive posted this, but only got one answer the last, wld like more. Actually back in hospital now. In October (4th I think) my mates and I were mucking around in a tree and I slipped and fell three metres or so out onto the hard concrete ground. I was unconscious and my mate called an ambo. It came and I woke up in it, screaming in pain, thrashing around, was given something and then was in and out of it for the next few minutes. Woke up like a week later, was told I had been in an induced coma, had had brain swelling/minor bleeding and had my skull drilled to relive pressure, and had 13 pins and a rod in my foot as it was smashed. Had amnesia from the day of the accident and barely remember the trip. 2 nights ago I remembered a night there and 'felt' the doctor put a tube in throat & the doctor pinning my foot. Would they have used anaesthetic for my 2 operations, or being in a coma was enough?

Is it the abscence of cortical activity? or is another measure used.

I'm writing a law paper about end of life issues, and I'm trying to get a feel for what is considered 'death'.
