I can't stand it when people smack when they eat, suck their fingers instead of using a napkin, suck the food out of their teeth and smack while doing it, or eat with their mouth open.
I have actually been in a movie theater and had someone eating popcorn behind me and I have said, "Dude, you eat louder than any hog on my aunt's farm."
But a broken heart doesn't count. You don't go to the Emergency Room for a broken heart. I was driving at specifically physical conditions, that is why I said physical like 2 times in my original post because I didn't want to cliche' broken heart crap.
All good ones. These are some of the ones I have treated all of which are bad - I suspect the burn was the worst.
2nd - 3rd degree burns to 85% of the body - this patient lived but when someone is so burned their blood often times is poisoned.
Cluster headaches - some describe as worst than child birth, but probably depends on the individual.
Kidney stones - the closest thing a man will have to child birth.
Dislocated Hip - One person I treated had both hips dislocated. First thing I did was knock him out.
Child birth, particularly if the baby is posterior, meaning inverted so that the face is facing towards the woman's spine rather than towards the stomach - also called back labor.
Various MSRA infections from extremities, some including proud flesh. Proud flesh is an excess growth of skin that the body uses when it is overzealous in healing itself. The skin is loaded with nerve endings and vessels and often is excruciating to remove and deal with.
CPR is incredibly important. I can't stress it enough. The average person waits 12 minutes for an ambulance to arrive at their home. That is sure death for someone in cardiac arrest.
The cost for CPR is nominal. It is also important to re certify so that the information is top of mind when an event occurs.
I just saw this. While I cannot treat and diagnose something I have not seen, I will say that if he has been to several doctors, he needs to stop seeing family practitioners and start seeing a dermatologist.
The more his skin has open wounds, the more likelihood of infection AND the skin condition itself may actually be an infection.
While pouring bleach on will certainly kill the bacteria, it will also likely cause other problems. There are other, safer ways of insuring bacteria are removed and the area clean, including Bactine.
What interests me is that you only mention his hands. Does he not have this problem on other parts of his body? What about his feet?
What I am getting to here is that this may be more than just eczema and could be a)infection b)circulation c)chemical contact.
It is rare for eczema to stay localized to only 2 hands.
Mindful, someone said earlier that the baby isn't "alive" till it takes a breath. That is what I was referring to as ignorant.
In terms of my position on physician assisted suicide, I am against it. I save lives, I do not take them.
I will honor a person's wishes and not provide treatment if that is what their desires are, and I will not provide life support if that is their desire, but I will not actively take a life, ever.
Unless of course they are caught in bed with my wife or girlfriend. Then I might rethink that.
She wasn't special needs and is apparently a well known writer.
I just didn't get it, and I am someone who can be moved by words.
I felt the same about Obama's speech. While it had its moments, nothing really grabbed me.
I was waiting for an Ask not what your country can do for you type moment, and it just never came.
One person interviewed on one of the news sites said it was like God was talking.
I didn't get that at all.
I do have to say, the part where he and Roberts flubbed it up was humorous. You know they both had to be nervous as hell with 14.6 gajillion people watching.
