Why should I pay for someone who screws up his/her health?. :angryfire I am willing to pay for the destitute, poor, and kids. National healthcare? NO WAY! I echo mattsmom81 and menphispanda thoughts on this issue.

I heard the husband say in an interview that he had sued her docs because they misdiagnosed her? She had a severe electrolyte deficiency which caused her to have the MI. Something along the lines of the medical team not ordering a K level???? Anyway,...

I used to get your symptoms as well. I was told to drink a full glass of water and lay on my left side. It turns out that I was dehydrated. I guess I didn't want to go to the bathroom so much so I was not drinking enough H2O. But, yeah, you are doing...

I lost my dad in May. Mother's Day. Sunday the 9th. Last year, when my Dad was in CICU, he was near death. Somehow he survived that time. Anyway, he told me that he was "taken" to another place. He found himself sitting on a bench. Like a park bench....

When we had to do this, we did practice on each other.. femoral and breast. When we had to show how to do a breast exam, the instructor used a fake breast model and we got checked off on the technique. Some models come with "fake lumps". We even had...

I went to school with girls who by the time they were 13, were sexually active & had a child. By the time I graduated highschool, we had a daycare in the school. Some of these girls were exposed to sexuality at an early age. They were either ra...

So I am sitting in my living room, watching TV and eating lunch when the "Become a Nurse" commercial from J & J comes on. And I am annoyed by it!. I changed the channel. But that got me thinking about the content of the ad. While I am happy tha...

I wanted to find out if that darn song was annoying anyone. Some of you have said that, yes, it is annoying. Some of you have said that, no, that you like the song. It was just a simple question. I RESPECT YOUR OPINIONS. When I picked up on the "Oh...

Isn't that the "one letter = x amount of letters" from the public in advertising.?? I recall my ethics professor mentioned this in class but it has been 2 years... I can't recall the number. Thanks for letting us know the correct terminology. I appre...
