hysterectomy-happy. I've typed many reports where women had hysterectomies "just in case." Seek another opinion or even two more opinions.

Yea I will say it is very sad how alot
of people bred the dogs to fight other dogs and be mean. I do believe in giving everybody/everything a second chance though. Look at Michael Vick's dogs for instance, alot of them were able to be rehabilitated and now have loving homes instead of torture and mistreatment. With pitbulls it is all in knowing them thoroughly. You definitely have to check out the breeder and be sure to know the pitbull's bloodline. Also you need to meet the mother & father of the pups and know their personality as well. I have 3 pitbulls, 2 inside and 1 outside that was a full-grown pit rescued off the side of the road that we took a chance on and he took a chance on us as well. They are great dogs because I have worked with them as any owner should, but I would never let them roam around w/o being fenced in because I wouldn't do that with any breed dog. Also pitbulls are not dogs to tie outside on a chain and leave there as alot of people do. That only increases frustration and anxiety as it would in any dog.
It varies alot. sm
Where I live a school has to have open enrollment, and then there are certain conditions. They may limit the number of additional students to accept.

Chickie is alot better than what I wanted

Well, alot of us DIDN'T vote them in...
And look at what happened the first time ol' Dubya was elected... a strange little "coincidence" regarding "lost" votes and "hanging chads" happened in Florida - which just by mere "coincidence" Dubya's brother happened to be governor of at the time.
i use ALOT of st. john's wort. sm
take 1 once a day every day. after ovulation, take 2 a day. as i get closer to my period i will take 2 in the morning and 2 at night. when i am going to snap, i will take up to 10 a day. my sister tried it too and loves it. hope you find something. i have even considered depression meds, but don't like the side effects. let us know if you find something awesome. good luck.
seek the advice of someone who knows
consolitation loans only treat the "symptom". Pay them off gradually, do not give your hard earned money to another lender. They charge way too much (all of them) to close on these types of loans or they wreck your credit. Seek out The Total Money Makeover and see how you feel then. It is by Dave Ramsey.
He supplies all of which I seek... nm

Seek out a counselor.
You need to seek out professional help . . .
This can't be fixed just by you changing your behavior. Both of you have to come to realize how the other feels and how to work towards the goal of a happy, giving, respectful marriage. From what you've written, it sounds like you have a passive personality, and it sounds like he's taking advantage of that. I would also suggest that you seek counseling through church, so that you can both discuss the spiritual side of your marriage and develop that as well.
I pray for healing for you both, especially for the children. Happy and loving parents are such a gift to children.
i think we naturally seek
to know and be close to God, at least until the 'world' around us lures us away. The whole idea undergirding my religion is that God wishes to have us reconciled with Him. I personally believe we instinctively feel that void. Like your child, i grew up in a nonreligious home, and was very drawn towards finding God. My opinion.
We have decided to seek professional help.
My husband and I talked and decided that for all our sakes and to try and do things right, we are seeking professional help to guide us through this.
I feel somewhat more relieved with that in mind.
I hope all this works out for the best.
Thanks everyone
Talk to him about it. If need be, seek counseling. Don't

Doctors don't always know
Unless there is a close proximity to eating a new food or being exposed to something unusual and then developing a rash, a lot of times it is impossible to determine what the culprit is. It could be anything from a new brand of cereal to someone's cologne where he works. They will only send him for allergy testing if he continues to have repeated problems.
Oh, but doctors are much
too important to see people for ear infections and sore throats, especially for just a copay, LOL.
For something routine yet urgent like that, I don't mind seeing an NP, but I don't like waiting 3 hours at an urgent care when I have strep throat with fever and chills.
And I want my medical professional trained in this country and speak English I can understand.
My current doctor is usually pretty good, but her office hours are short, closing at noon on Friday, but if I call her after that she will often call something in or advise after hours if she's on call.
But what is it about skin problems? I don't care if it's a PCP or a dermatologist, if you have a problem with itching or nonhealing wounds, I can't get any respect or real help. What's the problem?
I have many doctors who say is
instead of are. One more I hate--"This is a patient that" instead of who. We should all know that patient's are people unless you transcribe for a vet.--an libary
Why do doctors do this?
First they make you wait out in the lobby and then they make you wait in the examining room. I don't mind a wait as long as I can be in the lobby and talk/see people. I despise having to wait for a long time in the exam room. I get lonely.
I wish the nurses could time it so you only had to wait in the examination room 5-10 minutes.
i refused to go out with doctors
as i sure didn't want to be married to one...(didn't want that lifestyle) but wish you the best!
I know and have worked with several doctors
Actually as a Transcriptionist I was glad because so many times you'd get Dr. Smith (if they got married, then which one?) Well, if they keep their maiden name or at least hyphenate it that made my life a lot easier. I think it also may have something to do with the fact that if they are in practice, everything must be changed and imagine the expense? Also if they are well known, they maybe do not want to jeopardize that. As long as the couple is happy, and he is not offended, I think it is just fine. Congratulations! I would address the letter Drs. April Cox and Richard Grant. JMO. 
I know!! Aren't there any other doctors? - LOL (sm)
It's our little half hour escape to fantasy land!
I know doctors don't always have the answers
I've been in the medical field since 1971.
I was just venting a little - we were so relieved it wasn't bedbugs, and we were hopeful that we would find the real cause and be able to eliminate it. It was kind of a let-down when we didn't.
As far as we know, my husband hasn't been exposed to anything unusual at home or on the job, and his food intake has been normal - nothing unusual.
The only thing we can think of is we moved into this house late last summer, so he did mow the grass a couple of times, but of course different things grow and bloom in the spring than in late summer and fall. He does generally have the usual allergies involving itching eyes, runny nose, sinus congestion, etc., but he has never had a reaction like this. He was a Boy Scout and went camping and hiking all the time, so I know he knows what poison ivy looks like! And it doesn't look like poison ivy rash.
Maybe somebody out there has had a similar experience and can help us - let me describe his symptoms. It usually starts out as a series of small red bumps that are in a fairly straight line. For example, in the crease of his right arm, there are about six little red bumps going straight down (proximal to distal) from the crease in a space of about 1.5 to 2 cm. There is another line, about 1 cm medial to that one, running up the arm (distal to proximal), about the same distance. When he scratches them (he tries not to, but sometimes you just gotta), they appear to turn into one big linear welt.
Any ideas? TIA. And many thanks to those who have been following our "saga". 
I can't stand doctors like that who won't
listen. At least a colonoscopy is good for about 10-15 years, LOL.
The doctors told us our son was going to die.
That was my worst Thanksgiving ever. It was in 1986.
DEAR DOCTORS
It has come to my attention that you all have a severe god complex disorder. While you may think that you are amazing and immortal, that does not mean that I hang on every burp, fart, yawn, snort, sniffle, gag and chewing noise that comes out of your body.
I know you may not realize that there is a LIVING BREATHING person at the other end of your dictation, but there is. One who is extremely grossed out by your bodily functions.
Also, if you don't understand already, time is money for us. Every minute you spend umming and hmming and shuffling papers, is money we lose. Every minute you spend flirting with the nurse who has just walked in the room is equal to about 11 lines of dictation for us. So please, say what you have to say and HANG UP.
So lets review: before you come in to dictate from now on please eat, clear your throat, blow your nose, use the restroom, take some Bean-o, get your papers in order, close the door (preferably lock it so the nurse can't come in), and get your thoughts in order. Then pick up the phone.
Thanks!
Your MT
As far as I know, doctors are allowed to do this
in certain states, but they still need the approval of the nearest relatives.
They do this if somebody is terminally ill and the patient himself expresses the wish that their life should be ended.
She can always change doctors. You
do not have to see the one they send to consult or whatever. It is the patient's right to choose their doctor (of course, as long as they are in their insurance plan).
Doctors here are down playing it.
They are telling us it is no worse than any other flu you get. They also say the worst is over. However, my daughters Girl Scout trip they were supposed to take tomorrow still got cancelled as with a lot of UIL events.
Doctors do not always listen
I needed bilateral ear surgery (typmanoplasty and mastoidectomy) not too long ago. The physician left it up to me which ear to do first, depending on my pain and hearing. I chose the left due to the amount of pain and drainage.
I reported to the hospital (a very prestigious teaching hosptial - in US New and World Reports top 5) that morning and the OR consent form stated the wrong ear. It said the right, rather than the left. I explained to the resident it was wrong and he proceeded to ARGUE with me, that I should just sign the consent form. I finally asked to see my own surgeon prior to signing and he agreed with me and changed it and reversed the OR equipment etc.
In my case it would not have made much difference since I needed 2 surgeries any way.
But what about the older, scared, and confused patient with no family there?
Maybe the patient did state the prima donna physician did not listen.
One of the main doctors I work for
goes into a lot of detail about the patient's complaint and even what they think might be wrong wtih them. He also mentions personal things like if going to college, recently had a death in the family, etc. Hopefully you have typed a few of those and you can tell her that some doctors really do listen. Good Luck!
Guns versus doctors
Doctors
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health Human Services
Now think about this:
Guns
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner .000188.
Statistics courtesy of FBI
So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!
Out of concern for the public at large, I withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!
the doctors overdosed him can't blame him if he
now refuses to take it!
We'll have to swap doctors
For unclear reasons, the accent that gives me trouble is a Hispanic one (and I lived in CA for 20 years, so it shouldn't!). When the family watched the movie Bend it Like Beckham, the kids had to get me to translate both the Britsh and Indian accents into American English so they could follow the story.
Doctors with attitudes and other issues
Just got back from the neurologist's office. This is a doctor I have seen now approximately 3 times. I try my best to furnish any and all reports I think necessary for a physician either prior to seeing them for a particular issue or when I see them such as recent MRIs, lab tests, office notes and the like from another physician's office that I think might be pertinent to why I am seeing the present doctor.
Have foot issues (along with a couple other things) but 2 weeks ago I called 2 different podiatrists offices where I have recently been asking that they fax (given number) office notes to the neurologist. Both offices I had visited for the same exact foot issues, no diagnosis and no help. The neurologist did not have the information requested from the 2 other offices this morning, 2 weeks later. When I told him had lots to talk about he said well start. I did and then he told me I was supposed to have told all that information to the person who took my blood pressure, checked my reflexes and so on. Well, not a mind reader here and I told him had the other offices done as requested, then maybe he would have some information before him to go by.
Why, why are people not doing their jobs? It has nothing to do with the economy (this was happening at least 5 years ago when the economy better) but people are so slack now days it just ticks me off. Blowing smoke out ears as I write this.
Most doctors I know prefer women that are open....sm
and not trying to act like someone they aren't. Just treat him like a regular person and hopefully you'll have a great time.
Doctors who spell out simple words,
and leave you hang out to dry on the most obscure term or referring physician spelling if it is an odd name. I'll be darn though, they will spell out "the" t-h-e, p-a-t-i-e-n-t, but never the hard stuff... . ????? I wonder why? People using cell phones when they are driving and not paying attention. People that pull out in front of you, and then go 5 mph. I hate it when the grocery bagger puts all the soap products in with my meat or food goods! Great, now the roast smells like Dove Cucumber and Melon bar soap? Hubby is going to think this is delicious!!!!! UUGGHH!
We need DOCTORS in charge of our health care,
!
I don't understand the ethics of the doctors involved

She should check with her doctors, there are other meds that might not cause diarrhea.
Such as Prevacid, Aciphex, Protonix, or Nexium. (The GI doctors I work for say that any of these should be taken one hour before breakfast.)
Or Zegerid can be taken at bedtime. H2 blockers such as Tagamet, Pepcid, or Zantac also might help, they can be taken at bedtime. Her doctor or a pharmacist would be able to tell her if there's a problem with any of these while taking tamoxifen.
Also, it's important to eat the last meal of the day early and not lie down for at least a few hours after eating.
She could elevate the head of the bed (just putting more pillows there doesn't help) or get a wedge mattress or possibly one of those wedges to put under her pillow(s).
Disregard the ' in doctors ... whoops. No Message
Need an autopilot tuneup.
Many doctors are blatantly, proudly prejudiced against TG people
I have spoken to transgendered people who have been refused treatment for even a common cold (and other health issues which have NOTHING to do with gender) from physicians. Some doctors will only, and then reluctantly, touch a transgendered person if they are in a life threatening situation; then discharge them the second their life is no longer in danger and tell them to seek followup treatment elsewhere and not to come back. So much for the hippocratic oath.
A-HA!! Now I remember. The plot thickens. I guess there are no other doctors in the world (LOL)

I am sure when the clients get professionally transcribed reports and the doctors find our
reports accurate nobody is thinking of pajamas or sweats. The home environment just allows us to be a little more relaxed and take showers, etc. on our own schedule. What in the world does that do to undermine what we know and do? As far as what others think of our job in a home environment walk a mile in our shoes, or slippers, whatever the case may be.
Doctors, lawyers, judges for neighbors doesn't give a person class. - DUH

We seek for the truth, our own personal truth. SM
Not everyone is religious. ;)
My opinion
I think your husband is probably innocent in this case, but knew that some of the staring people might say something to you. There are two big reasons you need to keep your cool: 1) If he really is completely innocent, you don't want to make a big deal out of nothing. 2) If she is trying to get something started up, you need to pretend to be oblivious or you will never find out. He may have told you just to let you know that other women are still attracted to him, kind of an ego boost for himself. I don't think it sounds like anything he intends to pursue - but like the other poster said, you do need to keep an eye on her.
my opinion
She really sounds like a control freak and a person you should avoid. Tell her to find playmates for her son his own age. She has no right to reprimand your son. I knew a mom like this once - she followed her son around constantly since he was a toddler on up, and he actually grew up with mental deficiencies because she was so over-protective. Now he's an outcast. Kids need a little freedom to play and usually they work things out amongst themselves.
I think you should tell your son to stay away from her and her boy and forget about this woman. She sounds like a nightmare !
Wah, wah, wah! So, I have my opinion, so what?
I just can't bring myself to watch a movie where the girl playing Mary got knocked up at only 16 years old by her 19 year old boyfriend. I gave my opinion, you gave yours. There's no need to jump up my butt about it! Sheesh!
Again, everyone has a right to their opinion.
nm
Just my opinion...
A 12-year-old NO, but a 17-year-old I don't see a problem with it. By that age, it gets hard to keep them in a bubble! And I agree with your husband, they hear it in school and on the streets and more often than not in the home. I am just saying it is out there and it is really hard to keep our kids innocent, although I do try as long as I can, too.
Just my opinion
My parents divorced when I was 13, my dad basically put his new wife ahead and my brother and I and put other women ahead of us after the divorce, extremely hurtful. Every man my mother dated I could not stand. There are times when I do not care for my step dad either, they married when I was 16. It is a very touchy situation and if you are not going to be long term with this guy I would definately not take my daughter on trips with him, this is just from personal experience.
Thank you all so much for your opinion!
