To recover from the physical damage caused by long term addiction one needs to allow their bodies time to heal and recover and seek medical attention if needed.
Can MRSA prevent a person from enlisting in the military?
More then likely the MEPS "Military Entrance Processing Station" will deny you to enlist and ask you to get all the medical documents pertaining to this. I would guess it would have to be taken care of "No LONGER HAVE IT" in order to enlist into any branch of service.

What may be the cause for an irregular period after marriage?
Well, from experience I have noticed that stress can cause my period to be irregular. I'm not married however, I am ingaged. Also, when I noticed that my period was way off course I consulted my doctor and he said that it wasn't too much to worry about. He said that stress can be a true factor for that irregular period.
Are repeated MRSA infections in a toddler serious?
Absolutely. But this is a very vague question. MRSA or methicillin-resistant staphyloccus aureus (MRSA) is indeed serious in and of itself because it is an infection that requires very strong antibiotics and has resistance to the most common, penicillin and its derivatives. However, within this realm of serious infections, there is a large spectrum of illnesses. An uncomplicated cellulitis (skin inifection) is one example of a lesser MRSA infection whereas a case of MRSA septicemia (infection in the blood) is often fatal. Any infection that has strong resistance to commonly used antibiotics is a serious and potentially catastrophic illness, regardless of where the site of infection is. Most often, MRSA is found in repeated infection sites. Hope this helps. Jordan Safirstein, MD www.StopPagingMe.com
Which std takes up to 40 years before symptoms show?
Syphilis usually presents itself for a short period of time and the symptoms may reside. when symptoms stop, the person often believes there is nothing to be concerned with, but this is a false sense of security. The syphilis quietly lurking around doing damage internally. After many, many years if it is left untreated it will often present with severe mental issues among other things. It can easily be cured with antibiotics so it is important to be screened if you suspect you may have been exposed.
If pregnancy exacerbates a pre-existing medical condition can your disability claim be denied?
This isn't a yes or no question. See the research. Turn in the claim and see what happens. Is Pregnancy covered under the Disability Plan? When two causes join in causing injury, one of which is insured against, insured is covered by policy. Zimmerman v. Continental Life Ins. Co. (App. 1 Dist. 1929) 99 Cal.App. 723, 279 P. 464.
West's Ann.Cal.Ins.Code § 10320
Although ERISA plan participant's preexisting condition of congenital cataracts might have contributed to extent of his injuries, the preponderance of evidence in the administrative record established that accident, whereby participant tripped in his home and jammed his thumb into his eye socket, was proximate cause of participant's total loss of sight in his eye, and since accident was proximate or predominant cause of participant's total loss of vision in eye, he was entitled to recover from accidental death and dismemberment insurer under the terms of the controlling summary plan description (SPD) which only excluded accidental death and dismemberment due to most natural illnesses or diseases. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
Weis v. Accidental Death & Dismemberment Ben. Plan of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc. 442 F.Supp.2d 850 (N.D.Cal.,2006)
The district court found that: 1) McClure's disability was the result of the process of nature and, 2) McClure was entitled to benefits even though he had a preexisting condition, because the accident was the proximate cause of his disability. Under the "process of nature" rule, a claimed disability is considered to have occurred immediately within the meaning of a total disability policy provision when it follows directly from the accidental injury within the time the process of nature takes.
McClure v. Life Ins. Co. of North America 84 F.3d 1129, *1133 (C.A.9 (Nev.),1996)
the existence of a preexisting condition does not bar recovery under an ERISA policy unless the preexisting condition "substantially contributed to the disability or loss," even when the general policy language limits coverage to losses caused by accidents "directly and independently of all other causes.
McClure v. Life Ins. Co. of North America 84 F.3d 1129, *1135 (C.A.9 (Nev.),1996)
Where resultant disability is due entirely to lighting up or aggravation of pre-existing condition by industrial injury, employer is liable to compensate for entire disability, but where disability is partly due to industrial disability from injury, and partly due to normal progress of a pre-existing disease or condition, employer is liable to compensate only for portion or percentage of disability due to injury. West's Ann.Labor Code, § 4663.
Bowler v. Industrial Acc. Commission 135 Cal.App.2d 534, 287 P.2d 562 (Cal.App.1955)
Question whether compensation applicant's permanent disability results from effects of accident, including aggravating effect of accident upon pre-existing disease, or whether disability or part thereof resulted from normal progress of a pre-existing disease is a question of fact for determination by Industrial Accident Commission.
Bowler v. Industrial Acc. Commission 135 Cal.App.2d 534, 287 P.2d 562 (Cal.App.1955)
Where an employee's pre-existing condition is asymptomatic, and an industrial injury causes disability other than death, medical testimony may be resorted to determine whether disability is entirely due to injury, or partially due to a continuance of pre-existing condition.
Bowler v. Industrial Acc. Commission 135 Cal.App.2d 534, 287 P.2d 562 (Cal.App.1955)
An insurer's narrow definition of "injury" as one that is independently caused by an accident does not defeat coverage of an insured whose preexisting condition contributed to his injury unless the policy documents conspicuously set forth this exclusion.
Weis v. Accidental Death & Dismemberment Ben. Plan of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc. 442 F.Supp.2d 850 (N.D.Cal.,2006)
In Saltarelli, we allowed an insured to recover for his medical expenses relating to a preexisting cancer despite an ERISA policy clause excluding coverage for "pre-existing conditions," finding that the exclusion, buried amid definitions in the policy, "was not clear, plain, and conspicuous enough to negate [a] layman['s] ... objectively reasonable expectations of coverage
McClure v. Life Ins. Co. of North America 84 F.3d 1129, *1135 (C.A.9 (Nev.),1996)
Pre-existing Conditions: No payment will be made for services or supplies for the treatment of a Pre-existing Condition during a period of six (6) months following your Effective Date. This limitation does not apply to a child born to or newly adopted by an enrolled Policyholder or enrolled spouse. However, we may apply Creditable Coverage to satisfy or partially satisfy the six (6) month period if the length of time between the ending date of your prior coverage and your Effective Date under this Policy did not exceed sixty-two (62) days. Pre-existing Condition means an illness, injury, disease or physical condition for which medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment, including the use of Prescription Drugs was recommended or received from a licensed health care provider during the six (6) months immediately preceding the Insured's Effective Date of coverage. ---Blue Cross CA Individual Hospital Plan---
What protective equipement should a PN use when providing wound care for a patient with MRSA?
The chances of catching the bug yourself from your patient is reasonably small; that is unless you yourself have any open wounds or sores that are not suitably treated and dressed so if this were the case you should not be doing his wound care.
The only protective clothing you need are apron and gloves. Remember to keep dressings sterile and to wash your hands well with hot soapy water.
Where can I find pictures of mrsa?
Pictures of mrsa can be found on several sources. The fastest and the easiest one to reach is the internet. Searching on internet could provide a lot of information and pictures regarding mrsa. Moreover one could look into scientific or medicine/biology related books that can be found in public or university libraries.
MRSA is strain of Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria which has develop immunity to several antibiotics (beta-lactam). In case that person get MRSA infected wound probably will be swollen, red, tender and with yellow pus seeping from it. Pressure ulcers and other ulcers show often exact location of MRSA. In any case try to keep calm and don't panic because from time to time even with classic symptoms of MRSA it is still possible to have only regular Staph infection. MRSA can be confirmed only by visiting medical practitioner who would probably do culture on the drainage from infected area.
Do you have the right to tell your employer that a co-worker has AIDS?
Moral rights and legal rights may very well be at odds here. In most countries, you undoubtedly have a legal right to tell an employer (or anyone else) that someone has AIDS .. and, in most countries, that person will also have the right to sue you if you cannot substantiate your claim, your claim is untrue or if you are using privileged information in order to substantiate your claim. Bearing in mind that being around (or even touching) someone who has AIDS does not generally constitute any sort of health risk; you would need to ask yourself what qualifications you have to determine that you co-worker has AIDS, what YOUR motivation is, whether you are betraying a confidence and what purpose can possibly be served by telling the employer. In most cases, the answer will probably be that you are not qualified, that the motivation is questionable and that - if the employee has not already felt the need to tell the employer - no purpose can possibly be served. If your interest is in any way selfish, or malicious, then you will also have to face the very real possibility that your allegation will be seen in that light and could have very serious repercussions for you. It may even be that the employer already knows and quite correctly considers that they have neither a legal right, nor any moral obligation, to make that knowledge generally available you, or anyone else. Unless the health of others is being put at direct risk (which will only normally be the case if the person suffering from AIDS is working in a medical profession and conducts certain invasive procedures), you have no legal or moral obligation to tell the employer .. and therefore probably should not.
One final point: Do you really mean HIV? Most people who are HIV-positive are not suffering from AIDS. If you really mean HIV - or you think that the terms HIV and AIDS are generally interchangeable - then you really should question your own knowledge and qualification to make such an allegation.
How do you make guests feel comfortable?
- Good ways to make your guests feel comfortable is to be yourself and be sure to introduce people to each other if there are a few people that do not know each other. Be sure to circulate and get a chance to talk to each of your guests. Serve the first drink and then you can let people know they are welcome to use the bar (if you do not have a bar in your home then put the alcohol and mixers on a table close to where you are all sitting.) Try to keep the conversation light and airy. Generally guests will mingle and have different conversations with other guests.
