Surgery and Hospitalization

Surgery for snoring should be done as a last resort only! There are many ways to try and prevent snoring, but surgery is very dangerous, painful, does not always work, and only people who fit a very specific criteria are allowed to do it. So there is such a thing, but it's seriously unrecommended.

Becoming a doctor includes alot of studying but in the end it is worthed. It is good to have a well educated doctor so you need some languages or a translator but at least you should know two- three languages (your own language another language and English unless you are English you will need at least two but then it is your choise that is my poinion of the languages) but you WILL need you'll need A-C grades in Chemistry, Biology, English & Maths- they are the main ones. You will need different subjects depending on which type or surgeon and/or doctor you want to be. But as to what i have researched English Maths Biology and Chemistry you need them in all surgeon and/or doctor jobs. AS far as i know but i don't know if they put in new things that you need to know. Although you take 6-8 years but some people also say 12-14 years it is WORTHED because then you get alot of money and it is one of the jobs which get the most money and second of all you are being RESPECTED and making people happy

Most commonly pain when inserting or removing tampons is due to lack of relaxation - if you're tense your vaginal muscles tense causing the vagina to tense-up so inserting anything or pulling anything out is going to be more difficult. If you're using too high an absorbency this may be an issue too, tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing tearing so if using too high an absorbency or inserting one tampon after another without using pads occasionally is going to increase damage. If using rayon tampons vaginal dryness can be worse, also you may be allergic to ingredients in these tampons.

Extraction: Anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on how fast you heal and how cautious you are to the site. Salt water rinsing can help speed healing time. Also, taking vitamins will get your immune system working even better.

That could vary according to why the cortisone shot was prescribed. Ask the prescribing health care professional if there is any contraindication in your specific circumstances that would necessitate your waiting before vaccination.

In some cases people do have prophylactic appendectomies. (Where the appendix is removed just in case something goes wrong with it in the future). However, I have only ever heard of this being performed in a very niche group of patients - very ill, learning disabled children, who are generally immobile and not able to articulate their wishes to others (i.e are mute and not capable of any form of sign language). It is in these instances that a prophylactic appendectomy is actually quite a reasonable option - since the child cannot articulate that they feel ill/which bit is painful, the delay this may cause in finding and treating appendicitis could prove fatal. Prophylactic appendectomy negates this scenario.

Doctors adjust plastic surgery costs based on expertise and experience, as well as the length and complexity of the procedure. Depends on what you want done, where you're doing it, etc... Apparently the price is going down, but it's still an expense that you should really think twice about. If you're sure it's what you really want, check to see where you can get it done and give them a call. They might be able to give an estimate.

When a person has surgery, they have to give themselves plenty of time to heal. The healing process is different in each person. If you are still experiencing pain in you ankle after knee surgery, you should consult your doctor.

There are usually two to three doctors on a shift in an average sized emergency room. The other members of the trauma and triage teams include interns, nurses, physician assistants (PA's) and a charge nurse. Specialists from other departments can be called in if there is a need for them; most of the time these are surgeons, pediatric residents and orthopedics.

Ileocolic anastomosis is a type of procedure used to connect two structures in the digestive tract, more specifically the colon and ileum. It is commonly done on patients that have Crohn's Disease and colorectal cancer.

Bariatric surgery is a type of weight loss surgery. You should only consider it if you are extremely overweight and have not been able to lose weight on your own for a very long time. You can find information of bariatric surgery by asking your doctor.

The epi-pen was created to delay anaphylactic shock among people with severe allergies. Symptoms of anaphylactic shock, also known as anaphylaxis, include the severe constriction of blood vessels and bronchial tubes due to an extreme allergic reaction. Most cases of anaphylaxis are fatal if not treated before total constriction of bronchial tubes (usually within 10-20min). Immediate hospitalization is required to bring histamine levels back to normal.

The epi-pen is designed to create immediate production of the hormone adrenaline which prevents the blood vessels and bronchial tubes from completely constricting. Allowing the victim time to get to the hospital.

As soon as the person with the allergies start complaining of throat closure or they come in contact with a known life-threatening allergen, The epi-pen should be injected into the person's thigh! It is essential to inject the epi-pen as quickly as possible, before anaphylaxis can set in. Quick recognition and injection can save lives.

Note: Anaphylaxis results in vasodilatation (the opposite of constriction) which leads to a drop in blood pressure since there is not enough blood volume in the body to fill all the blood vessels to capacity if they are all dilated and still maintain a blood pressure. This is why people in anaphylactic shock often have pink, well-perfused skin rather then the usual pallor associated with shock of other causes. An Epi-pen contains adrenaline (which is another name for epinephrine) which can reverse bronchconstriction and vasodilatation directly and not through the facilitation of epinephrine production. As noted above, the epi pen should be administered as soon as the condition is suspected because the combination of shock and inadequate ventilation of the lungs can be rapidly fatal and becomes more difficult to reverse as time goes on. The design of the epi-pen is such that it can be administered by the victim themselves if they are conscious enough and no help is available, and should be in conjunction with a call for EMS in case further intervention becomes necessary.

Arterial coronary artery bypass surgery is what is done to cure clogged arteries to the heart.

If you ask me I think a very intelligent neuro surgeon makes about 2,100,000 dollars a year or even more,an average neuro surgeon would make 1,300,000 a year and a very bad one would make about 900,000 a year that's my opinoin.

I'd guess about 4 to 6 weeks. Talk to your doctor before starting to excercise. You could really hurt yourself if you start too early.

I agree. I had an open appendectomy two months ago and i wasn't allowed to go to school for 2 weeks (i am only 13 years old) and i was not allowed to do physical activities for another two weeks, so i would say about a month before doing exercise but my surgeon told me that he was being generous saying not to do physical activities because he said i will be able to do them before 4 weeks. So i would say 3 weeks to a month.

Alcohol is quite dangerous to people who have have gastric bypass surgery. Because the surgery bypasses the pyloric valve in the stomach, any alcohol that is consumed does not have the chance to mix with digestive juices in the stomach. Therefore, the "raw" alcohol flows directly into the small intestines (just as any fluid or food that is consumed after gastric bypass).

This has several negative effects for the bypassed individual.

First, this unprocessed alcohol is absorbed very quickly by the intestines. People report feeling an almost instant "rush" of intoxication (or that buzzed feeling) after drinking alcohol. It has been shown in studies that a bypassed person's blood alcohol level (BAL) goes up higher and quicker than their non-bypassed counterparts. A higher BAL has many poor effects on such things as judgement, emotional control, and motor control. If someone could drink one drink and be "fine" before their surgery, this may not be true at all after their surgery.

Second, the unprocessed alcohol hits a person's liver like a ton of bricks. The liver can only process about 1 oz of alcohol per hour whether it hits it fast or hits it slow. This means that the quickly absorbed "raw" alcohol just hangs around in a person's liver waiting its turn to be processed. While this is happening alcohol is doing the damage that alcohol does to ones liver, just at a quicker pace.

Last (at least for this answer), the alcohol that goes to the brain so quickly, doesn't get cleared out nearly as quickly as normal because the liver is working so hard. Therefore, a person's brain can be damaged much sooner than a non-bypassed person's brain. Intoxication literally has the word "toxic" in it for a reason. Alcohol is a toxin to the brain, the liver, and many other organs in the body.

I think that alcohol is a source of empty calories that a gastric bypass patient should simply bypass permanently. People have a gastric bypass to improve their health. Throwing alcohol into the mix does not help a person work toward that goal of a healthier overall quality of life.

Sometimes weeks, sometimes never

Tendon damage does not heal as quickly or as thoroughly as muscle damage. And when or if it does heal will often include scar tissue that reduces its performance and or causes minor discomfort or pain

Consult a doctor before following any advice as there are a variety of treatments depending on the type, severity and location of the damage.

Typical treatments however usually include low impact stretching, heat therapy or compresses and deep tissue massage along with proper nutrition.

Basically in most cases you will want to keep it warm and flexible to encourage blood flow to the area but without adding weight or stress.

Also be extremely careful for the first few weeks after the pain has ceased (if it has ceased), because often even in cases where the tendon is healing, the knitted tissue is still softer than the surrounding tissue and prone to re tearing

If not properly cared for a tendon will develop knots and scar tissue and cause discomfort and pain for life even after it has healed to a usable form

You should pretty much treat it with care for as long as there is pain, and than for several weeks or months afterwards as well. It may be months or years or never to reach 100% recovery
