| The Ideal Tummy Tuck Patient | | 2008-07-15 07:10:00 | | In this reality TV day and age where anything can be and is done by anyone on national television, people are getting tummy tuck procedures done on a large scale. A fraction of them (realistically speaking) somehow has problems after the procedure making them dubitable candidates for an abdominoplasty in the first place. Surgery in itself is something that ought to be completely avoided by certain people. Even a plastic surgery procedure like abdominoplasty falls in this category. So how does the doctor spot the ideal tummy tuck candidate? Broadly speaking, the ideal person to have a tummy tuck procedure is someone who has been unable to tone his or her abdominal region, even with the help of a healthy diet and exercise routine. While most people associate cosmetic surgery with women, the male tummy tuck is becoming an increasingly common way for men to flatten the difficult-to-tone stomach area. Abdominoplasty is also a fairly common method of toning up a woman's figure after | | By: Abdominoplasty Beverly Hills | | |

| Patient Dies in ER Waiting Room, Staff Does Nothing - Videos | | 2008-07-04 17:28:00 | | It is 5:32 AM on Thursday, June 19, 2008, in the ER psychiatric waiting room of Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. 49-year-old Esmin Green is sitting and waiting. The hospital staff have made her wait here since she was admitted to the hospital early Wednesday morning, nearly 24 hours earlier.
Esmin is not here of her own choosing. Just the previous day her pastor had called 911 because she thought that Esmin needed professional help. After evaluation the hospital staff involuntarily committed Esmin for “agitation and psychosis.” But it is an emergency phone call that the pastor will soon regret.
As Esmin sits in the institutional type waiting room chair, her body slowly begins to lean to her left. Then the tilt of her body quickly accelerates and she tumbles off the rigid waiting room chair toward the floor below. In only an instant she is lying face down on the cold, hard tile floor.
She is dying.
Esmin lies on the unforgiving tile floor for 63 more minutes. In that | | By: In The Spotlite | | |

| Japanese patient's 'tumour' turns out to be 25-year-old towel | | 2008-06-05 09:52:28 | | Wed Jun 4, 3:47 AM ETDoctors who carried out surgery on a Japanese man to remove a "tumour" had good news and bad news for him. He did not have cancer -- but the "growth" that had been causing him pain was in fact a 25-year-old surgical towel.The patient had been carrying the cloth since 1983, when surgeons at the Asahi General Hospital in Chiba prefecture near Tokyo left it in him after an operation to treat an ulcer, a spokesman for the hospital said.The man, now 49, went in to another hospital in late May after suffering abdominal pain.When examinations found what was believed to be an eight-centimetre (3.2-inch) tumour, he underwent the operation to remove it. It was only then that surgeons realised it was a towel."The towel was greenish blue although we are not sure about its original colour," the Asahi General Hospital spokesman said, adding it had been crumpled to the size of a softball.Asahi hospital officials visited the man and apologised, he said.The former patient has no pl | | By: angelite nurses | | |

| Patient Safety Act passes the Massachusetts House | | 2008-05-24 10:22:28 | | Last February I wrote about why we need the Patient Safety Act, which would require a certain ratio of nurses to patients. Hey, we go into the hospital hopefully to get better, not to catch a hospital-related infection or get an overdose of a drug-- or the wrong drug entirely!Naturally, hospitals oppose such legislation-- just like the drug companies are opposing legislation prohibiting them from giving gifts to doctors and nursing homes are opposing legislation requiring a 50/50 split of state money with home care providers.Looks like institutional power may be giving way to common sense, at least as far as the Patient Safety Act goes. The legislation has been passed by the House and is now going to the Senate.You can find out your senator and his/her phone number here. There's a new bill number-- HB 4714. Let them know you want to be safe in the hospital. You can get more infromation at the Mass. Nurses Association website.Atom

| Increasing Accuracy And Patient Comfort With Digital Mammography | | 2008-04-19 05:57:00 | | There's encouraging news for women. Not only is it becoming easier to catch and treat breast cancer in its earliest stages, but new technologies are making the process of diagnosing the disease more comfortable for the patient-and more accurate as well.The National Cancer Institute recommends mammography screenings every one to two years for women over 40 and annually for women over 50. In addition, women at high risk of developing breast cancer (for example, women with a strong family history of breast cancer or who test positive for the BRCA breast cancer gene) are encouraged to begin annual mammography screenings even earlier-sometimes as young as 25-and should consult a physician.Benefits and risks• Early detection of small breast cancers greatly improves a woman's chances for successful treatment. If breast cancer is caught and treated while it is still confined to the breast ducts, the cure rate is close to 100 percent.• Clinical studies in the U.S., Sweden and the Netherland | | By: How to Detect Cancer | | |

| Facelift Patient’s Testimonials: The Plastic Surgery Institute of California | | 2008-04-18 06:59:00 | | Wrinkles, creases, and smile lines on the face can make your face look older than your actual age. These facial lines can be lessened or eliminated by a cosmetic surgery procedure called a "face lift," in which the skin and underlying muscles of the face are lifted up and tightened .Someone who has gone through the plastic surgery is the best judge of the procedure. What he feels about the procedure and would he recommend it to others.It was amazing. I used to think only celebrities and people from the elite class opt for face lift surgery. But nowadays, due to advances in the plastic surgery techniques, the cosmetic surgery procedure has become tremendously popular amongst men and women from all economic and social classes. It's hard to find a wrinkle line on my face now, and my skin doesn't sag at all. I look exactly as I hoped to and my recovery was quick and trouble-free.

| Doctor-Patient Talks Affect Use of Breast Reconstruction Surgery | | 2008-04-12 01:38:00 | | (HealthDay News) -- A lack of patient-doctor discussion may contribute to socioeconomic, age and race-related disparities in the use of breast reconstruction after mastectomy, says a study by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.The study also found that breast reconstruction was more likely to occur after a surgeon discussed options with a patient, which suggests the need to increase and improve these conversations, the researchers said.They analyzed data on 626 patients who underwent mastectomy for breast cancer. Of those patients, 253 (40.4 percent) received breast reconstruction, and 249 (39.8 percent) had a documented discussion about the option with a doctor.About 70 percent of those who had a discussion about breast reconstruction had the procedure. But the researchers found that increasing age and lower levels of education were associated with lower rates of a documented discussion.

| Keeping the Home of an Alzheimer's Patient Safe - Dangers Lurk Everywhere | | 2008-04-09 11:20:50 | | When caring for an individual suffering from Alzheimer's, it's important to make sure they're in a safe and supportive environment where their needs are met and the chance of injury is low. Creating a home that meets their needs will not only make their lives easier, but yours as well.People with Alzheimer's often engage in wandering behavior so limit their access to the outdoors and dangerous areas inside the home. Cover doors and locks with cloth or paint to disguise them and install deadbolts high or low on exterior doors to make it difficult for your loved one to wander outside. Remove locks in bathrooms and bedrooms to ensure that he or she does not lock themselves inside where you have no access to them. To protect your loved one from dangerous appliances and household cleaners, install child-proof locks and door knob covers.As Alzheimer's progresses, vision changes and patients may not be able to distinguish colors or be able to understand what they are seeing.

| Hospital patient gets ‘injected’ | | 2008-01-28 19:45:00 | | I went to a hospital to have a cyst removed from my left breast for fear it might be malignant. (Thank God it wasn’t!) My boyfriend agreed to accompany me since no one in my family could make it, so we were there for the whole three days of it. I thought it’d be a boring ordeal, but turns out it was to be one of my kinkiest sex ever. After my operation, my boyfriend slept beside me since they had really big beds. Perhaps being beside me having nothing but the hospital gown on made him feel hot and horny in no time. I could feel his instant erection and was really turned on, forgetting the fact I just had been operated. He entered me spoon position, cupped my other breast, and humped away all the while trying to keep quiet. He came inside of me, which made my pussy all mopped up. And did I mention there were people in the other side of the room with only a curtain between us, with the room being semi private? | | By: What I Think... | | |

This act exempts people with terminal illnesses from the employee portion of payroll taxes while they are suffering from such illnesses or are incurring significant medical costs associated with their conditions. The Cancer and Terminal Illness Patient Health Care Act also provides a payroll deduction to any worker who is the primary caregiver for a spouse, parent, or child with a terminal illness.

| A Patient Diet.. | | 2007-12-03 13:31:00 | | December 4 … The most enduring and likely theory of hospital food is that it is based on sound economic theory. It is designed to get you out of there as quickly as possible. In the nineteenth century (and before), there were sound (for the time) nutritional principles underpinning hospital dietaries.

It is alleged that the nursing home’s account of the incident is fraudulent because their course of action was inconsistent with standard medical emergency procedures and their reported timeline contradicted the timeline recorded by the Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics.Mr. Warme became a resident of Casitas Care Center in February 2005.

However, 21 days into free agency, there’s only slim pickings left. Especially in the forward ranks.
“We’d like to add a top-six forward, but in all honesty there’s just not much left in the free agent market that would fit our needs,” Wings senior vice president Jim Devellano said.
“We have about $5-million to spend, but we’re not just going to whittle it away on third- or fourth-line players. We’re content to wait. That’s a lot of money to have available at the trade deadline.”
Both Peter Forsberg and Teemu Selanne remain on the market, but their playing futures in the NHL are up in the air. Forsberg because of injury and Selanne because he is contemplating retirement.

| Is Parisyan Patient Enough? | | 2007-06-06 20:25:00 | | UFC 71’s main event caused a bit of an uproar in the eyes of Liddell fans. Honestly, I don’t think it’s anything to gripe about, it was simply history repeating itself, and it’s time for a new champion to reign supreme in the light-heavyweight division.Though the main event may have stirred the emotions of fans, Parisyan (17-4-0) and Burkman (8-4-0) seemed to steal the show with fifteen minutes of action packed, judo throwing, hard fought rounds. It was an explosive three rounds from beginning to end, to say the least. Parisyan displayed much polished striking ability and a drastic improvement in his cardio. The same cannot be said about Burkman. Burkman’s lack of conditioning was evident to fans watching as he began to take deep breaths during the last minutes of the first round. Though Karo’s jabs and counters further solidified his unanimous win over Burkman, his conditioning sealed the deal.In an interview, Karo states: "He's a strong guy, but his cardio was shit.

| Bear Wanted to be a Patient at a New Mexico Medical Clinic | | 2007-05-22 01:40:00 | |
Woooo!!!!!!!!! now THAT sight might have caused some blood pressures to go sky high in that place, don't you think?
I find it rather interesting and quite bizarre that we care about bears being dealt with in a non-violent manner via tranquilizing dart guns to render them incapable of causing serious injury to human beings, but why aren't we implementing this same type of premise to render human beings incapable of causing serious injury to human beings?
I agree with Mr. Mario Mendoza when he says in his column:
"Pistol type firearms carrying tranquilizer darts also exist; the shooting range varies between five and 50 feet in distance. In an age where terrorism has become a possible threat, police departments must proceed with caution and must apprehend terrorists before they commit deadly acts without hurting civilians and other bystanders.
