Health
Dr. Deb Serani presents “Sicko” posted at Dr. Deborah Serani Blog This post looks at the frustrating managed care system.
She writes: “I was supposed to have surgery last week to remove my gall bladder. BUT my managed care insurance will not let me have the surgery.” Well, You can figure out what happens next. Did you have any similar situation? Post a trackback comment, please.
Also read about people frustrated with their medical management at RDoctor Medical Forum
Phil B. presents Phil for Humanity: Curing Diseases in Order of Importance posted at Phil for Humanity. I think you can easily guess what is this post about. He describes it as “A Guide for Survival and Perpetuation of Humankind, and Improving the World, Society, and Yourself!” I think he posts this item already second time.
John Buehler presents “The 3rd Channel » What’s in your Water?” posted at Comments for The 3rd Channel.
He discusses Fluoride in the water. Actually, I am not fully agree with him and I use fluoride toothpastes myself. Fluoride overdose would cause fluorosis. Yet I am not sure the dose in the water is really high .
How do they use you as guinea pig? Part3 is presented at RDoctor
Sister mary martha presents Thank Goodness for St. Joseph posted at sister mary martha. Too emotional I think. A story About Aspirin, though without proof.
Thomas presents Out of work, out of mind… posted at Anonymous_X, saying, “Tormenting experience with the dentist.” The patient expericne with gum surgery. Though, the site page is nasty, opens bunch of additional unrelated windows.
Lisa Mitchell presents The Importance of Folic Acid posted at Let’s Talk Babies. That’s really important to read for future mothers.
Ian Miller presents one degree of separation. posted at impactED. That is the description of Guidelines for Triage Nurse during Pandemic Response. Let’s prepare.
Violeta presents How to cope with hair loss posted at All Tips and Tricks. Ok there are some causes she listed about the hair loss: “What causes hair loss? Aging, Hormonal changes, Stress, Heredity, Drugs, Infections, Improper care, Improper nutrition (lack of vitamins). I guess she is right. Read more.

Abu Sahajj presents Medical Center Appeals Muslim Women posted at Wa Salaam. As it says: about the medical center.
treatment
Nehring presents Nehring The Edge: WIT (2001) movie reviews posted at Nehring The Edge, saying, “A review of a great film that looks at cancer from the patient’s point of view.” Well as it says: the film about ovarian cancer.
Vihar Sheth presents Sustainable Healthcare Unachievable With Drastic Overcapacity posted at Vihar Sheth. He writes: I had a conversation with a Canadian once (yes, they exist) who told me that medical care isn’t measurably worse in the Canada, it’s just more efficient, and therefore more affordable. Something to think about
Idler presents Good health blog posted at Good health, saying, “Health article: health and safety, woman’s and mans health. Alternative Medicine.” That’s just a blog with bunch of stuff. Though there is some good info on STDs
Odd, unapproved treatment and not medical:
Michelle presents 10 Valuable Life Lessons ..Learned From Coffins | American Inventor Spot posted at AmericanInventorSpot.com, saying, “Not quite medical, but strangely interesting article. I thought your readers my enjoy it”.
Well I have looked at that, really not quite medical. She describes her life experience. I thought maybe it will fit into Mental Health or Psychology. Hmm.. Or maybe just Halloween item.
Aparna presents Home remedies for fever posted at Beauty & Personality Grooming. That’s more related to our story. Take it with caution. I doubt it had any clinical trials at all performed, so it is just her personal opinion. From the other hand, some of those things were used for centuries. I would advice you first to find more information before you jump on the opportunity. Better ask your dermatologist.
Madeleine Begun Kane presents Ode To Spinach (Limerick) posted at Mad Kane’s Humor Blog, saying, “humor about the dangers of spinach”. Too short.
John Evans presents Grow with Chess Blog posted at My View. The site is about herbal stuff
Olympsoft presents UsefulRest - Protect your health and eyesight from computer influence posted at The software for the protection of the health of computer users.. Just look at that, I am not sure it really works, however, sounds OK. If it can save your eyes, it’s worth to try.
Also: Andrey M. presented Drugs-about.com - International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems - I10. However there is just a database of drug names and bunch of Google ads. I do not see useful information, so I will probably not link to that. Unless somebody just wants to find the drug names links – I will provide the link.
