Q: In public, somebody keels over maybe due to heart attack, what would you do in the perfect scenario? No mouth-to-mouth just chest compressions? Extra people squeeze legs to circulate more blood? If in the winter, take 30s to move outside into cold to slow down brain damage? Do you crush an aspirin and put it under their tongue? If someone has an epi-pen would you use it?

Q: I have horrendous allergies seemingly set off by spending 3 or more hours at my grandparents house, or spending a night at my parents house. I'm talking sneezing hundreds of times in an hour, bloody nose, broken capillaries under skin on nose, the whole deal. But what causes the shooting pain inside after a sneeze? It seems to radiate out to extremities and lasts about 5s?

Q: When to ice pain, when to use a hot pack?

Q: I had this weird one night sickness I have never got around to asking a doc about. About 2 years ago (21yr./M) I got extremely ill one night seemingly out of no where. It was the sickest I have ever been in my life. I was spending the night at my gf's dorm and out of no where I started feeling it coming on at like 6PM. By 8PM, in a normal temperature room, I was freezing cold (goosebumps, chattering teeth so bad I couldn't talk, it felt like I was laying down in the snow). BUT, I was profusely sweating with an extremely high fever, with extra clothes on and all the blankets in the room covering me. I took a ibuprofen and vomited. I went to take a shit, was dizzy while walking holding onto walls. I rember sitting on the toilet, dripping in sweat thinking to myself that if I died, it wouldn't matter that much. Here's the kicker, I woke up the next morning and felt completely, 100% fine. What the fuck happened to me????

Q: How come some people can take a punch and not get knocked out? Do MMA fighters train to not have their brains twist as much? Does adrenaline raise your knockout threshold (sucker punch = likely knockout)?
A:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Do doctors think some patients are stupid? Example? How do doctors handle patients that swear by homeopathy and want to raise their kids like its the 1700's?
A:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why do doctors in the same field get paid differently depending on their location? Is it solely patient load and private practice expenses? How do you find patients in private practice? How come surgeons in private practice work so much; can't they set their own schedule? I heard they have to write something in a patient chart every single day.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Q: How do primary care doc's screen patients with common symptoms? "I have a headache, stomach pain, and a fever" How do doc's know to when it might be one of 20,000 serious illnesses? Turf em?

Q: With your current medical knowledge, how would you raise your kids to be healthy besides the obvious? Green tea, caloric restriction, resveratrol?

Random comment. I remember one post here about using superglue to close cuts if band aids aren't handy. I have done it many times when younger. A little birdie told me that he (Neurosurgeons) commonly use Home Depot superglue to close the Dura, instead of the $5,000 medical equivalent. The superglue they use is exactly the same chemical, just not sterile. It is used all the time but never spoken of. It is referred to as "The special dura closing compound".
