What Is The Medical Term When One Person Can Feel What The Other Feels?
admin
There is a medical term (Name) when a husband and wife or any close relationship, can feel what the other is feeling??? I know there is a term but I don’t know what it is called…. My sister lives in one state and her husband in another, when she is cold, he is, when he is sick, she is, when one has fears the other feels it…. It’s an intense connection they have … does anyone know the name of it?

paulred2 is correct. They are highly empathetic with each other. Best Wishes to You.

If there is such a term it is not medically derived
Though ive heard the same thing happening with twins and the like, it is reasonable to suggest that this is often due to a deep psychological connection with an individual, knowing how the other would react physiologically to various stimuli -environment, conversation etc -

Well, I know with pregnancy there is the Couvade syndrome, which basically means that the expecting father experiences some of the same physical and behavioral reactions as the expecting mother during her pregnancy. Maybe it is something like that?

What Herb(s) Can I Use To Make A Good Type Of Hot Tea (with No Caffeine)?
admin
I like to drink hot tea in the evenings. I used to drink cinnamon tea on a nightly basis until someone told me that it’s not good to ingest cinnamon every day because it’s supposedly bad for your liver.
So, what other types of herb(s) can I use to make tea with?
And please no weird hard-to-find herbs. I just want something that I can easily find at any local supermarket.-

Chamomile Tea is extremely easy to find and even has variations of flavor. It is a relaxant tea that reduces stress and helps you fall asleep. It won’t knock you out like a sedative but relaxes the mind to provide an easy and fulfilling sleep. I drink it at night after a long day and it hits the spot. Peace.

What Is The Difference Between A Medical Assistant And A Registered Nurse?
admin
I want to go into the medical field but i want to be more than just a nurse. I wanted to be a doctor but that’s too much school and too much money. So i thought a Physicians Assistant would be close enough but that is still a lot of both. And so i heard about medical assisting and i wanted to know what they are responsible for as in their duties and their yearly and or hourly salary and same for the registered nurse, their duties and salaries. Thanks.

You don’t need anything more than a high school diploma or GED. M.A.’s are about as low as you can be in the medical field and I personally would never allow an M.A. to assist in anything other than cleaning empty exam rooms or sharpening pencils. They certainly don’t belong inside an exam room with a patient. You’re better off being anything else unless you want to avoid any kind of education.

Well, a medical assistant is an entry level position; makes about $9-15/hour. They assist PAs, MDs, NPs, etc. They do front office & back office. Back office consists of helping prepare patients for exams, assisting, do vision checks, hearing, setting up trays, some medications, wound care, etc.
I think most people have explained nursing thoroughly on the health care site. But you initially state you want to more than a nurse…so would you be happy as a nurse? There are many areas to nursing–you can do some exploration research to see if one area appeals to you. -

It depends on your financial situation and how much time you want to Spend in College, what you’ll need to become a Medical Assistant, is a High School Cert. or GED, or some Colleges may give you an Entrance Exam to see if you Qualify. As for the Wages it Varies, and depends on your Experience, I would guess $9-15 per hr. Responsibilities are Front and Back office Duties, which involves Triarge, Phlebotomy, UA’s, taking Vitals/Height/Weight/Logging Patients Info on Computer etc., before the Doctor visits the Patient.
As for a Register Nurse, (RN) [you don’t want to Class them with Medical Assistants love} or you may make a few Enemies before you Start….smile!. RN’s Education is more Intense and Lots more College and Money than MA’s, you can become a Medical Assistant in less than a Year at some Colleges, and if you were to take the “Limited X-Ray”, {which is an Asset} course which is Offered by most Colleges is another 3-4 months max, so you’re looking at less than 18 months of School. As for Finances?, try for a Grant, most Colleges will help you with the Paper work. Well Lizzard 3!, Crawl right under all the Stress, and Rock ‘N’ Roll all over this thing until till its Done.

You’re stressing it and that may cause it to take longer to come down than it should. Just be patient and stop stressing.

What Are My Chances Of Getting Into Dental School?
admin
I recently graduated from a 4 year university with an MBA with 3.34 GPA and have been working in finances since. I know this is not what I want as a career, so after talking with my uncle who is a dentist, I know I would love to get into dental school to pursue this great career. I have a plan to finish a few pre-req courses at the near by university and take the DAT. Are there any tips that may help improve my chances of getting in within the next 2 years? Thank you!
-
PenPress
1. You need to score high at DAT
2. Start working / shadowing at your Uncle’s office and get a letter of recommendation.
3. Depending on the law in your state you may also look into working as a dental assistant at your uncle’s office.
Many DAs can get trained at job. That way you can show experience in the field as well and will improve your chances.
4. You can also write to different dental schools of choice and ask them if you can shadow at their practices / clinics. Use your uncle’s acquaintances to arrange that, if you have to.
Sometimes getting in touch with the local dental organization also helps.
Your having the MBA can work against you, because you are already qualified enough to get a job though in this bad economy that field will not help you much.
The dental schools will value applicants who definitely need to get into the program to get licensed for a job.
So, prepare a resume which will prove why and how you can combine the knowledge in finances to succeed in the field of dentistry.
In other words, make a case that even dentistry is a business where ethics and quality care matter.
In this bad economy you are already equipped to merge that skill into the heath care delivery to make any dental setting profitable.
….And apply to as many dental schools as possible.
Good luck !!

What Causes Low Vitamin D Levels Apart From Lack Of Sunlight?
admin
I am always outside walking my dog, but have just been told I have severely low levels of Vitamin D. What am I doing wrong?
-
Mr Shallow
Vitamin D deficiency can result from inadequate intake coupled with inadequate sunlight exposure, disorders that limit its absorption, conditions that impair conversion of vitamin D into active metabolites, such as liver or kidney disorders, or, rarely, by a number of hereditary disorders. Deficiency results in impaired bone mineralization, and leads to bone softening diseases, rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, and possibly contributes to osteoporosis. Research has indicated that vitamin D deficiency is linked to colon cancer; conflicting evidence links vitamin D deficiency to other forms of cancer.
you can also get Vitamin D from other food sources too, like milk, fish, cereal, mushrooms, eggs, bread, yogurt. -
Daffodil
There are several causes of low vitamin D levels. The main ones are:
Lack of:
* Fish liver oils, such as cod liver oil.
* Fatty fish species, such as:
o Herring
o Catfish
o Salmon
o Mackerel
o Sardines
o Tuna
o Eel
* Mushrooms
* Egg
If you have low Vitamin D levels, ask your pharmacist or doctor to prescribe you some Vitamin D supplements, or you could just get them yourself at a pharmacy. Alternatively, you could try eating more of the foods I mentioned above.

Best Metal Bands
do you eat fish? I guess not, it’s the only source of vitamin D I know other than the sunlight.

How Many Days A Week Does A Dental Assistant Work?
admin
I was just woondering wether i wanted to be a dental assistant or an esthetician but who works longer hours.
-
beth s
I’ve worked at several offices – and all dentists are different as to what hours they work.
One office I worked Mon Tues Wed from 8:30 til 5, half a day Thurs and all day Friday.
Another office was 7-3 two days a week and 2-10 (yup, pm) two days a week.
Currently I work 6am – 4pm Mon Tues and Wed, with nice long 4 days weekends (but I’ve been there for 10 years and pretty much the dentist lets me get away with murder)
I’d say 30-40 hours a week is pretty average, with most offices working 8-5 with an hour for lunch. -
WP Robot
it depends on the office. my mom works as a dental assistant and she has worked a 5 day schedule at one office, some will have 4 days, sometimes she would have half days… so it depends on the hours the office is open, and what days the dentist will be in.

Try a product called Miracell, available at Walgreens & most health food stores. It will start to work immediately, but may take til summer if the scars are deep. They have thousands of testimonials of skin conditions it clears up.
cosmic_q 5:48 am on March 1, 2010 Permalink
It can take up to months or years, from my own experience. I’d take both vitamin E capsules and also buy the oil (you can actually buy it in a pure form, such as Bio Oil, which is designed to try to minimise scars but it’s a bit more expensive) to rub on your scars.
Allowing your skin to tan ever so slightly also helps to camoflage scaring so, even if you’re too embarassed, try to wear shorts in privacy of your own garden if you can. But mind to be wearing sun cream when you do so rather than the oil. Concealor (ordinary concealor or something specialist like http://www.dermablend.com/) or even fake tan is also a good option to hide scars and if they’re really bad, you should consider visiting your doctors to see if he suggests anything more.
Michelle D 7:20 am on March 1, 2010 Permalink
Vitamin E has never helped my scars lighten up any. I used it for months at a time. I’ve used the thick gooey vitamin E as well as the vitamin E oil, but like I said, they didn’t help me out and I have a very large and dark scar on my abdomen. Sorry.
luisa_ma 10:19 am on March 1, 2010 Permalink
You should get a Vitamin E lotion – just rub it all over your legs every day. It will work gradually over time. You can use a self-tanner to cover the marks.
If you find that you pick your skin and can’t stop, there’s a name for it – dermatillamania. Google it – you’ll see it’s more common than you think. You can try mild anti-anxiety medications or therapy to help you stop.
lynno 5:02 pm on March 1, 2010 Permalink
a few weeks, open the capsuals and put direct onto your legs, twice a day, and still take them.
