Hi Jasmine,

 

That's strange you still haven't got a confirmation e-mail. I tried solving the problem so check whether you can post on the forum now. If it still doesn't work, I shall delete your username so that you can try registering again.

 

Regards,

 

John.

My name is John Brace and i would like to ask if you would consider
using a new forum all about fears and phobias. I am currently
working on the web-site but there is a basic site up and running at
www.ofear.com.

I would love for the forum to become a meeting place for people to
discuss their fears and phobias in a relaxed calming atmosphere.
There will also be the chance to join the community forums there and
discuss various topics from t.v programs to your favourite recipes.
Thats the kind of atmosphere i would like to create.

Please let me know your thoughts even if they are negative as i am
working on this purely for fun in my spare time.

I look forward to your kind reply and hopefully seeing you in the

Hi Lorna!  I can sympathize with your fear!  However, you need to get that shoulder checked.  Consider calling a doctor you trust, on the phone, and tell him what is going on with you.  I had to have surgery this spring and I finally told me regular doc what my problem was.  She helped me a lot.  I used an anti anxiety medicine just for a couple of weeks prior to my surgery and it helped a lot.  But also just knowing that she was on my side and was trying to help me, helped.  Remember, when/if you go in, you are in charge.  You can refuse any treatment.  Also Anxiety is very treatable with a counselor/psychologist.  I know I'm considering it.  From what I understand it can be reduced or eliminated in 6 or less sessions.  Good Luck to you!

Hello, Thanks for your post.I also worked in a teaching hospital
some years ago as a aide. I worked with doctors and even ate lunch
or dinner with them depending on the shift.There were just one or
two out of the lot that the staff trusted. It seems like they have
become so smart that they have become incompetent. We have a pet
rabbit and had taken him to the vet, I trust the vet a lot more then
any Md or other that I have seen. I wish the our vet would go into
the teaching hospitals and teach these wonders how to practice
medicine. Thanks
Henry

Hi,

Join Doctor's Forum at http://www.doctor.vg

I found this group by accident today when I was looking for
something else. I've been working in health care for more years
than I care to remember...ummm...around 28 years, total. (I started
working when I was 8 *wink*) so I joined your group in the hope that
I could help answer your questions and maybe calm your fears just a
tad. :) I'm not a doctor or a nurse; I'm a surgical technologist
with around 8 years experience in surgery. I've been working in
endoscopy (you don't want to know LOL) for the past 4 years.
Believe it or not, most doctors, nurses, and assorted other people
you'll run into in a hospital or doctor's office are just like you.
We laugh, we cry, we have our bad habits, and we have our fears (my
personal phobias are clowns and frogs...and you thought fears of
doctors were silly? LOL).

My pet peeve is other medical professionals who are insensitive to
patients' fears. I've been known to yell at doctors for that. Hmm,
come to think of it, I wrote a doctor up and took him to hospital
administration, and yes, he got into major trouble, and he did
change his ways. Most nurses and doctors realize we are patient
advocates, and we work hard to keep the patients' best interests at
heart.

Hopefully, I can help you make sense of the completely non-
understandable language that health care professionals tend to
speak, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I won't
try to give you a diagnosis or medical advice, but I will try to put
into plain English what a doctor tells you, or I'll tell you what to
expect from a doctor's visit...and I'll be glad to tell you what you
can tell him to make sure a procedure is as painless as possible.
So if you have any questions or concerns, fire away...I won't laugh
at you (remember the frog phobia). :)

can tell him to make sure a procedure is as painless as possible.
So if you have any questions or concerns, fire away...I won't laugh

Autism seems to be increasing worldwide, if not in London

EDITOR—It would be wonderful if autism had reached a plateau in northeast London, as reported by Mayor.¹ Unfortunately, this has not happened anywhere else.

In Cambridgeshire one in 175 children in school had a diagnosis of autism in 2001 (F Scott, personal communication). According to a recently reported study by the Highland Council Education Department, as many as one primary schoolchild in 49 has been diagnosed with, or is awaiting diagnosis of, autistic spectrum disorder in the Inverness area.²

In the United States, where criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, fourth revision have been exclusively used since 1994, 28 813 children aged 6-21 with autism attended school in 1995-6 compared with 118 603 in 2002-3, an annual increase of 18-26%, according to official reports to Congress.³ The California Department of Developmental Services reported that 3577 children with new cases of autism accessed services in 2002 (10 cases a day) compared with 633 in 1994. With an increase of 97% in the past four years, autism has become the top disability requiring initiation of services in the state. The last yearly increase of 31% is the largest in 33 years.⁴

In Canada's Province of Quebec the number of children with pervasive developmental disorders in schools increased by 63% in two years, from 1388 in September 2001 to 2267 in September 2003 according to the Ministry of Education of Quebec (C La Haie, fourth international medical conference on autism, Montreal, November 2003).

Lastly, in Saudi Arabia (population under 23 million) there were 42 500 confirmed cases of autism in 2002, and many more cases remain undiagnosed.⁵

Taylor's raw data have remained inaccessible since 1999, when he first denied any connection between autism and measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination, in a study that neither had a population based cohort design nor sufficient statistical power to detect an association.^{w1 w2 w3}
