In your 20s or 30s? Health signs to look out for.
2009-11-09 08:16:00 Too old for the annual pediatrician visit--and too young for the annual mammogram or prostate exam--people in their 20s and 30s can easily go years without seeing a doctor. And sometimes, doctors say, that's OK."As long as men are feeling good, their weight is stable, they have no undue pain, they're functioning well at their job, in their relationships and at home, then for the most part, they don't need to be seen," said Dr. Ted Epperly, board chairman of the American Academy of Family Physicians. Same goes for young women, though they should have regular gynecological appointments for Pap smears and breast exams.That doesn't mean young people are home-free. If you're having symptoms of anything--worst headache ever, bleeding from...

The Price on Your Life
2009-11-04 10:51:00 Unfortunately, the title is not referring to a skilled sniper waiting on the top of a building targeting you because your own government leaked your CIA ?secret? identity to get to your husband; that would have been a really cool story if it could have ever happened in real life?.I am referring to guys sitting at the top of tall buildings wearing fancy suits and sitting around board room tables talking about how to save their company big bucks, putting more money in their own wallets, and denying you health care coverage, all at the same time. At the moment, everyone is focusing on what they think is wrong with the new health care reform bill so I thought I would take some time to focus on what is totally faked up with the current private insurance business. read more

What do Choppers, Jihadists & Anti-Depressants Have in Common?

I was thinking about the fun I'd have for the rest of the day far away from my cubicle when all of a sudden my tranquillity was interrupted by something that sounded like a big explosion. For a microsecond I felt like I was in the middle of Kabul. I looked at the TV in case BBC was showing the latest Taliban attack, but to my avail, it was showing the latest results from the Ashes. Then another loud bang almost made me dropped my precious coffee on my Polo robe. ?What The Flying FAK', I thought?

Do Not Blame It On The Pigs
2009-09-22 10:30:00 Michael Slackman has decided that the latest garbage problem in Egypt is the result of Mubarak?s decision to kill all the pigs despite the direct reason ?which he mentioned in his report in a fast reference if I may say" is the disagreement between the foreign garbage companies and the governorates. Just put things straight here I would to mention some points : The main reason of this problem is the disagreement between the foreign garbage companies with the governorates. Another main reason to be honest is how our government is dealing with the crisis, if the government wants really to solve this problem ,it could do ; after all when Gamal Mubarak visited Agouza, the streets had been cleaned for him and I saw it by my own eyes !! Sometimes this regime like previous regimes creates crisis for its own people to make them busy from things that really matters.
