Could Senator Kennedy’s brain operation alter his mind to the point of becoming a right wing conservative?
Question by Ricky: Could Senator Kennedy’s brain operation alter his mind to the point of becoming a right wing conservative?
Well he sure is rich enough: Kennedy has a history of seeking top medical care available for his family. He pulled daughter Kara out of Johns Hopkins and brought her to a Boston hospital when he was not satisfied with the initial course of treatment she was getting for lung cancer five years ago.
In addition to his congressional health insurance plan, which is often described as one of the most generous in the country, Kennedy’s wealth gives him the means to afford the best possible health care. The senator is known to reach into his own pocket and pay supplemental salary to staffers who otherwise might be tempted to leave his office for better paying jobs.

Can someone tell me if these symptoms point to a severe underlying illness?
Question by Madz: Can someone tell me if these symptoms point to a severe underlying illness?
Hi, I am asking this about my mother. Last night she came into my room, she said her mind went blank and she almost immediately sat on my bed saying something was wrong. She looked like she was having a stoke or heart pain she didn’t talk about it. But she said it was scary. She just blanked out and collapsed on my bed. Do you have any idea what this could be?
She’s borderline diabetic but on metformin. She’s beeon on it a year.
Moderate smoker.
Brain tumors run in the family.
A lot of lung diseases as well.
She’s in the 45-50 range.
Doesn’t eat a lot of carbs. So I don’t think itd be a sugar spike.
I know this is a broad question but I just wondered if anyone knew of anything similar happening, or what it could be.
Thank you.

How did it get to the point that people could sue companies for things such as…?
Question by Gardener for God(dmd): How did it get to the point that people could sue companies for things such as…?
Two examples:
Hot coffee THEY are holding, or having got in the drive through, on themselves and getting burned.
Smoking and getting respiratory disease – blaming the makers of cigarettes when THEY made a choice to smoke.
Who authorized such laws that clearly give money to people for making stupid choices?
Is it per court system, or is there a general law making this an option to do ?

Question by juiceysoul: Can one be unaware of having cancer up until the point where it has spread to the lymph nodes?
Technically speaking, is it possible for one to have cancer in any of the following organs: ovaries, uterus, cervix, lung, stomach
AND have absolutely no symptoms AT ALL until they find out it has already spread to their lymph nodes?
I know its possible, but isnt that quite a rare case scenario?

Yes some organs like lungs will not have symptoms such as pain and my be mixed with asthma symptoms before they are diagnosed. My mom didn’t know until she stained her back and they found it on xray. It was already progressed. we lost her less than a year later even with treatment.

Whats the point of having PHD’s and studies on verious things if no one really pays attantion to anything?
Question by Advil: Whats the point of having PHD’s and studies on verious things if no one really pays attantion to anything?
Every time you go on the internet or open a newspaper all you here is new studied find this new studies fine that and their all over the place. Even when they do find something of important’s like a doctor telling you hay stop eating so much or you will get fat and die or hay stop smoking or you will get lung cancer and die. Life goes on and all this research falls very much on def ears without making the least bit of change.
Best answer:
Answer by Drevyek
well.
most people get PHDs to teach, or to write about their topic in journals, or in books. Some people get them because they love their field. not every PHD is a science or study one- the word is, literally, for philosophy students actually.
Personally I want to be a Linguistic PHD because I love the study of language. I have no career prospects after college, but I love Linguistics. the studies are generally for people of the same field of study- done by and for doctors.
you are right in saying that the studies sometimes fall on deaf ears, but they also often fall on interested ears. You may not find it interesting that the North Caucasian languages could be related to Basque, but I would find that study so insanely interesting that I wouldn’t be able to control myself (the two are actually unrelated if you were interested btw). But that s a perfect example.
Most studies are useless for the public, but are really cool to people n the profession.

Q&A: What’s the point of marijuana prohibition?
Question by Alex: What’s the point of marijuana prohibition?
I don’t understand why our country feels the need to outlaw this drug. Aspirin, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and perscription medications are just a few of the LEGAL things in America that kill thousands every year. Marijuana has no recorded fatalties yet its legal status is the same as crack cocaine. I’ve heard a few arguments against legalization but they really don’t make a lot of sense. Some reasons I’ve heard is
If you make marijuana legal more children will have access to it.
- this argument makes no sense because legalizing it actually makes it easier to regulate. Store fronts and dispensaries can ask for identification to verify that the person buying the drug is a legal adult. As it is now kids have very easy access because your local pusher man isn’t going to ask to see an I.D.
Marijuana is a gateway drug
- says who? what studies have shown that marijuana use means your more likely to move to a harder drug? Many people (in fact most) have probably taken a sip of alcohol before they took a puff of a joint. Is it fair to then say alcohol is a gateway drug?
Marijuana creates crime
- this argument is redundant, by outlawing it we create the situation in which criminals can profit from it. If marijuana was legal it would not have inflated street prices. We are empowering the very organizations we’re trying to fight.
More people would be prone to use it if it was legal
- that really doesn’t make sense because if someone is “prone” to use marijuana they will use it now despite its current legal status. making it legal does not mean the entire nation is suddenly going to go to pot. give people some credit, if they weren’t likely to smoke when it was illegal they probably won’t change their stance if it became legal. Just like i have no desire to smoke tobacco no matter how legal it is.
More people would drive stoned
- this is a moot point as in most states its already illegal to drive under the influence of a substance and making marijuana legal does not mean that law has to change. alcohol is legal but you cannot drive under its influence. some will say that marijuana intoxication is harder to detect, that’s true but the same applies to perscription medications, very difficult to detect.
Productivity in the workforce will decrease
- really? that myth or fear can be dispelled by companies having the right to have their own drug policies. I have no problem with a business deciding to drug test its employees but i do think people should not lose their FREEDOM over marijuana.
And last but certainly not least, marijuana is harmful
- there has been no recorded fatalties in all of history of a single person dying from THC overdose. there has been no conclusive study linking marijuana use to lung cancer. we see the evidence of how much harm tobacco and alcohol causes people, lives, and communities yet we sell those in every gas station and grocery store. i’m not saying we should outlaw booze and tobacco because that would be stupid too, but we need to have laws that are logical and make sense. Marijuana prohibition is not benefitting anyone and it makes ordinary, nonviolent people criminals.
That’s my 2 cents what do you think?
Best answer:
Answer by Katerine
You know, I ask myself that sometimes also.
But marijuana has been proven to do less damage than alcohol and cigarets. If it ever becomes legal, it should stick to medical issues such as depression disorders and anxiety disorders. Also could be used as a pain reliever.
There should be an age limit for that and driving stone would cause problems too. So it should still probably stay legal for medical issues and illegal for random uses. Cops should still fine someone if they drive stone or if they get caught without a prescription.
One last thing, it cannot kill. You’ll pass out before you go into an overdose on this.

Question by : I’ve been offered very low on the insurance settlement, do I need a personal injury lawyer at this point?
I got into a car accident few months ago in Seattle and my car was totaled. It was a new BMW and I had full insurance and coverage on the car, now my insurance is delaying the payment and it’s bringing all kinds of excuses not to pay full amount. Do I have a personal injury case? Should I call a personal injury lawyer to deal with my insurance at this point? The insurances now a days are just caring about their own pockets and nothing else: (
Best answer:
Answer by mbrcatz
Personal injury, is when someone else causes the accident, and causes injury to your body. Were you hurt? Who’s fault was the accident?? You don’t mention either of these.
A brand new car will depreciate 20% or even more, the second you drive it off the lot. You can get an estimate of what your car is ‘worth’ by checking the private party sale value at kbb, edmonds, or nada. You don’t get retail, you don’t get cost new, you don’t get loan payoff. You get “actual cash value”. Minus your deductible, that’s probably where the discrepancy is.
You hire a personal injury lawyer, when you’re suing the party who CAUSED your injuries, for pain & suffering and medical bills. You don’t hire a lawyer to deal with your OWN insurance, unless you’ve got gobs of money that you’re dying to pay to the lawyer.

TBHQ tertiary butylhydroquinone, which is an antioxidant that comes from petroleum and is related to butane. TBHQ reduces oxidative deterioration in foods it is applied to, delaying the onset of rancidness. It is particularly effective in reducing the deterioration of fats and oils and aids in reducing nutritional loss over time and extending storage life. Toxicity As a food additive, the FDA allows TBHQ to make up no more than 0.02 percent of the total oils in a food. Consuming up to a gram of TBHQ can cause variable toxicity, and up to 5 grams can be fatal Side Effects Consuming high doses of TBHQ (between 1 and 4 grams, approximately) can lead to a variety of negative symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), delirium and collapse. But the sheer amount of food consumption necessary to be afflicted by TBHQ toxicity generally makes these symptoms extremely rare. If you over eat who knows? Carcinogenesis In toxicity studies, long-term, high-dose TBHQ administration in lab animals showed a tendency for them to develop cancerous precursors in the stomach, as well as causing DNA damage. But unlike other antioxidant additives, it did not cause lung lesions in laboratory animals.

Kidney Cancer Point Designation
Kidney Cancer Point Designation
Article by Sebastian Kervin
Kidney cancer point designations give your physician a means of describing how long the disease has moved on. By knowing the point, the doctor can begin to be able to formulate a treatment strategy.
The greatest value of setting a stage is it lets the doctor * and the patient — know how serious the sickness has become and how significantly cancer cells get spread. The doctor must know whether cancers cells are limited to the kidneys, or perhaps have they spread towards the adjacent adrenal glands, lymph nodes, as well as to distant internal organs and tissues by the body processes. With this in mind, you can discover why knowing the stage is critical for making a treatment and designing remedy regimen.
Doctors think about range of factors within determining what point renal (“renal” is a health care term for elimination) cancer has attained. After all tests as well as diagnostic tools are already examined, a point will be assigned. Typically the figures range from 1 to be able to 4. Some medical experts prefer to use Roman amounts (I through Intravenous).
Knowing the stage may also give patients a fairly reliable way to imagine survival rates (that are usually based on 5-year time periods). There’s no guarantee, naturally, that someone whose most cancers has been caught earlier will survive longer compared to someone diagnosed in a later stage. Yet obviously, someone using early stage kidney most cancers has a better possibility at longevity as compared to someone who is diagnosed with any later stage.
The next offers basic points of each stage.Phase 1 – Just about all cancer cells seem concentrated within a elimination and have not propagated to adjacent glands, cells or organs. The particular cancerous area is not any bigger than 2.Eight inches across (concerning 7 centimeters).
Point 2 – At this time, the cancer is still found only in the renal system, but it has grown bigger than 2.8 inches wide.
Stage 3 – Kidney cancer is much more complicated to treat with Stage 3 given it has spread for the adjacent adrenal gland or perhaps a major vein nearby the kidney. It may also always be found in no more than 1 lymph node.
Stage 4 – At Stage Four, kidney cancer features reached a very hazardous point. The cancer provides metastasized, meaning it has propagated to other parts of the body and it is affecting other cells or possibly a distant wood. It can now be also found in more than one lymph node.
Along with assigning a period to kidney cancer malignancy, doctors may also specify a “grade.” This is the further tool inside defining the potential threat. The grade identifies how cancer tissues look when analyzed under a microscope.
In case there is not much distinction in appearance between the most cancers cells and typical cells, a low level will be designated. Nonetheless, when there is a huge difference in appearance between regular cells and unusual cells, a higher quality will be designated. Quality determinations are an indicator regarding how aggressive cancer is and how rapidly it is probably going to distributed.
Cancers that get a higher grade usually spread more quickly, and they are therefore more unsafe.
Summarizing, they best value in having the stage kidney cancer malignancy has reached is giving the patient the prognosis and analyzing treatment options.
Kidney most cancers occurs most often in grown-ups who have reached Half a century of age, and it happens twice as often to be able to men as it gives women. Kidney most cancers accounts for approximately A 12 000 deaths annually in the United States, according to statistics unveiled by the American Cancer malignancy Society. 30,500 new cases are usually diagnosed annually.
Ideally, as research towards finding a cure moves forward, these quantities will come down. At the same time, knowing the stage renal system cancer has arrived at in individual circumstances will be a valuable analysis tool in helping physicians save as many lifestyles as possible.

Three Point Checklist for Hiring Personal Injury Lawyers
Three Point Checklist for Hiring Personal Injury Lawyers
Article by Jessica A Parker
1. Personal Injury Lawyers – Areas of Expertise
Personal Injury Lawyers operate in a specific area of the law in the UK. They independently advise and represent clients from the beginning of the claims process through to the final verdict. There are various types of claim that fall under the remit of Personal Injury Lawyers. Some of these include:
Road Traffic Accidents that result in bodily injuries e.g. whiplash
Industrial Related Illnesses such as exposure to asbestos, chemical accidents and white finger caused by vibrations
Accidents/Illnesses caused in the Workplace including Slips & Trips, RSI or those sustained “on-site” in the construction industry
Accidents resulting in serious injury, such as back injuries
Medical Negligence
In general, when an injury has been sustained as a result of someone else’s actions or negligence, then a Personal Injury Lawyer will be able to help qualify a claim.
2. How to Find Personal Injury Lawyers
When hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer it is important to ascertain that they have experience in the type of claim that is being pursued and are based locally.There are a number of legal firms who specialise in the Personal Injury sector. Reputable firms who specialise in any given sector, who are also local to the claimant can be sourced from a Personal Injury Claims specialist, or claims management company. These companies can quickly clarify the potential of the claim in terms of whether it meets lawful criteria and is thus worthy of pursuit. Many of these specialists operate on a ‘No Win No Fee’ or ‘Conditional Fee Arrangement’ basis. If for some reason a claim doesn’t fall under this criteria it can still potentially be pursued through other channels.
An alternative to using a claims management company would be to independently research qualified and experienced lawyers in the claimant’s local area. This can be carried out on-line or by contacting other independent bodies for help and guidance such as the Citizens Advice Bureau.
3. Determining Eligibility of Claim
Many Personal Injury Lawyers can be hired under a ‘No Win No Fee’ arrangement. This means that if the case is unsuccessful the lawyer will not charge the client for their fees. In addition, if the case is successful the claimant usually still receives 100% of the damages, as the lawyer’s fees are recovered from the other side. This process was set up to ensure open and fair access to the legal system in order to help reduce issues of social exclusion. There are certain criteria that must be met for the claim to be pursued on a no win no fee basis.
In general, a claim should be raised in a reasonably timely manner (less than three years) and the injury received should have been caused directly or indirectly by another party’s negligence.The purpose of the claim is to compensate the client financially for the other party’s negligence. The Personal Injury Lawyer can help determine current and future financial losses, incorporating: the type and extent of injuries received taking into account physical, mental and emotional harm; medical expenses; the impact on quality of life; and loss of earnings. This will result in a Schedule of Loss that summarises the above into absolute financial amounts and will be used during the claims process to gauge the value of the amount of compensation being pursued by the claimant.
Personal Injury Lawyers – Checklist
1. If a personal injury has been sustained then a Personal Injury Lawyer will have the experience to advise on the potential of the claim.
2. A Personal Injury Lawyer can be contacted via a specialist claims management company, personal search, or from Government community legal services.
3. Personal injury claims can often be pursued on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.
