Does anyone else have a hard time feeling sorry for someone else when they’re responsible for their condition?
Question by 20022006: Does anyone else have a hard time feeling sorry for someone else when they’re responsible for their condition?
Some examples:
Alcoholics with liver disease.
Smokers with lung cancer.
Poor people with multiple children.
Promiscuous people with STDs
People with poor diets who are obese.
People with bad teeth who have poor dental hygeine/poor diet, drink soda pop all the time.
I consider myself liberal, but I just can’t bring myself to have sympathy for people who are responsible for their own maladies. No one puts a gun to your head and makes you do these things. I feel sorry where children are involved, but that’s about it.
Practically everyone takes health class in Junior High/Middle and High School.

Can someone help me with a respiratory question for anatomy. It deals with Chronic emphysema. Thank you?
Question by Myrika S: Can someone help me with a respiratory question for anatomy. It deals with Chronic emphysema. Thank you?
In Chronic Emphysema, some alveoli merge together & some are replaced with fibrous connective tissue.?
In addition, the bronchioles are often inflamed, and expiratory volume is reduced. Using proper respiratory system terminology, explain at least four reasons why affected individuals will have problems with ventilation and expiration.
Best answer:
Answer by seekingthedarkness
first there is destruction of the nomral respiratory bronchiles and alveolar sac so this will interfere with nrmal diffusion of o2
2nd the loss of surrinding supportive tissue would result in their collapse during expiration so decreased expiratory flow
3rd the mucosal inflammation by its self will decrease the diamter of the airways resulting in increased resistance to air flow –>decreased air flow and wheeze
4th loss of elastic tissue of the ling which is responsible for restoring the normal volume of the lung after inspiration air entrappment and deceased air flow
i hope this will help u

Q&A: I know this is a lot to ask, but can someone please edit my essay about eating disorders? (10 points)?
Question by Iheartart: I know this is a lot to ask, but can someone please edit my essay about eating disorders? (10 points)?
Please give your opinions and incites on what you think, what I should improve on to make it better, and correct any misspellings. Thanks a lot! Only constructive critism please! Here is my essay:
Sometimes, you can’t just be happy with who you are. You feel depressed but you want to keep your feelings all in. Having low self-esteem, depression, or stress can lead to an eating disorder. An eating disorder is an illness that causes a person to develop unhealthy eating habits. The three types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating. Having an eating disorder can affect your relationship with other, cause you to think many negative thoughts about yourself and your body, and damage your health. If you suspect that someone has an eating disorder, it is important that you show support for that person so they can have a healthy attitude and body. As you grow older, you begin to feel more conscious of your body. You go through physical changes, as well as “social pressures.” One or two out of one hundred kids, particularly girls, that struggle with this disorder can successfully hide their extreme weight loss from their parents for months or years. Anorexia can come from psychological, genetic, social, and family factors. Many girls are exposed to images of thin models that have the “ideal” body size. Participating in activities such as gymnastics,where thinness is emphasized can also lead to anorexia. Since parents are role models fortheir children, a parent’s body image, their lifestyle, and their dieting Once someone is obsessed with dieting,exercise, and taking laxatives, they will still see themselves as overweight even if they can see their bones.
Anorexics usually portion their food carefully or come up with excuses to skip their meals. Without receiving the nutrients the body needs to keep your bones strong, and help the body maintain homeostasis, the lack of nutrients will affect the body in many ways:
bulleted-(in women) losing at least three consecutive menstrual periods;not wanting or refusing to eat in public;anxiety; weakness;brittle teeth; shortness of breath;obsessiveness about calorie intake;severe malnutrition;a drop in pulse and breathing rate;kidney failure;hair loss and fingernail breakage;lanugo hair;lightheadedness and inability to concentrate;anemia;swollen joints;dry and yellow skin; higher levels of cortisol and vasopressin
death
Being anorexic can also result in an irregular heartbeat, permanent failure of normal growth, and osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become weak and can breakeasily. You may feel cold most of the time because your body temperature decreases.Taking laxatives can wear out the bowel muscles, causing it to decrease in function. Sometimes, it’s hard for parents to tell the difference between their child to be “self-image” concerns and “warning signs” to anorexia. Someone that is self conscious and on a strict diet may not necessarily be anorexic. There are “glaring” abnormal behaviors and physical signs.
Someone who is anorexic may:
become very thin, frail, or emaciated;be obsessed with eating food and weight control;weigh herself or himself repeatedly;count or portion their food carefully;only eat certain foods, such as diary and wheat;exercise excessively;feel fat even if their body is literally only showing a sheet of skin and bones;withdraw from social activities, especially meals or celebrations involving food;be depressed, lack energy, and often feel cold
If you suspect that your child or someone you know is anorexic, it is important to give as much support to them as you can, and try to help them admit that they have an eating disorder. Some people may feel depression, anger, or denial when faced to admit that they are anorexic. Try to show your concern and approach the person in a loving and supportive way. Use “I” instead of “you.” If the person is still in denial, try to be patient, saying that you’ll be there whenever they are ready to talk about it. Get help from a doctor, nutritionist, and a therapist. Encourage a healthy outlook on nutrition, exercise, and their appearance to help them raise their self esteem. For parents, it’s critical to make exercise a regular family activity and have their child help prepare nutritional meals for the whole family.
Bulimia is another type of eating diorder that involves dieting. A person with bulimia is tempted to eat “comfort foods”, such as ice cream or cake. After their out-of-control eating, the person will feel ashamed and guilty for what they have done. They will try inappropriate methods of weight control, such as vomiting and fasting. Bulimics will show excessive shape and weight concern, yet still consume quantities of food up to 20,000 calories a day. This all begins with dissatisfaction of the bodt.
Like anorexia, bulimia also involves being exposed to pictures of thin models and then not being able to feel good about themselves. Fami
A LITTLE HELPS! PLEASE PEOPLE! I’D EXTREMELY APPRECIATE IT! HOW SHOULD I START AND END MY COMCLUDING PARAGRAPH? MY ESSAY WAS TOO SHORT, SO IT GOT CUT OFF. THANKS!
Best answer:
Answer by Mary M
just a few tips…
try not to use contractions
when you say “anorexics” you are isolating them from the everyone else it would be better to say people with anorexia or something like that
“Being anorexic can also result in an irregular heartbeat, permanent failure of normal growth, and osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become weak and can breakeasily.” you use a lot of comas here. take out the one between “osteoporosis and a” and replace it with “which is” then take out “in which” and replace it with “that causes” then take out the “can” before “break”
try to read through it yourself and see if there are any other places where comas can be taken out. otherwise it looked superb

Life expectancy of someone with emphysema?
Question by : Life expectancy of someone with emphysema?
My dad(now 57) got diagnosed last year. He did not quite smoking either. He doesn’t really seem to care, or realize that this is a life-threatening disease. I have done a little research, but what are his chances of living until he is 60. He sleeps with an oxygen mask. He smokes at least a pack a day, drinks coffee, doesn’t exercise. It is sad how horrible he lives his life, but I am only 15, and want him to see me graduate.. Is it possible this can happen. And if so, how much longer do you think he could have. They diagnosed him when he passed out soo much, because he had a build up of tar in his lungs he couldn’t breathe. That was last year or 2 years ago, but I remember about 5-7 years ago that happened too. He passed out while driving because he couldn’t get any oxygen, could that have been the emphysema too, meaning he has had it for more than a year or two? I want him to see me get married. Have children, live my life. I doubt that will happen, but at least I want him to see me graduate. My grandpa promised me he would live long enough to see me graduate, unfortunately he passed away from cancer 2 years ago. I never expected my dad not to live that long either. I wanted both of them, and now I may not have either of them. What do you think?
Best answer:
Answer by Extra Stuff
My father also , a smoker, was diagnosed at age 60, and died at 84, but he did not use oxygen.
Everyone is different and there is no set rule on how long one can live with this disease.

If someone has colon cancer do they always get chemo or radiation?
Question by : If someone has colon cancer do they always get chemo or radiation?
If someone has colon cancer do they always get chemo or radiation? My friend said that he has colon cancer not sure if i believe him. He said 4 weeks ago he had surgery. But then he mentioned he will have to have physical therapy. I think his physical therapy was due to his back. He said the doctors never told him about how long he has to live. Why would someone need physical therapy after a colon operation.
Best answer:
Answer by N
In some cases surgery is all that is necessary. In more advanced stages additional treatment, like chemo, may be necessary.
If he was bedbound for more than a week he may have become weak and needed some therapy to help him get back on his feet and regain his strength.

If so what is your story? how did you get through it or how did they? How was your outlook or there outlook on life and how did they or do they get through it?
Best answer:
Answer by Memory
You get through it one day at a time. It’s hard for the person who is sick and also hard for the relatives. At first one feels anger and sort of let down. But with time all that goes away. You learn to accept it. At first it’s best to keep yourself occupied, it will distract you from dwelling on negative thoughts. But as the days and weeks go by, it gets easier. But there is no fast way of getting over it.

Q&A: i want to be intimate with someone with hpv but he doesnt want to?
Question by : i want to be intimate with someone with hpv but he doesnt want to?
basically, its all in the title. im in love with someone with hpv, he told me and said he wouldnt sleep with me because of this. i have lung cancer so my immune system is dead. thing is, i haven’t told him but my cancer is spreading to the lymph nodes. he’s worried about me developing cervical cancer when really in my head thats nothing compared to whats going on. im planning on telling him but not right now.
if im honest, i love this guy, im sexually frustrated and i just want to be intimate probably with the last man ill ever have. how do i get this across to him?
so we both get sexually frustrated, he doesnt want to spread it so i get it in the ear because he has HPV and i have to find someone else to make me satisfied and i lose the man i love? yeah, great advice but im not leaving it. he says he loves me, the ultimate reason why he doesnt want to make my health worse, thus i cant ignore this problem and just leave it.
Best answer:
Answer by bonnie b
HE dos not want to so DO NOT force him to do anything he doesnt want to….Do you want the HPV virus? Don’t think so. If you are frustrated….live with it

The Bubonic Plague: Black Death
Everyone in this room has probably heard the nursery rhyme ring around the rosy…but you probably didn’t know that this innocent song was a child’s depiction of the black plague.
Ring around the rosy: One of the first signs a person was infected were little red bumps surrounded by rings, all over the persons’ body.
Pocket full of Posy: A common belief of the time was that the plague was spread by “foul air.” The thought was that people could escape from the bad air by keeping their local air smelling “sweet”. That, and it also helped them deal with the smell of the dead. Another sign of infection was the awful smell that would begin to rise from the victim’s body as their lymph system began filling with blood. Those that were infected and still able to walk often escaped detection by carrying flowers, such as posies, in their pockets.
Ashes, Ashes: In the last phases of the disease victims would have internal hemorrhaging, sometimes sneezing as it irritated their lungs. Ashes is a child’s view of a person sneezing, but in this weakened state, a victim could, and often did, sneeze their lungs out.
We all Fall Down: I probably shouldn’t need to explain that one.
The number of cases on a global scale every year is from 1000 to 3000, 14% of which are fatal. Even though the first reports of the plague were in the Ukraine in 1347, there are still 10-20 people diagnosed with it each year in the United States. However, the numbers have been gradually going down year by year due to countries’ getting a better control on their rodent population. Only 14% are fatal because since 1347, we have developed drugs such as tetracycline and streptomycin, which will cure the plague if received within a day of the 1st symptoms.
did i miss anything? can anything be added for more detail? thanks! any additional info would be appreciated!
We all fall down: Around the fifth day of the disease, the victims usually die.
Even though the first reports of the plague were in the Ukraine in 1347, there are still 10-20 people diagnosed with it each year in the United States. But because the disease is spread by the fleas on rats it can be almost anywhere in the world. However, the numbers have been gradually going down year by year due to countries’ getting a better control on their rodent population.

The Black Death
Would you be able to imagine one day you were bitten by a flea and didn’t even notice and on that same day you started swelling of the lymph nodes and suffered from high fevers? Then in a matter of hours or a few days you would be dead. During 1347 in Europe people had to face this problem. No one had an answer why everyone was getting sick. They had thought it was an evil force over which human beings had no control or that god was punishing them. They punished themselves in order to beg God’s forgiveness. They were called flagellants. So people began to question but no one had the correct answer. The truth that no one had known was that it was the fleas that were on the rats.
The type of rat that existed in Europe at the time of the plague was known as the Black Rat. The stages of the plague were, first the fleas carry the germs, the flea lives on the rats, the flea sucks the rats blood, the rat dies, the fleas move to the humans, flea bites the humans, and then finally the human dies.
The Black Death was the most terrifying thing that happened to people in Europe in the middle Ages. It was the most terrifying thing until the dropping of the first atomic bomb. The Black Death killed millions of men, women and children all over Europe. The Black Death occurred from 1347-1353 in Europe. It killed more than 1/3 of Europe’s population alone, carried by fleas on rats. There were about four million people in England in 1348 before the Black Death came. For the priests, the death rate was even higher because they had to visit those who were dying. Afterwards there were probably only about two and a half million left. The Black Sea Ports were hit first. The plague first migrated from Asia. The Black Death was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history. The filth that littered streets gave rats the perfect environment to breed and increase their number. Dead animals and vegetables rotted in the street. There was little effort that was made to get rid of garbage and sewage. The sewage often went into wells and made the drinking water fowl. The black rat bred and multiplied in this environment. In towns and cities people lived very close together and they knew nothing about contagious diseases. London, the biggest city in Britain, had the most deaths. Two hundred people per day were dying at the peak of the plague. They also disposed bodies and that helped to spread the disease and also those who handled the dead bodies did not protect themselves. By then they were not being buried in coffins. The bodies were just tipped into huge pits.
The Black Death came in three forms, the bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemia. Each different form of plague killed people in a vicious way. All forms were caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis also known as the plague. The septicemia plague was the most rare form of the three forms. The mortality was almost close as 100%. The Black Death got its name from the deep purple, almost black. Victims usually died the same day symptoms appeared. In some cities, almost 800 people died every day. The pneumonic plague was the second most commonly seen form of the Black Death. The pneumonic and the septicemia plague were probably seen less than the bubonic plague because the victims often died before they could reach other places. The mortality rate for the pneumonic plague was 90-95%. The pneumonic plague infected the lungs. The symptoms were slimy mucus with blood. The bubonic plague was the most commonly seen form of the Black Death. The mortality rate was 30-75%. The symptoms were large lymph nodes around arm pits, neck and groin.
Some people tried to prevent the Black Death by avoiding breathing in germs when a plague victim was around, sit next to a blazing fire, attack foreigners and people of a different religion, live in cleaner living conditions, and become more sanitized. There were others who carried flowers, herbs and spices, which they raised to their nose. They believed this was an excellent thing because the air was full of the stink of the dead and dying, and the smell of drugs. Others believed that the cure was to drink freely, to go out in public, enjoy themselves and to laugh at everyone. There were some people who stayed together and isolated in houses where there were no sick people. They lived a separate life, eating and drinking only a little amount. Some others said that the best medicine for the disease was to get away. So many men and women deserted their houses and their relations and went to the country. There were many was to prevent the Black Death.
The Black Death finally burned itself out on September 2nd and 3rd; the Great Fire of London destroyed much of the most of the plague carrying rats. The Black Death killed many people who were not immune to it and to the Europeans who survived it was called the Great Mortality.

Can someone edit this college application essay for me?
Question by Sarah: Can someone edit this college application essay for me?
Prompt: Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.
“Most Likely to Succeed.” It’s not what I expected to hear my name listed after when Senior Bests were announced over the intercom. It’s at title most driven high school seniors vie for. It’s recognition for all the hard work they’ve put in to school over the past three years and a shiny, intangible trophy to carry with them wherever they go. Yet, to me, this title means more than caffeine-fueled study sessions and piles of extracurricular activities. It’s a symbol of perseverance and a reminder that, even though graduating from high school will close a chapter of my life, I have the whole rest of the story waiting to unfold before me.
When I was four years old, I decided that I was going to be a leopard when I grew up. My sisters tried and failed to convince me that this was impossible, but I continued to crawl on my knees across the house with a plastic leopard mask strapped across my face and a leopard tucked into my pants, so I would be prepared for the day I finally became a jungle cat. My career aspirations were finally destroyed when my mother stopped letting me wear my mask and tail in public and had me watch enough Animal Planet shows to understand that leopards came from baby leopards, and not from little girls. While my first career plan didn’t work out as I had hoped, I was quick to move on to my next plan. That was how I lived my life—making plans. I planned out my wedding and drew pictures of what I would look like as a teenager. I came up with names for future children, decided how I was going to look at my senior prom, and came up with plans that, down to the last detail I could think of, showed exactly how I would live out the majority of my life. Even as a young child, I was a planner. I wanted control and direction in my life, and I was impatient for the future to arrive so I could get my plans moving.
None of my elaborate, well thought-out plans prepared me for the reality that struck me when I was in eighth grade. I was born and raised in small-town Kentucky. I didn’t fit in to the small-town, southern girl mold that was expected of me by my peers and, as a result, couldn’t wait to get out of there. My father had passed away when I was nine, but by fourteen, I was fairly certain that I had adjusted and that the wounds had healed. My plans could move forward with only slight adjustments. All of these careful, calculated plans and schemes came to a screeching halt on Valentine’s Day 2007, when my mother told my sisters and me that she had lung cancer. Nothing in my plans accounted for taking responsibility for the running of a household. There were no accommodations for being pulled out of school to go to the hospital, no way to carry out my plans without at least one parent. I didn’t plan on moving to California at the end of eighth grade to live with an aunt. For the first time I could remember, I didn’t have a single plan.
The first two years were difficult. I was disoriented; I had never moved before and I had no plan, no map to rely on. I had to learn how to make friends—something I hadn’t had the need to do since I was in preschool and had no idea how to go about doing. I had to adjust myself to a new environment that I hadn’t planned on living in. I fought against it at first, trying to still live my life according to the plans I had laid out years earlier. Every now and then I would lose sight of my plans and allow a moment of uncontrolled spontaneity leak into my life. I tried to avoid these moments, yet they kept happening more frequently. I slowly began to realize that these moments when I loosened my white-knuckled grip on my life were the moments I was turning into memories.
I am still a planner. I probably always will be. But I’ve learned to let myself have those unwritten, unplanned moments and to accept that I can’t plan for everything life has in store for me. I’ve learned that it’s okay to not have a plan ready for every possibility and to relinquish some of my control and just live. With so much of my life yet to be lived, I will carry “most likely to succeed” with me not as a title or a trophy, but as a reminder that I don’t’ need to have flawless cartography or intricate plans to succeed. When I told my aunt about being voted “most likely to succeed,” she asked me how I planned to succeed in life. I gave her the most glaringly obvious, yet hard to come by answer I could—by living.
