Medication allergies

Advantages: hopefully i have given some lifesaving advice
Disadvantages: it is still quite harm for me to write about my experience in detail as i am still shaken up by it

...~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Medication allergies ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Whilst waiting for ciao to add some of my product suggestions (there seems to be a bit of a delay at the moment) I decided to browse through the member advice section in the café as it is not an area that I have paid much attention to in the past. I came across a few areas of interest and then spotted this section ? Member advice on Medication Allergies. I will begin by telling you my story and then give the advice. Many people suffer from allergies and these can range from things such as various animals, foods, chemicals, dust, nuts etc. Some allergies are quite minor and the only real harm they will cause is discomfort to the sufferer. However, some allergies can be life threatening and need to be dealt with quickly. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ My...

Review of Member Advice on Medication Allergies

I went to the medical centre........

Advantages: The good days
Disadvantages: The bad days

...Us Medical Secretaries get a rough deal. Not only do we have to deal with abusive patients but also grumpy doctors. Both are hard to deal with, but having had special training in situations like these, I am able to deal with both. Patients need honesty and doctors need coffee!! Ok so I have been working in the medical sector for 5 years now (started when I was 17), and up until recently I have loved every minute. I worked in Reception of my local NHS governed medical centre (and still occasionally do) all the hour's god sends and I have came across all sorts of people. It wasn't until my practice manager suggested a training course up at the college for the position of medical secretary that I thought this would actually be a career! The surgery sent me to college for 1 year to do a medical secretaries course. They paid...

Review of Medical Secretary

So Medics Like To Party??

Advantages: Loads of social events, meeting new people, alcohol consumption, helps you with Medicine
Disadvantages: Sometimes called "Cliquey" even amoung medics, lots of alcohol consumption, dwindling members

...a good while to meet people and find my feet. There is a huge culture of drinking in the Society now, and with medics in general. Apparently alcohol never used to be consumed during meetings. Now it's a regular occurrence for people to bring crates of lager along. In the 1980s a runner would dash from the end of the meeting to a local pub to tell them to start pulling the pints. Instead we bring the pints to us. This is what made it all look a bit daunting to me, as I wasn't an experienced drinker. I've since realized this isn't the be all and end all as there's plenty to join in with. The Society is changing its image with each successive year's election of a new committee. I just hope that it can get rid of its reputation for cliquey-ness and just get medics involved and meeting each other. Perhaps then it can regain some of its former...

Review of Liverpool Medical Students Society (LMSS)

Generally Chaotic

Advantages: Multiplayer, nice animation, quirky
Disadvantages: Pales into obscurity versus todays technology

...I decided to write a review of this seeing as I've never met anyone else who has ever heard of this bar my own brother. we used to while away the time on this simplistic army game. The game is named after one of the storyline's main General's. The conflict in question is between the blue forces of 'General Chaos' and the red troops of 'General Havoc.' The game is a very cartoony offering from EA, released in 1994 on SEGA Mega Drive. It is a mulitplayer compatible game and two players can play either co-op or against each other, and if I'm not mistaken, it was also possible to play 4 player with use of the special multiplayer pads. I no longer own this game and as a result am reviewing this from hazy childhood memory. The two main game modes are firstly a kind of 'campaign mode' where players compete against the computer for specific...

Review of General Chaos (Mega Drive)

Clearasil medicated lotion

Advantages: satisfaction guranteed,not to pricy and easly availble in every store nearby.
Disadvantages: You won't like to use it on a dry skin.

...I use to have an oily skin and bad acne which make me feel really sick at times but I never found something useful which really works out for me and doesn't do any damage on myskin. I tried some other skin treatment products, but got some sort of issue with most of them like, high price, availability and some which doesn't work. I have almost lost all hopes to keep my face  clean with all the dirt out there. Last year my elder sister suggested me to use Clearasil Medicated lotion as she has been using it for quite some time and found it to be one useful product for skin. I told her my experience with all the previous products I used but still she forced me to try it, so I bought it one for my self the very next day and that's how I got to know about this product. About Clearasil Clearasil is a well known name and has...

Oxford Dictionary of Medical Quotations

Advantages: Interesting and a bit of fun
Disadvantages: None

...'s all any reasonable child can expect if the dad is present at the conception" really only has a link with medical matters that is at best only tenuous. Be that as it may, in general the book is interesting as it covers people as diverse as Galan in 13 to 200AD to Herb Shriner, a contemporary American comic. (Galan I quoted as saying (amongst other sayings of Galan in this publication) "That physician will hardly be thought very careful of the health of others who neglects his own." And an remark attributed to Herb Shriner: "Our doctor would never really operate unless it was necessary. He was just that way. If he didn't need the money, he wouldn't lay a hand on you." Much of the book I taken up by a very in depth cross-referenced index, listing word and the person who used the word. It is a book that is a little frothy, but...

clearasil medicated lotion

Advantages: fights spots
Disadvantages: dries skin

...Clearasil being such a big brand in the medicated face care market means you can pretty much trust that it does as it says on the bottle. The packaging and labels are informative and clear. However i found the product to be very drying, although sufferers of spots and blemished skin do tend to be greasy i am not, and therefore found that the product did not suit my skintype. i would reccomend finding out what skintype you are before purchasing and only using on greasy skin, apply a small amount to problem areas using cotton wool only, as tissues absorb the product to quickly and you will waste alot of the product. The product has the usual strong smelling fragrance of medicated skincare but not too overpowering. I would also reccomend that you use a rally good moisturiser after this product to re-hydrate your skin (one with glycerin...

GENERAL Turkish Wine

Advantages: Better than Greek wine
Disadvantages: Four times more expensive than similar french table wine.

...Having made a hash of slotting my two last reviews into the right category, I found this no easier. I just want to talk about wine in Turkey - in general - and if you are contemplating a holiday there for the first time - what you might expect to buy. Firstly I went to Bodrum on a sailing holiday in October 2006 and had a fantastic holiday, sailing out of Bodrum, which is absolutely gorgeous - a gem in fact, with such friendly people. I actually didn't want to go, having worked in Turkey near the Iraq border twice before.How wise I was not to refuse to go (which was on my mind) "Toursit" Turkey is like that however, but wine is not available in general off the beaten track. If you are travelling by car or by boat - stock up when you get the chance!! The Turks have been making wine like forever. It is not a new tourist gimmick...

Review of General: Turkey

THE GENERAL (1926 )

Advantages: Very funny / Visually stunning / Extremely authentic looking.
Disadvantages: None

...'The General ' is widely considered Buster Keatons finest film . The story is based on reminiscences of the Civil War, William Pittengers ' 'The Great Locomotive Chase' in which the author, a northern soldier, recalls a daring raid which he had taken part in. in 1862. The story obviously had great attraction to Keaton;of a band of soldiers disguised as southerners making there way from Tenessee into Atlanta to sieze a train while it's passengers were still at breakfast.The object being to run the train to Chattanooga where they would join forces with the union troops.along the way burning bridges and severing communications en-route,but despite delays, were overtaken , upon almost reaching there destination, by another borrowed locomotive which forced them to give up there prize.The men being apprehended and some, later, being...

Review of The General (Silent) (DVD)

Harlow in general.... Jeremy Kyle-esque?

Advantages: Lots of shops, some good bars & lots of nice takeaways here.
Disadvantages: Some of the people are just atrocious.

...I have lived in Harlow on and off for around 7 years now and have seen quite a few changes over time. Harlow has a few main areas such as The Stow, Staple Tye, Potter Street, Old Harlow & the main town centre. Each place has it's own shops, pubs etc and generally if you ask someone in Harlow where they come from it'll be "The Stow" or "near Potter St" rather than "blah blah street". There are two main shopping areas in the Town Centre and these are the Harvey Centre & The Water Gardens both within two or three minutes walk of each other and hosting a variety of bars, cafes, restaurants etc and some of the big stores such as Primark, Next, M&S, Top Shop, Jane Norman, JD Sports, Burtons, etc and there are also Supermarkets in the form of Tesco & Asda. There are lots of stores to visit here and you can probably find pretty much...
