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...

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

...I've just finished my first year at Liverpool University, and so I've decided to write a few reviews of my time there. Over the past year I've experienced a bit of the course, the highs and lows of exams, relationships, friendships and of course Nights Out On The Town! First things first, one of my highlights of this year has been the LMSS, The Liverpool Medical Students Society, which you can't fail to get involved in somehow or another as a medical student at Liverpool. To people studying medicine, or who have studied medicine at Liverpool Uni, most of this review may be common knowledge to you. To anyone planning to come to Liverpool, I hope this gives you a vague idea of what to expect. And to anyone else who is merely curious about what we Medics get up to, I hope this gives you some interesting insight. Either way, feel free to...

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

...The Oxford University Press is know for the wide and eclectic range of the books that it publishes. Another example of such an interesting work id the Oxford Dictionary of Medical Quotations. What is this Oxford Dictionary of Medical Quotations about? It is a dictionary about? medical quotations. (NO?! Really? Yes, another one of Martin's stating the bloomin' obvious reviews!) But seriously, what IS this book about? It is a collection of quotations about medical matters, medicines, treatments, ailments, etc. etc. Some of them are written by doctors and other medical men and women, whilst others are from writers, humorists, politicians, rulers and patients. Some of the quotations selected by editor and compiler Peter McDonald are a little eccentric. For example, the quote from a Joe Orton play, Entertaining Mr Sloane: "It...

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...

Medical words for everyone!

Advantages: Really easy to read, layout is excellent.
Disadvantages: Like it says in the title - concise. Sometimes not enough detail.

...When i joined medical school i was given this dictionary for free by the Medical Defense Union, and i've found it more useful that many of my books which cost £40! The recommended retail price is £11.99, and that would be money well spent! I have the third edition, which claims to have nearly 11,000 entries of which over 500 are new for this edition. The entries are really easy to locate, and the entry name is written in red, distinguishing it from the rest of the text. I sometimes find with dictionaries that it's really hard to look at a page and find the word you want, but with this one, the colour really stands out. So far in my medical teaching (i'm a second year medical student) I've found that nearly every word i've wanted to look up has been in here. The description in each entry is easy to read and a good summary...

Medical Jokes

Advantages: some are funny
Disadvantages: some are groans!

...Some of my favourite medical related jokes - appologies in advance for the groaners in there!!! ************************************************************************* Benefits of having Alzheimer's disease - You never have to watch reruns on television. - You are always meeting new people. - You don't have to remember the whines and complaints of your spouse. - You can hide your own Easter eggs. ************************************************************************* As the doctor completed an examination of the patient, he said, "I can't find a cause for your complaint. Frankly, I think it's due to drinking." "In that case," said the patient, "I'll come back when you're sober" ************************************************************************* Doctor: I have some bad news and some very bad news. Patient...
