Doc, how are your symptoms now without Bob in the picture ancing:

Bob was like one of those annoying kids who like to pretend to be taking movies of you when you go about your daily business. One of those people you can't ignore because they are in-your-face no matter what you do. But I find large doses of really good quality rum helps.

That and a couple of really cute Asian ladies.

No donkeys, of course. That's his area of specialization.

 

[oldguyzer]

Is this your new method of administering drugs doc? :biggrin2:

Open wide and say "Ahhhhh.....".

No, not your mouth....

I'm a (retired) oncologist but always follow the research. We've known for a decade that low-dose aspirin helps prevent heart disease and some types of cancer in men, but the latest round of research (first reported in March 2013 and now confirmed) shows women who take aspirin (high or low dose) have a much lower chance of melanoma (skin cancer). Of course, staying out of the sun is a good idea, too. Over a 12-year research program, melanoma incidences dropped 21% in US women.

Aspirin is an NSAID, and helps prevent inflamation, which is thought to be the key to the melanoma spreading.

I think its wonderful that you've started this thread to share your expertise Guyzer


My mother had suffered a sudden and unexpected heart attack this summer (first time) and what I found interesting was that her symptoms (at onset), as she described them to me, were more like a severe case of heartburn/indigestion, then the seemingly cliche "clutching of the heart" type symptoms.

It was very scarey to have this happen. When the first bout of "heart burn" hit I had her lay down; but when the second came I called 911, only to find out that she was in fact having a heart attack. She flat lined in hospital (thank god she was there); but suffered no 'long term' damage from the arrest because she was tended to instantly and it was reported the arrest only lasted under a minute.

She's now on medication and being monitored for "stress", etc; but I wonder if I can ask if this kind of "heart burn" symptom is something typical, and if there are any pre "heart burn like" symptoms which I can watch for, to ensure she is tended to immediately should she have another attack in future?

First off, happy to help folks here. There's a lot of things people are too embarassed to ask their quack, and an anonymous forum gives them the chance to do so. Second, there's a lot of misinformation out there that need correcting. Third, I think of it as a professional service, even though I am not in the field any more, to provide knowledge and information to those who ask.

"Heart attack" is one of those terms that means so many different things, it's difficult to give simple answers (much like the word "cancer" means any cell mutation, "heart attack" refers to anything affecting the cardiac muscles). Heart attacks and strokes (two different things) can range from very minor to very serious, and the symptoms of the different issues vary considerably. The "numb feeling in your arm" type of advice applies for some types, but only a small number. Without more information it's impossible for me to know for sure what hit your mother, but you did the right thing. Any time you get a not-normal feeling in your body, especially related to breathing or circulation, have the person lay down (to take the load off the heart) and call 911. The 911 folks will not get upset if you call them over something innocuous like an upset stomach if you genuinely think something is going on. It's not worth the risk. As you pointed out, if your mother had not been in a hospital or ambulance, chances of her surviving would have been minimal. Better safe than sorry.

As for cause, I really can't guess based on what you've written, but chances are it was a heart muscle abnormality and not a clot or anything like that. I'm sure the local doctors gave some good advice as to what to do if the feeling returns (call 911!), and if they felt some medication was called for, they would have said so. Some people get low-dose aspirin recommended after any heart problem, as research a few years ago showed low-dose (<100mg a day) prevented second occurences, but latest research is questioning whether it really has any effect. Still, I don't see harm in low dose aspirin every day, unless the patient has thinned blood (aspirin can cause things like nose bleeds, and skin cuts that don't clot as quickly, as aspirin is actually a blood diuretic or blood thinner).

Best advice I can give is go with your mom to her doctor and explain what happened, and ask what she can do to prevent a recurrence, and what you both should watch for. Keep in mind some people (like my mom) are stubborn as heck and won't listen anyway, but at least you know what to watch and listen for (on the phone, maybe). The more information you have, the faster you'll react. And if in doubt, call 911. That's what they are there for.

Wow:SayWhat?: would have never known. I wish I knew you when my dad was alive, his oncologist was an idiot. My father died of lung cancer, when he began to have trouble breathing his oncologist(who knew he had lung cancer) suggested the issue could be because of a blockage in his leg, which he didn't have??? and put him through stupid and unnecessary tests and prescribed suppositories and other needless meds! The poor man suffered terribly and needlessly, my biggest reason for now supporting assisted suicide.
Ty for the aspirin info

oldguyzer, as a physician, do you support 'assisted suicide'?

Louis, WTF, he's going to poison me with Papa's slop.....stop giving him ideas!!!

Now , my question for the resident quack!

This morning during my manscaping ritual I was bent over in-front of my full length mirror shaving my arse. The feel of the scraping of the whip cream under the blade, 3 blades that is IS very enjoyable. My problem is I noticed 2 pink olive like nodules sticking out of my arse!

My question is simple....Preparation H or Ansul??

GOD DAMMIT HURRY I CAN'T SIT DOWN!!!!:grrrrrr:

 

[MisterSpicyChocolate]

K Doc, I got a Couple Qs

it is a colouration one..........on some days my ManTits, the areolas and nips to be precise...........they are a milk chocolatey colour..........but when they muscle up and I work out, they turn Black

the same goes for my Love Muscle, My penis is somedays just a milk chocolate colour, but some days I whip it out and it is BLACK, I mean Black like an afro penis you'd see in porn.

My nuts some days have a reddish tinge..........and guess what..............Really Guess what...........Same Deal as the others Doc!

What is the diagnosis prognosis?

Many doctors are idiots. Sorry, but it's true.
