No supplement needed: People who sell height-growth supplements just want your money. Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems, hormone deficiencies, or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person or a doctor can do to increase height.

someone in my family is doing prescription fraud. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Intervention: You can't accept responsibility for another person's behavior, but if this is affecting you, it's your business. Get help from a professional. All the rest of the immediate family members will need to go along with this. Confront the person, and nobody backs down. If the fraudster is also an important source of the family's income, things are even more difficult. Talk with wise people & good luck.

can a gynecologist claim under 0146-emergency unplanned consultation if a appointment was made during normal hours, the appointment was pre-booked and definitely not an emergency? if not should i contact the fraud hotline ?

Accepted Answer

Hard to guess: Probably depends on details such as:  clerical error vs. intentionally claiming that code, the amount of time between the pre-booking and the appointment time, why the doctor felt the visit was emergent (regardless of whether or not others felt it was not emergent), whether or not there is a pattern of this issue with this particular doctor or clinic, etc...

Question 9

i just saw online my psychiatrist was disciplined 30 grand for addiction fraud. he is still practicing. do i continue seeing him or find someone else?

Accepted Answer

Your decision, but: You may want to ask him the status of his medical license, and think about how you feel about his situatioon. It's difficult to know how to feel about your doctor violating the law.  If you don't feel comfortable continuing with him then, yes, seek someone else for treatment. Often when psychiatrists are disciplined with a fine, they are still allowed to practice, but are supervised closely.
