Question 1

hey docs, should lobotomies be brought back?

Accepted Answer

Lobotomies: Lobotomies are been out of favor for several decades but having said that there might be a rare case that might respond to this form of treatment. The vast majority of patients are now treated with various medications.

Question 2

hey doc why do,i feel a pain on d right side of my waise?

Accepted Answer

More information: I'm sorry, without more information than having pain on your right waist, I really cannot offer much in terms of possible diagnoses. It could range anywhere from being a bone pain, a skin disturbance, an issue with your intestine, a musculoskeletal issue, or more. Please consider being properly evaluated by your primary care doctor. Be well!

Question 3

hey docs!
i mostly remain warmer than everyone. why is that so??

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It may be just a part of the natural variation in the physiology of people. If you have lost weight, then it may be hyperthyroidism. If you are maintaining your weight and your heart rate is regular, just chalk it up to your warm personality.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine

Question 4

hey docs, just wanted to know if i could wear my orthotics to bed?

Accepted Answer

Why?: You could if you tape them to your feet. Works well if you sleep walk without shoes.....Honestly, orthotics are functional. If you have no function, don't need them.

Question 5

hey docs, i am wondering if i have narcolepsy, what will i need to check?

Accepted Answer

See below: It is a clinical diagnosis, although sometimes lab tests can help. If you are having excessive daytime sleepiness, hallucinations when waking up or falling asleep, cataplexy (episode of muscle weakness without loss of awareness that is usually triggered by emotions), and/or sleep paralysis or even other symptoms, it can be narcolepsy. So if you do, see a sleep doctor to be evaluated ; treated.

Question 6

hey docs, what herbs can treat a rattle snake and cobra bite?

Accepted Answer

Would not: rely on herbs to treat either rattler or cobra bites.

Question 7

hey docs, what helps with whiplash pain?

Accepted Answer

Rest, NSAIDs: Pain from whiplash is generally due to tension and strain of the muscles in the neck. This type of pain can be relieved with rest which gives time for the muscles to recover. NSAIDs like Motrin, Aleve or Tylenol (acetaminophen) can help with muscle pain as well. In more severe cases, consulting with a physical therapist can be useful. Therapists can prescribe exercises and use other treatments like E-stim to help

Question 8

hey docs, what help drives up a woman's libido?

Accepted Answer

Libido increase?: A willing, open, communicative partner who is less demanding and more understanding of what the other person's needs are. Affection versus expectation. Fondness versus fondling. A good balance of these. And, being aware of one's own emotions and impatience.

Question 9

hey docs, what household objects can i use for masturbation?

Accepted Answer

Be careful: Even if the thrill of danger is a turn-on for you, don't do anything that might result in your getting electrocuted, cut, or choked to death. As a pathologist, i see this stuff occasionally. Always play safe. Clean everything up afterwards especially if it's something that others will use as well.

Question 10

hey docs, what is the difference between depression and despair?

Accepted Answer

Some differences: Despair is an experience most humans have from time to time in their lives. It may involve relationships, work, finances, or other situations -- and often lifts when circumstances change. When it does not remit, and even deepens and becomes chronic and overwhelming, it tips into the clinical arena -- and may become depression requiring professional treatment.  http://tinyurl.com/n5gov9c.
