Question 1

Sorry to sound skeptical and maybe ignorant but.. how reliable are the opinions of 10 doctors on an issue if they all agree to a very similar extent?

Accepted Answer

The way Health Tap is set up is so that doctors can see other doctors' responses to questions.  They can either agree and/or put in their own response.  Your likelihood of getting ten doctors to review an issue of concern is rather challenging in this day and age of medicine.  Ideally it would be optimal if doctors would regularly collaborate on the the care of patients.  Hope this is helpful.

Question 2

Would one hit of weed actually ease my extreme ibs? i've never smoked it nor do i really want to but i'm very ignorant about medicine.

Accepted Answer

The only indication for medical use of THC is for appetite stimulation in patients suffering from anorexia related to metastatic cancer. The drug is called dronabinol. How do you know you have IBS? Who told you that? Don't use some wastebasket diagnosis that some poor excuse for a doctor gave you as an excuse to try street drugs or to get high.

Question 3

Are clove cigars just as harmful as a regular pack of cigarettes? my fianc doesn't seem to think so but i think he is ignorant.

Accepted Answer

Studied that well, but probably just as harmful.

Question 4

As i stated i'm going on 10 yrs in and out of the hospital bcuz i was ignorant to the fact that i was damaging my lungs. please don't judge me. i need help and am ready to throw everything i have in the toilet and start methadone is this a good start?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, talk to your doc about finding resources in the community. Either methadone or Suboxone are used in the maintenance treatment of opiate addiction. However the most important changes involve lifestyle and entourage and many times relocation helps. You are on the right path.

Question 5

I injured (sprained) my left wrist, elbow and shoulder 4 weeks ago by falling off my pushbike. how long do you think ignorant could take for me to be ?

Accepted Answer

I assume you wonder how long the sprains last - which is typically 6-12 weeks, but could be more or less depending if you reinjure yourself due to overuse. After you heal, you will want to gradually build up your muscles with gentle range of motion stretches and exercises.

Question 6

Hi... this may sound ignorant, but when i was half asleep i tried to scratch my ear. i accidentally did it too firmly and now my ear hurts. when i ?

Accepted Answer

If you have broken the skin, then soap and water perhaps followed by some peroxide is in order.

Question 7

I'm a new cleaner and yest. i cleaned a home with lots of black mold and mildew. i (being v ignorant) scrubbed and cleaned a bunch of mold on walls, tubs with no face mask. today i found out i'm pregnant. i am so worried. will/can this hurt the baby?

Accepted Answer

Mold may result in an allergic reaction and other symptoms. If you experience, shortness of breath, cough or respiratory symptoms, please seek medical attention. Discuss rinsing nasal passages with nasal saline. The pregnancy is unlikely to be affected by this one time exposure. Avoid contact with smoke and chemicals, and please see your OB.

Question 8

Why isn't hpv included in a routine std test or pap? so many people have it and think they are std free because they are ignorant about it.

Accepted Answer

Testing IS done with pap smears. However, getting genital HPV is normal, expected, and unavoidable except by those who choose a lifetime of celibacy. Infections cannot be treated, and knowing someone is infected has no benefit for the patient or his/her sex partners. Precautions are necessary to prevent bad outcomes, including immunization and pap smears (or HPV testing) after age 25 or 30.

Question 9

Face burns...i ignorantly used a foot spa device on face.  it is used to smooth feet.  it's  my face is now red and bruised, the spa device normally used for feet is electric and it has different attachments that are like emory boards for the feet.  i kno

Accepted Answer

I might suggest using some squalene oil form the health food store to keep the moisture in the skin and allow the healing to occur. I would stop all abrasive skin cleansers and no buff puff use until totally healed. Arnica montana tablets from the health food store under the tongue 4 times per day will help wit the bruising too.

Question 10

Is the ph in bottled water imporant?

Accepted Answer

According to the who, there is no health based guidline for ph in drinking water.   The who measures the corrosivity of water by measuring its ph.  The lower the ph,  the more corrosive it is.  The ph of pure water is 7.  Although the who claims that ph usually has no impact on people who drink it, its important in determining the health of the distribution system.
