This is a severe and resistant bacterial infection which usually requires at least 2 different antibiotics to treat. Symptoms would be severe skin heat, redness, swelling, pain and/or oozing foul pus.

Question 3

what can we do about a hostile family member?

Accepted Answer

Consider all options: I'm going to assume that you are not forced to live with this individual. Frank talk is often best. Some people can change if approached tactfully & kindly. If this is a person who's unable to follow a moral code or consider the feelings of others, it's about harm reduction. Families do best when people teach instead of criticize and remember that relationships are more important than being right.

Question 4

how can i cope with death of a family member?

Accepted Answer

You decide: Some people have confidence in a faith tradition, &/or have had or trust others accounts of paranormal experiences that give hope of survival. Others resolve to be brave, accept mortality, remember the good times, engage in customary mourning rituals, and understand that the attacks of grief will feel like blows to the soul but will become less with time. Talk to your friends.

Question 5

what is the definition or description of: marker?

Accepted Answer

Protein or enzyme: A "marker" is a protein or enzyme that can represent a disease process. Some markers are specific for a particular disease, while others are less specific.

Question 6

can you replace my normal dr if i become a member?

Accepted Answer

Replace your dr: You should keep your normal doctor we are here to help.  We are available to feel in gaps when you can't get to your MD. But to be able to see your physician and be examined and tested in person is invaluable.

Question 7

how can i avoid catching a cold from a family member?

Accepted Answer

Avoidance: Keep your hands well washed. Use hand sanitizers to kill germs. Stay away from people who are ill. Wash your hands before touching your mouth, eyes or nose. Elect to use paper towels instead of shared cloth towels. Keep surfaces in your home disinfected. Remind your family member to cough into his or her arm or tissues.

Question 8

what can i do to preserve the meager vision i have left?

Accepted Answer

Regular eye exam: I am guessing that you have lost vision due to some disease or inherited problem of your eyes.  Some therapy can help prevent further loss in these circumstances.  You need to get regular evaluations by an ophthalmologist (not an optometrists) for severe vision loss.  There you can get good diagnosis and treatment.

Question 9

what must i do if a family member has a problem gambler?

Accepted Answer

They need help: They need help. Start with their primary care provider.

Question 10

how do i detatch an adult family member from a video game?

Accepted Answer

Possible addiction: Video games can be very compelling to the point of addiction.  I am guessing that the adult in question does this frequently and is reluctant to leave the game.  The ability to get this person to stop depends upon your place in the household pecking order.  If you are higher you can probably be successfully verbally.  It will require more force of will if you are lower on the ladder.
