Question 1

law enforcement has to provide name and badge number if asked. if a patient asks the doctor to provide his/her license information, are they required to tell you? weird question i know, but i have encountered a confirmed unlicensed physician?

Accepted Answer

: Majority of docs introduce themselves when they meet new patients and their families. There is no other license information they can provide, some may be board certified, others may not, it is illegal to practice without a state license. You can easily find license information accessing the medical state board on line and searching for respective name.

Question 2

Question 3

my bottom number is over 95 for my bp?

Accepted Answer

Mildly high: Diastolic pressure 90 or less is acceptable/normal pressure for healthy folks. 91-100 is mildly high. 101-110 is moderate and 111 and above is definitely more and more worrisome. If this is new, i would have it rechecked by your doc in couple of weeks to confirm. Keeping ideal body wt, no added-salt diet, and regular aerobic exercises are  highly remommended, even for normal BP level. Good luck.

Question 9

what number of different disabilities are there?

Accepted Answer

Can't calculate them: Disability us more than just an injury or loss of function of a body part it has to do with your occupation and your ability to be retrained. As an example if you lose you 5th finger you would not be disabled if you drive a truck but you could be if you were a concert pianist. If you could train the pianist to play the drums you would no longer be disabled. Disability is a legal not medical term.
