Question 1

hi i am a pemed student failing my first biology class. should i still pursue medicine? i am good enough to be accepted into medical school?

Accepted Answer

Why are you failing?: Is it because of lack of interest, lack of understanding material, study habits etc. Discuss with the professor and figure out what can be done to improve your situation. If you are truly interested in medicine, then do what ever it takes to try and succeed with an honest effort.

Question 2

partner keeps coughing up white pelmet. sometimes can be hard lumps of phelm?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: Right now, it is hard for me to answer the question because I am not sure what the question is.

If your partner were to see me, I would start with a thorough history and physical examination.  The next step would be some simple lab work and a chest x-ray.

People cough up phlegm for all sorts of reasons, most of them are easily treatable.  But your partner needs to see a doctor.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: not particularly: Baby makes its own insulin starting in early pregnancy. If your blood sugar is higher than normal, it does cross over  &amp; baby puts it away as fat or enlarged organs. If your glucose level is normal, it stays at a normal level in spite of your diet &amp; baby grows normally.

Accepted Answer

: There is open pulmonary tuberculosis and you are not posing any danger to people around you. It does not entirely exclude tuberculosis, just that you are not contagious, if you have it.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Pilodinal cyst: Pilodinal cysts are relatively common and are often found near the coccyx (tailbone). These can cause discomfort, pain, get infected, become a fistula and can lead to more problematic complications. Any general surgeon can take of this problem, usually in the or with no overnight stay required. Some fp's & gp's have also learned to manage these when access to a surgeon is limited or not possible.
