Question 1

would having a simian line indicate something bad?

Accepted Answer

Palm Reading: I am not a palm reader.  Reportedly a   simian line in the  deep palm connotates poorly controlled emotions  and one  higher in the hand is believed to be consistent with a personality in which intellect dominates. I can not comment on the validity of these beliefs as this is not something that is taught in western medicine.

Question 2

i think my daughter have a behavioral issues and i think its related to her simian line on the palm on her hands. i research about this but i want som?

Accepted Answer

Simian crease: 10% of the normal population has simian crease. This is a finding in 50% of patients with Down's Syndrome. Otherwise, it is clinically insignificant. I am quite sure it is not causing the behavioral issues in your daughter.

Question 3

what is a simian crease/line?

Accepted Answer

Single palmar crease: Simian crease is a single line that goes across one's palm without a break in the crease or line. In some people this finding can be associated with down syndrome.

Question 4

what is simian crease?

Accepted Answer

Palm lines: Most folks have two lines across the palm joining the side below the little finger with the space between the thumb and index finger. If only one is present, as in some monkeys ("simians") & in 1% of normal folks, it's a tip-off that the person may have another birth defect, especially trisomy 21, but ultimately it's of no use as the other defects will be obvious.

Question 5

what exactly is simian immuno deficiency virus?

Accepted Answer

SIV: This is the virus which produces disease in chimps and other simians and is presumed to be the precursor to HIV by mutation.  The virus got into humans through butchers cutting their hands while preparing monkeys and other simians for market, or by other routes.

Question 6

am i dying?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, we are all in the process of dying, only the rate of change is unknown

Question 7

am i dying?

Accepted Answer

We all are: A 3-word question with no details... well, life is short on Earth, regardless of whether a person lives 3 days, 3000 days, or 30,000 days. It is not length of one's life that matters, but the quality of the life lived. The goal is not to live a long life, but to live a good life. Even if a person makes it all the way to age 82, that's only 30,000 days.

Question 8

im a nurse?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms:  Because you are a medical care provider, it is especially important for you to quarantine and get tested before interacting with patients. COVID 19 infection is possible. Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these sx’s: temp of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell.

Question 9

i have cold?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Based upon the information you&#x27;ve given, one could conclude
that indeed you have a cold because, why would someone pose the question if they were not experiencing symptoms commonly associated with a cold.  On the other hand, one could argue, &quot;how can you conclude a person has a cold when they haven&#x27;t divulged any of their symptoms!&quot;  so, help us by providing a few details.

Question 10

am i dying ?

Accepted Answer

I don't know: I don't know, john.  Technically, every person who is alive will die someday, yes.  But unless you have been diagnosed with some untreatable illness, then no, you are not actively dying.
If this is something you worry about a lot, mention it to one of your parents, a close adult friend, or a school counselor.  A lot of people have these kinds of worries and you can get help to not worry so much.
