I am a student, and have no medical care, but really need to get diagnosed for stuff. My health is getting worse in some areas, but I can’t do nothing about it, cuz I’m broke and doctors are expensive and there is no one I can turn to…
An 86 year old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk…. The Receptionist said, ‘Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?’
‘There’s something wrong with *******’, he replied.
The receptionist became irritated and said, ‘You shouldn’t come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that.’
‘Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you,’ he said.
The Receptionist replied; ‘Now you’ve caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something, and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private.’
The man replied, ‘You shouldn’t ask people questions in a room full of strangers, if the answer could embarrass anyone.’ The man walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.
The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, ‘Yes??’ ‘There’s something wrong with my ear’, he stated.
The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. ‘And what is wrong with your ear, Sir??’
‘I can’t piss out of it,’ he replied. The waiting room erupted in laughter.
I just need an average. I’m doing a project for my health class on the costs of having a baby.
I was raped when I was 11 and I’m currently 16. If a doctor examined my private parts, could she tell if I had been raped?
Is there any low cost medical insurance I can get during that 90day period? Not Cobra they are wayyyyy to expensive, We are a family of 5 and I am about 15 weeks pregnant! Thanks for your help
My reasons:
1) Medical expenses are the #1 cause of financial bankruptcy.
2) Poor people without insurance go to Emergency Rooms, where, by law, they cannot be denyed treatment. This is ultimately payed by taxpayers, and is more expensive.
3) The burden of health care shouldn’t be on employers.
Why do you think America should have universal health care coverage?

Hi there,
I have applied for a EEA1 form as a full time student. In order to provide my comprehsive sickness insurance, I have sent my National Insurance Number Card as well as my NHS medical card. Unfortunately, all my documents were sent back to me with a note that I need to provide a FULL MEDICAL INSURANCE.
Can anybody help with that, please? What do they want now?
Thanks a lot.
Why would the Democrats running for office advocate universal health care which is government run, when they can not even properly fund the government run VA?
As bad as the VA presently is, if somehow universal health care is elected in 2008, the VA will be worst than it was 20 years ago. Most local hospitals and medical clinics will be even worst off, because the total population of all Veterans is such a small minority of the total population in the US and the government still will not give us proper funding for medical care.

Our last secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson, who did nothing for us veterans—-whom I have too say; has left the VA with much more respect than all of us veterans even receive at the VA…
Or do you have to stand there naked in front of the doctor and urinate into a beaker?
I’m asking because I have to have an initial medical exam on my assessment day upon joining the Army.
