Hi a registered nurse here from the Philippines. I just want a clarification regarding intravenous access on the abdominal wall vein. We have this patient who’s veins on upper and lower extremities are no longer accessible due to multiple peripheral insertion. The patient needed intravenous access for her IV meds. Abdominal wall vein was used as an access. Is it allowed for a nurse to access an intravenous site on the abdominal wall vein? What are the complications of abdominal intravenous access? Thank you. Your response is highly appreciated.

Hello, I’m 23yo male, I had a pain in my neck started since 2013, the pain is medium to High. 24/7 till today, I had a TD scan and a MRI scan both results stated that I have a small herniated disk C5C6 does not touch the main nerve very much, other than this structure is well n fine. all doctors told me that it’s nothing serious and shouldn’t be a problem at all. But the pain is incredible , I can’t work, I can’t practice sport anymore, I can’t even walk!! I have to drive my way to destinations,
PS: I have a small scoliosis probably 4or 5degrees, sometimes it hurt a little sometimes it doesn’t .
What is wrong with me?! Does the MRI is not able to shows nerves?, do I have nerves problem?
I am a 57 year old female who has had annual mammograms since 40. On about 5 occasions I have been called back for a diagnostic mammogram and or sonogram. Everything at that point had been normal. This year I was called back to have a sonogram in my right breast after having a 3d mammogram. I have no palpable masses. My Dr. went ahead and ordered a bilateral sonogram. Upon receiving my results I was told that I need a biopsy in my left breast; the one that they had not seen anything on the 3d mammogram and my right breast was fine. I’m confused. If my Dr. Had not ordered the bilateral, would I have been given the all clear? Should I be having sonogram with my annual mammograms every year? Of course I’m having biopsy.
I’m very pro active with my healthcare.
Hi. I am a 38 female school teacher who has a 6 year old boy in my class with diagnosed Cytomegalovirus (CMV) virus. I wish to get pregnant in the very near future but am afraid to do so while this child is in my care as I have heard that it can lead to severe disabilities in the unborn child. Can you please tell me what you recommend I do as a doctor? Should I avoid trying to get pregnant as long as this child is in my care?
I’m 20 and have levels of estradiol and progesterone below the level of detection while levels of FSH, prolactin, thyroid hormones and haematology are normal. I also have severe neurological symptoms like permanent exhaustion, worsening memory, lack of concentration, anxiety and depression. It also involves increased heart rate (but low blood pressure), hot and cold flashes, hair loss and lack of menstruation (for 6 months). I don’t know what to do and where to start because I haven’t received any sensible diagnosis yet and seeing a specialist requires queuing – at the moment i cannot function normally and I would be really grateful for any suggestions, even guesses.
I am 27 years old female.

With this comment: mild leukopenia. relative lymphocytosis with few reactive lymphocytes.
So please I want to know what does it means and do I have to make any further tests?
