Barry,
DS> The data was obtained from the WebMD website, and I give credit
DS> to such in the monthly summary posting. It's like doing a term
DS> paper, and giving the needed citations/credit to it. I will add
DS> this to the batchfiles for it.
BM> That might work. ...
I also note that "this information is NOT meant to replace visits
with your primary care physician, or with the associated specialist.
Yet, many folks don't want to set foot inside a doctor's office...mainly because
they don't want to be seen naked (never mind the medical bills). However, the
BEST time to go to the doctor is when one "feels healthy".
Many diseases have no symptoms in their early stages.
BM> I don't know: that paragraph referenced downloading 'personal, non-
BM> commercial use' but I couldn't find anything allowing nor disallowing
BM> redistribution. There is a 'fair use' copyright clause (in Copyright
BM> Law) but this seems to overstep, or at least eventually it would. As
BM> much as I'd like to see the material here I'm thinking no because of
BM> eventual legal issues for ILink. If you or someone else can provide
BM> reference to the contrary I would allow -- some lists/posts have a
BM> 'freely distributable' statement.
OK, I won't do it then. It's in the local message board, but it's
restricted to verified users in good standing, who are at least 18
years of age. Years ago, there were 2 separate areas on here...one
for the men (The Barber Shop) and for the ladies (The Beauty Shop),
where those of a certain gender could discuss certain things. I did
the men's area, and my late wife did the ladies area.
BM> Agree, though we're on the side of "it's OK when necesssary". There
BM> are some religious customs which contradict medical -- guess 'examinations'
BM> would be a suitable word here. Student friend from New Jersey refused to
BM> remove a metal religious necklace during a cervical X-ray - got into an
BM> arguement with the radiologist. Another student friend was Mormon and wore
BM> whatever the one-piece underwear is called; created problems for physical
BM> examinations.
Well, to me, if it's going to help me keep good health, I'll do it.
Not to turn this into a religious debate, while wearing a mask to protect
from COVID-19 is NOT "the mark of the beast" of Revelation 13, it shows
how easily people will give up their freedom for "peace and safety". Yet,
there were other plagues throughout history...even around the time of
World War I...and they didn't go as ballistic as they have with COVID-19.
DS> I personally would rather have the females working over my
DS> groin, buttocks, and elsewhere...not because I want a cheap
DS> thrill (they aren't getting one), but they tend to be gentler
DS> than their male counterparts.
BM> I can think of a few - umm - remarks but I don't dare post 'em!
Sort of like the actual comments from folks undergoing colonoscopies;
such as:
1) Would you tell my wife that my head is not up there??
2) In Arkansas, we're now legally married. <G>
3) Did you find Amelia Earhart yet??
4) If it doesn't fit, you must acquit. :P
DS> In short, if you're not proactive on your health, you're sure
DS> to be sorry.
BM> Seems a lot of people don't know a thing, or figure popping a pill will
BM> solve. Some run to the doctor at the sign of a hangnail while others
BM> will 'tough out' a kidney stone or heart attack.
I'll agree that everyone has different pain tolerance levels. If it's
a 3 or below, I'll tough it out...but any more than that, it's time for
a pill, or a trip to the ER.
BM> As much as I tend not liking to go to various doctors I do think it is
BM> a good thing to have the 6-month or yearly check-up. I see and deal
BM> with myself every day; the doctor every few months. Something slowly
BM> evolving may be unnoticed by me because I observe me constantly whereas the
BM> doctor see a 'snapshot' over a long period of time.
This is true. Plus, I felt better knowing that while I may have
stretched that hernia surgery mesh deal from the coughing and
sneezing attack, it was "firmly in place". Basically, better to be
safe than sorry.
