I am self-employed so if anything happens to me on-the-job, it's tough luck, Charlie. I have a couple of friends who seem to take advantage of the Worker Compensation system. It takes them much much longer to heal and recover compared to someone like me who can't afford to miss a day of work. Wouldn't we be better off if there was NO Worker Compensation system at all? Then the "no work, no pay" approach would ensure an equal playing field. 11 weeks 3 days ago 88
Can you tell me what is a "pilon PIP" fracture? Our son is away at college and hurt himself in a skiing accident. He sent us this diagnosis via smart phone but we have no idea what it means. I'm in a panic here trying to get as much information as possible. 11 weeks 3 days ago 117
Is it true everyone living in the north should take vitamin supplements? What if I am very healthy, very active, and participate in outdoor sports activities like golf, tennis, and hiking? How do I know what I really need? 22 weeks 3 days ago 93
I am a college-level athlete (women's basketball). I've started taking some supplements my Mom sent me but I also saw some stuff on the Web that says what I really need is Vitamin D3 (not D2) even if I am young and healthy. I don't want to pollute my body with anything (including vitamins) without knowing they are helping. Do you have any advise on this? 22 weeks 3 days ago 100
I've been thinking about have a PRP injection into my elbow to help heal a bad case of tennis elbow. When I looked on-line I found your Patient Guide to Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment. I work in a lab in a hospital so I know that preparations of this type are not all equal. How do I know I'll be getting the exact right mix for my problem? 26 weeks 4 days ago 127
