My daughter was born a year and a half ago by c section, we both contracted MRSA, my husband has reoccurring strep type throat infections, and both my children get these also, but I don't, my doctor just hands out antibiotics when they are ill, and no one seems to be trying to get to the bottom of it all. Could I be a carrier of strep and is this why my family are always getting ill? do you think my husband needs tonsils out, I just need someone to try and put all the pieces of our jigsaw together and tell me why my kids are constantly getting ill? please please help! |

MRSA is very resistant to ordinary antibiotics. It is entirely possible that your whole family has it and it simply keeps recurring. The antibiotics they're getting may be knocking the infection down, but it doesn't sound as if it's being cured. You all need to get to the same doctor and have cultures taken for MRSA. Once confirmed, you need to be treated for MRSA rather than ordinary strep. Removing you husband's tonsils won't solve the problem if it's MRSA. This infection can localize in multiple parts of the body. It requires a powerful systemic antibiotic (possibly even intravenous) and a stringent course of treatment. Follow instructions EXACTLY if you want to get rid of it. In the meantime, all of you should avoid contact with anyone who might have a compromised immune system (elderly, ill, etc.) or you could easily share it. Wash your hands often, but don't use antibacterial soap. Some of these are actually creating resistant strains of microbes. Comments :  am i able to see someone at hospital for info on this, my doctor and i do not have a very good relationship, as many times during my treatment for mrsa they got swabs wrong and mixed up, and hey laughed at me when i told them i thought i had mrsa in the first place!

If someone has full power of attorney for there father, who is in an old folks home, can he sell his fathers house, and keep the money, and money already in his fathers account, while his father is still living? |
| Question found in Legal Other |
|
|
You can dispose of his property (convert to cash), etc., but you cannot KEEP the proceeds, they belong to him. With power of attorney, you can spend his money, but only for his best interests. If you start keeping some, be prepared to account for how much and on what basis. Power of attorney gives you authority, but it does not relieve you of accountability. Comments : Thank you that answers my question,but leads to another.Who keeps accont and how'?

My mother had the uncanny ability to float on water. She would often swim out into the deep water of a lake (or any body of fresh water), turn over on her back and float motionlessly for an hour or longer. No one else in our family has inherited this ability to float endlessly above the surface without moving our arms or legs; nor do I recall ever meeting another person with this ability. Can someone explain this anomaly? |
| Question found in Miscellaneous |
|
|
This is not uncanny. I see people doing this all the time. Simply lie on your back in the water and relax. Chances are 80% that you will float unless you exhale. Normal breathing should keep you afloat. |

I bought a car recently. I just found out that the heater does not work. It is an 800.00 part that needs replaced. Of course the part is not covered in my warranty. The dealership will not even return my calls. What can I do? |
| Question found in Legal Other |
|
|
Take a look at your purchase paperwork. If you see the words "AS IS", you own a car with a broken heater. It is up to you to verify the vehicle's condition. If you accept the vehicle, you take it "AS IS", warts and all. If it falls apart into a heap of scrap before you can get in and drive it, you own a heap of scrap. If, however, the purchase included a warranty that would cover the problem you're having, that is a different matter. If the dealer won't return your calls, you should make a personal appearance. Take a friend and a notepad. |

Does light bounced back from a mirror loose energy? |
| Question found in Physics |
|
|
Assuming "white light" (full spectrum), some energy will be lost. What kind and how much will depend upon the nature of the mirror. Mirrors tend to be more efficient reflectors than other substances. However, some infrared energy will be absorbed (heat) and other wavelengths may be scattered internally, depending upon the nature of the reflective surface and how the mirror is constructed. The two primary types of mirrors are front-silvered and rear-silvered. A front-silvered mirror has the reflective material is on the outer surface of the mirror. These are extremely delicate, but much better reflectors than rear-silvered mirrors. Most reflective telescopes have front-silvered mirrors to reflect as much available full spectrum light as possible. A rear-silvered mirror has the reflective material on the rear surface, usually glass. These are much less delicate and more suitable for ordinary use. These only need to reflect visible light in detail sufficient to be detectable by the human eye. An example would be your bathroom mirror. Front silvering places the primary reflective surface as the first surface contacted by the light. It reflects the most, but some energy will be lost as heat (absorbed infrared wavelengths) and other wavelengths may be scattered or absorbed. Rear-silvering introduces the properties of the substrate, usually glass. The light must pass through the glass twice. Once upon initial contact and again after reflection off the the silvering on the back of the glass. The properties of the glass will determine how much energy might be absorbed as heat or various wavelengths absorbed or scattered. These are much less efficient, but far more tolerant of physical contact. There is no perfect reflector. Measurable energy will be lost in any event. |

Why is candy bad for you? |
| Question found in Food And Drink In General |
|
|
Candy isn't necessarily bad for you unless you have a health condition that restricts sugars (e.g.: diabetes). An occasional treat is not normally harmful if you take care of your teeth properly. Large amounts can contribute to weight gain, tooth decay and other health problems. |

If a 17 year old female has had to have one ovary and fallopian tube removed, what does this mean about her future of conceiving children? |
