hi, i hope u can help,
I’m a 26 yr old male and overweight. for years i have suffered from back pain, it got so bad that i had an operation in July 2009 which was to shave my L4 and L5 discs as they were bulging. unfortunately the operation was not successful and I’m still in pain. i also received a cortisone shot about 2 weeks ago which has had no affect. i regularly do stretching exercises to loosen the lumbar region. i have also tried massage therapy/physio hot/cold patches. nothing seems to work i was thinking about t.e.n.s or a magnetic lumbar support but don’t know if they are a waste of money. my doc now wants to give me another operation which i don’t want do please help me.

Whether it’s a routine mole removal or a complicated open-heart procedure, the tools used in any medical surgery can make a big difference in its outcome. For the best results, physicians use tried-and-true surgical instruments produced by reputable medical supply companies. Because not just any implement will do when health—and possibly a life—is on the line.
Where do surgical instruments come from?
Surgical instruments are produced by medical manufacturers, the companies that make all kinds of medical supplies. After production, they are distributed to surgical supply groups. These businesses sell the surgical instruments to doctors, hospitals, and any other people who might need them. Read more on A wide variety of surgical instruments help streamline medical procedures…

Think about the following scenario: your child scrapes his knee. You apply an antiseptic ointment and cover the wound with a bandage. The next day, you take your son to the pediatrician for his yearly checkup. While at the doctors’ office, your child has his ears checked, his heart monitored, and his weight and height measured. He receives a booster shot, which is covered with gauze, before you head home.
In the situation above, medical supplies make the scrape and the doctor’s visit go as smoothly as possible. We should be thankful for medical supplies and the people that produce them, medical manufacturers. Although doctors and other healthcare professionals are the lifeblood of the medical industry, they couldn’t do much without the help of a medical manufacturer or two. Equipment manufacturers are the true hidden heroes of modern medicine. Read more on A medical manufacturer produces important products for the healthcare industry…

A child is given a regular checkup in a doctor’s office. His heart is monitored with a stethoscope, his ears are checked with a special light, and his throat is examined with a tongue depressor and another lighted implement. Later, he receives a shot and a bandage. The visit goes smoothly for two reasons: the doctor’s skill and the assortment of medical products available for quick care.
Although you may not realize it, medical products are all around us and they make a big difference in our lives. Think about the above scenario; the stethoscope, ear device, tongue depressor, syringe for the shot, and bandage are all medical devices. These Healthcare Products are things that we have come to depend on for everyday care. A life without medical products is difficult to imagine.

Ally asked:
What did you do in order to remember things like the skeletal system, parts of the internal organs and they’re functions and things like that? I’m very interested in medicine or anatomy for uni and when I did Human Biology in high school, my memory for some of it was always a downer. Are there any pneumatic devices you used to make it easier to remember things, or was it something else? Thanks in advance for all answers!
I meant to say pneumonic, not pneaumatic, damn yahoo spell checker! Sorry if I confused anyone!

If selling “illegal substances” is a crime, what about legal drug pushers? Pharmaceutical manufacturers, that is. In 1997, the drug companies turned to aggressively hawking their products directly to consumers, after generations of leaving the need for drugs and their selection to medical professionals. TV commercials and print ads urge the public to tell their doctors they want the prescription medicines

Everybody knows that economic recession is hitting the world badly and thus every one wants to save their money in whatever way possible. One most essential thing that every one needs is the medicine, whatever it may be to survive and fight back the disease, we always need medicines. But, nowadays ever medicines have become so expensive. So many people tend to avoid them and land up in a big problem than before. Right now the demand for the high quality, low costs drugs is very more. The good news is that we have an option of the generic drugs available that are high in quality and low in price. The only need is to understand and not to believe in myths like generic drugs are or inferior quality. Generic drugs are the cheapest available option of the branded drugs in the market and show the same effects like the generic drugs. The most important thing is that generic drugs are approved by the FDA and WHO.
The financial income of the people is greatly affected because of the financial crises. All the markets are sinking because they are suffering too much lose. But, humans can not live without the medications if they have the ill health. Thus, to all these men generic drugs could be a best option to save the money. Reasons for the cheap price of the generic drug are— the cost of production of generic drug is very less as compared with the original brand name companies, no investment is done for the research on generic drug as the research is already conducted by the brand name manufacturer, clinical trials are not conducted by the generic drug manufacturer because they are previously conducted by the brand name manufacturer, and no cost is involved in the advertising and marketing of the generic drug because they get the benefit of the advertising and marketing done by the original drug manufacturer. Thus, generic drug allows the manufacturer to earn lots of profits.
Generic drugs not only save the money of the customers but also save the investment of the government in the pharmaceutical sector. US govt. has saved about 1 Billion dollars because of the generic drugs in the year 2007-08. Insurers are also very beneficial due to the use of the generic drugs. Insurance companies are asking the doctors to follow the step therapy that means doctors should first prescribe the generic drugs and if these drugs fail to produce the required effect then they should prescribe the more expensive brand-name drugs. FDA is sending pamphlets to the big pharmacy chain in US to promote the generic drugs. FDA is even asking these pharmacies to promote the sale of generic drugs. FDA says that all drugs must work well and be safe. FDA makes sure that before approving that generic drugs are of high quality, strong, pure, and stable as their respective brand-name drugs.
