.... the abdomen or groin. Hernias are commonly called "ruptures," but this is a misnomer, as nothing is torn or ruptured. Hernias can be present from birth (congenital) or can be caused by stress and/or strain. A femoral hernia is just one of many different types of hernias.

.... the world every year sends shivers down my spine. But I guess you may say that it is not my place to speak. There are fewer deaths per million abortions than per million births according to the Planned Parenthood survey of 1995. There are nine deaths per million abortion procedures and sixty-three deaths per million births. Both complications and the death rate rise with the age of the fetus.

According to pro-choice physicians they believe that a certain connection, synaptic, n .....

Tracking and collecting data is hard to do because first the patient has to be diagnosed and a continuing follow-up must be done; if not this could and would cause problems. There has been two programs of surveillance which includes FAS. The first program is the BDMP which relies on reported hospital discharge diagnosis of .....

.... screening programs, and also to the increasing number of older persons in the population, and also to the large number of tabacco smokers--particularly in women. Some researchers have estimated that if Americans stopped smoking, lung deaths could virtually be eliminated within 20 years. The U.S. government and private organizations spent about $1.2 billion annual for research. With the development of new drugs and treatments, the number of deaths among patients under 30 years of age is decreasing, even though the number of deaths from is growing overall.

.... Roe vs. Wade had been a continuing reminder to the conscience of this nation. The nation reflects today that we can't diminish the value of human life(the unborn child) without diminishing the value of all human life including each and everyone of us. Mother Teresa once said “Abortion is the greatest moral crisis that faces the world today. What is the real issue – how can we call a mother a mother if she aborts her child, she is no longer a mother.

The second useless article is about a child named Adam who is courageous in overcoming his battle. The next article deals with loneliness and how it effects people in general. The fourth article talks about how everyone worries; again another specific t .....

.... choosing. Unlike murder, euthanasia is not an act of violence. In an editorial in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dr. Eric Chevlen argues that patients, who are worn down by pain, extensive testing, and depression, will be easily persuaded to seek assisted suicide (11B). Furthermore, Chevlen mentions that the courts have decided that the right to die should be made available to everyone (11B). Modern medical technology has allowed doctors to prolong life past the point of a patient's natural death. In the case of euthanasia, the doctor needs to end suffering from cancer or AIDS and assist the patient to die comfortably. P .....

.... consultation, examination, and treatment are confidential and should be conducted discreetly. Those not directly involved in his care must have the permission of the patient to be present. The patient has the right to expect that all communications and records pertaining to his care should be treated as confidential.
