Question by Rose D: How can I get a hospital admissions representative position with no former health experience?
I want a job as a hospital admissions representative but I have no former experience.

I am a senior in college and will be graduating in May. My major is speech pathology and I plan on working in a hospital after med school next fall.

I’m very smart and dependable. How can I get my foot in the door working in a hospital if every position requires previous experience?

I live in Atlanta, GA

You have two options:

1) Do unpaid work in the medical field: you could do an internship, or you could even just walk in and say you want to volunteer.

2) Think about your prior experience in other fields– maybe they’re indirectly related to the job you want? Prior admissions experience, experience in something medical-like such as social work might work.

Q&A: How do you find surgeons who will do surgery for free? Especially foot surgery?

Foot Health — Wed, 09 May 2012 09:01:19 +0000

Question by sunnydaygirl: How do you find surgeons who will do surgery for free? Especially foot surgery?
I’ve tried looking on Hunter “Patch” Adams website, the doctor whose life was portrayed in the Robin Williams’ “Patch Adams” movie. He takes a nonconventional way of helping patients, and that’s a start, but I didn’t get the information I was looking for. There are a lot of people out there w/out health insurance, and surely there have GOT to be some doctors/surgeons who would be willing to take someone’s case for free, even if just for the publicity. IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO KNOWS HOW TO FIND THEM? Thank you So much for any info.

What do I do with older pet rats that have health problems when I have to move?

Foot Health — Fri, 04 May 2012 09:01:08 +0000

Question by ladybugg: What do I do with older pet rats that have health problems when I have to move?
I’m moving internationally and there’s no possible way to take my pet rats with me. I don’t think anyone will want them because they’re older (nearing 3 years old) and not cute anymore. They have thinning hair, one has a mammary tumor, and one has a tumor on her foot with a sore that refuses to heal (the vet has said he can’t do anything for her). The girls are tame and don’t mind being picked up. I have a boy rat that is balding and doesn’t like to be held, but doesn’t bite. His cagemate is a year old and is active and healthy, but also shies away from people, but is not aggressive. They all get around just fine, are active and eating well. I didn’t want to have them put down at the vet because I heard it would be too painful. What should I do?
VirtueofIntolerance: That line of thinking would go along with feeding your ailing dog or cat to a hungry lion because they’re lower on the food chain. People that have never raised small animals, such as rats, don’t realize what good pets they make. Just because they’re rodents, have a shorter lifespan and don’t “bark” or “meow” doesn’t mean that they are less of a pet.

Q&A: How will health care reform affect specialist care?

Foot Health — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 09:02:44 +0000

Question by Flying Pig a.k.a The Fat Lady: How will health care reform affect specialist care?
On my insurance, I have a copay for regular doctors, then a ’specialist’ copay for doctor’s like chiropractors, podiatrists, etc. I have trouble with my feet and try to avoid surgery at all costs. In order for this, I visit my chiropractor and podiatrist regularly. Will they be affected with health care reform? Will thier rates change? Might I have to start paying cash for visits?

Best answer:

Answer by PrettynPink
As long as your have insurance it will be whatever they set your copay as you wont have to pay to much like mine went up to non-specialtity doc visit and iv never seen a specilatist so i dont know how much that was.

Question by : what health problems could make you not be able to loose weight?
Okay, so I am 5 foot 5, 180 pounds and it fluctuates about 3 pounds up for down depending but no matter what I cant lose weight! I run every day, my job entails me to walk around all day long, I eat very healthy, small portions of food, I strictly drink water nothing else. But I just don’t lose weight, but over the years I gain..? Something medically has to be wrong, anyone else on the diet regiment that I am in would lose weight.

How do I report a rat being at a food store to the health services ?

Foot Health — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:03:22 +0000

Question by cutie93: How do I report a rat being at a food store to the health services ?
I was at the mall and there was a rat runninng around the place at a cinnabon yesterday. Then the manager killed it with his foot and mopped the mess away. Without cleaning the mop he mopped the rest of the floor around the store so there were rat germs everywhere. Then when I got my food there were strands of hair in the cinnabon. How do I report this ?

Best answer:

Answer by rsweller
You can call the department of agriculture for your state. They should either be able to take a complaint or direct you to the proper reporting agency.

Pose Running

Foot Health — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 08:10:50 +0000

Pose running is a technique of running that for some people has led to a reduction in the number of running injuries that they get. In other runners, Pose running has led to an increase in running injuries, particularly Achilles tendonitis, posterior tibial tendonitis and metatarsal stress fractures. Pose running involves more of a forward lean to use gravity more and a forefoot or midfoot strike of the ground rather than a rearfoot strike. There is some evidence that there is an energy cost to Pose running compared to the more traditional running.

Q&A: What kind of recovery should he expect from basal cancer on his foot/ankle?

Foot Health — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:01:45 +0000

Question by Joann C: What kind of recovery should he expect from basal cancer on his foot/ankle?
My Dad was just diagnosed with this and was told he needed to have either radiation or surgery. He opted for the surgery, so they are going to take skin from his stomache and graft it where the cancer was. What kind of recovery will he have and whats the prognosis? They told him it would be done as outpatient. Hes 66 and in good health otherwise.

Best answer:

Answer by J B
You will have to ask his surgeon this questions because the answer to your question will come when they remove the cancer and see how deep it goes into the tissues. They will have to wait for the pathology report to make sure they got the cancer and surrounding margins before your surgeon can make this prediction.
