Sex after surgery
A surgeon went to check on his blonde patient after an operation.
She was awake, so he examined her. "You'll be fine," he said.
She asked, "How long will it be before I am able to have a normal sex life again doctor?"
The surgeon seemed to pause, which alarmed the girl.
"What's the matter Doctor? I will be all right, won't I?"
He replied, "Yes, you'll be fine. It's just that no one has ever asked me that after having their tonsils out."
Self CPR
What are you to do if you have a heart attack
While you are alone.
If you've already received this,
It means people care about you.
The Johnson City Medical Center staff actually
Discovered this and did an in-depth study
On it in our ICU.
The two individuals that discovered this then did
An article on it, had it published and have had it incorporated into ACLS and CPR classes.
It is very true and has and does work.
It is called cough CPR.
A cardiologist says it's the truth
If everyone who gets this sends it to 10 people,
You can bet that we'll save at least one life.
It could save your life!
Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. And you're driving home
(alone of course), after an usually hard day on the job.
You're really tired, upset and frustrated.
Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain
In your chest that starts to radiate out
Into your arm and up into your jaw.
You are only about five miles from the hospital
Nearest your home.
Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be
Able to make it that far.
What can you do?
You've been trained in CPR
But the guy that taught the course didn't tell
You what to do if it happened to yourself.
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order.
Without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint,
Has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken before each
Cough, and the cough must be deep
And prolonged, as when producing sputum
From deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated
About every two seconds without let up
Until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.
The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.
Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives!

Picture this: you've spent your whole life being
legally blind. At the age of 24 you get a pair of
glasses that brings the world into focus for the very
first time -- first you can see the eye chart in the
doctor's office; then you turn to your grandmother's
smiling face, which you'd never really seen before.
Tears are shed, and from then on you just can't drink in
your surroundings fast enough.
This happened to Michael Davis, aka volunteerforvision,
who's using YouTube to show people what the
transformation was like from the inside. His
video allows you to see, quite literally, what the
world looked like to him before the glasses and after,
with things like street signs, stars, blades of grass
and book covers sharpening before your eyes:
Recently, Davis ran in his first race, "Journey for
Sight," where he placed first among visually
impaired runners. Buoyed by this success, he enlisted in
a second run, for which he raised $1,000 for the
children's hospital where he had 23 surgeries before the
age of 13. Naturally, he made
a video about the experience.
By using social sites like YouTube to try to find a
community of people with similar experiences and to
inspire others with his story, Davis is building toward
his ultimate goal: to earn a masters degree in
accounting and to start a nonprofit organization devoted
to informing the visually impaired about the services
available to them and how technology can enrich a life.
