Avatar n tn t find anyone who actually has the test. Most of the hospitals here is Walla, Walla, WA do decompression for Chiari Malformation but none of them have the test. I called one place that never even heard of the test. OMG how do they diagnose the malformation properly without the test? I'm feeling confused. I called the neurology department at Kadlec, which is the major hospital in this area.
Avatar m tn i have read an article stating how some people may have been exposed to the hiv virus (and hepatitis) because the hospital didnt use the proper sterilization on colonoscopy equipment. and another similar article that stated those that underwent ear, nose, and throat treatments were exposed too. how likely is someone to catch the hiv virus from a situation like this?
Avatar m tn The article you reference makes no mention of HIV - that is because HIV cannot be transmitted that way. If you have other questions about the safety of using dental equipment, we suggest visiting the Dental Health forum, as this forum is HIV specific.
Avatar m tn Tattoo artists/piercers are trained on safety measures regarding bloodborne pathogens and do not reuse needles and they sterilize equipment between all customers.
Avatar m tn The main school is out of Olympia WA. but practitioners are all over the globe. They are trained to deal with exactly what you describe.
Avatar n tn Power-generating equipment, arc welding equipment and powerful magnets (as in medical devices, heavy equipment or motors) can inhibit pulse generators. Patients who work with or near such equipment should know that their pacemakers may not work properly in those conditions. Cellphonelphones available in the United States (less than 3 watts) don't seem to damage pulse generators or affect how the pacemaker works.
Avatar f tn I'm looking to have a prosthesis made for my dog's front leg. I found a great company that does this, but its in NY, and I'm in WA State, so I'm trying to find a prosthesis company within driving distance. Can anyone recommend someone out here?
7627361 tn?1392962698 I'm 37 weeks with a baby boy. I'm from El Paso, Tx. but live in Olympia, Wa because my husband is stationed here. There ain't no place like Texas though and boy do I sure miss home.
572651 tn?1530999357 If you saw my email inbox you might be surprised at some of the mail I receive. I have signed up on distribution lists for many medical sites, including Nursing Times from the UK. I received an announcement today about an upcoming convention in LONDON, that may be of interest to some of you. This convention/conference is September 29-30 and the registration is FREE. I wish I could go, but its a bit far to commute. Some of you who live in the UK may be interested, though.
Avatar f tn I am so scared:) I was at a discount store and poked my hand with a safety pin that was taken apart, basically mangled. It looked like somebody had twisted it. It was on top of a clothing rack. It drew blood on me. The store had just opened and I am wondering if someone had purposely placed it there. Can I get hiv fro it and if not can you explain why? Thank you I am so scared!!!!
Avatar f tn My doctor has given me a referral for SKG Mandurah to have my 1st trimester 12 Week Ultrasound & NT Scan as it's the same place I had my early pregnancy (dates unclear) ultrasound where I had been informed I was 9 weeks & due on the 20th of March, 2015!
475300 tn?1312423126 Since were talking about tattoos-I was a tattoo artist in the 1980s and early 90s.One way hepC is transmitted via tattoo is interesting. Even though everything (equipment ,etc.) has been medically sterilized in an autoclave, there's a place some inexperienced tattooists miss. First, I fill a small cup with ink, and then begin the tattoo. I dip the bloody needles into the ink, and back to your skin. No problem there. Now, I run low on ink and refill the cup.
1950401 tn?1324510574 Also if you have a planned parenthood anywhere nearby a lot of the times they can do cheap pregnancy tests and consultations (again without a guardian present, I know the one in Olympia, WA took my sister at 15). Now if you come out clean and clear-just learn from this scare.
Avatar m tn It sounds like your doctor uses the same sort of equipment that used to be routine (20+ years ago), i.e. a sterile bacteriological loop. These were the norm among many STD specialists before modern disposalble swabs becamse widely available. And my guess the scalpel blade was disposable, single-use. There is no reasonable possibility the doctor does not carefully sterilizes the loop (and scalpel, if not disposablet) between patients.
Avatar m tn Third, almost all phlebotomy and injection equipment are now manufactured to be a ONE use only item, with safety features that actually render the equipment unable to be used a second time. If you cannot accept this, then get yourself some professional help.
1658980 tn?1330711550 Hi, Within the U.S. just having your prescription accompanying your meds is usually sufficient. -It is wise to have an extra script (paper one) on your person in the event something happens to your luggage or meds though. That way, you can just go in to a pharmacy at your destination and get the Peg. (I'm, in WA state and most of our major pharmacies carry Peg and Riba.
2168213 tn?1357062544 I'm 12wks now and our sex life has been great. But my husband wanted to spice it up and bought me dildo/vibrator. I haven't had that and never experienced it. Anyone use it? Is it safe for the baby? I definitely don't want to risk the safety of my baby with my sexual pleasure. My little one is precious!!!
Avatar f tn I moved here from Eastern Oregon where you never know what kind of weather you're going to get. It's so much better here and so beautiful! I'm glad I made the move.
