How to see a doctor or therapist without parental permission?
Q. Here goes, my friend has had multiple eating problems, where she has not eaten for unhealthy periods of time. She now believes she is eating enough but often feels dizzy and experiences multiple other symptoms. She would like to see a doctor or a therapist, but as I explained above she does not want her parents to find out. It would also be preferable if it was free. Telling her parents is not an option. Any suggestions of how to see a doctor or a therapist (preferably a doctor). Also, she lives in Ontario, Canada. Please and thank you!

A. Unfortunately you need to be 18 to see a doctor without parental consent. Do you have any other trusted adults you could talk to teacher, coach, counsellor, religious leader? You're going to need the help of an adult with this. If you want your friend to get the help she needs she's going to have to tell at least one of her parents. Good Luck

What type of doctor takes care of ectopic pregnancy? How long does the surgery take and recovery?
Q. Which doctor do you go to take care of an ectopic pregnancy? Gyncologist or regular doctor? What type of surgery is it? How long does surgery take? Is it in a hospital or somewhere else? How long does it take to recover? Is it impossible to get pregnant afterwards?

A. My OBGYN dealt with my ectopic pregnancy. I was admitted to the hospital on a Friday night and discharged on a Sunday or Monday. They tried to go through my belly button but could not. I had to be cut like a C section. I recovered in about 4-6wks. My ectopic pregnancy happened in May and I got pregnant within 6mths.

A. First ask yourself...do you want to be a doctor because of the title or do you want to skip all the schooling and training and be happy assisting in an alliad-health field like physician assistant or midwife. A midwife does deliver babies without the surgical part but she is educated through nursing school and then does post graduate work just around taking care of pregnant women and delivering babies. Depending on the state or region you may work by yourself or some choose to work under the supervision of an doctor. Good Luck!

What type of doctor should I see about numbness in my toe?
Q. I have started to notice some numbness in one of my toes recently. It has been numb for about 5 days now. What type of doctor should I go see regarding this issue? I am not sure if it's because I am developing a callus on the tip of my toe from wearing sandals all summer long or if it's because my nerve is messed up. Any suggestions as to what type of doctor to see? Thanks.

How does a doctor feel a uterus for how far pregnant a woman is?

A. When I was pregnant with my son who's now 3 years old, my doctor felt my uterus by pressing down on my abdomon with one hand and pressing up inside my vagina. He told me I was about 12 weeks and I even told me where the baby had implanted!!! He drew a picture of what he felt. It looked like a lima bean. I would say their ability to do this is much experience and practice in feeling what a normal, unpregnant uterus feels like in compairsion to a pregnant one. He told me an unpregnant uterus is small, about the size of a peach. but in pregnancy, it gently begins to swell.

A. It depends on where you go! No matter what you decide to specialize in, you'll be able to help out if you put time into doing a little research into the various organizations out there. However, I'll list a couple specialties off the top of my head and give examples what they can do. Orthopedic surgery: trauma broken bones, congenital skeletal problems, etc. General surgery: general trauma, primarily abdominal Family doctors: on the ground providing triage and primary care

A. The first thing he will probably ask is what your diet is like, that's the most likely cause of the problem. He'll probably ask you something about your stool at some point, but that will be the most embarrassing thing he'll get into with you. I wouldn't worry about it.

What type of doctor should I visit for arm numbness most likely the result of repetitive motion at work?
Q. I am a baker and stress my arms daily with repetitive motion. Lately I've been having alternating pain and numbness in my wrist, hands, and shoulders. I don't have health insurance, so I don't want to pay several office visit fees going to the wrong type of doctor. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on and what type of doctor I should see?
Asked by goodbye_ohio - Sun Oct 11 13:13:57 2009 - Pain & Pain Management - 4 Answers - Comments
A. You need to see a Neurologist, they deal with numbness in the extremities and treat headaches. You may have carpal tunnel or/and a bad rotator cuff. An Orthopedist can diagnose a bad rotator cuff, I'm not sure if a Neurologist can or not. So you may have to see 2 Doctors since it may be 2 different problems.

How to switch doctor/paramedic for martial arts tournament?
Q. For years our 'family' of martial arts schools have used a certain person for the medical official we're required to keep in case of injuries. This guy is a Jr. Master, taekwondo instructor, and Dr. But he's a chiropractor doctor, not a medical or emergency care doctor. I co-run a tournament, and the other directors agree that we want to get someone with emergency care expertise, but we're afraid of offending him. How do I politely ask Dr. Master Chiropractor to step aside for a paramedic or better experienced doctor?

A. First off, Getting a paramedic team on standby is a must. This can be done with minor coordination and expense with a local hospital. I would keep the Chiro on hand just as I would additional trainer staff. You don't want to yell the paramedics over for simple things that can be fixed on the spot. Another GREAT idea is if you have a local university handy, especially one with a sports team as they all have trainer programs. People who are accustomed to and are training to handle sport specific injuries. Having a few students from a local sports trainer program can also make things easier. I think it is easy to just be an adult with the Chiro, I am sure he won't mind for a tournament if there are emergency medical staff, and sports injury… [cont.]

I think it is easy to just be an adult with the Chiro, I am sure he won't mind for a tournament if there are emergency medical staff, and sports injury… [cont.]

When does the doctor usually start talking about/setting a date for induction?
Q. I'm due today and I have a doctors appointment in 2 days. So if I don't have the baby before my appointment would the doctor set a date for induction or do you think it would be my next appointment after? Not that I'm like rushing induction or anything lol I would much rather go when the baby is ready but I'm just curious.

A. That depends on the doctor. Some what to do it asap and others feel it is best to wait and see if baby will come on its own. If you are not in a hurry you can always tell the doctor you want to wait until 41 or 42 weeks to talk about inducing.

How do I find a doctor to prescribe antidepressants?
Q. I am depressed and I wish to seek help for it. However, I have no idea where to start. How do I find such a doctor? What kind of doctor would I go to? Can a psychiatrist prescribe these kinds of things? Can a psychologist? Can a therapist? Is there somewhere online I can find a list of these kinds of doctors in my area?

A. Most primary physicians (and that can be a person with an MD or DO) are familiar with the basic symptoms of depression and the options for prescriptions. In fact, antidepressants are one of the most frequently prescribed classes of drugs. Certainly a psychiatrist is going to be able to prescribe and he or she has the added advantage of expertise with diagnosis and treatment. Some psychiatrists do psychotherapy while others would refer to a psychologist or other therapist. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners can prescribe antidepressants in many states. Psychologists can prescribe medication in very few states (New Mexico, Louisiana). Antidepressants are very likely to help your depression, but you really should consider the addition of… [cont.]

Is a doctor belonging to just one single medical group possibly better?
Q. We have been trying to short list a few Primary physicians (Internal medicine or Family practice) in our area. Some doctors belong to just one medical group where as other doctors belong to multiple medical groups. Can we make any assumptions based on this - example - the doctor belonging to multiple medical groups is possibly not getting enough patients in one medical group and hence needs to list himself in multiple medical groups. Similarly can we also assume the doctor belonging to just one medical group is able to sustain herself with enough patients in just that medical group and hence possibly slightly better?

A. I wouldn't assume so. getting many patients doesn't neccesarily mean that the doctor is good. I would highly suggest you go with the Internist, not the family medicine doctor
