Does Preventive Medicine Help In The Reduction Of Healthcare Costs?

All of us have heard the saying that "prevention is better than cure" and we know how true the maxim rings for all and sundry. Those who lead a healthy lifestyle are much less likely to fall prey to a host of diseases. In order to keep people healthy, all physicians practice the trend of preventive medicine. In fact this is a branch of medicine that is given special recognition under the American Board of Medical Specialities. It focuses on the health and well being of not just individuals, but defined populations and communities as well. Death, disability and disease can be given a big fight today thanks to this branch.

Within ten minutes we got the call from E.R. saying they were bringing a 19 year old female, who was brought to the E.R. by her roommate; she had an abortion earlier in the day and when she came back to the dorm, she started bleeding a lot. I worked the nightshift most of my nursing life. I never had any problem sleeping during the daytime, but many people absolutely cannot sleep during the day. The extra money was also nice. I worked as a registered nurse both floor work, endoscopy, and surgery. Surgery on the night shift could be slow, routine, or insane. There were the appendicitis cases, gunshot wounds, ruptured aortas (we called in the heart team for those), broken bones and auto accidents. There were some nights that still stay with me; this is one of them.

How to Get Rid of Cellulite Quickly and Permanently

Many women struggle with cellulite, that unsightly dimpled and flabby tissue on their hips, buttocks, and thighs. And for many it is a lifelong struggle that leaves them resorting to wearing pants and long dresses as much as possible to hide the bumpy appearance of their skin.
