haifagirl -that also was bothering me, almost everyone here spells definitely -“DEFINATELY”. I’m suprised real-brisker left out the “A”. He comes pretty close to the right spelling.

Why does a 11th grader have to think about a career now? Think about where you want to go to seminary or college. Worry about career later. Most college students haven’t the foggiest what they are going to do after college. A lot start to figure it out during college. No 11th grader can even begin to understand what medical school & residency entails. BTW, you have to be a nurse before you can be a NP. PA’s can still get their degree in 4 years, some places.

Coffee bean -What about applying in nursing homes. Even in the hospitals I’ve seen many job fairs.

My father is a lefty, skipped me and my oldest son is a lefty.

No she’s probably talking about grown up things. I tell you Charlie’s (Dr. Hall) post is correct. You have to be mature enough to be able to handle things that most frum Jews will never see in their whole life. I don’t oppose singles either male or female joining our ranks, but it can be a real-shocker for someone who has been sheltered in the frum community their whole life!

Aries -In this case you’re right. It’s just a diagnostic endo. But like I posted before if the risks outweighed the benefits, we wouldn’t give anyone anesthesia, adults or children.

PB -Your theories are way off base. Binge eating was included in the last edition and will be included probably as a separate entity in the next.

Also, “combining the sociopathic personality disorders into antisocial personality disorder” -I don’t know why you would say these reclassifications are because of politics. They still are called mental disorders.

“PMS, a very real disorder which has plenty of scientific research to back it, is not in the DSM for political reasons.”

The reason for this is because it’s not a Mental disorder, only a medical disorder. This has nothing to do with politics. There is a small subset of PMS called PMDD, which was classified in the last DSM as a subset of another mental disorder. The committee is considering removing it entirely, leaving it be or changing it to it’s own disorder. The reason they are thinking to remove it -is because it’s such a small subset, it can be just under the medical disorder of PMS, it doesn’t need it’s own mental classification. Even so, one expert doesn’t think they will go with this option. I see no logical reason for anyone to claim any of this has to do with politics. So the same for ADHD, if it fell under a medical disorder, they would leave it out. It’s Not a medical disorder. Also, you don’t put things in the DSM for insurance to cover things because they shell out much more freely if the disorder is medical as opposed to Mental!

Parts of Viscaya are indoors.

Popa -only in that one case. If you bring me proof in another, I’ll consider it. But right now, that’s the only one. Because morality in America has reached the 50th level of Tuma, so they removed it.

pascha bchochma & popa_bar_abba – “mental illness is far more stigmatized than learning issues,” “So in terms of shidduchim, which the lady asked about, I would not categorize ADHD as a mental illness.”

What you are saying is -don’t call something what it really is, because the frum community will stigmatize you. This was the point of the topic that was closed -mental illness is very stigmatized in the frum community. Don’t you think by doing things like calling ADHD- a non-mental illness, you are fueling the fire of people who stigmatize mental illness?

“Here for example, ADHD was probably lobbied to be included so that some government organization would be required to treat it.”

This isn’t an example, this is part of your theory. It is true that they have removed something due to political correctness. This was homosexuality. I know of nothing else that was removed or put in due to lobbying. You can’t just knock a group of scientists because you disagree.

pascha bchochma- There are many theories of what the cause of ADHD is. In the US mental illness is defined by the DSM, not by anonymous bloggers. In the last edition of the DSM, ADHD is classified as a Mental Illness. It will also be classified as such in the next edition, but they might change some terminology.

PB writes- “However, medication is not necessary”

Please see my post above how to treat it. Medication can very well become necessary if the behavioral therapy can’t control the child.

In India you can’t ride a cow -they are holy. I don’t know about a horse.

MiI -That’s a diagnostic endo, so it’s like I and others have said.

There’s nothing to expect. It’s done as an outpatient procedure -takes about 20 minutes.

Mother in Israel- Are they doing a procedure endoscopically or are they just looking for something?

SJSinNYC -Would this apply to leg also that the Shok would be the hip and not the knee? Also, please find out who held like this, even a contempory Poisek.

AOM -I’m sorry that’s a lawyer joke. How do you know when a lawyer is lying? When his lips are moving!

SJS -While you modern people might have a heter not to cover hair, I see the same women with short sleeves. What heter do you have to go with short sleeves?

DG- Is this why you’re divorced because you lost your Parnossa? One of the reasons I am, is because I never had one. I just graduated now from something in the medical field. I don’t know where you live, but I know in Flatbush (I don’t live there) there are a lot of frum lawyers, some even have their owm firm. Maybe you can connect with them- to help you out.

Good thing none of you work in the medical field. I’m not even going to talk about that. When I was in Yeshiva, almost everyone had chores. My two worst was cleaning giant pots that I couldn’t even get my hands into after they were used on Shabbos. I couldn’t even begin to get off all that stuff that was baked on.

The second was collecting all the plates (they weren’t throw aways) after a few hours after supper. The whole dining room smelled from the food left on the plates already. I had to dump the leftovers on all the plates in the trash and put the dishes in a large bucket/basket.

ESSS -That’s what I was talking about. Don’t use any spray or anything else with them. The gel is the same as what’s in the little bait houses, only kids and pets can’t get to them. I think Raid has two types -one stronger than the other. Obviously go with the stronger, even if it’s a little bit more money. It takes awhile to work, but they do work. Don’t even put down boric acid with the bait houses.

Brooklyn Yenta- “should you decide to get into a relationship with a mentally unstable person.”

Most mentally ill people (over 90%) aren’t UNstable and don’t become unstable even if they don’t take their meds, even for extended periods of time.

EDITED

esss -Since your name is Esss, I’ll tell you what some people who were neighbors did. They Essed them -fried of course. The rest were pets and had names. And no, I’m not kidding unfortunately.

If you don’t want to wait for the lanlord, for a few bucks they sell now Roach control systems. They look like Roach motels, but they contain bait which the roaches take, and it ends up killing the whole colony. (Motels won’t solve a major investation.) This costs about 5-7 bucks. If you don’t want to spend even that much, Boric acid works great. Just spread behind or in cabinets, frigdes or anywhere around food areas. If you have kids, you can still use it, but make sure it’s an area where the kids can’t reach -high cabinets, on top of fridge, behind something that they can’t reach, etc…

Moderator-80/Mr. 80- “your perspective is not “different”.

it is clearly the perspective of someone who has never been in that position or involved with other in preparing a Bris.

and is just guessing based on a complete lack of knowledge.”

I hope you don’t practice medicine this way, by deciding what something is before having all the facts. I haven’t been in that position, this is true, but I have made Brissim. You figure it out- what I’m saying! And no, I’m not a caterer or some sort of org. or did any help for relatives!

Mod -80- You’re probably right with people of means, but a lot of people don’t have extra money to give out to people who aren’t coming to the meal. A lot of people would rather save the money than supply a good breakfast for someone who can’t stay. Just a different perspective than all the above posters.

Of course it should, but the point of the statistic is that- what is more important to concentrate on because you have a more liklihood of coming down with it.

“Knowing the cause helps in preventative measures”

That is exactly the point -there are many causes. You are clouding the issue by blaming only one cause which you claim others have insisted is the main cause.

And my point was -a person shouldn’t concentrate on just not having the in-laws or parents mingling, noone should get involved in people’s marriages, unless they are professionals. They can cause irreversible damage!
