Why is it that each time you visit your GP your symptoms aren't automatically cross-matched?

Why is each visit treated as if you've never presented before with any symptom that might relate to the current one? How many consultants does one person need in his/her life?

Who's sick of people asking about Yahoo! Messenger? Can people not find the search for previously asked q's?

I was just about to post a question saying that same thing! The whole reason I got on Yahoo! Answers this morning was because I knew there would be several questions on here and someone would answer telling why we couldn't log in this morning. But I didn't realize that almost every user on here was going to ask the same question over and over and over and over again! Can't these people look at the recently asked questions? Isn't it common sense to think that the question has already been asked? It's just like those girls who keep asking "Could I be pregnant?"

How did the phrase "(someone) has gone missing" come into being?Am I the only one who thinks it strange?

in the past few years newspeople are using this phrase when someone is missing; it just doesn't sound right to me. I just wondered if anyone else thinks it sounds inappropriate - it seems like they "are missing" not "gone missing."

I think it's strange, too.\nIt sounds very colloquial. You either "are" missing, or you're not... "going" doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.\n\nYou go dancing... not missing.

What can be done about the plagues effecting African American women?

67% of Black children are born out of wedlock. Which leads to 62% of Black families are now headed by single women. Which would make it impossible for her to go to school and work and raise kids by herself. 30% of welfare recipients resort to public help for single parenthood. Sadly it makes it to difficult for one woman to handle which leads to abortions which is the leading killer of Blacks at 43% and 41% of all adbortions. This trait has been rising since the 1960's which in it's self will lead to more generational curses?

i wish i knew the answer but in order to try to lower the number i would suggest educating black men and women of the importance of family and future generations. personally it seems that today alot of black females get into this cycle where the put off having children or for that matter healthy relationships for the sake of success ( meaning getting a college education- which i agree they all should do- if the opportunity is there, but there are those who are young and say and live by the thought that they will not have children until they complete four years then get their masters- which rolls well into mid-late twenties when they than can not sacrifice a "good" job to have kids. \n\nI would say that if even half of the women knew what they were doing as far as abortions they may think twicw about it- esp. if they knew they had help from the father's of these children. believe me there are men out there that make females feel so bad when they get pregnant they either stress her out so much that she has a miscarage or she just gets an abortion to get the man to stop stressing her or to end all connections with the man.\n\nand then there are some that can not afford quality health care so they are forced to use local health centers etc. these doctors and nurses seem to be trained to talk black females out of having children- so much to they point that they will not examine recently pregnant females until they hear a speech about the different options she has - an abortion takes up 95% of the conversation. these centers also give out birth control for free or darn near free- what does that say. no condoms- they don't want anyone to slip up- or stop std's- they just want to make sure you do not reproduce at any cost to them\n\neducate our black boys and girls- at a young early age- the importance of this matter- don't go by the media rules- believe me - they are never to young to know about this stuff.\n\ni learned and researched this subject second year college- by a black studies professor- which honestly would make a big difference in alot of black males & females lives if it was taught in middle-high school years

can you write someone incarcerated in cabarrus county jail?

Hi M_money,\nI met the IncarceratedDude once, a few weekends ago. I was walking to the corner market for a loaf of bread when I had to pass by a neighborhood church. I was somewhat acquainted with the structure as it was always mentioned in the newspaper's community section. Known as "The loft," folks would gather there on Thursday evenings for poetry readings.\nHowever, this day happened to be a Saturday afternoon and a pair of gentlemen greeted me as I walked by. They invited me inside to sample an hour of their presentation. Ok, I went inside and found myself to be a prospective new recruit for their brand of religion.\n\nMost of the pews were filled with hooded monks chanting a haunting rhythm. There were others who like me, were wearing their regular denims. The service began like most others that church-goers would be familiar with. A grand master of ceremonies led the group through some songs and gave a sermon. Near the end of the hour it was time for their ritual of "laying on of the hands." Some of the parishioners would come forward and ask for prayers for their ailments or for a sick grand mum who fell down in the tub. All the hooded dudes whose faces could not readily be seen would all place a hand on the person and their combined energies were presumed to have a strength and expedite a solution to the problem.\n\nOK now, there was another new guy in the pews who was watching eagerly. I recognized IncarceratedDude from a wanted poster viewed earlier at the post office. When he saw a chance, he approached the ring of conspirators and described how he was always moving around and never able to settle down. The hooded goons closed in upon him, all to make a physical connection. The master of ceremonies began a prayer, a dogmatic mix of logic and pure hocus-pocus. I immediately saw the effects of the procedure as the tension went out of IncarceratedDude's body. When the beseeching was near an end, the master asked, "Are the brothers ready?"\n\nA suspenseful few moments passed until he almost shouted, "NOW!"\n\nOn that cue, the brothers began to pummel their hapless victim. Continually delivering blows over head and to the solar plexus until IncarceratedDude was down on the floor getting stomped. After another minute, the grand Pooh-Bah decided the treatment administered was sufficient to induce a relaxing calm that would assuage the nervousness of IncarceratedDude for a long, long time.\n\nI can't say for certain if IncarceratedDude got the comeuppance he deserved as I had a loaf of bread to buy and some other errands to do that day. I hope for you M_money, that you do find a sense of closure to this difficult episode of life.\nor, just send an Email to incarceratedDude@cabarrus.com\n\nBrett

Why do anti-Catholics bear false witness by making false claims about what the Catholic Church teaches?

Why do anti-Catholic people make baseless claims against what the Catholic Church teaches without knowing what the Catholic Church really teaches? Is it based on fear of the unknown or fear of the competition?\n\nI've even seen a made up quote from a book that never existed which anti-Catholics try to use to argue against the Catholic Church. That made up book with the made up quote is has been given a name by the anti-Catholics, they call it, "The New York Catechism". But, in doing much searching on the internet, I haven't found anything that shows that it even ever existed. The only things on it are on anti-Catholic websites who all recycle the same made up quote from this non-existent book.

I dakno but it really bugs me when they say we worship idols, saints and the Virgin Mary.\n\nInfo to u guys who don't kno:\nWe have statues and things that remind us of the saints, Jesus, and Mary. They help us pray, by helping create an image in our head. We don't WORSHIP Mary but we honor her. And saints are people in the past who show great examples on how to live a life full of goodness and faith.\n\nSo please understand that we are Christian and the term "Catholic" means universal. Meaning we are a universal church of the Christian faith that accepts everyone.\n\nYes, like you I am tired of anti-Catholics, I am tired of any anti-any religion.\nGod Bless, keep sticking up for us. :]\nedit-\nOk, i just read the answer above me and it makes me so damn sick. He has no idea what being a Catholic is, and should pick up a bible for himself sometime, or at least do real research online, seeing as he just justified the answer I gave you, for how people think so many false things about Catholics.

What do you feel about the quality of refereeing in the ongoing FIFA world cup?

Let us share our views ..

To say this tournaments referees have been an absolute discrace to the game of football would be paying them a compliment. I am an Australian and I firmly believe that the refereeing in the Aus VS Croatia game was the worst anyone will ever see! The Socceroos were incredibly lucky to survive the round after he denied 2 blatant handballs in the penalty area and a spear tackle on Viduka also in the penalty area. The socceroos should have had 4 penalties, including the one they actually got. Then Aloisi scored and the ref blew for full time and did not acnoldge the goal. He also gave one of the Croatians 3 yellow cards in the one game and allowed him to continue playing! It was ridiculous!How can the referees make such mistakes when they have two more running the lines and another one on the sidelines in front of a video screen watching replays? Before that there was the one in the Aus VS Brazil game. Everytime an Aussie touched or came close to a Brazilian, free kick! But when Kewell was chopped down just outside the area, nothing! I thought the ref in the Aus VS Italy game was much better... until he gave them that penalty in the 94th minute! Even the Italian press accept that it was never ever a penalty, Niell missed the tackle, the Italian jumped over him, lost his balance and fell over! That referee ruined the game in this country just when it was taking off. He also ruined the lives of those players and broke the hearts of socceroos supporters all over the world, and I hope he feels incredibly guilty. These are only examples from Australia games. I'm positive there have been dozens upon dozens of pathetic decisions by other referees against other countries as well, and it's these idiots that are deciding who goes through and who doesn't. I know it sounds impossible, but I'm sure there are some wheelings and dealings or blackmail going on involving this tournaments refs.

Can you use the word text as a verb and say for example I texted you yesterday or should it be I text you?

Although not in the dictionary as a verb, it is certainly common practice to do so. This is because of the flexibilty of the English language; and I'm sure that in a few years' time, it will become a a verb in the OED.\nWritten English tends to remain more formal than spoken; but it is the development of spoken English that expands our dictionaries every year.\nSome linguists will argue that, so long as the intended meaning is clear and identical to both parties, then it is perfectly acceptable.

I think if you try not to let yourself become overwhelmed with thoughts of the future and you allow yourself a little time to adjust, you will be just fine. Try to focus on the positives and let yourself get excited about all of the possibilities in front of you. There is so much more than either going to college or getting an entry level job. People these days are starting businesses and doing really incredible things right out of high school. Be open to your options and seek good advice when you need it!

Why chemicals should never be placed directly on the balance pans?

this is a chemistry laboratory subject

Because chemicals react with eachother, it is bad practice to place chemicals directly on the balance pans. Residual chemicals from a previous experiment could be resident on the pan, resulting in contamination of your chemical, or worse, an unwanted chemical reaction. This is why the majority of experiments require glass containers for chemicals. Most chemicals to not adhere to glass like they might do to metal, and glass can be more easily identified as clean.

I know this sound ridiculous but baby food is the best since it is produced to be simple for a babies sensative taste and digestion process.\n\nREST!! no tv, not a lot of reading, sleep all the way!!! :)\n\nIf your vommitting consitently avoid cold drinks\nKeep your food light and basic.

I have decided that I do not ONLY hate teenagers who think that they are tough, but I ALSO despise teenagers who think that they are smart/intellectual when in fact they are just plain presumptuous. All of these retarded pre-pubescent tweens think that they are right just by making a gross gramatical mess out of a response to my question. I especially love the one asshole who PRESUMES that his IQ EXCEEDS MINE. Your generation (and you in particular) are pompus little wastes of air and space. Get a clue about society today. Get some personalities...all of you retards are like little clones of one another. If the girl isn't trying to be 'kristen on Laguna beach', then she is a goth freak trying to 'speak out through her "original" black clothing. Losers. You asshole boys, on the other hand... If you don't think that you are an intellectual, (which you're not), then you're just a jock

teenagers grow up to be adults.\nbe patient.\nthey will live through their young years and mature.\nare you an adult?? you don't sound like one.. control yourself..that's what teenagers do????...lol

Do you think all the illegal aliens come here to work?.....Listen to this!?

Illegal aliens are NOT necessarily coming here to work. Statistical surveys recently reported that 33 percent of our prison population is now comprised of non-citizens. Plus, 36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. So, for a good proportion of these people, the American dream is crime and welfare, not coming here to work.

what can you get when mixing lead (II) acetate solution and sodium chloride solution?it's equation involved?

You have two ionic substances, it will undergo a double displacement reaction.\nPb(C2H3O2)2 + 2 NaCl --> PbCl2 + 2 NaC2H3O2\n\nNow since Lead(II) acetate, Sodium chloride, and sodium acetate are soluble, they break up in water, and the net ionic equation is\nPb2+ + 2 Cl- --> PbCl2\n\nPbCl2 or Lead (II) chloride, is the precipitate formed, and it's generally yellowish.

Sawney? Sorney? Sauney?

Anybody can help out with this word please? My 86 year old mother, born in Wales, used to describe people who were akin to idiots or imbeciles as "Sauney" although the exact spelling is unknown. Everyone I have asked about this has never heard of the word or any of its possible variations. Is anyone aware if this is a proper word ( regional, slang or otherwise )? Thanks

It's usually "Sawney" and is a first name,a variant on "Alexander"Sawney Been was a legendary Scottish bandit and supposed cannibal.He and his tribe/family lived in isolation and were supposedly very in-bred and therefore I guess,stupid.

Was Joseph smith a free mason?

WOW. Ahhh, just so you know, most Masons are NOT Mormons. I am a Mason and have been for years. I have met many Masons, and none of them are Mormons. I have met Christian Masons, Jewish Masons, and Muslim Masons.\n\nJoseph Smith WAS a Mason, and I believe he "borrowed" quite a bit of his "prophecy" from Masonic ritual. We Masons do not adopt any religion as part of the fraternity, because each member is to worship in his own faith. We are not a religious organization.\n\nIf you have any more questions about Freemasonry, and want the answer from a real Freemason, please feel free to contact me.

Depends on the state you got the ticket and the state you moved to. some states communicate with each other and some states don't. for example, Louisiana doesn't care, but Texas will suspend your license if you don't pay a ticket in California. I drive a truck cross country trust me on this one. also is the ticket for a moving violation (speeding running a red light?) or parking ticket? if not a moving violation then don't worry.

How can I finance investment property?

My wife and I are pretty handy around the house ... so purchasing a fixer upper is natrually the kind of investment property that we would look for. We have found several potentially great properties in our area howerver, we haven't made any offers because the traditional mortgage lender is the only kind of financing that we know of, and they usually want any where from 15% - 25% down. Does anyone know of creative financing techniqes that we could use?

You could try to get the owners of the property to sell to you on a lease option for say 2 years, and lets say that you pay 500 a month, with 500 down, then you would have control of the property and you could do your fix-ups or rent it out and collect the rent.( Be sure and include that in the offer that you can rent the property out) You should be able to get a 2nd mortgage to do your rehabs, (most banks would want to be in 1st position and the owner would hold the 2nd mortgage) If you have control of the property it makes thing alot easier, check out a mortgage broker they can usually find something. I currently use GMAC mortgage and they found a place that we only need 5% down on investment property. Good luck!

Can anyone help with my college homework, what is the normal fireing rate for the atrium in the hearts conduction system???? If any medical proffesionals out there can help me I would greatly appreciate it. You can e-mail me at grkra3@yahoo.com I NEED THIS ANSWER SOON!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

It really depends on your age and development cycle....At 21 days after conception, the human heart rate begins beating a 75-80 beats per minute and accelerates linearly for the first month of beating.The human embryonic heart (EHR) begins beating at approximately 21 days after conception, or five weeks after the last normal menstrual period (LMP), which is the date normally used to date pregnancy. The human heart begins beating at a rate near the mother’s, about 75-80 beats per minute (bpm). It then accelerates linearly for the first month of beating, peaking at 165-185 bpm during the early 7th week, (early 9th week after the LMP). This acceleration is approximately 3.3 bpm per day, or about 10 bpm every three days, an increase of 100 bpm in the first month. After peaking at about 9.2 weeks after the LMP, it decelerates to about 150 bpm (+/-25 bpm) during the 15 week after the LMP. After the 15th week the deceleration slows reaching an average rate of about 145 (+/-25 bpm) bpm at term. The regression formula which describes this acceleration before the embryo reaches 25 mm in crown-rump length or 9.2 LMP weeks is:\n\nAge in days = EHR(0.3)+6

Honor killings in islam?

Every 40 seconds a muslim woman is murdered in the name of honor. muslim girls are put through the horror of FGM (female genital mutilation) , forced marraiges to old men, child marraiges and other forms of torture. and its getting worse for muslim females. wife rape is very common among muslim men, and as a result over 75% of married muslim women suffer from vaginal problems such as constant discharge. I know doctors in dubai who tell me this, and the world health organisation reports it as well.\nI am glad that some brave muslim women are speaking out even when they are threatened with death.\ncomments?

All over the world people have believed through out history in honor killings. But what are these honor crimes. These crimes “are acts of violence, usually murder, committed by male family members against female family members who are perceived to have brought dishonor upon the family.” A family may feel the need to commit such a crime by “refusing to enter into an arranged marriage, being the victim of a sexual assault, seeking a divorce even from an abusive husband or committing adultery.” Even the thought of a woman bringing dishonor to a family may cause an attack. \n\nHonor killings, as described by Wikipedia online encyclopedia, is generally considered a premeditated crime yet crimes of passion. “Crimes of passion often have special status under the law.” \n\nThe West is not immune to this type of violence against women. “Until 1975, the French Penal Code commuted the sentence of a husband who killed his wife after finding her in the act of committing adultery; this law passed into the legal frameworks of the many nations who based their modern legal codes on the Napoleonic Code.” Yet these crimes of passion are small in number “and are different from premeditated crimes against an adulterous spouse.”\n\nAs of 2004, honor killings have occurred not only in the East but also many European countries, “including: Bangladesh, Brazil, Ecuador, Egypt, Germany, India, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Jordan, Morocco, Pakistan, Palestine, Sweden, Turkey, Uganda and the United Kingdom.” The United Nations Population Fund believes that annually there are worldwide 5,000 women killed through honor killings. these killings are often made to look like suicide, fire or an accident.\n\nIn a traditional view of Islamic law says there should be a “severe punishments for zina' , or extramarital sex, by both men and women.” Premarital can be punished by 100 lashes, and adultery by lethal stoning. To implement such a punishment the act must be seen by “at least four male witnesses of good character. The punishment is to be “reserved to the legal authorities, and false accusations are themselves punished severely. In conservative areas many men consider it a slur on the family's honor if women in the family are found to have relationships with other men outside of marriage, or when they marry without their families' consent.” \n\nAn honor killing in the Islamic definition refers to “specifically to extra-legal punishment by the family against the woman, and as such is forbidden by the sharia.” The “Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran has condemned the practice as ‘un-Islamic’, though punishment under Iranian law remains lenient. In Pakistan, when a bill proposing to strengthen the law against ‘Honor Killing’ was defeated in Parliament, March 2, 2005, the government allied with the Islamist opposition to decide explicitly that the bill was ‘un-Islamic’. In Jordan there is a movement to stop honor killings. Although King Abdullah II has tried to bring new light onto this subject. He has gone to the parliament for change but not received warmly. But after hearing this the people went to the streets in protest. Trying to bring his country into a modernist point of view.\n\nYet there are still areas of modern thought, showing this a cultural practice not Islamic. In Indonesia and parts of West Africa honor killings are unknown, “as also in with majority-Muslim populations.” These areas are not culturally Arab yet Indonesia is the largest Islamic country. These areas give hope for other Islamic nations to also not allow these actions against women.\n \n\nWith all that have been done in the world to protect the women in the world there is still more to be done. Honor crimes are not based in Islam but in culture. By bringing this fact into the public spectrum it is more likely to stop such a practice. Around the world women are still victims of crimes by family members seeing the family hono

In a quest to promote racial equality does the government/media actually drive ethnic groups further apart?

For example, by allowing jobs to advertise for ethnic minorities only, or by introducing ethnic minority training schemes, or by introducing free nursery schools for children from ethnic backgrounds. I was particularly shocked by one book, called "The Angry Black Woman's Guide To Life" due to it containing a list of phrases a white person might say to a black person and what their sneaky underlying messages are (i.e. "How many children do you have?" is translated as "How many of your children am I supporting with my tax money?")\nPlease give other examples of ethnic groups being separated in the name of equality if you can think of them. And do you think the government are right or wrong to separate racial groups in order to create opportunities according to each group's needs?

Yes. It also promotes gang culture in minority dominated Ghetto's by feeding the idea that people can't make it because they are part of a minority group. Fortunately, this attitude is starting to change. Many members of minority groups (the majority of whom are single mothers) are ignoring the messages that they have been sent all their lives and seeking a better life, by going back to school or job training programs and getting jobs that allow them to move to safer neighborhoods. Another change is that people living in many of those neighborhoods are banding together and pushing the gangs out. \n\nMost people want to eliminate affirmative action right now, but because of the past rulings of the supreme court and the push by certain liberal organizations, it will be difficult to make it go away.

what is the purpose of your pancreas?

A quick trip to Yahoo! Reference revealed that the pancreas is a small, irregularly shaped organ that resides between your stomach and your spine. The pancreas has two primary purposes: to secrete enzymes into your digestive system that help break down carbohydrates and protein, and to produce hormones that help maintain normal blood sugar levels. \nThe pancreas is technically part of the endocrine system, though it plays an important role in the digestive system as well. The endocrine system is a collection of glands, including your pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands, that secrete hormones to monitor your metabolism and cell growth, among many other things.
