I read somewhere that he was going to try to start a band while in

rehab. That should be interesting, if it's true. I know that he can

play the piano.

Ok.... now guys.....other than the fact that he is a pill-popping doc, wouldn't

it be nice if we all had a doc that was only concerned with finding the answers

+ the solutions? Just once? yeah, the good 'ole doc could defintely use a course

in bed side manner,(and even though he's " fictional " ), he's smart as

$%^#!!............. I would take that over bed side manner just once!!  With all

the " lame-a** " docs I have seen, that had neither the knowledge, the care of my

well being OR the bed side manner, I'd take a knuckle head - pill popping doc

that wanted to find an anwser in a minute!!

Have a great 4th everyone!!

Yes, we all would like a doctor with at least SOME of the attributes

of House.

But I do have some good doctors. I like my endocrinologist, but I tell

him that he makes me do all the work, LOL. I also like my rheumy, and

I think he takes good care of me. But I absolutely loved my former

rheumy, who relocated to Atlanta.

Amen to that, !! Even if it took him a whole hour like it does on TV -

LOLOLOL - seriously, though. I wish there were more doctors like him that are

more concerned with getting to the source of the problem rather than how many

patients they can see in an hour......Doreen

My daughter endured another nail biopsy on Wednesday. When prescribing pain

meds, her doctors talked to us about this. Their take: Tylenol (acetaminophen)

is the most dangerous OTC medication on the market. Why? Liver Damage.

Because of the way it has been marketed in the past, people feel that Tylenol is

safe to take with anything... INCLUDING Vicodin and Percocet. When people do not

get relief from heavy duty pain meds, they will add Tylenol.

At first they prescribed Tylenol #3, warning: NO ADDITIONAL TYLENOL. They had to

up her to Vicodin and again: NO ADDITIONAL TYLENOL!

I have a feeling this is going to get ugly!

Ban Is Advised on 2 Top Pills for Pain Relief

By GARDINER HARRIS

Published: June 30, 2009

ADELPHI, Md. — A federal advisory panel voted narrowly on Tuesday to

recommend a ban on Percocet and Vicodin, two of the most popular

prescription painkillers in the world, because of their effects on the

liver.

The two drugs combine a narcotic with acetaminophen, the ingredient

found in popular over-the-counter products like Tylenol and Excedrin.

High doses of acetaminophen are a leading cause of liver damage, and

the panel noted that patients who take Percocet and Vicodin for long

periods often need higher and higher doses to achieve the same effect.

Happy 4th of July everyone...

I read the article on the ban and I am TOTAllY confused. Are they banning them

when they are combined w/ OTC or banning them both indivually? I take percocet

on a daily basis; would this ban prohibte my doc from prescribing it for me? I

don't take OTC stuff because of my RA meds and pain meds. I know how many to

take my medication, I don't abuse my meds. Am I just SOL now?!?!?

,

The FDA hasn't banned them yet, but they probably will. If they do,

both Percocet and Vicodin will no longer be available.
