Going to the HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM is never a good time.
There’s no good food, the chairs are uncomfortable, there are germs everywhere… the hospital is not the place that you want to go to if you don’t already have a reason to be there.
So in the guise of helping parents, researchers at the NATIONWIDE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL IN COLUMBUS, OHIO went through thousands of child emergency room records from 2001 to 2009 to see if there were any trends in PREVENTABLE EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS that could be discovered through the data.
The theory is that if parents were aware of why children were going to the emergency room, maybe they could be more aware of those situations and prevent them from occuring in the first place.

What your sleep habits say about you

These go-getters tend to piss off everyone else around them, don’t they?
Every summer, you see it at the local Target or Wal-Mart: endcap after endcap of bug repellent and mosquito sprays.
OFF!, Cutter. Avon Skin-So-Soft. Wrist bands, citronella candles — there are tons of products that claim to repel mosquitos. Some do a fairly good job, others not as much. Then there’s the whole question of whether you should go DEET or DEET-FREE in your annoying bug management plan.

Web Watch has always thought that it would be interesting to see an “all drugs allowed” Olympics.
Let anyone who wanted to compete fire up the latest steroid or health enhancement and duke it out. Everything would be on the up-and-up and open — which would be the key. All competitors would have to openly admit to what they were doping and be tested to prove it.
But you could do whatever you want. In that type of wide-open sporting environment, let’s break some records with an asterisk to see what the human body could be stretched to do if given the chance.

Do you suffer from any health conditions that you can’t explain?
Have you tried absolutely everything that’s available over-the-counter, to no avail?
Perhaps, Web Watch reader, the issue isn’t something that can be solved with a Little Yellow Pill, but rather by changing your underwear.
This is a two part question for Web Watch readers:
a) for the women: do you have a tramp stamp, ie a tattoo on your lower back just above your butt crack?
Okay, now put your hands down. Next question:
b) for the men: what do you think of women with a lower back tattoo?
When was the last time you went to the dentist?
Do you go once or twice a year? Or have you avoided going to the dentist unless it’s absolutely necessary to pay a visit to have a cavity filled or a root canal?
