Since 1994, I have lived in the south east of Spain, known as the Costa Blanca, the coastal region alongside the Mediterranean sea and the inland area known as the Vega Baja situated in the south of the Alicante province. The Spanish people are extremely friendly, although like most countries, the bureaucracy can be a pain in rump. The health care system compares very favourably with Great Britain and is miles ahead of America. For those people living here in the Valencia Community and registered on the padron at their local town hall, health care is free. Private health care also costs far less. Residence is a right for European Union citizens and for others a reasonable income, such as a pension...

Presidential campaign rhetoric about how to control skyrocketing health care costs provides only short-term solutions focused on the sticker price.

Medicare, the government's single payer model for seniors, spent $267 billion. Analysts project national health care expenditures to reach $3.1 trillion by 2012 - nearly twice the amount...

On average, a woman gains between 25 and 35 pounds during her pregnancy. During and labor and immediately after delivery a new mother might shed 10 to 15 pounds of that. This leaves from 10 to 25 additional pounds of weight left on the new mom's "new" body. It can be a source of great shock, disappointment, frustration, and despair to a woman to discover that after giving birth she can no longer fit into the clothes she wore prior to the pregnancy. Losing weight after pregnancy is not a fool's errand, but neither is it an easy errand; it requires patience, a realistic attitude, a positive outlook, and when it comes down to it - persistence and dedication. A realistic outlook by any means is to...

Once a veteran has achieved service connection for his or her disability, the next question to be addressed is somehow evaluating (or rating) the severity of the symptoms to determine the appropriate level of compensation.

The rating schedule is designed to compensate veterans based on the average impairment of their industrial (or earning) capacity. Explained simply, the rating schedule is a collection of disabilities, grouped by body systems that delineate a group of different symptoms in an increasing order of severity.

Sadly sometimes children are faced with medical problems usually associated with adults and adult behavior. While the age difference between children and adults can be substantial, the negative impacts can be as severe with a child as it is with an adult. Sometimes the child's negative impact can be more dramatic and harmful than the adults. When this happens, it is unfortunate that the children haven't built up the strength or immunity to fight it. The effects of insomnia in children can be quite dramatic. There are a number of residual effects with a child that suffers from bouts of insomnia. These effects can make the child's life very difficult. Difficulty in school, an inability to maintain a...

Certified physician assistants (PA's) have been a reality in the medical field since 1965, when the program began at Duke University.

These models do not provide an exhaustive picture of the two cultures, but they do illustrate the fundamental differences between them. One question may arise regarding the Chinese model: Why should Confucian ideology and the past tradition, rather than other contemporary forces, be looked on as the working determinants for today's Chinese culture? An explanatory argument, not an answer to the question, could point to the following: 1) over the long history of the Chinese civilization, Confucian ideology has been firmly established as an undeniable system...

True preventive health care is nonexistent for most Americans. That's because traditional medicine focuses on treatment of symptoms, and that's not prevention. Our health care system operates like the old barn door - it's left open and then the farmer tries to figure out why the horses ran off. Preventive or "alternative" medicine is available, but it's not the norm. You have to be informed enough, open minded enough and have enough money to get it. If you find a traditionally trained physician who integrates alternative medicine into his or her practice, and still takes your insurance, you are in luck. Most often you will not be in luck because alternative practitioners are usually fed up with the...
