With continued home care and weekly appointments, her skin showed very satisfying results.

Dr. Pait Teesalu underwent laser blended vision surgery to correct his -4.00D nearsightedness in both eyes. He was performing over 1,500 cataract surgeries per year and found wearing glasses inconvenient in the operating room. After researching different refractive surgery options, he chose laser blended vision which uses a nonlinear ablation profile to increase depth of field and allow for spectacle-free vision for many years. Over two years post-surgery, his vision remains excellent with 0.00 -0.25 prescription in both eyes and he can still read small print up close. He is convinced laser blended vision will keep him spectacle-free for reading for at least 10 more years.
This document describes a patient's experience becoming physically dependent on prescription opioids after undergoing multiple surgeries for injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. When attempting to wean off the opioids, he experienced severe withdrawal symptoms that no doctor was able to help manage. He had to endure weeks of misery before finally tapering off on his own. The patient argues that physicians have an ethical duty to ensure patients can safely withdraw from addictive medications they prescribe, and that the medical system needs reforms to pain education and responsibilities to better support patients.

This document provides information about cataracts and cataract surgery. It defines a cataract as a clouding of the lens of the eye that causes blurry vision. Risk factors for developing cataracts include older age, UV exposure, steroid or drug use, and diabetes. Symptoms include blurry vision, impaired night vision, faded colors, glare sensitivity, and halos around lights. Cataract surgery is a painless outpatient procedure where the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens to improve vision. Recovery from surgery involves some initial blurry or wavy vision that improves over days, brighter color perception, and follow-up visits with the doctor.
The document discusses useful applications for actuaries, focusing on social networking and apps. It provides an overview of how actuaries can use social networking platforms like LinkedIn.

3. The Bare Essentials of Efudex:1
You should have stayed out of the
sun or used sunscreen (or
both), but it's too late to cry about
it now.
Face it, you have no choice. Just
tough it out and apply the Efudex
and you will get better.
4. The Bare Essentials of Efudex
Treatment 2
The ugly red skin and the pain is only
temporary. Don't worry about how bad you will
look in the short term. You are beating skin
cancer and that's what is important.
After you stop applying Efudex, you will
actually look worse for a week or so before you
start getting better. After that, you will improve
rapidly.
The worst part of the treatment is the reaction
of other people when they see your face.

Treatment 3
Look at the calendar, not at the mirror. You will be
back to normal and cancer free in about 8 weeks.
Treatment with Efudex is better than the
alternative, getting skin cancer.
Finally, the sun is not your friend. Enjoy the
outdoors, but be sensible. Cover up and always
use sunscreen.
Only courage, my child! (Beyond the initial
