LOL, never measured that. But bigger head no relationship with why she can't reach the things I can reach?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:So it is as I suspected then
Her height is contributed mainly by the head and neck...perhaps she has a longer neck and bigger head? 
-
As you said, "My sister's length of the body below her right arm to the toes are shorter than me... ". Unless her arm span is much longer than yours, her effective reach (length of body below the arm + arm span) may be less than yours. Hence she cannot reach the things you can although she is taller because of a possibly longer neck and bigger headOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:LOL, never measured that. But bigger head no relationship with why she can't reach the things I can reach? -
On a side note...there are some vertically challenged people with big heads... and vice versa

Any differences in what they study other than the prescribing medication part?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:A psychiatrist is a medical doctor, a psychologist is not. Psychiatrists can prescribe medication, psychologists cannot. I'll leave it to others to add to the list of differences as an fun exercise.... -
A psychologist deals with the problems of the patients from the point of their character and searches for the reasons of their problems in their lives, relationship to other people and to themselves. He tries to advice them how to solve their problems or he tries to make them realize what is wrong. He tries to open a new view on the life and self esteem of the patients. He helps the patients to have a healthy attitude to their lives and to themselves. A psychologist is like an uncle or auntie to who you can talk about your sorrows and fears and he/she tries to help you. If he discoveres that a patient is mentally sick, he sends him to a psychiatrist.
Alfagal could answer the question about what a psychologist has to study.
A psychiatrist deals with patients who are mentally ill. He searches for the problems of the patients in their physiology and helps them with medicaments.
A psychiatrist has to study medicine, then after graduating he has to make the specialisation. Renorenal can asnwer this better, I think. -

hi all, i posted a thread about panic attacks and was refered to here by alfagal
When and where does your panic attack happens?
-it happens whenever there are situations like when i'm in a small enclosed area wif ppl
-public speaking or presentations
-meeting with strangers such as job interviews
Describe your typical panic attack.
-when it happens, i would feel breathless as if theres lack of oxygen and my heart would beat so fast as if its out of control and also i would sweat as if its from a faulty tap...thats about it
Why does it happen? What triggers it?
-I have no idea what triggers it and why, the only i can think of is the sweating thing which caused embarrassment and also me being easily nervous when it comes to new situations which i have to face
Does it affect your day-to-day functions? eg. sch, work or social basis
-it doesnt affect me on my overall daily functions but only on the sweating part because its kinda embarrassed to be sweating when you're in an aircon room meeting ppl or talking to them.
if theres a medication that helps to stop the sweating issue, i guess theres no issue about the panic attack
Have you seeked medical help before?
-Nope on panic attacks but i once consulted a psycharist on depression but was told by him that i'm not suffering from it and i'm normal so need not continue seeing him
Hope some kind souls would advise me on how to seek treatment or some advises on it....thanks[/b] -

Do all painkillers have some detrimental effects on the liver and kidneys?
-
Short answer. No. Some may have positive effects instead. Studies still ongoing.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:Do all painkillers have some detrimental effects on the liver and kidneys? -
Of the current ones, which ones don't have such side effects?Originally posted by alexkusu:Short answer. No. Some may have positive effects instead. Studies still ongoing. -
they dont study the brands.. they study the components. Some painkillers may contain a combination of these components, while some dont. I forgotten wat it was
perhaps oxford or reno could answer. Reno is a liver/kidney fanatic -

u can visit your family doc for a start, then see what he/she says.
if it still persists, then ask ur family doc to refer ur dad to an eye doc. its cheaper that way, but one disadvantage is that will have to wait.
alternatively, u can go and search in yellow pages, and look for eye doctors...one thing is, their consultation fees would b much higher.
