#Questions patients should be asking their doctors

by Sagar Nigwekar, MD and James Sutton, RPA-C

Tips for Talking to Your Doctor

Entering a doctor’s office can be like entering a different world. There are often “rules” and “protocols” that the doctor, nurses, and staff follow that you may not be familiar with. This book offers some very helpful questions for you to have an intelligent conversation with your doctor, but there are other things that can be helpful in making the office visit better.

When you think about the patient/doctor relationship, the word “relationship” is very important. The typical doctor has 2000 to 3000 patients, most of whom they see only once or twice a year. Seeing 20 to 30 of these patients each day, most doctors have only professional relationships with their patients and the majority of their patients are known by just a name and whatever information is in the medical record.

Getting Around Boston

Boston Neighborhoods

Boston, the capital of Massachusetts and the largest city in New England, features neighborhoods with names and identities that still hold strong to their colonial beginnings. Most neighborhoods began as cities of their own before they were incorporated as one. Therefore, many streets may have a duplicate in other parts of town.

Downtown

Accessible via South Station, Aquarium, State Street and Downtown Crossing subway stations.

Downtown Boston is the most tourist-heavy area, with most of the city's highlights, including the start of the 2 -mile Freedom Trail and the Boston Tea Party site. Families should start their city tour here for the Children's Museum and the New England Aquarium alone. Downtown is also the commercial and financial heart of the city, so modern offices share blocks with historic buildings and colonial sites. Saunter along Washington Street and stumb ... Read more »

Boston Experts

Boston is a fantastic "foodie" city, full of award-winning and innovative restaurants, but if you have a food allergy it can be a frustrating place to try and enjoy the local scene. For all their acclaim, Boston chefs are not known for being the friendliest toward food allergies (some that I know personally have even balked at taking the time to label their menus), but it's still entirely possible to eat well and safely in Boston. Your best bet is to start by heading across the Charles River.

What are the five best things to see and do in Boston?

Boston may be a small city, but it is filled with endless sites and activities. Whether you re here to taken in historical sights or feast your way through the wide variety of cuisines and restaurants you ll find here, the list of things to see and do in Boston is long. Here are five of our favorites:

1. Take a stroll. Boston is one of America s most walkable cities (and you might miss something if you re traveling by car) so ditch your wheels and hit the pavement. Begin with a cruise down Newbury Street for some of the best shopping around. The shops closest to the Public Garden tend toward luxury fashion and jewelry (think Chanel and Cartier), while those at the Massachusetts Avenue are decidedly more entry level (including independent music store Newbury Comics and Urban Outfitters). In between is a mix of mass market fashion (Banana Republic, True Religion, American Apparel) and independ ... Read more »

By Sonja Haller, The Arizona Republic

Customers lured by convenience and promises of the best deal are booking more trips online.

But is Internet booking always the better way to go? That depends on the traveler and the type of trip.

The general rule is that the more complicated or expensive the itinerary, the better it is to book through a travel agent.

"The more components you add to your trip hotel, plane tickets, etc. the more you should consider a travel agent," says Chris Elliott, National Geographic Traveler magazine's ombudsman and syndicated travel columnist. "The other thing, a human agent has the experience of visiting a hotel or a ship or a part of town. There's nothing like walking into an agency and talking to someone who has been there."

Jim Vallas of Phoenix, a frequent international and domestic traveler for business and pleasure, says more than anything people should consider their personality.

Best Travel Sites

Once upon a time, only millionaires visited Paris for the weekend.

These days, anyone with a credit card and Internet access can take off for a three-day jaunt to Europe. They can bid for a cheap hotel room, book a rental car and pinpoint and secure the last window seat left on a commercial flight–all the day before leaving. In comparison, flying the Concorde seems almost archaic.

The world is more accessible than ever, and that is good news for travel consumers. But the real success story concerns the Internet companies that make online travel services available to the public.

After the dot-com bubble burst five years ago, practically the only Web companies that didn’t vanish were the travel sites. Take Sabre Holdings ‘ Travelocity. which was founded in 1996. Travelocity had revenue of $830 million on bookings of $7.4 billion in 2005. What bubble?

Best Airline Rewards Programs

How We Picked the Best Travel Rewards Programs

It's easy to feel enticed by an airline or a hotel loyalty program. After all, who wouldn't want a free flight, a room upgrade or other lucrative benefits? The catch as any program loyalist can attest is that maximizing travel rewards can be challenging. While it's often easy to join a program, attaining meaningful perks and rewards may come with a string of caveats. So how can you tell if a program is worth your time and effort?

To create the third annual rankings, U.S. News editors evaluated each loyalty program based on key attributes, such as the size and diversity of each airline or hotel network and how quickly you can accumulate enough miles or points to earn a free flight or hotel stay. Our rankings also take into account the number of ways you can use rewards and the added benefits you receive as a member.

Precipitation (in)

Cape Town's summer season sees the most tourism, with travelers flocking from all over the world to take advantage of the city's sprawling beaches and outdoor attractions. You'll want to book your accommodations several months in advance to ensure availability. The weather during this season is warm but not overwhelming, with average daytime highs ranging from the mid- to high 70s.

Autumn in Cape Town is the ideal time for lovers of vino. The temperature drops, and the tourist exodus signifies the start of the annual wine harvest. Many of the wineries in and around Cape Town allow visitors to participate in the gathering and juicing of grapes. Even if you're not into wine, fall is still a great time to visit. Daytime temperatures range from the high 60s to mid-70s, and hotels begin to lower their prices in preparation for the low season.

Cape Town is relatively free of tourists during the winter months, meaning th ... Read more »

You have a test while questionAsked 11 but don't use that name anywhere else in your code. You certainly never defined it. You probably wanted to test questionsAsked (with an s ) instead.

There are other problems, however. The loop should continue while you have fewer than 11 questions asked, not more. You also call test() twice, you should only call it once each loop. In your loop you use questionsAnswered but never defined that either and don't increment questionsAsked ; you probably meant to increment the latter:

Now test() is only called the once. Both your branches incremented questionsAsked. I moved that out of the tests, and now you no longer need to check if the test failed.

Since you start counting at zero. you want to test for 10. not 11 .

Instead of a while loop, you could use a for loop using the range() function:

#Questions to Ask a Potential Pediatrician or Family Doctor

Finding a doctor is hard. Not because good doctors are hard to come by; there are many good diagnosticians out there. It is finding doctor that takes time on you, a doctor that listens to your concerns and questions and addresses them in a way that is not rushed, not demeaning, and is thorough, is what is difficult. Unfortunately, this is the nature of the medical system today. Now, it is bad enough when dealing with these issues and your own health, but dealing with these issues concerning your child’s health is enough to make a parent scream. The process of finding a good pediatrician or family doctor for your child can be daunting, but if you interview the doctor and ask the right questions, you may be able to save yourself a lot of time dealing with a doctor with mediocre bedside manner.

Here is a list of questions you should ask a potential pediatrician or family doctor.

1. Think in advance

From time to time your trip will be fairly spontaneous. Unfortunately, generally speaking flight tickets prices will increase significantly in the last month and more so over the last few days before a flight. It's simple supply and demand. The further out you can book, the cheaper you're plane ticket will be.

2. Last Minute Deals

In contrast to tip 1, there are some airlines that will not fill up their flight and will try to sell the last few tickets very cheaply. If you're not stressed about waiting around at an airport for several hours, you can even go on a waiting list to get cheap flights as the day progresses.

Leave a Comment

25 Hi all!

I looked through these discussion boards a lot while I was preparing for the NCLEX, and I told myself that I would come back to share my experience if i passed. I also wanted to share my experience because I got stressed out reading about others' preparation on this site because it seemed like everyone was doing so much more than I was. I want to show that it is possible to prepare for the NCLEX in 3 weeks without using a plethora of prep tools. I took the NCLEX on January 21, 2015 and passed in 75 questions. Here is what worked for me:

BEFORE THE EXAM

I graduated from my accelerated BSN program in the middle of December. I moved back to my hometown and did not do anything nursing related until I bought the Kaplan Q bank (the Q bank ONL ... Read more »

Bermuda Vacations

Use the quote box at left to price Bermuda hotels.

Bermuda is a series of islands joined by causeways and bridges. Too far north to be part of the Caribbean, the country's isolation in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean between North America and Europe, coupled with a history of English settlement, make it unique.

Bermuda is spotlessly clean, quaint and extraordinarily pretty. From its incredible pink-sand beaches to the colonial architecture of the tidy homes that line its roads and the fragrant tropical flowers that drape its old stone walls, Bermuda is a sight for sore eyes.

Throughout its early history, Bermuda had to defend itself against the Spanish, the French and the threat of invasion by the newly formed Republic of the United States. During World War II, the tiny island played a significant role in keeping the vital North Atlantic sea lanes open. As a result of this colorful past, Bermuda is home to a nu ... Read more »

Bermuda Travel Tips

Keep in Mind.

• There's more than one Bermuda Most people think of Bermuda as one island, but in reality, it's an archipelago of more than 100. Tourist activity is largely concentrated on the largest of the chain, which is also known as Bermuda.
• There's no Caribbean anywhere in sight Calling Bermuda "Caribbean" has confused a lot of travelers. In reality, these islands are off the coast of North Carolina.
• U.S. dollars are accepted Bermuda is certainly expensive, but its dollar is on par with the U.S. dollar, which is widely accepted. Save yourself some trouble and pay for everything ... Read more »

Getting Around Bermuda

Bermuda Neighborhoods

Although Bermuda consists of many islands, its largest island a 21-square-mile J-shaped mass that's also called Bermuda is where most visitors spend their time. The main island is divided into regions known as parishes. The airport is located on the east (in St. George's Parish) and many of the resorts are down south (in Southampton, Warwick, Pembroke and Paget parishes). The majority of restaurants, nightlife and lodging is concentrated in the center of the island, in the capital of Hamilton in Pembroke Parish.

Picturesque Sandys Parish is something special. Hilly and lush, it's the home of Somerset Long Bay, the largest public beach in the west end. Boaz Island, Ireland Island and Watford Island also make up the parish and are all connected by bridge.

Though it lacks the intimacy of Sandys, Southampton Parish is perfect for those looking for Bermuda's trademark pink beaches namely, the po ... Read more »

Best Budget Beaches

#Answers to Google Interview Questions

1. What's the next number in this sequence: 10, 9, 60, 90, 70, 66 … ?

A. Spell the numbers out:

Ten

Nine

Sixty

Ninety

Seventy

Sixty-six

They are in ascending order, based on the number of letters in the spelled-out numbers. A correct response will have nine letters: 96, for instance. A cleverer answer is one googol. That's the huge number that can be written as a 1 with a hundred zeros after it. Google, the company's name, was originally a misspelling of googol.

#Job Interview Question: ‘Do You Have Any Questions for Me?’

Preparing for an interview can be overwhelming. You have to put your hopes and dreams into words, not to mention put together the most professional outfit you own. And then there are the interview questions; “Where do you see yourself in five years?” is a tough one. So is “Why did you leave your last job?”

New model from Exodus Camper Trailers

The Kingston

I was privileged to meet up with Ian Simpson recently to check over the prototype of the soon to be released Kingston, a new model in the Exodus Campers range. For those who have been following these write ups, you will realise Ian doesn't hang around is constantly looking at ways to improve the campers he produces.

When he pulled up I quickly noticed that the new Kingston was very different from the previous models. The campers sandwiched foam fibreglass shell had been extended towards the rear at a neat angle with plenty of departure clearance. Gone was the open-ended box trailer other models sat on. Instead the Kingston is placed on a steel flatbed trailer giving plenty of protection underneath from flying rocks over gravel roads. The production models will have a hot dipped galvanised trailer.

Bermuda Travel Guide

At barely 20 square miles, Bermuda’s total area is dwarfed by its own reputation as one of the world’s most beautiful beach destinations. It’s crystal clear waters and pink sand beaches attract tens of thousands of vacationers a year, as do the ship wreaks and coral reefs that lie close to shore. But there’s also plenty to see on the surface. An overseas territory of the United Kingdom, Bermuda has been involved in many of history’s major events dating back as far as the English Civil War of the mid 1600s. If you travel to Bermuda, you’ll see signs of these historical moments and also ruins dating back to both World Wars. Sports fans will be interested in the island’s athletic accomplishments: there are several Bermudian rugby clubs, the island boasts an impressive roster on their national cricket team, and they even hosted the New York Yankees’ spring training in 1913. People of all ages will have something to enjoy when they visit Ber ... Read more »
