A “chemical” stress test is when they increase your heart rate with drugs because you can’t handle exercise. You will feel a pressure on your chest and a feeling of, as the textbooks call it, “impending doom”. Often patients feel very anxious during this part. You may think you can’t handle it and you’re going to die. Hang in there.
I have a question for you medical folks out there. Today I went to get a mammogram. My appointment was at 1 pm. The whole thing takes maybe ten minutes in itself. The tech told me I’d get a note in my online chart within a few days with the results. Nothing unusual there. I left the appointment, ran some errands, came back home and fired up the computer to add the items I’d bought to my ...
The Iowa Assessments (previously the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and originally Iowa Every Pupil Test of Basic Skills) also known informally as the Iowa Tests, formerly known as the ITBS tests or the Iowa Basics, are standardized tests provided as a service to schools by the College of Education of the University of Iowa.
Grossman had been out on a 2 million dollar bond. I’m pleasantly surprised her high dollar attorney’s didn’t get her off. Her Mercedes black box evidence and witnesses were compelling. It was a hit and run but the Mercedes accident sensor shut the car down a few blocks past the accident. Grossman will certainly appeal and drag this out another few years.

Having read too many submarine novels and lacking enough real information I’ve always taken it on faith that during fast descents and fast ascents the hull of the submarine will make popping and/or creaking noises due to the rapid pressure changes. SubmarineDopers, any truth to this? On a related note, I’ve flown on many commercial aircraft that seem to make rather fast ascents (to my mind ...
I’ve been seeing ads lately for oily glue—a type of glue I hadn’t heard of until now. A bit of searching on Amazon shows that there are several different brands of this stuff, which suggests it isn’t a new invention. Brands include Tree Frog, Jue-Fish, Welding, and SXhyf. The ads make the stuff look amazing, of course. They show it bonding things instantly, and claim it doesn’t cause ...
The words “I” and “a” are universally-annagrammable: every possible arrangement of letters in the words (or permutation, or anagram) is an English word. Of course, since there’s only one way to arrange the letters in a one-letter word, that’s not very remarkable. For two-letter words, “on” is universally anagrammable: "on and “no” are words, and those are the only two ...
There is such a thing as being a ‘cuff reactor’. Some people can’t ever get a good reading from a single result because of fear of doctors, the stress of a medical test, etc. Fear of pain could also cause the same thing I would guess. I have never heard of a blood pressure test being painful but you are the expert on what you feel.
I remember that a question that I remember someone raising in high school chemistry was whether there were any opaque gasses. Most people know that there are clear solids (quartz, diamond, water), clear liquids (water, ethanol), clear gasses (nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide), and that there are opaque solids (calcite, iron, malachite), and opaque liquids (mercury, most any metal when melted ...
