How to Cope With a Slipped Disk (Real Examples)07 Nov

Paula Corrigan

Paula Corrigan is a company manager working in Cumbria. One day, while at work, she was holding a heavy box and turned – immediately she felt a shooting pain from her hip to leg. It was so bad that she had to be off work for a few days. She rested and felt better, but then on and off the pain would flare up.

Her doctor recommended pain killers and physiotherapy, but she did not feel better after all these treatments. Finally she was diagnosed with a slipped disc pressing on her sciatic nerve which was causing so much pain. She was referred to Christopher Gerber, a consultant neurosurgeon at Newcastle General Hospital, who advised her to go in for surgery.

She underwent the microdisketomy and had two large fragments the size of a squashed pea removed from her disk. She is now feeling much better and can walk normally, without the help of a walking stick or a limp.

How to Understand Acid Reflux20 Sep

Acid reflux is a term used to describe a condition, in which acid from the stomach flows back into the esophagus, which causes discomfort and pain. The pain and discomfort is called heartburn.

The esophagus is the tube that is in between the back of your throat (pharynx) and the stomach. The esophagus as defined by the Medilexicon’s Medical Dictionary has three parts including the cervical, the thoracic, and the abdominal. The esophageal sphincter is found where the stomach and the esophagus meet. The stomach creates potent acids and enzymes during the digestion process.

At this point, where the stomach and esophagus meet is a valve known as the lower esophageal sphincter, which is suppose to stop the acids and enzymes from going into esophagus. If the valve becomes weak, the juices can seep upwards into esophagus causing acid reflux.

Philip’s Rise As a Financial Advisor07 Apr

Philip Calandra left the corporate world in 2005, leaving a six figure salary and perks behind because he wanted to help ‘real people’. In his own words, ‘Our average American citizen is even exploited by our city, county, state and federal governments, yet they are the most important element of our society. They play by the rules, but keep getting shafted. They and their children deserve much better treatment. I wanted to serve them and truly help them protect their financial worth and improve their financial futures’

He spent $15,000 on coaching and training materials as an investment. Being an accomplished speaker and presenter and having great interpersonal people skills and knowing his strengths and weaknesses helped him a great deal. Though he started from the ground, he did his work sincerely and well and was able to notch up half a million dollars in the first year alone.
