In my reading this morning, I found a great article that divulges the truth about many elements regarding surgery that you are unlikely to ever hear or read anywhere else again. These are true confessions from surgeons–directly.

Some of the elements I, myself, have personally discovered through experience, and thankfully didn’t get hurt because I caught the lies. In one situation, a doctor recommended an organ-removal surgery. She tried to scare me that I had a strong potential for cancer, which couldn’t be determined until after the surgery, and if I was her family member, she would schedule me immediately.

It was only after I got a second opinion, and did my homework that I was able to put the pieces together that this doctor was unskilled to do a less dramatic surgery because it was way more complex. It was scary to think that she was willing to take dramatic steps on my body that could have life-long side affects due to her lack of skill and know-how! And this doctor was rated very highly. It blew me away.

If you have 10 minutes to spare today, this is one article I can’t recommend strong enough that you read. I found it to be very true, very honest and revealing about what your surgeon is likely not going to tell you, but YOU NEED TO KNOW!

Here are some of the advice from this article, but don’t stop here–they explain each piece! There is so much more you can learn and it could possibly save you or your loved one’s life one day:

  • If your primary care doctor recommends another doctor, don’t assume it is because he or she is good
  • Some surgeons will not recommend procedures they don’t know how to do (as I stated above)
  • When going into surgery, do you know who your anesthesiologist will be? You should!
  • Mistakes are more common than you think

There are 50 tips in this article–don’t stop here!

Education is a vital tool in exposing liars. Liars hate educated people–take it from me. I know.

Study: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) Makes You Less Empathetic

/4 Comments/in , , /by

This is a chilling study:  If you or anyone you interact with takes acetaminophen, take notice!  It may affect their behavior towards you.  Yes, you read that right. That’s what new research has discovered.

According to research out of Ohio State University, people who take acetaminophen have an immediate change in their ability to empathize or feel pain. It affects both their perceptions of their own pain and ability to empathize, but also how they perceive other’s pain emotionally and physically (once the drug takes affect).

According to the study, acetaminophen also blunts feeling of positive emotions such as joy!

I wonder how acetaminophen affects our facial expressions then. Could it possibly interfere with our ability to make them, and our ability to read them like Botox does?

It’s scary researchers are just discovering this.

It makes you think twice about taking it, doesn’t it?

I am sure the people who take it, myself included, have no indication there are changes going on. I never sensed a change. Have you?

It hints at just how biological we are.  Change one element by introducing a new chemical, and our mood, behavior, or personality can be effected.  Even how we perceive others can change and we can absolutely be in the dark that it is occurring.

So the next time you see someone pop these little white pills, think about your interactions with that person.  Do you really want to ask for a favor at that time?  Maybe immediately after they pop the pills, but don’t wait an hour!  You may regret it.

Dr. Phil had Nick Gordon on a few days back. This time, unlike the last, Nick Gordon wasn’t under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

Did you get to see it?

Gordon was home with some friends when Bobbi Kristina Brown was critically injured in her bathtub and as you know, she died of her injuries.

Gordon tells his story of what happened.

Do you believe him?

Alexander and Emily Fazzino (Dateline)

Did you catch “The Quiet One” on Dateline NBC this past week?

It was the story of Alexander and Emily Fazzino.  Emily, 32, went to take a bath, according to her husband Alexander. He said about 30 minutes after she went up to take a bath, he still heard the water running.  So he went to check on his wife.  He found her in the bathtub purple, with her tongue swollen.

Alexander was arrested and charged with Emily’s murder. He went to trial, and was found not guilty.

After watching the show, I found this article to share some very interesting facts.

What do you think?  Do you think Alexander is innocent or do you think he is lying?

I think there is some fascinating elements to this case.

Expression of the Day: My Thoughts

/2 Comments/in , , , /by

emotions

On May 3, I posted this photo and asked people what they saw when they looked at this expression. I also asked, “If a person did this after you asked them a question, would you think they are lying because they are covering their mouth?”

This is not a universal expression of emotion. It’s just one of many, many facial expressions we make as humans, and while it shows a negative response–that’s about all we can say. There is not enough information to determine anything else.

Some of the potentials one could simply speculate at without forming an opinion would be:

–Thought of something startling, uncomfortable, displeasing
–Tasted something displeasing or possibly burped up something unpleasant
–Saw someone do something unpleasant
–Has a feeling of disbelief over hearing some news, conversation–or seeing a behavior (theft?)

The list could on with other examples, too.

We can’t determine much from this picture other than she felt something negative until we got more information. If I saw a person reacting like this, I would simply say, “Are you okay?” and let the person provide more information.

Now, if you ask someone a question and they give you this response, I do not believe covering the hand over one’s mouth signifies lying. We cover our mouths for many reasons from shock to disbelief to surprise.

A reaction like this could also be as simple as this woman remembering she was supposed to be somewhere, and forgot–totally unrelated to anything anyone said!

While we can see an emotion or expression displayed on someone’s face, we can never be sure of why until we dig deeper.
