My father is in the hospital with gangrene. They amputated his left leg above the knee, and he now has it in his blood system. They are not giving him antibiotics, and he hasn't been responsive. He is in a long-term care facility called Kindred in Louisville. We want to get him to an acute hospital to save his life, but they are not cooperating. What should I do?

I am 20 days late for my period, and I've taken 2 pregnancy tests which were both negative. Could I still be pregnant? I am also nursing my 2-year-old, could this affect my period?

I've been sick for a couple of days and now it feels like there's a lump in my throat that causes hiccups and a gag reflex, especially when I swallow. I threw up two days ago and had massive heartburn, followed by this lump feeling. What could this be, and what can I do to alleviate it?

I have periods that last for an average of 3 weeks, with a heavy flow and passing of clots for most of that time, which then lightens toward the end. What could cause this, and is it serious? The doctor has done a pelvic ultrasound, which showed everything is normal.
