I was treated for gonorrhea/chlamydia with ceftriaxone and 1g azithromycin, and my results came back negative. However, I need to wait longer for an accurate syphilis test. Does the treatment mean that potential syphilis would also have been cured?

My 94-year-old mother has a water retention problem and takes coumadin. Her right leg is very swollen, much more than the other leg. Should we take her to the emergency room?

My stools are always thin. If I had colon cancer, would it cause this, and would it show up on a CT scan that was not specifically looking for something in the colon?

I went to dinner last night for my birthday. I had sautéed mushrooms as a side. I took 2 bites and then I realized I need to ask what sauce was used to sauté the mushrooms. The waiter told me the sauce was Marsala wine and teriyaki. I immediately got nervous because I have to take random urine alcohol and etc tests. Well low and behold today I got randomly selected for etg Test. I’m scared I will fail. Is it possible to fail an etg test if I only had 2 bites of mushrooms sautéed in cooked Marsala?
