My adult son had an accident while riding his bike 6 weeks ago. He was hit by a car and thrown from his bike about 30 feet. He had 2 rib fractures and various bruises and contusions, a large hematoma. Subsequently he developed severe groin pain, which has not been diagnosed. What kind of specialist should he see?

I just had a weird artery twitch on the side of my neck, about where I would take my pulse, which lasted for about a minute. I have been taking lasix off and on due to increased fluid. I am on disability for IC and have some other medical issues that are probably not related. What could this twitch be and should I be concerned?

My husband used a cholesterol meter and it showed 'LO' instead of a number. What does 'LO' mean, and what should we do about it? Additionally, my husband had high blood pressure and was taken to the hospital recently. We discovered our medical insurance was canceled, and we are currently without coverage. How can we get a blood test done without insurance?

I'm a 16-year-old who started my period 2 weeks ago, and it ended for about 4 days, but now it seems to be back. I've been bleeding as if it's a period for the past 3 days. I am not a virgin, but haven't had sex since June. I'm worried it could be an STD or pregnancy. Are you in any pain? How regular are your periods? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?
