I had a severe reaction to a procedure where Buprivacaine was used in a pump, which I was told is against FDA guidelines for topical numbing agents in pumps. After experiencing significant pain and loss of leg movement, I was treated in the ER and eventually recovered. What should I do about this situation, and how can I address it with the neurologist who installed the pump incorrectly?

If someone in the house started this morning with what I suspect to be a stomach virus (vomiting and diarrhea), is there a big chance of me catching it? I have an upcoming vacation at the beginning of May, and I'm afraid of catching this.

My mother is 72 years old and has a history of atherosclerosis, heart attack, high blood pressure, loss of one kidney, and peripheral vascular disease. She recently developed another aortic aneurysm and was hospitalized with acute ischemic bowel disease. She was told she is not a candidate for surgery. Currently, she is at home, in constant pain, and taking pain medication four times a day. What can we expect as her health deteriorates, and what can we do to make her comfortable?
