I’m having pain in my groin area, specifically on the left side, radiating to my lower left back. I’m a 22-year-old morbidly obese female, and the pain started about 2 hours ago, shortly after my period ended. I have a large stomach, and the pain is underneath it. I don’t have any urinary symptoms or bowel complaints, but the pain has persisted since last night, though it was temporarily relieved by taking naproxen.

My mother is in CCU in Las Cruces, NM, on a ventilator due to COPD. Her oxygen levels were at 52 and CO2 at 94, necessitating ventilation. Now, her oxygen levels range from 84 to 92, and CO2 is at 51. She needs a tracheotomy but we're having difficulty finding a doctor. If she needs to be transferred to a more competent hospital, how do I initiate that process?

I was badly injured in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) and have been in pain for 2 years. My doctor's office is closed due to COVID-19. How can I get my pain medication (narcotic)? I am located in Cape Breton, NS, and COVID-19 is widespread enough to scare me from going to the ER. I have no cough, fever, or shortness of breath, and my only medical issue is the injuries from the MVA. I can't eat, sleep, or concentrate.

I was filing my lighter and the lighter fluid hit my lip when I flicked the lighter. I washed my lip off with soap and drank some water. Will I be okay? I feel okay, I don't feel sick or anything. I have anxiety and can be paranoid. My family said nothing to worry about. What should I do? Do I need to go to the hospital?
