The metal on my bread maker pan (Model SD-BT66P) is showing significant wear marks where the blade comes in close proximity to two 'ribs' which are on diagonally opposite sides of the pan. Given damage to the pan and metal loss, I am wondering if this presents any health problems either through metal being swallowed or some type of chemical reaction when eating the bread. I have two small grandkids and I'm concerned.

How strong is the Ceftriaxone shot 500mg? What should this do? What are the side effects?

My wife is 70 years old and has had two back surgeries in the last six months, experiencing leg pain and a small stroke on the right side. She was sent home after being hospitalized for slight bowel inconsistency but seems to be worse now, with symptoms including memory issues, confusion, and easy falling asleep. Her blood pressure is 65/41 and her temperature is low at 94.3°F in one ear and 96°F in the other. Should we go to the emergency room?

I suddenly heard a noise in a very quiet environment, which stopped when I spoke or made noise. I have anxiety and migraines, and I'm worried if my anxiety could have amplified a normal symptom. I've had tests for vertigo and a brain MRI, both negative. What could this noise be?

I had laparoscopic repair of hiatal hernia 8 days ago. Today I have a slightly high eosinophils count (552). Could the surgery have triggered this, as in infection or inflammation from surgery? I also have a head cold (runny nose, cough, etc.) -- could the high eosinophils indicate 'fighting a cold'? I have a follow-up with the surgeon in 1 week. Do I need to be concerned and take any action before then? Thank you.
