I have several health concerns including Guillain-Barré syndrome, meningitis, memory loss, the possibility of blood clots, and sudden vision loss. I also worry about health anxiety and eye drooping. Can you provide information on the risks, symptoms, and treatments for these conditions, and help me understand if my concerns are valid?

My friend, aged 83, has had two to three boil-like infections on the last digit of her finger for several months. They appear to be infected boils with a hard tip. She is currently being treated for gout, but these symptoms do not resemble gout. What could these boils be, and what should be done to treat them?

My wife, 79 years old, had a mastectomy on September 23, 2019 (left side) and has been developing seroma since October 2. The surgeon has been draining the fluid, but it keeps recurring. The surgeon plans to monitor for 3 months and may refer her to a plastic surgeon for reconstruction if the seroma doesn't resolve. I'm concerned about the ongoing issue and seeking a second opinion, but the doctor I was referred to wanted to transfer me to another associate, which I declined. What can we do now? My wife is on several medications including Benicar, Clopidogrel Bisulfate, Anastrozole, and Alendronate Sodium. She was not prescribed antibiotics after discharge. Should we ask our surgeon for a referral to a plastic surgeon, and will this affect our relationship with her?
