One Arizona medical malpractice law that deals with a doctor's admission of negligence is called the "I'm Sorry" law. This Arizona medical malpractice law is designed to shield doctors from unwarranted lawsuits brought by individuals that would use a physician's admission of regret and feelings of sorrow as affirmative statements of fault or negligence. The Arizona medical malpractice law was created to limit the amount of claims brought against...more
We use and abuse them every day! Our hands, we clean and scrub, we pick things up, open close doors and typing on our computers! We open cans and jars, put shoes on, buckle children's car seats, turn knobs, dials, the list goes on. While most of us rub lotion on our hands this only takes care of the skin. Sure this helps after we wash dishes and counters, but it doesn't take care of muscles or joints. Guess what does? A good hand massage does....more
We all know the healing powers of heat and the sun. When we go to the beach, the hot sand feels great on our muscles and bones. There is a therapeutic way to get the benefit of this feeling, without all the sand. It feels even better. It isn't anything new! It's hot stone massage. I was a little cynical when I first heard about and was reluctant to try it. However, when I first had one, I was hooked. The professional who will perform this is in a clinical environment with sanitary tools (stones). They are kept in boiling water to inhibit the growth of bacteria. The therapist will be trained and certified. He/she will use tools or gloves to remove the stones from the water when they are needed for a client and this keeps them sanitary. The stones used for this are the ones used through the ages and the history of hot stone massage. They are smooth basalt stones. These retain heat very well and are believed to have energizing properties. Another great thing about this type of massage is that it is easier on the hands of the massage therapist as the tools are used to apply pressure. The stones are laid out on both sides of the spine, delivering heat to the body. The...more

Early menopause occurs before age 46 and it's a problem because it can more than double the risk of having a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular problem. Surprisingly, hormone replacement therapy does not appear to help. Doctors had been prescribing hormone replacement to prevent heart disease, which is the number one killer disease of women in the U.S.The average age for menopause is 51, and a study started in 2000 involved more than 2,500 women between 45 and 84 to learn more about early menopause. Almost 28 percent of the women in the study reported early menopause; 18 percent had natural menopause and 10 percent went into menopause when their ovaries were removed.Before age 55, no woman in the study had angina (chest pain), a heart attack or stroke, heart bypass surgery or a suddenly stopped heart. After 55, women who had early menopause were more likely to have had at least one of these problems than women who did not experience early menopause. Even when researchers controlled for extra weight gain, early menopause was an indicator of more than doubled risk for these heart problems.The researchers found that almost 6 percent of the women who went though...more
