Furry white tongues come in two varieties: a little furry and very furry. A little furry is fine – it’s the normal layer of bacteria that every tongue should have. A very furry tongue is often not fine – especially if it’s a thick and cheesy-looking white fur coating.

Well, it’s that time of the year again! Just last week alone four of my clients were out sick with the flu, and at least another four friends suffered the same fate. Unfortunately, flu season isn’t over yet, and that means you stand a good chance of being exposed to the virus at some point.

The unfortunate truth about medical errors is that they plague the poor and uninsured, reflecting the great medical inequality in our country. For those who do not consider medical errors to be a problem, consider this: medical errors kill between 44,000 and 98,000 Americans every year.

What we normal folk (as we would like to believe that we are) call a sore throat is referred to in medical terms as pharyngitis. A sore throat can be quite painful when the patient attempts to swallow food or liquids, the soreness from this can be unbearable – so therefore the sufferer tends to go with out – due to their inability to eat – up to an extent where they starve themselves to avoid the discomfort. And if [...]
