  • How can I find more information about Annie Corcoran?

    My grandmother's sister, Annie Corcoran, was taken to Bellevue Hospital because she had hemophilia. Since it was rare in females, she was used as a case study. I don't know where to start to find out more information about her. My grandmother is deceased and my aunt can't find any info on here.

    Can someone here help?

  • What causes a rash on your stomach?

    I have little red dots on my stomach (obviously a skin rash) that just appeared a few days ago. I haven't used anything different in terms of detergent or body products. What can cause this? It doesn't itch and seems to spread every few days. I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

    As a side note, I'm going to the doctor soon if it doesn't clear up.

  • What should I do? I was issued a credit but not for the correct amount that was promised in writing.?

    I bought my brother a subscription to a magazine. I got the wrong magazine so I cancelled it, getting most of the amount I originally paid. I just received my credit card bill that shows the credit and it's short four cents. It's only four cents but I still feel like I need to tell someone. What are the proper steps to follow? I couldn't find anything on the magazine's web site. Should I call the company or my credit card company first?

  • How can we help warn people that they are in abusive relationships?

    I was in an abusive relationship and I know that the person I was with does it again and again. How can I warn the girl he's with now what he's like? I know she has a MySpace account but they also live together and they may read each other's email. She just had a baby with him and I'm afraid for their safety.

    Please note that I was not able to press charges against him as I had no proof other than my word against his.

  • What kind of research has been done on how special ed teachers are treated differently from other teachers?

    My boyfriend is working on his thesis and he needs some assistance finding some primary sources. He hasn't been able to find that much about this topic. He needs to find primary sources about how special ed teachers are treated differently from other teachers. For example, how it's not considered a worthy field to go in within education, why special ed teachers don't get the same level of respect, among their peers, etc. Any help or guidance into particular authors or research would be greatly appreciated.

    I think I might have computer vision syndrome. My job involves using a computer to answer mostly emails, with some phone calls. I also like to check my email when I get home as I'm not allowed to at work. Are there any tips you can think of to help me get through the next couple of days? I won't be able to go to the optometrist for almost two weeks, due to my busy schedule.

    By the way, I'm using Refresh Tears for my eyes in the meantime.

  • What types of drug tests are performed when you join a company?

    This is my first full-time job, in which I will be working at corporate headquarters. I just got my first hire kit and one of the forms included is a drug test release form. I have no problem with the purpose of the drug test as I have nothing to hide (I'm completely clean). I'm curious to know what drug test types are more common? Hair samples? Urine sample? Blood sample? I get nervous with people taking blood from me as I'm not very good with needles. I would like to prepare myself for it if a blood sample is commonly used. Thanks!
