Dear Batgirl

I think there is a small creature living in my knee. I don't know how to get it out!
Please help.

Love, Geminex

Dear Batgirl
How do I tell if I'm a boy or a girl?
Thanks

I have a serious question, which while it isn't strictly speaking a health question, it's something you most likely know the answer to.

How do you put a nasopharyngeal tube (I believe that's the what nen�onteloputki is in english) on a patient?

e: Actually, while we're at it: In a case of pressure pneumothorax (again, I think that's the correct term but I'm not sure) between which ribs do you stick the needle?

Self surgery is the only answer! Grab a scalpel and a bottle of schnapps and have fun!

Punch yourself in the privates and see if it hurts.

Serious answer: Measure the airway from the nostril to the earlobe. Put it in some water based lubricant or use the patient's own spit, the bevel (pointy part) stays towards the septum of the nose and insert slowly.

It's called a Tension pneumothorax actually, and you stick the needle in the second intercostal space between the second and third rib.

Warts. What works? I swear these things must draw from the last trace bits of adamantium in my body. I should clarify that surgery is off the table (for now).

Hm...Isn't there some kind of freezing procedure that you can get done? You freeze them and they fall off?

So, I got this extra, brownish layer of hard, flaky skin on various spots of my arms and legs. The dermatologist believes I have eczema(Might be how it's spelled?)... but is it really?

Kinda skeptical, since they really wanted me to buy cream and moisturizer directly from them. I'd rather not have to apply various creams to my skin everyday forever until I die.

Yeah, I had that procedure before. That said, it was many many years ago and they probably have evolved the practice since then.
