WHY BIG BREAST COULD AFFECT YOUR HEALTH
Extremely large breasts can cause numerous problems, not just aesthetically. One study of 31 women who had breast reduction surgery found that 81 percent had neck and back pain, 77 percent had shoulder pain, 58 percent had chafing or rash, 45 percent reported significant limitation in their activity, and 52 percent were unhappy with their appearance.
Interestingly, while the researchers found some connection to the women's weight and physical problems, they found most of the concerns were related more to their breast size than to being overweight.
Having said that, however, I understand how difficult it can be to lose the weight when your breasts are so large that they get in the way of your exercising. Maybe swimming might be a good option, since the weightlessness of the water will take some of the pressure off.
It's also important that you understand that although breast reduction surgery is a common and relatively safe procedure, there are some risks and possible complications. For instance, there may be changes in the way your breasts and nipples feel sensation. If the blood supply is decreased, the nipple area or areas of skin may actually slough off. One way to reduce your risk of complications is to quit smoking. One study found the risk of complications after breast reduction surgery was three times higher in smokers than nonsmokers.
Several different surgical procedures can be used for breast reduction surgery. The one your surgeon uses depends, in part, on how large your breasts are. After the surgery, you will usually wear a post-surgical bra for four weeks, and shouldn't lift anything heavy during that time.

Why The Ambulance Driver wants (Should) to be called "Doctor" in Nigeria
For a
longtime now I have come across so many articles and reports in the national
dailies and in online social media on the rife in the health sector which
centers mainly on the row between doctors and non-doctors working in the
healthcare system. Most of these reports and articles, mostly lopsided, have
one common denominator, presenting the Doctor as an enemy of the people and the
manner of their submissions is such as to draw undue sympathy from the unsuspecting
public. But for the neutral members of the society who have had cause to have
sufficient contact with the hospital environment, I’m not talking of some quasi
journalists, they need not be told, if there are, who the
Angels
and Demons are.
