Last week I went with a friend to look for a job for us because the next year we'll go to live together in Girona or in Barcelona and we need a job. First of all, we went to an office and we left the curriculum there. We did the same in all the offices, the restaurants and the shops in general that are in my town. After a lot of hours around the town we went home to relax. 

The next day the phone rang, it was the director of one of the office where we left the curriculum. He said that they would like to interview my friend and for that reason they have contacted us. They told us that we must go to their office the following day to do the interview and to also assess other skills that my friend may have or need. 

Finally they told to us that if she is not successful they will contact us whenever possible to give us feedback. Finally, my friend got the job and her boss told us she's the successful candidate. But that's not all.. the phone never rang only time, I've got job too!!! 

NEWS 6 - Doctors have successfully separated conjoined twins in China!

The twin sisters were born on October 30th last year in China. They were born with abdominal skin joined from their chest to their navels and also had two connecter livers. Doctors have successfully separated conjoined twins at China's southwest hospital the last week. The operation was for five hours approximately. They are in the intesive care units to recover from the sugery. This case of birth is very unusual considering that it occurs one every 200.000 live births and about 70% are female. It believes that conjoined twins develop from a single fertilised egg that fails to separate completely as it divides.

OPINION

I really love this kind of news. First of all, because facts like this suggery make me happy because it means that we're making a lot of progress in this century given that few years ago this kind of problems were more complicated to solutionate than nowadays. And, secondly because if the doctors weren't been able to do this sophisticated surgey, life of these twin sisters would have been very limited

NEWS 5 - Solution stops snoring

Dr.Daniel Hanley, an independent medical doctor have been found a snoring solution but those treatments can sometimes be quite painful.

The “Snoring Solution” chinstrap is available exclusively from the company’s website, which is currently offering a limited time “2 for 1” offer this works by supporting the lower jaw and tongue, preventing obstruction of the airway.

It’s made from a high-tech, lightweight, and super-comfortable material.  Thousands of people have used the MySnoringSolution chinstrap and reported better sleeping, and better health overall because of it.

Over 18 million Americans snore, and it’s related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). People who suffer from OSA repeatedly and unknowingly stop breathing during the night due to a complete or partial obstruction of their airway.  It occurs when the jaw, throat, and tongue muscles relax, blocking the airway used to breathe.  The resulting lack of oxygen can last for a minute or longer, and occur hundreds of times each night. Obstructive Sleep Apnea has been linked to acid reflux, frequent nightime urination, memory loss, stroke, depression, diabetes, heart attack. Furthermore people over thirty have higher risk than other .

I think this invention is very useful because there are a lot of people who suffers snoring but if it will be cheaper, more people could use it and will became more popular. The prize is 119 dollars and I think is too much, but if it works and truly stops snoring, I will buy it for my family's snoring ..

NEWS 4 - How a doctor’s words can make you ill

Have you ever visited a doctor, and come away feeling they weren’t much help? 

Experiments have shown that simply warning people about certain side effects can actually make them more likely to experience the nausea, fatigue, headaches or diarrhoea. Even when they have been assigned innocuous pills rather than an active drug.

In extreme circumstances it could even be deadly, as we recently explored in our article “The contagious thought that could kill you”.  

One study found that depressed patients given placebo pills by an empathetic doctor ended up with better results than those taking an active drug from a psychiatrist who seemed less concerned about their welfare.

Paul Dieppe says “Healing is a real phenomenon. We all have the ability to self-heal in many conditions and that can be activated by our interactions with other people”

OPINION

The turth is that our doctors should be aware that they are manipulating health of people. In my opinion, our health is the most important aspect in our lifes, and they doesn't have to alarms their patients with possible side effects in view of the fact that it probably  will not happens.  Considering that it is showed that the health state can help, in some cases, improve the disease
