When your child is sick or injured, every protective, nurturing feeling you have as a parent comes rushing forward. It’s difficult to think about anything except your child, and doing whatever you can to relieve their suffering – right NOW!

Getting quality medical care, without feeling like you’re a number or the next piece on the assembly line is getting harder. The days of having the same family doctor who treated you, and your parents and now your kids, have gone the way of house calls. Doctors today are feeling the pressure too. They are being told to see more patients and given less time to do it in. In fact, with HMO’s, health insurance cutbacks, and over-booked appointments, you might not have that much time to talk to your child’s doctor during a well-child checkup, let alone now, when your child is sick!

That’s why it’s important to have a form that you keep in your child’s medical file in your child’s medical file that you can pull out and use when your child is sick.

In order to decide about the best treatment for your child, your doctor is going to need the answers to some very specific questions.

You can create a form yourself on your computer in less than an hour, and it will work for every member of your family. It will let you keep track of the treatment you’re giving your child, monitor his/her symptoms, and provide the doctor all the information she needs.

The form should also include a section where you can write down the questions you’ve got, because once you’re on the phone or visiting with the doctor, chances are that you’ll forget something.

Here is a checklist of information your doctor needs to know:

First of all, your doctor is going to need your child’s name, age, date of birth and weight. So put a place at the top of the form where you can fill that information in. You might also want to include the date for your own records.

Separate the rest of the form into the following sections in a way that makes sense to you. (The examples given might help you come up with your own ideas).

1. Symptoms. What is the location, duration and character of the discomfort? What brought it on? Is there anything that aggravates the symptoms? Has anything relieved the symptoms? When is the last time your child had anything to eat or drink? What? When? How much? What was your child doing at the time the discomfort began?

2. Medications: Is your child currently taking any medications? What about herbal supplements? Vitamins? Anything for pain, fever, nausea, diarrhea? List the substance, the dose in milligrams and when it was last administered. Is your child on any medication for a chronic condition?

3. Previous Medical History: What is your child’s previous medical condition? (This could be a chronic illness like diabetes or Crohn’s disease, any major childhood illnesses, etc.) The doctor will want to know about anything chronic (long-term) or anything recent. Is your child allergic to any medications, food or other substances?

4. Previous Surgeries or hospitalizations (within the last 12 to 18 months): Has your child had any previous surgeries? (appendectomy, tonsillitis, etc.) If so, when? Who was the doctor? What hospital? When? Has your child ever been admitted to the hospital? If so, when? For what reason? How long were they a patient? If you have copies of hospitalization records and procedure reports in your child’s medical report, make sure you take them with you if you need to see the doctor.

5. Current course of action. Does your child have a fever? If so, when did it start? How high is it? When did you check it? (How did you check it? axillary, orally, rectally?) Did you give him some medication to bring it down? If so, what and how much? When? Has your child thrown up? Does your child have a headache? What action have you taken to relieve the symptoms?(This part of your form is so you can tell the doctor what you’ve been doing and when.

6. Finally, you want to have a section for your questions. That way you can write them down as you think about them, so that when you do talk to the doctor, you’ll know exactly what you want to ask, and won’t forget anything. Some things you might want to ask about include:
What symptoms should I watch out for? When should I call you again, or bring my child in? What do you think is causing my child’s sickness? Is there more than one condition that could be causing it?

Keeping track of this information and having it available for your child’s doctor will help him to decide on a course of action, and treat your child appropriately, so that he/she gets feeling better as quickly as possible. And, that’s what you want too!

We have all heard the expression, “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” But to carry on without thinking about why you failed only leads to more failure.

The ability to create is a God given gift. A gift given to everyone without exception. Thought is the first step to manifesting any creation. Thoughts are energy, they are real. Your thoughts act as magnets and attract other thoughts, people, and circumstances that harmonize with them.

Thoughts operate and adhere to certain universal laws. Without these laws there would be no order; the universe itself would sink into chaos.

The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like. Much of what was once considered metaphysical, esoteric knowledge in the past is now scientific fact. Physics has shown that the principles involved in the Law of Attraction are every bit as valid as those governing the Law of Gravity. So it should come as no surprise that dwelling only on your problems simply attracts more problems.

The idea of attracting success by thinking about it is very appealing. So appealing in fact, people often get the wrong impression that it’s easy. Affirmations can be helpful, but mindless affirmations alone have no real value. On the other hand, once an affirmation becomes part of your belief system the subconscious goes to work attracting opportunities. It is not the success itself we attract, but the opportunity to succeed.

Our world is ruled by cause and effect, yet we often fail to see how this rule applies to the thoughts we think. This happens because the results of our thoughts are so far removed from the cause that we fail to see the connection.

The subconscious mind is working tirelessly 24 hours a day. It doesn’t analyze, it doesn’t judge, it simply accepts and attracts more of what the conscious mind is focused on. Are you attracting problems or solutions? By focusing on desire and showing gratitude for what you already have, the subconscious mind is given the necessary material to provide a constant stream of opportunities. Whether we take advantage of these opportunities or not is another story.

It’s impossible to operate outside the law of attraction. Consciously or unconsciously your thoughts, feelings, and emotions, determine if this law works for or against you. Stay focused on your success and reaching your goals. As one success leads to another, success becomes a habit. Problems and obstacles are seen as no more than stepping stones on the road to your ultimate goal.

You have joined a great business and you want to create a downline to make it a success. Or you have found something that you believe will interest a good majority of the web users.

You make your decision to begin a mass emailing campaign. Have you got what it takes to write an email and get the replies flying in?

Most of us send out emails almost every day we do it so often with out even thinking about it, as a result they are often written and sent out less than perfect and fail to produce the desired result.

The purpose of sending out mass email is usually intended to attract visitors to view a website rather than make a sale, therefore it is important to take your time and define your aim precisely before writing the email.

Keep it simple and brief; avoid using long or technical words as some people may not understand them. Do not use three words where one will suffice. If the email is long and full of waffle boredom will set in and without a doubt it is likely to be deleted before reaching the end of it.

The opening paragraph is vital. If it does not click with the reader right away you have wasted your time sending it.

Even the best writers spend time editing and rewriting their article or email.

Start with an eye catching headline. It might be a question or statement. You must grab their attention right away. Look at it from your readers point of view, is it forceful enough or exciting to make you want to read on and discover the end result?

Headlines hook prospects and lead them to the next line. There you start to build their interest to ensure they read the next sentence… and each subsequent one.

You might even find it is worth offering a free gift or a monthly newsletter that would help their business. There are plenty of free e-books on the web that you can give away.

If the intention of your email is to make a sale then offer a guarantee or a full refund this should dispel any fears they may have.

A cheeky way to test out your email is to send it to a couple of friends who are interested in business, add a message at the end of it and ask them to email you.

If you don’t receive a reply then you know your email was discarded before they reached your message, it is then a good idea to edit your email and remove any unneeded text.
