On call. I am a 38-year-old junior executive. My work gets good marks from my supervisors, but I have a problem that may hamper my career. Every time I have to make a presentation, I get terribly nervous, making it very hard for me to get through my talk. I've heard there is a pill that can help, but I don't want to take tranquilizers. What do you suggest?

Ask the doctor. A heart attack caused me to develop heart rhythm problems. These made it necessary for me to get an implantable cardioventer/defibrillator (ICD) that can shock my heart back to a normal rhythm. My medical story is a lot like Vice President Dick Cheney's, but my social situation isn't--I don't have anyone to drive me around. My doctor doesn't want me to drive. But depending on friends and family is a major problem, and we don't live near public transportation. Any suggestions?

I had an ultrasound of my heart recently, and the technician performing it wouldn't tell me anything about what he saw. He said I would have to wait for my doctor to call me. It's been two days now, and I'm still waiting. Don't you think patients should be able to get a least some preliminary information sooner? The same thing happened to me last year when I had an MRI.

On call. I was recently diagnosed with gout. I'm feeling well with medication, but my doctor want me to take drugs for my cholesterol and blood pressure because gout will raise my risk of heart attack. I don't want to take more pills. What do you think?
