I love your case studies on Rabies, not only are they better than watching any horror movie they also prove that doctors screw up on a regular basis. Every single case study involves a person being treated and streeted 3 or 4 and in some cases, 5 times before they get a diagnosis, of course by the time they do get diagnosed they are 80 percent dead. Usually they get the boot after a simple blood workup and some type of scan, first without any pain medication, just Flexeril. Second trip involves a more extensive workup with the doctors dropping the ball again, sometimes at the same hospital and an RX for Hydrocodone or Oyxcodone, probably no more than 12 pills. Doubtless by this point the poor patient likely cant even stand up. Its not until the 3rd or 4th trip, after the patient has had seizure that their illness is taken seriously.

Not so much as a review, as a complaint. I cannot understand how you think that you (CDC) know more about my care than my Doctor. I served my country for more than 20 years as an combat infantryman. I have chronic pain. I take spinal injections, neck injections, and surgeries on my spine which left me in worse shape than before and has not really addressed the issue, which is my body is wore out. Pain management is by only help, which includes opioids. Which i have been taken successfully for 15 years. Not to mention I live in an area which i have to drive nearly a hundred miles just to see my doctor. This is a hardship, I cant imagine having to make this trip once a week. When you make recommendations and off the cuff decisions, remember they affect real people.

IT IS TIME - Those who are making the new rules concerning the use of pain killers get out of the office and visit an extended care facility. One size does not fit all. My wife had a stroke over 10 months ago, she gets extreme pain on her flaccid side with a 5 minute period at random, to the point she is crying and cannot stand the pain. I am with her every day and know what she goes through. When a Doctor states we need to use Tylenol now, I explain it is great for headaches, for severe pain flush it down the toilet. Wait to it is your loved one suffering from pain, you will immediately recommend different guidelines. Are these the new Obama Healthcare guidelines? NOTICE CDC - We treat our pets better than humans. Welcome to the Real world.

If I could give you a zero stars I would. I called to ask whether my pregnant co-worker should travel to Orlando (Orange County) this Saturday. According to the reports there are 40 reported cases of Zika Virus in Orange County. All I wanted was a human answer to a question of whether a pregnant woman should really make that visit. You know what I received ?A canned, scripted answer that appeared to attempt to preserve Floridas tourism trade. This same motivation was demonstrated this morning on the national news shows by Floridas Governor. My question to the CDC representative was "would he send his wife or daughter on this trip" and he said he could not give me that answer (recorded line). I have no faith in the CDC.

We came looking for help as we were in desperate need. I was banging on the door but no one answered and my best mate Shane told me to leave it but I didnt I knew someone was in there because I saw the camera move. Eventually we were let in by a lone scientist with an M4A1. All seemed great at the start we had food, water, shelter and basic necessities to survive. I put my stuff and thangs down and settled then BUT THEN Dr Jenner the whacko told us he was gonna blow up the building and tried to kill us too but we convinced him and we legged it out and got to the cars. THEN BOOM MASSIVE EXPLOSION AND NO MORE CDC! What a lousy guy all we did was come for help and he tried to kill us!

Your advertisment linking smoking and ostomies was misinformed, misguided and offensive. Crohns disease, irritable bowel syndrome, Hirsprungs disease and many other physical problems are NOT linked to smoking at all. Bladder cancer has a stronger link to smoking than colon cancer but to focus on a pouch with the implication that it is disgusting adds so much more pain to those who have no choice and have done nothing to cause their problem. The CDC should be a trusted source of information. I hope you can apologise to all those you hurt by this ad. You have affected years of work by pouch companies, ostomy nurses, physicians, support groups. Please brainstorm how you can fix this.

Well I especially have not been there like. In the fact that the flu virus outbreak thats one across the United States even though that has killed some people or I am Washington State its still a great company because theyre trying to help us get flu shots . Well its still good company because the CDC we need them if theres ever a outbreak we need them to help us and if theres a way I could get into 8 million star actually 4 kazillion star because they are an excellent company that spot and then if we dont have them I would think that we would all be like like that. So clap your hands the CDC sorry I meant to the CDC . Thank you , Washington state map service

I think it is time that people with Lyme disease got a fair shake from the CDC. It is a legitimate affliction....and has come with many diagnosiss, before they actually identify the persons illness and then the treatment could take as long as six months to get it under control and they still have flares. Please this is America and we should be on top of this...Medicine in this country appears sometimes to be living in the dark ages we cant cure everything with mud. Get on board and recognize this disease so people can get the help they need.....medically and financially.....Thank You Still I think you are doing a great job in all other areas......

After spending over an hour completing one of the on-line trainings the site did not allow me to obtain the certificate of attendance. I entered the error in the websites email with no response. Now I am preparing to send a letter. The courses are wonderful and having free on-line access is a great benefit, however, more attention needs to be made to participants access to the certificates, the certificates offered needs to be updated in the CDC database as my test number WB1279 was not listed at all, and when we report a problem someone needs to respond. Having access to such an excellent array of research articles is a great resource for students.
