...Running Head: THE BOTAX The Botax Andrew K. Keahiolalo Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract There is a new tax being proposed in some states, ironically not California, to tax plastic surgery and related procedures. Through out the course of this document, we will discuss the effects of the tax. Including the relationship between the industry and demand and price, and who will actually pay the tax in the end. The view of this paper is through the eyes of a brand new economist (my self); which is to say that is lacking any profound breakthroughs in economics. It is, however, the issue as I see it, sprinkled with a little humor. Enjoy. The Botax The primal instinct to procreate is in all forms of life. We project our best attributes forward in the hopes that someone might recognize those attributes as necessary in their offspring. We have created a monster. Today a lie is just as good as the truth. To those that can afford it, they can look like what ever they want. Hell, there is a guy in the mid west that is making him self look like a lizard! Medical science can wipe the acne off your face, give you twenty-twenty vision in twenty minuets, and grant instant confidence to the insecure through a vast variety of surgical procedures. This has caught the eye of various state legislatures, and they want in on the action...

...never been an easy task. Have you ever considered liposuction. There have been many side effects associated with the procedure, such as pain and swelling. Nobody is a fan of those symptoms. If you are looking for all the benefits, with much fewer side effects, you may want to look into laser assisted liposuction. This combination of technologies has helped many people get rid of excess fat, while dramatically increasing recovery time and decreasing side effects. The basic premise behind liposuction is simply sucking fat cells out from your body. The suction happens through small cuts made in your body, and a tube being inserted to suck the fat out. The tube is somewhat like a mini vacuum cleaner made for fat. Once the fat...

...Guillot may be able to treat your gynecomastia using liposuction in and of itself. A male breast reduction via liposuction only requires a small incision on each breast. The incision may be within the armpit or along the edge of the areola. Through these tiny incisions, Dr. Guillot removes excess fat.

...needs of the patient. Dr. Gershenbaum and his staff know that each patient is unique; therefore, not every patient will need the same procedures in their Mommy Makeover plan. For this reason, Dr. Gershenbaum tailors each Mommy Makeover plan he creates to meet the needs of a specific patient. Procedures frequently incorporated into a Mommy Makeover in Miami include: An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) A breast augmentation (breast implant surgery) A Mastopexy (breast lift) Liposuction/Liposculpture (to remove excess fat deposits and contour the body) The Elasticity of the Skin and Fascia The elasticity of a woman’s skin and fascia are inherited traits. The elasticity characteristics of her skin and fascia determine how successful a woman’s body will be at addressing the stretched skin on her abdomen as well as on the other areas of the body. During a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Gershenbaum in Miami, the excess skin on the abdomen can be addressed with an abdominoplasty and liposuction/Liposculpture. How Pregnancy Affects the Abdomen The hormones produced during pregnancy create an environment to support the growth of a healthy baby: However, these hormones also cause the mother’s body to change. Abdominal Stretch Marks As the mother's abdominal skin stretches, her dermis (second layer of skin, directly beneath the epidermis) tears. Although her epidermis (outermost layer of skin) remains intact, stretch marks result. Unfortunately, this excess, overstretched skin...

...Title: Get Down and Shape Up Everyone wants to have the perfect body. Everybody wants it fast, everybody wants it now. Though it is not the most popular route towards the perfect body, there is really no better way to have that perfect body other than to start weight loss exercises together with a smart diet. It is very important that these two always go together. Why? You burn the most fat and your calorie intake is minimal. Secondly, to put these two together will give you faster results. If one is missing then you will just be wasting your efforts and will be achieving minimal results. A smart diet will help your body recover from the intensity of your exercise without compromising your body and your health. A smart diet will also help you lose the unwanted weight in you by reducing your body’s intake of fattening food thus gaining less than what you sweat in your exercise. Hence, weight loss exercise together with a smart diet program is the only way to healthily lose weight and leaving one or the other out does not get you the desired results. A lot of people are getting this wrong. Some are too lazy to do it properly. Or do both for that matter. People must know that there are no shortcuts to this if they want the best results. No drugs, no surgeries, no pills, or any alternatives will be better than exercise and diet. Besides, most of those are not effective and they have their side effects. Let me share my experience with exercising independent from diet and vice versa...

According to "Legal-Medical-Ethical Issues" (2003), “A physician is civilly liable for his actions; the law is that tort negligence by the physicians may be punishable by dollar damages.

The usual basis of a professional liability claim is negligence; the physician has a legal duty; when the actions of such physician did not fulfill such duty harm may reset. Negligence is established by showing that without the physician’s actions, or inactions, the result would not have occurred. Physicians...

(Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit for pain management?” Bi, X., Effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on pain in patients with spinal cord injury: a randomized controlled trial. Journal of Physical Therapy Science 27: 23-25 (2014). Xia Bi, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Shanghai Gongli Hospital, China, focused his research on investigating the effectiveness with using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on patients in pain due to a spinal cord injury. Bi states that there have been many clinical papers that have reported positive effects of TENS in pain management but controversy exists over which conditions can be treated using this method. He states that if TENS were shown to be effective method of alleviating pain in Spinal Cord Injury (SPI) patients, it would decrease medical costs and improve quality of life. Bi discusses how their results are consistent with those of previous studies (Celik EC, The effect of low frequency TENS in the treatment of neuropathic pain in patients with spinal cord injury) which reported the effectiveness of TENS in the pain relief of SCI patients. The study had several limitation which were mention in the paper stating that the sample size of subjects was insufficient for generalization of the results, a follow up was not performed, and lastly they did not compare the efficacy of low frequency TENS...
