Minimal Scar

Minimal scar surgery uses modern techniques to reduce scars and avoid visible scarring. Minimal-incision or endoscopic surgery is performed using a tiny fiber optic lens inserted through half-inch incisions placed inconspicuously in your skin. The camera lens is connected to a video screen, allowing for visualization of the surgery. The surgeon makes small incisions for the insertion of tiny scalpels, scissors and retractors. The surgeon performs the procedure while viewing the television monitor and manipulating the tiny instruments externally. Minimal-incision surgery is particularly useful with younger patients, where the removal of excess skin is not required.

Driving Drunk

Driving a two-ton vehicle sober is itself a formidable task, requiring the driver to give unadulterated attention. Attempting to drive after consuming any alcohol is not a good idea even, if the blood alcohol level of the driver is not at the legal limit of .08. Alcohol consumption impairment varies from person to person. Weight, gender, the amount of food a person has eaten and the speed at which a person drinks factor into how quickly someone becomes impaired. Since alcohol tolerance has a number of variables at play, it is best to err on the side of caution and not drink and drive at all. Here is what current research indicates about blood alcohol levels and its impact on impairment.
At a .02 blood alcohol level, a person begins to have an altered relaxed mood with some loss of judgment. When driving this person may have a decline in visual acuity, decreasing the ability to track moving objects and a decline in the ability to perform two tasks at the same time.

.05 Blood Alcohol Level

At a .05 blood alcohol level a person starts to feel good, with lowered alertness and decreased inhibition. A person may also exhibit exaggerated behavior, impaired judgment and the loss of small- muscle control, like the ability to focus the eyes. When behind the wheel with this blood alcohol level, the driver will have reduced coordination, a decline in steering agility, reduced ability to track two moving objects and a decline in the ability to respond to an emergency.
When a person reaches a blood alcohol level of .08, muscle coordination becomes poor. This affects balance, speech, vision, reaction time and hearing. The Judgment, reasoning, memory and self-control of a person become impaired and the person loses the ability to detect danger. A driver will experience impaired concentration, speed control, perception and short-term memory loss in addition to a reduction in information processing capability, the ability to process signal detection and visual search.
When a person reaches a blood alcohol level of .10, the person experiences a deterioration of reaction time and control, slurred speech and poor coordination. When driving, there is a reduced ability to maintain lanes and brake efficiently. After drinking use the foot mode of transportation or have someone else do the driving.
