• I just find out that there is a blood test called Anti-Malignan Antibody (AMAS) that can help to catch cancer at early stage. Does Methodist provide such a blood test? If so, whom should I contact to get the test done. See below link for more information (http://www.ehow.com/how_4862428_detect-nearly-form-of-cancer.html)

• Hi Dr. Walsh My panic attacks have changed and gotten worse. I have had them all my life(my first one was experienced when I was sitting on my tricycle), and it was mostly the feeling of unreality. Now they are more the feeling that I will suffocate along with generally scary thoughts , and the really crazy thing is the wierd feeling I get when I drink something cold or sometimes I will panic in public. I know that's normal for panic sufferers, but being out usually calmed me down becuase I did not want to look foolish. What can I do to get back to normal? I can deal with the old familiar feeling of unreality, but this new form of panic is beyond my coping ability. Thanks for your time.

• I work in an office environment, and for the past 2 weeks my left hand has been extremely sore in the area from where my wrist bends (on top) to my thumb, and over a good portion of that area. I thought it might be carpal tunnel, but I'm not sure. It hurts when I move it the wrong way and when I spread all the fingers open. Do I need to see a doctor? I was taking Aleve twice a day for about 10 days but it is not helping. Also iced it, but no relief.

• My cardiologist gave me directions to get a blood test for choleserol "wherever you have your blood drawn." Up until then I had it done in his office. Because I am now under Medicare, they said they can not do that anymore. So where in the Peoria area do I take his slip paper with what he wants and they will know what to do with no explanation from me?
