Drugs and Alcohol Abuse Articles: Are There Different Types of Short-Term Memory?
Question by StoryWeaver: Are there Different Types of Short-Term Memory?
I ask this for a few reasons: one is that I’m just curious, another is that I kind of have poor short-term memory in certain areas but not others. I had a stroke when I was an infant (I’m sixteen now, and despite the doctor’s initial predictions I’m perfectly capable of walking, speaking, and intelligent thought….obviously….) and it has undoubtedly had permanent affects on me. For example, I had a 2-year gross motor delay, same with fine-motor, and I am much weaker on my left side. I’m also partially-blind. But I think I have memory problems too. There are times where I’ll repeat the same question multiple times to my friends without realizing it, and I’m constantly forgetting about plans or commitments that I’ve made. The weird thing is that if I make these plans like two weeks in advance I don’t forget them, but I do if they’re made the day before. Part of me wonders if it’s just severe ADD, but I really do forget some huge things. There are times when my parents ask me how my day was and I suddenly realize that I can’t remember a single thing that happened.
BUT, I *can* remember songs on the piano (and play them by memory), and I’m really good at memorizing lines in a poem or script, and am really good at remembering patterns. That’s kind of why I’m curious as to whether or not there are different types of short-term memory, one that’s patterns while the other’s accumulative maybe. I’m not saying I have a memory disorder, but I am a little worried lol.

What Is an “Accidental Overdose of Prescription Drugs”?
Question by : What is an “accidental overdose of prescription drugs”?
With all the autopsy reports that are published following celebrity deaths none has ever been released for comedian Greg Giraldo. Granted he was not very famous, having done just a few celebrity roasts on Cmedy Central. Nevertheless he was a sort of celebrity. When he died in September, 2010 in New Jersey, the media stated he died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. It was mentioned again and again that it was NOT a suicide attempt. Since Giraldo was discovered unconscipous and died five days later, never regaining consciousness, it seems like it could have been an attempt to hide a sucide to save embarrassment or other reasons.
Cases of Malpractice Involving Alcohol?
Question by Charles Wallace: Cases of malpractice involving alcohol?
Hi everyone. I am writing an issue paper for college that talks about the consequences of drugs and alcohol in the workplace. Can anyone think of any cases where drugs or alcohol was used in the medical field and consequences arose from it?
Also, can you think of any instances where drugs or alcohol has been given to students by teachers?
I can think of a few, but I would like to use more. Perhaps you know of times where this has occured in your communities.
Any input is appreciated.
