All of us -- men and women -- should keep our medical appointments. I address this post to guys, however, given my own reluctance to go to the doctor. Well, no more. For me, it has been a matter of life and death, in the past, particularly.

Most recently, though, it was more a matter of being comfortable. Somehow, I missed my last year's annual visit to the urologist. I was forced to go two weeks ago in order to renew my Doxazosin [Cardura(n)] scrip. This visit, I remembered to bring a list of questions. The usual question related to my getting up 6 to 8 times a night to go to the bathroom. Simple solution -- increase my dosage of Doxazosin.

Now, instead of awakening every 60 to 75 minutes, i sleep 3 to 4 hours at a stretch, needing to get up twice a night. I wake up feeling great!

Your thoughts, Guys, on this are appreciated.

Gratefully, . . .

Greetings:

As often noted by our forum members, identical subjects are posted but on new threads, by different people. Yesterday, I asked a question on a medical issue that has been discussed dozens of times. I posted on an older thread that related closest to my thoughts. As has happened many times before, there was no response.

Therefore, is it better to start a "New Topic," rather than post on an appropriate but older thread?

Thank you.

What is your opinion of the news media?

by minimus in

to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

A little journalistic history, which is new to me:

The Spanish-American War is often referred to as the first "media war." During the 1890s, journalism that sensationalized—and sometimes even manufactured—dramatic events was a powerful force that helped propel the United States into war with Spain. Led by newspaper owners William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, journalism of the 1890s used melodrama, romance, and hyperbole to sell millions of newspapers--a style that became known as yellow journalism.

The term yellow journalism came from a popular New York World comic called "Hogan's Alley," which featured a yellow-dressed character named the "the yellow kid." Determined to compete with Pulitzer's World in every way, rival New York Journal owner William Randolph Hearst copied Pulitzer's sensationalist style and even hired "Hogan's Alley" artist R.F. Outcault away from the World. In response, Pulitzer commissioned another cartoonist to create a second yellow kid. Soon, the sensationalist press of the 1890s became a competition between the "yellow kids," and the journalistic style was coined "yellow journalism."
