Advice from peers and ';Dr. Google' can be questionable.The Ultimate College Student Health Handbookprovides accurate, trustworthy, evidence-based medical information (served with a dose of humor) to reduce anxiety and stress and help set appropriate expectations for more than fifty common issues.What if you can't sleep well (or can't sleep at all) in your dorm room? What if a pill ';gets stuck' in your throat? What if your roommate falls asleep (or passes out) wearing contacts, and wakes up with one painfully stuck? Your friend's terrible sore throat isn't Strep or Mono? What else could it be? What should you do for food poisoning? When do you really needX-rays for a sprained ankle or injured toe? What helps severe test anxiety or fear of public speaking?Dr. Jill Grimes has the answer to these questions and many more. Her guidebook is designed to help you:Decide if and when to seek medical helpKnow what to expect when you get therePlan for the worst-case scenario if you don't seek helpLearn how you can prevent this in the futureRealize what you can do right now, before you see a doctorUnderstand the diagnostic and treatment optionsGot questions about tattoos, smoking, vaping, pot, and piercings? No worries, Dr. Grimes has covered those topics, too, as well as a few things you might not know about the use and abuse of stimulant (ADHD) prescription medications.Pair this book with the DIY First Aid Kit detailed in the bonus section to help you, your roommates, and your friends have a healthier, happier semester!
