Obesity has become a curse in a number of countries across the world, especially in the more developed ones. The fast / junk food industry has managed to put a huge strain on already stretched medical facilities that have to cope with a rising demand to handle weight related disorders afflicting the old and young alike. The increase in heart diseases, intestinal problems like acidity, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, flatulence, etc. have become a major cause of worry for health professionals across both economically powerful and the not so powerful countries.

While a lot of effort is being at governmental, community and social levels to get people to live a healthier life and maintain the most appropriate body-mass ratio applicable to the person, it is up to the individual to carry out these recommendations. Diets, surgery and medicines of various types are the most common methods being used to get a grip on this concern and it is becoming necessary for the enlightened to choose the best option and bite the bullet in getting his or her weight down.

This is where Sixty Second Healthcare has made a significant impact with their water based trans-dermal calorie intake management product called ‘Suppress’, which has to be applied to the palm (or any other suitable area) for the effects to register within 60 seconds of application. The way it works is that a feeling of ‘fullness’ is experienced when the formulation is applied, with the effects lasting for several hours. This dietary policeman has the capability of controlling the quantities of food taken during regular meals and can almost completely dissuade from binge eating at other times of the day. It has been clinically proven that a person can lose up to three and a half kilos by sticking to eating controlled quantities of the correct types of food only at meal times, without any snacking in between and this is the clientele that Suppress is targeted towards.

The active ingredient in the product is liquefied green tea extracts (LGTE), which has been historically known to have appetite suppressing properties among many races spread across the Far East. The particular compound in LGTE that does this is called Polycatechins, and it is believed to act by forcing the body’s appetite generation switch in the hypothalamus to suggest the stomach is full and there is no need for fresh ingestions of food, till such time it ‘switches off’. Suppress provides this quality to overweight and obese people in a convenient package which they can use regularly to get back and remain ‘in shape’.

The visual proof of a reduction in weight within a short period of time reinforces the will power of such people and the feel good factor comes into play. The gel comes out in specific quantities from the dispenser and it can be rubbed onto the hands whenever an ‘inappropriate’ hunger arises. The product can be ordered though the company’s website and anyone not satisfied with the product is guaranteed a full refund.

During the last few years the Economy has been on a down swing. Jobs can be hard to come by, especially good career oriented work. But while the economy comes crushing down, the need for health care workers has not.

In health care there is a variety of different professions one can enter into. People choose to be LVN’s, CNA’s, physician assistants, sometimes even doctors. But one profession often times goes unnoticed, And that is surgical Technicians.

Surgical Technicians are medical professionals that are in charge of assisting the surgeons during a procedure. Their responsibilities during a procedure include sterilizing the surgical area, and keeping it sterilized. They also are in charge of sterilizing the tools that are used during the operation and being well versed in their usage and functions. During the procedure a surgical technician is in charge of handing the surgeon each and every tool they ask for. Whether it be the scalpel, the clamps, or suction, the surgical technician needs to be ready to hand the tool to the surgeon quickly. They tend to have added responsibilities depending on which surgeon they are assisting but for the most part those are their main responsibilities.

Unlike other medical professions, the surgical technician schooling is relatively fast and painless. The schooling teaches sterilization, the tools and techniques used for surgery, and clinical lab hours. It can easily be completed in under a year, and more often then not the training center provides job placement.

What really surprises people is how much surgical technicians make. Often times they start out at around eighteen to twenty dollars an hour. However the surgical technician makes most of his or her money by being on call. The surgical Technician is paid for every hour they are on call ina given week. And they can easily be on call for an entire week straight. This means that 24/7 a surgical technician is getting paid for his or her time.

Now that doesn’t come across at first as a lot of money, however imagine being paid every hour of every day for weeks on end. The amount of money the surgical technician makes quickly adds up, and quite simply put, it is not uncommon fo them to clear 100K a year after a few years of employment.

Best of all, while a surgical technician is on call they are simply required to be fifteen minutes from the hospital. So the surgical technician is being paid while they are at home cooking dinner, while they are working out at the gym, while they are playing with their children, they are paid for simply living their lives.

When interviewing a surgical technician last week he explained that he had been on call for the last two weeks. During those two weeks he was only called in twice. He was paid for almost 650 hours while lounging at home playing with his kids!!

The career of Surgical Technicians is often not referenced when deciding which medical profession to go into. However it is quite simply one of the most laid back and rewarding careers a person can choose for themselves.
