what happens if you sign a false statement to the health dept.?

March 122010


someone i know signed that he apprenticed someone in tattoos and he did not. now the man is a liscened artist and was not trained by him.

Signing a false statement is called perjury. If a lawsuit comes in the future, the person who signed the false statement could face monetary and jail time penalties.


With birth control like the depo shot why cant women go to the health dept and get it?

March 102010

Its free, just think we might not have the abortion topic like it is now if all women that play will be responsible and get on some form of birth control and stop using abortion as a birth control method.
no one is saying about rape. harm or death to the mother im talking about being responsible.

I agree, I have been saying this forever. The ridicules amount of money we pay in taxes and the millions Planned Parenthood make in profit. Should certainly go towards birth control!

@Annamarie 1% of abortions preformed is due to rape. 1% incest. 3% the mothers health, and the rest birth control.

@Westhill Most people know what they are doing when having sex. Sex ed is not the problem. Ignorance is. Each year, about two percent of women aged 15-44 have an abortion; 47% of them have had at least one previous abortion.

Will the health dept help me?

March 82010

If you have read my other question on here you know I have a bad (rotting) tooth. I think I remember taking my son to this doc. office where it was cheaper to take your children to for health reasons. I am 24yrs old and I need this tooth pulled VERY badly. Will the health dept refer me to a place that could help?

Best to call and ask them for any referrals, however I doubt they will be able to do anything for you. Do you live any universities? The dental clinics are offered extremely cheaper and work with you on payments, since this is how the students intern to become the full charging dentists.

Aids testing at Health Dept what is 2 be expected – are other things tested 4 as well?

March 62010

Is it a blood test or swab..i wasnt given much info when i attempted speaking with them over the phone and was hoping to get more insight on what to expect. Thanks!

They more than likely will take a blood sample since this is cheaper to do and the Health Department often provides free or low-cost care. However, you may get lucky and have an oral swab taken from inside your cheek. Both methods are effective. The blood draw will only cause a little pinch of pain and then it is over.
They probably will not test for anything else unless you request it. I would request full STD testing if you are concerned about having HIV just to make sure everything else is okay.

Can I terminate my lease early if my water smells bad and is dark gray but tested safe at the health dept?

March 42010

We had our water tested at the health department and they said it was safe, but it smells really bad like rotten eggs and it comes out gray. Can we terminate our lease for that? Or make our landlord fix it? We chlorinated the well, but it only fixed the problem for about a week and a half.

You can get a charcoal filter to mount at Sears or someplace like that. They go right under the sink. They are pretty simple to install, and take the smell right out of the water. When the smell starts to come back it is time to change the filter. Lease? No, sorry. That is just well water in some parts of the country.

Would you report to the health Dept. if a law was broken?

March 22010

My daughter (14yo) went tanning without my permission and got burned pretty bad, it’s the law that a parent sign permission for underage children, they fired the employee but should I tell the health department?

You could report it to the health department. But your daughter being 14 knows better, and I would be punishing her in some way so she learns her lesson.
She needs to take responsibility for her actions.

Do pregnancy test 7 days after your missed period.If you do too soon may have wrong result because pregnancy hormone level not yet high enough.
Good chance that you are pregnant.-pulling out no good.Some sperm released before ejaculation

Does the health dept have the right to dig up my yard due to a contractor not getting permits for a sept systm

February 242010

The job was done a year ago. I am not sure if I should send a copy of the contract to the health dept as requested. Who will be responsible for my landscaping if they dig it up? I just got it all redone. The person from the health dept said they are trying to make a case against the contractor, but I’m worried they will just use the information we give to dig up our entire yard.

Yes, unfortunately they have the right to dig it up and see if it’s done correctly according to city/county/state standards. They also have an obligation to cause as little disruption and damage as possible in so doing. Take pictures of how it looks before they start, and again afterwards. If they tear it up without fixing it, use the pictures as evidence and make a formal request (in writing) to the agency for them to put it back how it was.
You should send them a copy of the contract — if it says the contractor is responsible for getting permits, and he didn’t, you are completely covered and it’s all his fault.

Good luck!
