what is the definition of sexual harassment?

Q: recently encountered a rather disturbing experience, i didn’t like it, felt abit disturbed and uneasy, but i was wondering if it was counted as sexual harassment. so anyway, there is a guy i knew, but i wasn’t close to him at all. then one day i was online he started talking to me, and somehow a normal conversation escalated into a weird (sick to me) topic. i didnt like it…he started off saying how he has abscess and that is already gross enough, and started explicitly describing how he has it all over him. as in you know… ALL over him. (rolls eyes) and describing how things look like and stuff. please help. im kinda scared now. i mean, yeah, it was just talking online, not like talking straight face to face. but still, it really grosses me out. so… please help!

A: it’s sexual harassment if you wish death upon him.

Do you think MLB hall of famer Mickey Mantle took steroids?

Q: The new book “Cooperstown Confidential” claims that Mickey Mantle used steroids, and an injection of amphetamines and steroids was what caused the abscess that held Mantle out of games in 1961.Here is a part of the articleI believe baseball is the product of its times, and if Cooperstown is supposed to be the game’s official chronicler, it can’t ignore the Steroids Era and those who played in it without failing at its task. It’s part of the game’s history. Omitting it, and the players who gave it life, turns the Hall into George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth – which, of course, did not deal in truth at all.Look, I understand the other side of this. I’ve made its case many times. I also know the Hall’s rules include something called the “integrity clause,” which by definition every juicer from the Steroids Era violated.But I also know this: The Hall is jammed with players who violated the integrity clause. As Chafets points out, two members (Tris Speaker and Rogers Hornsby) were members of the Ku Klux Klan. DiMaggio had serious mob connections. Ty Cobb bragged about killing a man and getting away with it; Grover Cleveland Alexander pitched drunk when alcohol was a banned substance.If you’re going to bar Barry Bonds, Manny Ramirez, Roger Clemens and who knows how many other juicers/suspected juicers for violating the integrity clause, what do you do about the Speakers and Hornsbys and DiMaggios and Cobbs? What do you do about all the Hall of Famers who used PEDs – including the many players who gobbled amphetamines at a time when they were as common as aspirin in major league clubhouses?http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20090601/SPORTS0203/306019969/1092/SPORTS05If this is true we should just put every steroid user in the Hall of fame. And if he used steroids I would not be shocked if many others did who are in the HOF.When I first read this I was like WTF, is somebody joking, thats crazy if it ever turns out to be true. Makes you think did former players back then really pass up PED’s?

A: I’m not buying this book… I really don’t think he did.

A: If you are trying to make a patients medical report out of this then begin with (this sounds like a dermatology case to me)Present illness: Describe what was the complaint that brought the patient to the doctor in the first place. Describe the symptoms that the patient felt eg. diaphoretic (sweating), pruritis (itchy) rash(describe the rash type ( macular, papular, petechial) etc.Past Medical History: Prior skin diseases(pediculosis) etc. Previous surgeries, biopsies, medications, treatments etcFamily History (if needed)Physical Examination : What the physician has found (rashes etc)Assess the patient: What did the MD think is going on>Plan the treatment and follow-up;That ought to do it. Good Luck
