I am pregnant with my first child and was told by my obstetrician that in some circumstances an episiotomy is necessary. I thought this was no longer done and that it is actually harmful to the woman and baby. What is correct?

Dear Mayo Clinic:
My son, who is 10, was picked on last year at school. Now he's worried about going back this fall. How can I help ease his fears? At what point does teasing becoming bullying that, as a parent, I should address with the school? I don't want to be overprotective, but I do want to help if he needs it.

Dear Mayo Clinic:
Is there an age that is too old to be an organ donor? Also, is marking "organ donor" on my driver's license the only thing I need to do to become a donor, or would my family still be allowed to make a different decision?

Dear Mayo Clinic:
I was recently put on medication for high blood pressure. Does it matter what time I take it? I thought I was supposed to take it before I go to bed. But when I do, I'm up all night using the bathroom. Also, is this medication something I will have to take for life?
