America's health care system has dramatically Improved In the past two decades.

Most of us are in better physical condition and we are living longer. The infectious diseases which have plagued man since the beginning of time virtually have been eliminated in this country. Medical technology is at an all-time high and stands on exciting new thresholds. Yet more and more Americans are expressing dissatisfaction with the system that has provided those benefits. Complaints range from runaway medical and drug costs, to over-specialization, to the enormous influence a few special-interest groups exert over the heath destiny of millions.

These issues and the questions they raise will be examined in a 15-part series "The Nation's Health" produced by Courses by Newspaper. Beginning Sunday, Feb. 8, "The Nation's Health" will be published weekly in The Sunday Journal Interested readers may also earn college credit through Sierra College in con juction with the series.

DEAR DR. LAMB -Can you give me some information about impotence in the diabetic? I have read your Health Letter on impotence and wondered if impotence is total and permanent. Can "real" impotence come on gradually and also go, or is that psychological? I sometimes obtain a partial erection but usually not sufficient to have intercourse. I am only 34 years old and have been on insulin for 10 years. I have been having this problem for eight years but it has become much worse the past four years.

Is this problem very common in male diabetics? What help can I get, if any? My wife and I would go to a counselor if we knew what kind to go to. We feel desperate. DEAR READER -Frequently when impotence is from diabetes the condition may be partial at first and then gradually get worse. That does not mean yours is psychological. In fact, often psychological impotence can be sudden related to one episode of sexual failure and a panic reaction to the failure.

Of course a diabetic can have impotence from psychological factors just as a nondia-betic can. To sort out the difference it is important to have a good evaluation. Why don't you consult a urology specialist? One technique in separating the psychological from the physical is to monitor the penis during sleep. Normally the male has an erection during sleep when the brain wave activity is in the REM stage. That may not mean much to you but this phase occurs about four times a night and just before wakening.

The penis is placed in an inflatable cuff and when the erection occurs the response is measured on a graph. If erections do not occur during this phase of sleep, it is most likely that the problem is physical. Don't be discouraged. If it is physical there are devices that can be used to aid you and your urologist should be familiar with these. They include implanting flexible rods, or inserting cylinders that can be inflated and deflated to induce an erection at will.

Yes, diabetic males are frequently afflicted with impotence. According to my mail so are many others. Those who want more information on this problem can send for The Health Letter number 3-12, Impotence. Send your re- quest to me, in care of The Auburn Journal, P.O.

DEAR DR. LAMB -What determines when hot or cold compresses are applied as heat to arthritis and cold to fractures? DEAR READER -Cold applications are used in the first day or perhaps two after an acute injury. The idea is to slow the circulation and help to prevent swelling. You can even use cold over the jaw after a dental extraction. Cold, such as ice applications or coolant sprays, is used over muscle spasms before stretching the muscles to relieve the spasm.

This is something the doctor does in most instances if it is used. Heat is used after the second day or an injury Applications to serve on the new Loomis Municipal Advisory Council are available at the Loomis library, according to Placer County Board of Supervisors Chairman Mike Lee.
