Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know your traditional savings account. Contact your bank or visit its website to determine any withdrawal limits for your account. Access your account online. Go to your bank if you do not have a checking account that is linked to your savings account. Use your debit card at an ATM to withdraw funds from your savings account, if permitted.

Answer: These are sometimes called passbook savings accounts or share savings accounts.  Such savings accounts usually have low or no balance requirements, and thus correspondingly low interest rates (but usually higher than checking accounts). Check on your options in regards to transferring funds between multiple savings accounts or to a checking account, as well as any dollar amount restrictions per type of withdrawal.  In the United States, under the Federal Reserve’s Regulation D Requirements, there is a federally enacted limit of 6 withdrawals per month.  This requirement was established during the Great Depression of the 1930s to help ensure stability in funds held by banks.  There is room for variation in bank policies regarding this limit, so know those of your bank.  This limit on withdrawals is one of the largest differences between savings and checking accounts.  Basically, you trade a lesser amount of accessibility to your funds for a (normally) higher rate of return on your funds. Note also that these Regulation D requirements also cover the internet savings accounts and money market accounts discussed below. This is the best option if you want to withdraw from your savings and deposit it into your checking. Many banks consider these transfers rather than withdrawals because they are not giving money to a third party. It stays within their bank for at least a short time. Most bank websites make transferring funds between accounts held at that bank easy. Indicate the amount of money you would like to transfer from your account, and the date when you would like it to transfer. Many transfers between accounts can happen immediately. Fill out a withdrawal slip indicating the amount you would like to withdrawal from your savings account. The teller will most likely ask you to show some photo identification, your savings account number, and possibly enter a password or pin number This option is becoming more common. Basic savings accounts are often linked to checking accounts, so many major banks allow you to withdraw at the ATM. Insert your ATM debit card, enter your pin, select savings account, and enter the amount you would like to withdraw. With all of these methods, keep in mind the limit of 6 withdrawals per banking period (in the U.S.). Bank terms and conditions regarding withdrawals can change, so it is always a good idea to check with the bank.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ice, compress and elevate. Ask your doctor if you need a splint. Ask your doctor if you need a surgery. Take pain medicines. Follow up with your doctor or specialist as directed. Understand the complications.

Answer: Manage the swelling and pain by icing, compressing, and elevating the finger. The faster after the injury you give this type of first aid, the better. Make sure that you are also resting your finger.  Ice the finger. Wrap a bag of frozen vegetables or an icepack in a thin towel and apply it gently to your finger to help reduce your swelling and pain. Apply ice immediately after you sustain the injury for no longer than 20 minutes as needed. Compress the injury. Gently but securely wrap your finger with a soft elastic bandage to help manage the swelling and immobilize the finger. At your initial appointment with your doctor, ask if it is appropriate to keep your finger wrapped in order to reduce your risk of bringing on additional swelling and to keep from impeding movement of other fingers. Elevate the hand. When possible, keep your finger elevated above your heart. You may find it most comfortable to sit on a couch with your legs over the cushions and your wrist and fingers resting on the back of the couch. You also should not use the injured finger for everyday activities until cleared by your doctor. Splints are used to immobilize your fractured finger to keep it from developing further damage. A makeshift splint may be crafted out of a popsicle stick and a loose bandage until you get to the doctor for a better wrapping.  The kind of splint you need varies according to which finger is fractured. Minor fractures may benefit from “buddy taping,” which consists of immobilizing the injured finger by taping it to the finger next to it. A dorsal extension-block splint keeps your injured finger from bending backward. A soft splint is placed to keep your injured finger slightly and gently curved toward the palm and is held in place with soft fastenings. An aluminum u-shaped splint is an inflexible aluminum splint that keeps the injured finger from extending. It is placed on the back of the injured finger to keep it immobile.  In more severe cases, your doctor may apply an inflexible fiberglass splint that goes from your finger to past your wrist. It's essentially like a mini-cast for your finger. Surgery is required to properly treat and heal a fracture when immobilization and time cannot effectively fix it. In general, fractures that require surgery are more complicated than those that only require immobilization. A compound fracture, a fracture that is unstable, loose bone fragments, and a fracture that compromises a joint all require surgery because the broken pieces need to be guided back into place in order for the bone to heal in the right configuration. Your doctor may recommend you take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to help manage pain associated with a broken finger. NSAIDs work by reducing negative effects of long term inflammation, and alleviating pain and pressure put on the nerves and associated tissues. NSAIDs do not inhibit the healing process.  Common over-the-counter NSAID medications used for managing fracture pain include ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen sodium (Aleve). You can also take acetaminophen (Tylenol), but it is not an NSAID and does not reduce inflammation.  Your doctor may also give you a codeine-based prescription medication for short term management if you experience major pain. The pain is more likely to be worse at the beginning of the healing process, and your doctor will reduce your prescription strength as the bone heals. Your doctor may instruct you to make a follow-up appointment a few weeks after your initial treatment. She may repeat X-rays 1-2 weeks after the injury to see how it's healing. Make sure you keep any follow-up appointments to ensure that you're on the mend. If you have questions about your injury or anything else, contact your doctor's office. In general, fractured fingers heal very well after consultation with a doctor and a 4-6 week healing period. The risks for complications following a finger fracture are minimal, but it is still good for you to be aware of them:  Joint stiffness may occur as a result of scar tissue forming around the fracture site. This can be addressed with physical therapy to strengthen the finger muscles and reduce the scar tissue. A section of the finger bone may rotate during the healing process, resulting in a bony deformity that may need to be addressed by surgery to help you grasp things properly. The two pieces of the bone may not fuse together properly, resulting in permanent instability within the fracture site. This is known as “nonunion.” Skin infection may occur if there are lacerations to the fracture site and they are not properly cleaned prior to surgery.
