editI think that the wording of Hiatus hernia regarding elevating the head of their bed probably could use rewriting. The idea, I believe, is to put a brick or something under the two feet/posts at the head end of the bed. Simply putting more pillows under one's head probably is not sufficient. Not being a sophisticated editor, I don't know how close this is to medical advice. I suspect this terminology is likely more American, so this should be considered as well. While this is the English language Wikipedia and many readers from the US, there are many other English speaking countries and individuals who are not.

Hey Jim1138. I am not sure what this page is exactly. Anyway, on this page in question, I merely changed of to off as it read that that was what the writer was trying to say. It may well me American style, I am not American either. Thanks.
- Hello Dave, Are you referring to your talk page here or to the Hiatus hernia page? I am an American who has been asked to not be so US-centric once or twice. Keep on editing and don't let people like me from inhibiting your good editing! Jim1138 (talk) 09:42, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Hey mate. You wrote me a message about my edit on Hiatus hernia talking about style etc. All I did was change the word of to off as I think that is what the writer of it meant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.255.134 (talk) 13:36, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
