you wouldn't have to go to a doctor (or pay a doctor bill) to get some meds that you know you need. Why do you have to pay for a doctors appointment to get a refill on blood pressure meds when a pharmacist could easily take blood pressure measurements and send blood samples to the lab to check for potassium levels and other adverse outcomes? Don't we not pay enough for healthcare, without having to pay for unnecessary doctor visits?

Jansen Electronics has four machines that produce an identical component for use in its videocassette players. The proportions of the components produced by each machine and the probability of one of that component being defective are as follows:

Machine 1- Proportion of components produced= .15 Probability of defective component= .04

Machine 2- Proportion of components produced= .30 Probability of defective component= .02

Machine 3- Proportion of components produced= .35 Probability of defective component= .02

Machine 4- Proportion of components produced= .20 Probability of defective component= .03

What is the probability that the component selected at random is defective?

* Our book only teaches us how to do the problem if they tell us what Machine we're using, not which one we're selecting at random...

How do I go about finding a doctor or my medical records for a surgery that was performed in 1994? He was a private practice and I think has retired as he's no longer listed in the clinic or hospital of which the surgery was performed. I'd like to have a copy of my medical records from this surgery as I was never fully explained, at the time, what was taking place and how I'd feel afterwards. I was young, dumb, and eighteen.

A doctor started me on thyroid medication and something else that is an antidepressant. I actually started to feel better and now a friend I haven't seen for a long time shows up and starts mixing up margaritas and kamikazes. I don't want to sound ungrateful so I just keep drinking them. I skipped doses because of daily drinking of both medications and now feel really warped and screwed up. Like I said, don't want to sound like a jerk because he pays for them after all.
