i got a friend currently doing her MBBS in medicine in mauritius. Shes a citizen ther. she finishes her degree next year. after that she will get married and come to the united states. then she'll be a US citizen. im assuming she'll be ready to sit for the 8hr USMLE exam by then, so she'll simply need to find a center to write right? maybe its better i ask, considering she'l be a US citizen, and will have her MBBS from a diff country, wat steps can b taken so that she can continue specializing here and practice medicine? some details wud be appreciated, but a general overview wud still help greatly. like the exams she has to take, and the likes.. mind you, she's extremely intelligent. thanx peeps.. looking fwd to some answers..

It seems that all the types of things that are supposed to be probable vaccines against hiv actually improve the killing of the virus but not prevent it. For example the novel vaccine for hiv which is chemically enhanced dendritic cells taken from the person and it improves the killing of the virus but does not prevent it.

Does anyone think that an hiv vaccine would also theoretically have to be a cure?

and addiction problems with alcohol and drugs most of the patient's adult life perscribe a narcotic pain medication for them, especially when a spouse told the Dr that they were quite concerned because of the patient history with addiction? Serious responses please. I am trying to understand this decision and I haven't been able to. The patient did not have pain from a terminal illness, they had pulled something in their back.

The vet said to give my cat 80 MG of Ibuprofen to get rid of blood clot.

Childreens IB liquid stuff says:
"In each 5 mL teaspoonful
Ibuprofen 100 mg "

My needle thing-a-ma-jig counts from 0.1 ...0.2 ...0.3 etc till 1.0 where it says cc/mL ...

How many needle things do I give kitty?
(thank-you in advance)
