little 2 month girl and the pharmacist said he had to divide the amount for some reason, and now I am fearing the dosage might be wrong. He calculated it to be at .78 per dosage every 6 hours is this the right dosage? the pharmacy is now closed, it was a local one at the Medical building.

I was just wondering because when we put animals to sleep we peacefully euthanasia them so that they “go to sleep” and don’t fill it. Yet, when we abort humans we just rip them in to peaces with no pain killers. So, I was wondering if anyone any could suggest some sites that talk about when the fetus feels.

I don't use the metric system, so can you compare 10mg and 875mg to something standard.

Hi! I gave blood the other day at my school and in the mail they sent me a little card thing that said my blood type. I am O negative. What does that mean? Is that good? Does anyone know any sites for more information on the blood type O negative?
Thanks!

I haven't seen any sites which even mention the subject.

I am finding the study of the areas of the brain which produce chemicals that can affect the perception of everything we experience absolutely fascinating,
and would really like to find somewhere to exchange ideas.

I don't even know which category to pick for this question..... psychology, physics, biology or ethics ~ since this study covers all of them............

Any suggestions?

I'm not a doctor and I'm not even studying to be one, but I was just wondering if emergency medicine is harder than the other three branches?
It just seems like harder than all of the other three fields in TV serieses, so I was wondering if it really is harder in "real" life.

Thanks in advance!

I am in school to be an Occupational Therapy Assistant. We have learned all of the movements the body makes (flexion, abduction, rotation, protraction, and so on.) Sadly, I now have to learn all of the muscles that make each of the movements.

I am terrible at memorizing. I look at my flashcards and all I see are a bunch of letters strung together that make no sense at all.

I have a test next friday and if I don't pass--I will fail out of the entire program. I have no idea how I will do it. It is just luck of the draw...I can draw questions out of a stack that are easy and I know them...or ones I have never heard of--so, I need to learn them all (for the upper portion of the body.)

Is there anyone who has any tips or any websites that may be helpful?

Thanks.

I was given a copy on some blood work that I had done. My neurologist & my primary care doctor are at odds over my treatment, but in the mean time I'm trying to figure out if my white bllod cell count being low at 3.18,& my dilatin level Seizure medication is low at 7, it should be between 10-20 & my EOSINOPHILES in my platlet section is high at 11.1. I don't even know what EOSINOPHILES means. Is any of this a big deal?? My primary care doctor thinks it is but my nuerologist doesn't agree. Please help if you can. THANK YOU

When you look at MRI scans of people in multiple stages of life, as they get older areas of the brain will begin to darken. What I mean by that is that activity starts to decrease as cells get old, weak, and eventually do not function properly.

The thing about stem cells is that they will naturally take on the genetic code of the next associated cell. Cells are set up to transfer the code for what the cell next to it is supposed to be. So, what if you opened up the brain pan and replaced the damaged neurons one by one? Starting at the deepest point of damage, starting with the first damaged cell in an area and worked out in a spiral taking one stem cell at a time and replacing it where the damaged neuron had been. Then wait for it to take on the proper cell structure, then do the next one. Perhaps a job for nanobiomechanisms.

I was prescribed both amantadine and zithromax for a bad fever/chest cough. I'm done with the zithromax (antibiotic) and know never to stop antibiotics prematurely. Is this true for an antiviral medicine too? If I'm feeling a lot better can I discontinue taking the amantadine, or do I need to take it to completion?

My mother told me that if I child (under 12 years old) is deprived of sleep for more than 40 solid hours, without a wink of sleep, that they will die.

It is siad to be scientifically impossible for a child to stay awake all day, night and they next day so medical experts claim.
That is why a child can only need 2 hours extra sleep, but find it extremily difficult to make it awake until dawn.

What the F was that all meant to mean?

I'm thinking of getting a lens implant for myopia but am wondering if this will cause reading problems?

Will I need reading glasses earlier?
Can I still use bifocal lenses if needed?
Is there a maximum difference between the two powers of the bifocal lenses which is possible?
Can you get bifocal lenses for example with a +2 part for reading?

thanks!
