everytime i go to the doctor and get shots(vaccines or vitamin B shots for example) in my arm, it hurts a lot.why isn't the needle injected in our vein like an IV, so it's less painless and the medicine is effective quicker?

doctors/nurse:please explain.

Alright, OD has come up a lot in the world, recently. At least it seems that way to me. So im doing research. (I do this randomly with things im not familiar with) And as much as i research, it doesnt say what pills kill people. Like i know, ODing on something for say acne, wouldnt kill you right? Im just wondering. Also, someone in my family once OD'ed but didnt die. And i was wondering like what type of perscription they took. IDK....im just curious on the subject. If anyone has any knowledge on the subject, please let me know!

My friend normally takes melatonin when she's trying to get to sleep. I know that 3 mg is the proper dosage. However, my friend took 6 mg the other night. I was slightly concerned. Should I be worried? Or is melatonin not harmful whatsoever if you just double the normal supplement?

When the huricane hits and there is no safe public water, how about putting some bottles of water in a car with the windows rolled up to pasturize it?

Please critically evaluate this idea. State reasoning clearly.

Here is a link on pasturizing water:

A friend of my mine tried ecstasy on Friday and I have only done it once, so I don't know what kind it was or what it was based with.

He said it was circular, blue and had the money sign ($) on it.

I know ecstasy is based with certain drugs like, herion, speed, coke, but I don't know too well so I was wondering if someone could tell me, and also tell me how strong the pill was? Was it good, bad, okay?

Thanks.

I'm planning on studying medicine and have eben studying it on my own for a few years now. I'm currently researching Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty, and I think have pretty much everything I need except one thing - I can't seem to figure out which analgesic and which sedative/s are used for the procedure. If anyone can help me out with this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, it'd be really useful. =)

After finishing medical school and residency, what are the options for a pediatrician (not specialized)? I know you can join a private/group practice...but what are some other options.

What does a pediatrician who works in the hospital do? Are these jobs widely available?

What are teaching job? How much do these get paid?

Please describe in detail or leave a site where I can find information. The only thing you ever hear of is private practice...I know there are other opportunities out there also. I want to have a schedule that is somewhat family friendly. It seems hospitalists have that.
