Shine!! asked: would I have to be a nurse practioner, or could I just be a registered nurse? and does the degree level (AS compared to BS) matter? I am going to take these to a small town in africa where my uncle is a missionary. We already know the procedures for getting them into the country.
and if neither of these will work, please specify what I need to do. I dont think ill need to prescribe meds.
please be nice! thanks

friend2all asked: Does the United States drain away the best and the brightest young physicians from developing world countries to supply the need for physicians in the US?
So many young physicians I encounter seem to be foreign born and foreign trained.
Should we build more US Medical Schools to provide more American trained physicians and allow foreign trained physicians to serve the countries and communities that sponsored their educations instead of robbing poor countries of physicians to provide for the needs of a rich country that has not trained enough physicians for its own needs?

Eric D asked:
My 1 year old daughter has been wheezing a lot lately and the doctor prescribed her proventil (an inhaler) and a spacer with a mask to deliver the puffs (since she is incapable of following instructions to use a regular inhaler). Insurance wouldn’t cover the spacer, so I ended up paying $71.99 for it at CVS. Then, when I got home, I looked up the spacer online and found it for sale widespread for $28! It seems like the pharmacy has price gouged here, did they not? After all, people tend to go to pharmacies for these types of things when they have an urgent or emergency situation. Why not jack up the price 3x the normal amount? I’m angry right now, is there anything I can do?

Paul McBride asked: Now it seems that the medical supplies coming from China may also be suspect.
” But also Friday, China Daily reported that 17 more members of a gang accused of making fake rabies vaccine out of starch and water have been detained in China’s northeast. Another 17 people were detained earlier.”
If you ever need a rabies shot make sure you ask the clinic that treats you where the vaccine came from!

drissy29 asked: These boxes are small,(like for just a few pills). They have some kind of timer that you set to go off when it’s time to take your pill. Several drug stores carried them. I even tried a medical supply store. They appear to have been wiped off the planet
I think they’re plastic and either beep or buzz (or maybe even vibrate), to alert you when to take your pill.
The websites I’ve checked don’t even have a category for pill boxes,
HELP!!
