thatartistwin asked:


Why have the shop owners not donated these things since the entire world is putting together a humanitarian effort to send medicine, food, and everything imaginable? Why are Haiti citizens not ALL joined in to help their own people?
Kuhita: So, what you are saying is that everyone who is donating to these people who are seriously wounded and dieing should SELL it to them instead?

Ingrid: Because I saw the pics and film of what they were buying. There were no scripts involved (not to mention prescriptions are not needed for every tiny thing like they are in the USA or other countries).

Where do you dispose unuse medicine?

I’m planning a 12 day cruise-tour to Alaska this July. Some of my medicine requires it to be kept cold, I know the ships have refrigerators but what about during the land portion? I’m going with Princess cruises since I’ve sailed with them before. I thought if no fridge was available during the land portion I would bring a small cooler with ice packs. I would carry it on the plane etc and it will be clearly labeled Medical supplies so anyone see a problem doing the cruise-tour?

Whats a good organization to volunteer with? What kind of volunteering should I do and where?

I am a female in my first year of undergrad. I plan to go into medical school to be a doctor. I want to volunteer in the summer for two months in another country. I want to volunteer doing something that would be most closely related to medicine. Like something like help distribute medical supplies or something. I was wanting to go to Africa, but my parents are worried about all the war struck areas and various other things.

What is a technical term for medical supplies (specific)?

Kat asked:


I’ve totally forgotten it, but I remember that it’s a word that sounds more like it has to do with weapons than medicine.

Are there any organizations that collect unused medical supplies to distribute to needy people?

Is a doctor belonging to just one single medical group possibly better?

Qurious asked:


We have been trying to short list a few Primary physicians (Internal medicine or Family practice) in our area. Some doctors belong to just one medical group where as other doctors belong to multiple medical groups.

Can we make any assumptions based on this - example - the doctor belonging to multiple medical groups is possibly not getting enough patients in one medical group and hence needs to list himself in multiple medical groups. Similarly can we also assume the doctor belonging to just one medical group is able to sustain herself with enough patients in just that medical group and hence possibly slightly better?
