if not what could happen?
Answer:
Aspirin is harmless, it comes from tree bark. Even if you tried to overdose on it you couldn't. They include aspirin in some child-hood teething medications as well - so unless your parents are super-natural hippies - its likely you've taken aspirin at some point already.
i guess you could but isnt there stuff for kids
why do you think you need to take an aspirin? are you in pain?
It's neither good nor bad.
Young people should not take aspirin if they have a virus...it could lead to a complication called Rheye's syndrom (sp?) It is bad and can lead to brain damage. Best to stick with the Tylenol.

Is it good to take tylenol and antibiotics?
I took an antibiotic for my throat at around 12 15 it is now 4 15 is it alright if I take it?
Answer:
Is it good to take Tylenol and anitbiotics? It is if you require them. As for your second question, take Tylenol every 4-6 hours as needed for pain or fever. Take your antibiotic according to the dosing instructions. If the times happen to coincide, it will do you no harm. Uh, I don't think this category is for medications, it's for the arts %26 sciences of the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease - Medicine, as in School of Medicine i.e. med school.FYI: Depending on the antibiotic and the condition being treated, antibiotics may be taken once daily or every 6, 8 or 12 hours.
Been doing it for about two weeks now. I feel much better.
That is OK if you take Tylenol now.In the future - if you have questions about your meds interacting - go to http://www.walmart.com and go the the pharmacy drug interactions website. It'll tell you if it's OK to take meds together.
Yes, tylenol is fine to take with antibiotics. You can even alternate a tylenol and a motrin every 4 to 6 hours while taking antibiotics if you need the extra pain relief.
Antibiotics should be taken either 6 hourly or 8 hourly not, everytime you take a tylenol. God Bless!!
yes you can paracetamol or acetaminophen is safe drug you can take it along with any other medication
Not good. The blood is filtered through the kidneys. Tylenol(Ibuprophen, Floruprophen 7 other Ansaids) negatively effect kidney function. They can cause blood in stool. Antibiotics are used to conteract bacterial infections, which by and large need the kidneys to function properly. Since, the toxins from the antegens that antibiotics attack are passed through the urine.

Is it hard becoming a doctor?
Right now i'm in highschool and my family wants me to become a doctor. is it hard studying at medical school and skills and how long do i have to study to actually become a normal doctor you see at clinics or medical centre?
Answer:
To become a doctor in the US, the difficulty is in the volume of work you are given, not the subject matter. Med school classes aren't any harder than upper level undergrad or graduate courses, but you have a lot to do.
You first have to get a bachelors degree and complete eight credits with lab of physics, biology, general chemistry, and organic chemistry. Each school has its own requirements which you can find on their websites or in the MSAR (medical school admission requirements) you can find at your local college library.
You are also required to take the MCAT (Medical College Admissions test) which averages about 31 for acceptance into medical school. The average GPA is around 3.6. You will also need to do other things like volunteer, do research, work in a medical facility, be active in clubs and other organizations, etc. to show that you are a well rounded person.
Once in medical school it is about the equivalent of taking 25-30 credits in one semester in undergrad. You go to classes for two years after which you have to take the USMLE or the COMLEX depending on whether you are going for an MD or DO degree. Both are fully licensed physicians.
After passing step 1 of those tests you do two years of clinical rotations, and then take step 2 of your board exams to graduate.
After graduation you have to enter a residency, which for family medicine or internal medicine is 3-4 years, although you are a doctor at this point but only make around $45000.
After residency you take step 3 on your boards and now can practice on your own, adn will then be making a six figure salary.
I suggest going to your local technical college and becoming an EMT or CNA. This will get you some first hand experience that will help you determine if medicine is for you. I spent three years as a CNA before med school and I learned a lot.
Good luck.
Studying for medicine is not hard. But get into medical school is very very hard. It will be a 10 year training after high school.
Becoming a dortor is a hard word you need to memorize add kind of diseases maybe you will memorize it months or years to became a profesional dortor someday. Good Luck!
To be a MD Doctor its very hard also a specialist like an Hemotologist or a Rheumatologist. Some people wants to be a doctor and they dont get excepted to medical school. Well good luck to u, if u want to be a doctor then you're looking for a good 8-10years of school. If u dont want to be a doctor then u dont have to listen to your family because all they're doing is pushing pressure on u. Its hard to get accept it because they have to look at your GPA in high school and college.
dont go to med school because ur family wants u to, only go if u want to become a doctor. getting in is very competitive but once ur in the school will help u graduate. depending on whether u want to become a specialist or not will determine how long u need to b in school
First off, kiwi u need to make sure its something u wanna do. Cause if u ain't gotta passion for it will be boring .. So before they waste their money and you waste your time see if it what you wanna do. But if you say "hey I do wanna do it my mind is made up" It will be easy , fun and worth all 7-10 years of schooling ! Hats off to you cause I am Studying Dermatology.
i think it won't be hard when you got a heart to learn it however how long or how hard it is. erm... if you want to be a doctor and open a clinic maybe need almost 6 to 10 years working in hospitals and study. so if you really want to be a doctor so i think you can made it. good luck!
I am going 2 write my medical entrance this year.
Ask yourself this Q. Am I taking this stream coz I really want 2 become a good doctor or is it because everyone is going behind the entrance factor?
If your answer is a +ve reply to the first part of this Q, then u'll rock. U'll rule even if it is the hardest of courses.
MBBS - 5 1/2 years
Speciality + Super speciality - Will depend on the course
Internship - Also differs among colleges
well i eouldn't say it's hard but u certainly have to work hard enough to reach ur goal. if ur family has ur support and u wanna become a doc as well then it's a golden chance for u to make money. but being a doctor u have to compromise a lot of things. u cut down ur party habits and u have to just keep concentrating on ur studies. if u r ready to do that then i hope u will mecime one day.
Any proffession is hard, honey. You have to love what you do and run away from the routine, it is boring and kills your spirit.It depends on the medical school, you have to study during 6 years in mine.You need social skills to deal with patients, and to love reading.
Ask yourself this, why you want become a doctor.To save people life?
To earn big bucks?
To make your parent and yourself proud?If your reasons is any of the above, forget about being a doctor. There is something more than life.

Is it hard getting into medical school and how is it done?
Answer:
Yes only a small percentage of premeds make it. Hard work, good grades, active in school activities, and pray a lot.
Getting into Med school is similar to getting into college, except that the bar is raised higher.
Med schools are going to look at your high school and college performance, which you should keep at least 3.5 or higher. They are also looking for people that aim a little higher than most. They will look at school, church and/or community involvement.
Just like SAT testing before college you will have to undergo MCAT's before Med school. The scores will be looked at and be regarded for acceptance. Most people start studying for the MCAT's at least six months prior. For more info on MCAT's check out:
http://www.aamc.org/students/mcat/start.
Obviously choosing medicine is a choosing to go into a highly competitive field. Many of our medical hopefuls put tremendous time, energy and thought into making themselves stand out among the rest, so if you want to be a doctor you should do the same.
Better have a 4.0, or at least a 3.8, if you're a biology, biochem, or chemistry pre-med. Pre-meds in those three majors are a dime a dozen.
Actually, in some schools, it is getting easier. There is no longer huge amounts of $$ in medicine. The brightest are doing other things with their lives, and as a result, we are not turning out really top notch thinkers/doctors any longer. As consuming patients, we all need to know lots before we see a doc. some are truly poorly trained, especially D.O's.
About 30% of applicants to med schools actually get in. A good source to look at is www.studentdoctor.net, which has forums for premeds, med students and doctors. If you really, really want to become a doctor you can most likely do it, but there are a lot of trade-offs: cancelled dates, late night study sessions, big debts and a late start to your career being only some. All that said, medicine offers rewards in proportion to its sacrifices.
As a new doctor, I don't recommend doing it. It is a huge sacrifice - truly years of your life are spent accumulating debt, studying, and being a scut-monkey for attending physicians while your friends are working, earning a living, and starting a family.Once you get out, regulation is increasing, law suits are increasing, costs to the doctors are rising, expectations of doctors are rising. All this is against the back drop of consistently falling salary/earning potential and progressive loss of autonomy. For example, Medicare will be cutting payments 5% every year through 2012. So while your friends get a yearly raise to match or exceed inflation, as a doctor you will watch your standard of living gradually and invariably decrease.I can't say for sure, but at times I feel American society as a whole is de-valuing doctors and health care. How many people will gladly pay $20 for a couple movie tickets but complain about their $20 co-pay?
Is it ever possible to wear contact lenses after receiving laser surgery i.e. for reading or close up work?
Persons over 40 can lose some up close reading capabilities after laser surgery.
Answer:
Undercorrection is common with the LASIK techniques, about 15% of patients receiving one of the lasik vision correction procedures actually still _require_ contacts for proper correction. The percentage is higher after a few years. Loss of night vision is also common as are visual abberations (Halos, rainbows, doubled objects).So yes, you can. And there's a chance that despite improvement you may still be required to wear glasses or contacts not only to read but also to drive, etc.
Contact lens can be used after laser.

Back to sketches
I don't have much in the way of polished art to show off so I thought I would just throw out some sketches for ya'll. Don't know where this guy came from, but I like him anyway. Enjoy.

Mr. Ben
This was another character along with all the latest posts. His name is Mr. Ben and he was really funny. We needed kind of an Obi Won Kenobi type character (thus the name Mr. Ben). At times he was a hobo and at others he was a professor. At one point he was even a hobo pretending to be a professor trying to score some free food on campus. His advice got less and less wise but he was a blast to draw and write. Enjoy.
