I give IV push Solu-Medrol pretty often for anaphylaxis, and have never had a patient report the genital pain/itching. I push it fairly slowly and always flush with saline
And what happens to trust when a person believes all the anti-vax literature about developing "natural immunity" and not needing vaccines, and their child dies from
Banterings- Can you please further explain the connection between health care and autism? I'm not clear on that, unless it's just another way of saying that vaccines cause autism. As far as choice as...
The causal relationship between autism and vaccines has been proved to be non-existent. Over and over, ad nauseum. Not wanting to see a documentary on a subject that is familiar to many, and will...
Because the movie is "entertainment" so they could pick and choose what and who they wanted to present-an adaptation if you will. Not a surprise, given that the original data was manipulated to serve...
I am convinced that we are dealing with a troll here, who has nothing useful to add to the conversation but delights in stirring up trouble. Perhaps we should just close this thread for good. It's a...
