Question 4

why did j&j stop manufacturing reach floss for sensitive gums?

Accepted Answer

I would ask them: Companies can discontinue products for a number of reasons. Poor sales, unavailable raw materials, etc. Can lead to the extinction of your favorite products. Don't give up on flossing just because of that. There are many brands/varieties of floss out there and try them one at a time until you find one that you like. Btw, i don't know what j&j does to floss to make it work better on sensitive gums.

Question 5

Question 8

want to apply to medical school and eventually become a spine surgeon i have a past felony drug conviction for manufacturing and delivering cocaine and criminal conspiracy should i not even waste my time or is worth my time to pursue this career as a surg

Accepted Answer

While : While a clean record is not an absolute requirement to become a surgeon, it certainly helps.  There are several obstacles to becoming a surgeon with a felony conviction.  First, you would have to convince a medical school admissions committee that you have the character and traits they are looking for in an applicant.  At the end of medical school, you would need to convince a orthopaedic or neurosurgery residency program that you have the character and traits they are looking for.  As both orthopaedic and neurosurgery training programs are extremely competitive, this history does put you at a disadvantage.  For both admissions processes, it is typical to ask about any prior convictions.

Even if you were to navigate medical school and residency successfully, you would still need to become licensed by the state you want to practice in, and obtain certification by the drug enforcement agency (dea), and possibly by the state controlled substances board.  The dea and states may have specific restrictions preventing licensure with a prior felony drug-related conviction.

Before proceeding, i would recommend that you check with the dea and with whichever state you want to possibly practice in about their laws regarding licensure in your circumstances.

Question 9

could there be any trace of antibiotics in covid19 vaccines viz astrazeneca vaccine and covaxine from india or any vaccine? can i get c.diff infection if antibiotics were used either in the manufacturing process or in the final vaccine to be injected?

Accepted Answer

: THERE ARE NO ANTIBIOTICS CONTAINED WITHIN ANY OF THE COVID-19 VACCINES USED IN THE USA, AND PFIZER, J&amp;J, AND MODERNA ARE COMPLETELY DEVOID OF CONTAMINANTS IN ALMOST ALL CASES.  Cannot vouch for any other vaccines, especially from China.
