Accepted Answer

: You are on track with your prophylaxis regime, it will certainly prevent you for becoming sick and from shedding the spirochetes in your urine. Here is an article that will help you decide: https://www.uptodate.com/contents/leptospirosis-treatment-and-prevention/print -  I am always uncomfortable about repeated exposure to valuable antibiotics - you might be completely resistant to the bug already

Question 2

Accepted Answer

You: Patients are responsible for payment for meds. Insurance covers a good portion many times.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Cornish Pasties: Pies with vegetables ; meat have been tested for presence of hoarse meat, and as far as i know, the beef pies were cleared. It is one of my favorites when i visit gb, as long as they are fresh ; not left out  in the heat for long.

Question 4

PAD: If you're referring to peripheral arterial disease due to atherosclerosis(the commonest type) it would be extremely rare in your age group. Certain autoimmune vasculitis conditions cause obstruction of tiny blood vessels,however.

Question 6

do you pay for virtual consultation ?

Accepted Answer

Can't say: They are not offered through this site &amp; we do not know how they are handled in your country. My assumption is that you would pay for any direct to patient service unless they are paid for by a third party insurer.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

More info needed: Sharp side where? Please provide more info when writing questions, but do seek medical advice about the pain you are concerned about.

Question 8

how would i get help to pay for medicine?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you have a specific disease like diabetes, you can contact the local american diabetic association for help. Ask the pharmacist which local agencies provide help.  You can also contact the drug company that makes the medication you need and they will sometimes have charitable arrangements.  Check with the local public health agency also.

Question 9

i got insurance  to pay for the medication?

Accepted Answer

????????????????????: I suppose it is nice that you got insurance to pay. However, why you posted the fact on this site is not clear. This is not a chat room and none of your posts are ever linked.

Question 10

do frats encourage or just condone partying?

Accepted Answer

Both!: It actually depends on the fraternity, but many of them are "clubs" that pressure young adults into excess.  Drugs, alcohol, partying, dangerous/risky activities are typical of most fraternities.  That's not to say that they are all bad or they should be abolished. Many also do a great deal of positive things for the community. They are just usually linked to outrageous partying!
