@Vane_rz Muchas veces osteosarcoma es erróneamente diagnosticado como osteomielitis. Si no presenta mejora en los síntomas, sería bueno pedir una segunda opinión. Mi recomendación es ver a un profesional del Hospital Luis Calvo Mackenna.

@AcademicChatter I have heard those against say science is about passion, not money. Oblivious to their privilege, using family resources to live. If we want to diversify the workforce, we must pay students a living wage. My passion has always needed a roof over my head and food on the table.
