Six things to remember about medicine;

1. Vaccines dont cause autism.
2. Vitamin pills are usually just end up as expensive urine.
3. Antibiotics don't work on colds.
4. CPR doesn't work like on TV.
5. Homeopathy is not medicine.
6. Treatment may take time to work.

The one question I hate being asked is “what are the side effects of this medication?”

Patient presents with confusion, renal failure, and anemia. What is the diagnosis and what should be done urgently?

@BrighamSK Balls that come with it are supposed to pop up and down on the top part just for fun. Balls can also go in the different holes and come out the tail or mouth. My son has this too. It’s an “interesting” toy. Keeps me entertained though.
