He has this app for doctors that gives a bunch of information about the medication that he looks up. He did this for one of the medications that I take and we were able to figure out why I have been dizzy. It turns out I was dizzy because of some side effects of my medicine. Overall, it was a positive experience getting validity of my medical questions. ]]> 2016-10-29 15:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/ddxzfpyuxype/wish/134042009 lilladvoraczky https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/ddxzfpyuxype/wish/134042314 2016-10-29 15:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/ddxzfpyuxype/wish/134042314 lilladvoraczky https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/ddxzfpyuxype/wish/134042322 2016-10-29 15:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/ddxzfpyuxype/wish/134042322 lilladvoraczky https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/ddxzfpyuxype/wish/134042350 2016-10-29 15:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/ddxzfpyuxype/wish/134042350
