Doctor who does not know where Nicaragua is
How would you feel if a doctor who supposed to give you all the necessary shots for upcoming Nicaragua trip suddenly asks: " where is Nicaragua? In East Asia ? "
I was in 9th grade at that time and I froze in my chair. I was not feeling comfortable giving my arm to her. It was very first time I met her.
she is still my primary doctor and have great relationship with her. In high school I could not go over my initial " disbelieve". Now It does not bother me at all. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

What can be considered as a volunteer service?
Hello, I am a bit concerned about my volunteering hours. So far, I have 60 hours of volunteer hours from health care trip in Nicaragua and I only have 20 hours in campus organization volunteer. I was wondering if doing a personal fundraiser project for a patient could be counted as volunteer hours. I have been doing this one fundraiser project for my friend who was born with cleft palate in vietnam (I decided to help her because I was also born with cleft palate and lip). She is from a very...
