A primary care physician is a doctor who treats many types of illness and injuries. A specialist is a medical professional who has chosen to focus on one field of medicine, such as an oncologist, who treats only cancer, or a podiatrist, who focuses only on treating foot conditions. A primary care physician is more suited for general wellness checks, before the illness or injury is diagnosed. For example, if your leg hurt, you would visit a primary care physician first. Once the physician learns that the reason for the pain is a torn ligament, you would be referred to a specialist like a surgeon. A surgeon is a type of specialist who can help solve the specific problem once it has been diagnosed.

A primary care physician does not every thing about an injury or an illness and a specialst is aware of every kind of illness or injuries.When you have an injury or illness and meet a physican , he or she will first check about the problem you haveby providing you some medicine and take sometime and when he or she gets to know that the illness is out of his hand then only he will send u to a specialst.here a physian is a waste of time and money. So it is better to see a specialist.if i have an accident and break my leg i will see a specialstand if i fell off riding a bicycle and get hurt i will see a physian

From a vial of 100 units of regular insulin, how much (in milliliters) is to be drawn up for a dose of 47 units? ____ mL
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.47 mL

Explanation:

     In the case of insulin, an International Unit (IU) is equivalent to 0.01 ml or 0.01 cm³ . In some syringes, a "cylindrical" indication is represented by the symbol "cc". Although incorrect (right is cm³), an equivalence is maintained (0.01 cc = 0.01 cm³ = 0.01 ml = 1 IU). Remember the equivalence between IU and ml or cm³ for insulin.

   So considering that 100 units = 1 mL (100 x 0.01 = 1mL), 47 units will be 0.47 mL (47 x 0.01 = 0.47mL).
