why isn't antabuse (disulfuram,oral) combined with drugs incompatible with alcohol?
Why do doctors and drug companies allow patients to defeat their prescriptions by taking alcohol with them instead of telling them they will get severe indigestion if they try? Is current practice meant to bring the patient back repeatedly?
1 AnswerOther - Health1 decade agohow costly is administrative overhead of US govt pgms for the poor?
Charities are often ranked by how much of donations gets to the poor to be helped. How does cost of US govt "benefits" compare? Please omit "the United Fund" from your comparison, as its outflow goes almost exclusively to other charities, and NOT the poor. I expect to see the Salvation Army to shine in this comparison, and the US govt to be really, really costly.
3 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoHow can I mount a visibility mirror on ends of my van?
I have a Ford Aerostar mini-van, which has poor visibility below the hood and behind the rear hatch. I have mid-sized movable mirrors, each on a stick-mount for the ends, so I can see objects in front of, or immediately behind, the vehicle. I wish to mount these mirrors with screws using holes in the stick-mounts, and adjusting mirror angles after mounting. My problem is clever positioning of the mirrors before drilling into the van body so visibility is optimized when I sit in the driver seat. I have no helper and I don't believe adhesive tape will hold the mirrors properly for testing trial positioning. I'd rather not drill and find repositioning of the mounts is necessary. Perhaps an answer can tell me of proven techniques.
