Why some countries play with their own psoriasis treatments

[Kat]

In the USA you take each other to court everyday over something, here in Europe you need to have a good case so maybe in the USA you are afraid to say anything for fear of ending up in court. Here if I tell someone to swallow a whole bottle of methotrexate with a bottle of Vodka to help them sleep and they do, then that's their fault for listening to an idiot.

I worked at a school and we had a nurse only part time. So if a kid needed an ice pack or bandaide when the nurse wasn't there, they came to my office. I had also a small emergency medical kit (with bandages and such, provided by the school.) One day a child came in with a splinter. The splinter was sticking out and easily removable so I got the kit with the tweezers and took out the splinter. The nurse came in right at the end and after the child left told she me I could not remove splinters as if there were an infection or something happened, the school could be sued. I said sorry, so only you (a nurse) can remove them? She said no, even she couldn't remove it, we call the parents to come remove it or take the child home...... so yes, the USA is really messed up when it comes to such things. (Kids with medical conditions at schools with full time nurses are different, as they sign a consent form for the nurse to be able to tend to them)

Just for the record, I've never thought anyone has led someone astray with any advice here. I just noticed the difference is all.
