    very good

  5. Wilmer – SOUTH TEXAS ISD (verified owner) –

    Respectfully disagree with:
    The information appeared to be biased (overly diagnosis; the diagnosis motivation “business”
    The students really do not need medicine.
    The information given must be balanced with an opposite view like physicians that prescribe the drugs, and why they diagnose (a clinical view) not an opinion.
