As a dad with 5 kids we are trying to avoid some sort of sickness or illness with the kiddos. With the cost of healthcare and prescriptions these days it is hard to justify whether my child needs to see a physician, or just may need a over the counter remedies. If I could have access to a nurse or doctor that can help me identiy what maybe wrong. Also, suggest medicine or if I need to make the trip for a doctor visit. It would be nice.
