I'm a bit concerned because my vaccinated dog bit me, and I started bleeding. I got my anti-rabies shot about 15 hours later, but the doctor gave me the injection on my butt. Some people are saying it should've been given on the shoulders instead. Does this mean my vaccination might not work, or should I be worried about it?

No need to worry, giving injection to the muscle is important let it be shoulder or butt.

I'm feeling really tired after work lately, and my memory seems to be getting weaker. I've also noticed some bone pain and I think it might be related to a vitamin deficiency like B12 or D6, which I've seen in earlier reports but didn't pay much attention to. Which type of doctor should I visit to get this checked out?

You should consult a **general physician** or a **nutritionist** to address your vitamin deficiencies. They can help with diagnosis and provide a treatment plan, which may include vitamin supplements or dietary adjustments. If needed, they might refer you to a specialist, such as an **endocrinologist** or **rheumatologist**, depending on your symptoms.
