Problem: Article: Your doctor is the one who can order an iodine blood test, so you will need to make an appointment with them. Typically, your doctor will order an iodine test in conjunction with other tests for things like thyroid hormone without you having to ask. If you think you have a need for an iodine test, though, ask your doctor. Before the day of your test, talk to your doctor about any medications you are currently taking. Iodine blood tests typically don't have a fasting requirement. Your doctor may order multiple tests for one appointment, though, so check with them to see if you need to fast prior to testing. After your doctor has ordered the test, you will need to get your blood drawn. In some cases, a phlebotomist may come in and do that on the same day. In most cases, though, you will have to go to the lab at or associated with your doctor's office to get your blood taken. For an iodine test by itself, you will generally only have one vacutainer tube taken. It commonly takes about 5-7 days for the lab at your doctor's office to process your test and complete your report. Your doctor should call you once they have your test results. Don't hesitate to ask them any questions you may have regarding your test results once they are in. If you do have lower iodine levels, your doctor may request a follow-up appointment to discuss treatment plans.
Summary: Make a doctor's appointment. Get your blood drawn. Discuss the results with your doctor in 5-7 days.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Unfortunately, it's possible that even with all of your help, your child will still be bullied. In this case you should step in. Set up a meeting with someone at your child's school and report the problem. If you know who is bothering your child, tell the school representative. You want to make sure that the school knows who is causing the trouble so it can respond accordingly. If you know the bully's parents, you might have to talk to them if the bullying continues. They might be unaware that their child has been bothering yours, or they might not care and say that you're making too big a deal of it. Whatever the case, it might help for your to get in touch with the bully's parents. Don't act accusatory towards the bully's parents. Their first instinct will probably be to protect their child. Instead, say something like "I notice my child has been having some problems with yours lately, and I'd like to talk about it," instead of "Your child is a bully!" Be prepared to talk to them again. It's possible that the bullying won't stop after this meeting, so be prepared to have another talk with them if you have to. If you don't know the bully's parents, it's better to go to the school. Your child's teachers and/or principal can then approach the bully's parents if they think it's necessary. All kinds of bullying put a lot of emotional stress on your child. Prolonged bullying can lead to depression, anxiety, violent outbursts, and suicide. You can prevent this by taking your child seriously and getting him or her help when it's needed. Contact a mental health professional if the bullying continues or you notice any signs of emotional distress in your child.

SUMMARY: Report the problem to your child's school. Talk to the bully's parents. Get your child psychological help if needed.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most products in Hawaii cost more than you may be accustomed to coming from the mainland United States. All products must be shipped to Hawaii, dramatically increasing their costs and utilities are also more expensive. Things like electricity can cost two to three times the average price of the same usage on the mainland. Dietary staples like milk and other common groceries are also significantly more expensive. Property values are extremely high, so housing is more expensive than most places in the mainland United States per square foot. Living on an island brings about risks that you may not be accustomed to now, but will need to adjust to after moving to Hawaii. While it is a safe place to live overall, you're at a higher risk of experiencing some emergency situations than you would be elsewhere in the United States. Hurricanes and tsunamis are a dangerous reality for those living in Hawaii and other island nations. There are dangerous forms of sea life that thrive in the coasts of Hawaii. While shark attacks are uncommon, they are not unheard of. Hawaii is a rabies free state, which means they take the risks brought about by imported pets extremely seriously. You will have to be prepared to leave your pets in quarantine for a period of time upon your arrival to the island. Depending the on the age, breed and species of your pet, it will be quarantined for anywhere from five to thirty days to ensure it does not carry the rabies or other communicable viruses. Your pet should have all necessary vaccinations before arriving on the island. Your pet also is required to be micro-chipped prior to arriving in Hawaii. Hawaii is a very welcoming place with countless reasons to live there, but it is not without issues. Because of the colonial history of Hawaii, native Hawaiians suffered a great deal at the hands of others through economic, political and even violent oppression. Remnants of the tension between native Hawaiians and people relocating to the island remain to this day. "Haole" is a term for "mainlander" and is often used to describe those who relocate or visit the island from elsewhere in the world. It is not always used in a derogatory way, but it can be. You should become familiar with the term and what it represents. Be respectful of Hawaiian culture and keep in mind that you are relocating to a place with a rich cultural history. Learn the areas that are unsafe to travel in alone or at night. Like most places throughout the world, there are some areas that are more dangerous than others. Participate in community events and make friends with the people you live near in order to establish yourself as a respectful haole.
Summary:
Adjust to a higher cost of living. Understand the risks associated with island living. Prepare your pets. Respect Hawaiian culture.
