we ll take a look at the wrong things you may be doing for your kids from overusing credit cards to not being honest about money. we have david here to talk about mistakes we make as far as financial advice for our children. let s go to natalie at the news desk. helicopters are dropping water on the damaged nuclear reactors in japan in a desperate attempt to try to cool them and limit the release of radiation as u.s. officials warn the situation is more desperate than the japanese officials are acknowledging. nbc s ann curry joins us now from akita, japan. reporter: just a few moments ago we experienced another aftershock in akita. the ground is still shaking in japan as it deals with this nuclear threat. reactors two, three and four are still in trouble and as you mentioned, the japanese military is now using helicopters to drop water on the fukushima nuclear complex. water cannon trucks are also being brought in to cool those reactors. a major move to try to restart the generators that were stopped by the quake so the cooling system can kick in. meantime, as you mentioned, there s discrepancy in the risk assessment by u.s. and japanese governments. the japanese government maintained for days that residents living within 12 miles should evacuate and that while those within 19 miles should remain indoors. the americans have been saying something very different. on wednesday the u.s. government said that u.s. citizens within 50 miles of the plant should leave the area. and in another development, the u.s. department of state is strongly urging u.s. citizens not to travel to japan right now and says that americans in japan should consider leaving. we should also mention this humanitarian issue. the tsunami and the quake victims most of them are above this nuclear power plant. and most of the aid is coming from the south from tokyo and a lot of it has not made it up to these tsunami and quake victims because they are cut off by this nuclear power plant. there s a real emergency going on up there right now. the temperatures are dropping. there is no heat. there is very little food and so people in fact in one evacuation centers were down to one bowl of rice a day and water and this is for people ages 3 to 95 trying to endure the impact waiting for help to arrive and now all this attention is being focused on this nuclear power plant problem. back to you. you wonder how much more the poor people there can possibly take in this situation. ann there in akita, japan. thank you so much, ann. united nations security council votes on a resolution to impose a no-fly zone over libya. the u.s. is also pushing the u.n. to authorize the use of air strikes in that country. meantime, four journalists from the new york times are reported missing in libya. they were last seen and heard from on tuesday. bahrain is on lockdown this morning after security forces unleashed a wave of violence on demonstrators in the capital wednesday. witnesses report police storming into the central hospital attacking doctors and patients alike. and in pearl square, demonstrators were sprayed with tear gas and rubber bullets. at least six people were reported dead in the clashes and six opposition leaders were detained today. secretary of state hillary clinton is in tunisia today to push for post-revolution reform in the middle east. wednesday clinton said she would not stay on for a second term if president obama is re-elected and she also denied plans to pursue a run for president, vice president or secretary of defense echoing comments she made back in december that secretary of state would be her last public position. a measure that would let college students in texas carry licensed handguns on campus passed its first test vote on wednesday. supporters say it will prevent campus crime such as 2007 virginia tech massacre. officials are investigating why a small plane crashed and burned on takeoff wednesday in long beach, california. five people were killed and another was seriously wounded. the group was on its way to a ski vacation in utah. life expectancy in the u.s. has hit an all-time high. 78 years and 2 months for a baby born in 2009. health experts credit better medical care including vaccines and anti-smoking campaigns. you never know what will amuse or terrify a baby but for baby emerson, the sound of his mother blowing her nose seemed to be both at the same time. take a look. that s the cutest thing. we could just watch that all day, right?

al, thank you. on today s daily dose how to choose the right doctor for you and your family. as more information becomes available online, many are searching the internet for recommendations and reviews. nbc s chief medical correspondent nancy snyderman is here with advice on finding the right provider for your medical needs. we got so many great questions. first we have a phone call from jonathan in danville, pennsylvania. good morning to you, jonathan. what s your question for dr. nancy? caller: good morning, dr. nancy. my question is this. what s the difference between a family practice doctor and a pediatrician and when should a parent choose to see one or the other for their child s care? you can really choose to see either a family doctor, general practitioner harkens back to the old days when a doctor could do everything. pediatrics follows under that. this may be the kind of doctor you want your family to see. pediatricians normally see children from birth to age of 18. sometimes a little longer if there s a relationship or certain chronic illness. for most children you really have the selection of doing either. it doesn t really matter. any specific questions? not every family doctor wants to do pediatrics. that relationship as you and i know as mothers and for expectant families do doctor shopping before the birth. you want to have a relationship. if something does go wrong during labor and delivery, you want that pediatrician to already be invested in you and your family. for a lot of people in rural america, the family doctor is the way to go. all right. great. thanks for that question, jonathan. let s get to lori in redman, washington. she joins us via skype this morning. good morning to you. caller: my question is i just found out my primary care doctor is actually a physician s assistant. i was wondering should i look for an actual physician or is it okay to see a physician s assistant and what are the differences between the two? you don t necessarily have to look for someone. i wish you had known ahead of time whether you were seeing a doctor or physician assistant. the office should have told you just because you deserve to know that information. i will tell you that as a dermatologist office where my family goes, we see the physician assistant because i think in a certain subspecialty like dermatology or some other fields, what you want is someone who sees common conditions all the time. now, the physician assistant will not be able to prescribe medication and may have a physician come in and say the diagnosis is correct. but one of the advantages of a physician assistant is it could be easier to get into the office because that person may be more readily available. i personally have no problem as long as you like that person and they re well qualified and there s good suspervision in th office. let s get an e-mail from julia in napa, california. what is a concierge doctor and how does that system work and how do doctors fit into today s medical practices? there are so many different doctors and now even physicians assistants and now concierge doctor. this is boutique end of things. the idea is if you have extra money and this is not going to come out of your typical coverage if you work for a big company but for $1,000 up to $5,000, $10,000 depending on where you live, you get your doctor s personal e-mail and personal telephone 24/7 which means that if i want to call you at 2:00 in the morning, you are expected to pick up the phone call. now, for the worried folks who want access to a doctor whenever they want it, this may be money not well spent. however, let s say you are 50 or a 60 year old and you have ageing parents who have five or six doctors and you worry they don t all talk to each other, having a concierge doctor who has power of attorney for some medical decisions and is the one point person who brings in all of the lab data, all of the doctors and is central clearing house, that might be a very good investment for a family. so figure out if you want a central gate keeper. if you aren t able to do it as that sort of middle sandwich generation kid. that s a great point. so many people taking care of their ageing parents as you know. in fact, let s get right to lisa in thompson station, tennessee. i believe her question has to do with that. good morning to you, lisa. caller: good morning. i live near nashville, tennessee, where i have found excellent doctors for myself and my family but my parents live 350 miles south of me and they are in their 80s. do you have any suggestions on how i can find them a good primary physician via long distance? i think you increasingly represent a demographic in this country of middle-aged people like me who have elderly parents and you want to provide for them. so assuming they are not going to move near you and you re not going to move near them, the first thing i would do is if you like your doctor, ask them. doctors in geographic areas know each other and see each other at medical meetings and know not so good ones and know buddies. many times they have gone to medical school together. rely on that doctor to doctor network first. even if doctors don t know someone, they know someone who will know someone. and then that gives you access. but most important, make sure you also then have the right to talk to your parents doctors and get medical information. in this crazy world of patient privacy, you can find yourself in case of an emergency having no one to talk to you. have your parents while they are of sound mind sign over power of attorney to someone in your family and that might be you so that in the case of a problem, you can as the adult child get that information, run it by your own doctors, let your doctors talk to their doctors because that s what you want. a free flow of information. this is unfortunately an increasing problem. generation sandwich issue and i tell you this patient privacy thing has thrown a kink in the whole system. it has gone haywire. sit down and have those conversations about who will share the information early before the crisis hits. all right. thank you, dr. nancy. still to come up next, money mistakes you could be passing onto your kids. plus later on, we ll show you simple ways to spruce up a room coming up after these messages. new hershey s drops. a lot of hershey s happiness in a little drop of chocolate. pure hershey s.
