When I was pregnant with my fourth child, I was a little stressed. My obstretrician referred me to an acupuncturist. It helped soooo much. And of course there were no possible side effects to worry about with the baby.

It seems that many physicians today are realizing that the medical solution may not always be the best solution. They appear to be offering holistic or homeopathic options and remedies in a lot of cases.

What type of patients do nurse practitioners see?

Nurse Practitioners see the same patients that physicians see. They can specialize in certain fields, but they cannot perform surgery (though they can assist). They can perform minor procedures (suturing, lancing, etc). In some states, they cannot be the primary care for a practice. They must work under a doctor. In other states, they can open an independent practice. Our Level One Trauma Center even has an ARNP in the ER for minor care treatment. They often handle clinic patients or round on patients that have been admitted by physicians in their practice.

What are the work conditions if you are a pediatrician?

Many physicians-primarily general and family practitioners, general internists, pediatricians, ob/gyns, and psychiatrists-work in small private offices or clinics, often assisted by a small staff of nurses and other administrative personnel. Increasingly, physicians are practicing in groups or healthcare organizations that provide backup coverage and allow for more time off. These physicians often work as part of a team coordinating care for a population of patients; they are less independent than solo practitioners of the past. Many physicians and surgeons work long, irregular hours. Almost one-third of physicians worked 60 hours or more a week in 2004. Physicians and surgeons must travel frequently between office and hospital to care for their patients. Those who are on call deal with many patients' concerns over the phone and may make emergency visits to hospitals or nursing homes.

What health information comes from the patient and physician?

Patients need to communicate as much as physicians.
