Doctors

Family doctors monitor general health. Traditionally, they don't specialize in any specific age, which allows them to see children, adults and senior citizens.

The duties of a Family Practitioner (GP .. General Practitioner) * A GP is just that ... generalized practitioner. * Provides you with your yearly physical check-ups. * Sends you to the lab for urine samples or blood workup should you need them. * If the GP feels there is something wrong and doesn't quite know what it is that is causing your symptoms it's his/her responsibility to send you to an 'Internist' which studies the whole of the body. Once the Internist does tests on you and narrows down where your problem lies then the Internist will send you off to a specialist that works in that particular field. * If your GP sends you to a specialist it's up to him to be sure he/she works well with the specialist and has all paperwork re tests, etc., when he asks you in to discuss the findings of your tests. Your specialist will talk to you first, but you should feel free to discuss it further with your GP should you have any worries. * GP's also are affiliated with some hospitals and spend so much time a week going to these hospitals. * GP's should visit their elderly patients in hospital or nursing homes. * GP's are responsible for explaining the medications that they give their patients and the side effects that may occur from these medications and let you know what side effects warrant you coming in to him. If a patient is on a certain medication that requires blood workup every so often it's up to the GP to see that it is done. * GP's fill your prescriptions providing they were prescribed by your own GP. * GP's should have another doctor in their office if they plan on going on vacation and SHOULD tell their patients the name of that doctor and that he has every confidence in the doctor taking his place (to put the patient at rest.) Some patients refuse to see a different doctor, but in some cases they have no choice. * GP's are there to talk to women of all ages about birth control; premenopause or menopause and answer your questions as best they can. Some GP's will see a woman through her pregnancy (if there are no complications) and even deliver the baby. For men, they should be candid about low libido; aging; and be sure at a certain age his male patient gets tested yearly for prostate cancer. * GP's should be kind, considerate and treat their patients with dignity. * GP's should be kind, patient and write-out instructions for the elderly patient because they may be nervous or confused. * GP's are expected to make sure their patients are clear about any procedures they may have to go through such as certain tests or surgery and what the prognosis is. There are a lot more duties in health care that GP's act on, but the list is too long. The long and short of it is that GP's are actually just as important as a specialist because it's the GP that has to decide where your problem is and what specialist you may have to see. GP's are part doctor, psychologist/psychiatrist (treating patients with anxiety and giving medication where needed.) Patients also have a responsibility to their doctor. They should write down their questions they want to ask the doctor and when making the appointment let the receptionist know that you have several questions and they will give you a little more time with the doctor. Be sure you write down the answers to your questions that the doctor takes the time to explain and if you don't understand what the doctor is explaining then say so. Patients should be candid with their doctor and never hold back their fears. The doctor can't help their patient without the true facts. Some fears are not warranted and the doctor can ease a patient's worries. When an elderly person comes in a daughter, son, relative or younger friend should accompany them to be sure that the elderly patient understands all the facts that the doctor is telling them or doses of medications that he may give that elderly patient. Patients should write down any genetic factors for the doctor such as if they have had childhood diseases; heart problems in the family; cancer, etc. The more information the patient gives their doctor the more their doctor can help them and know what signs to look for should that patient have a problem.

Children should have a slightly faster pulse rate (heartbeats) than adults. For a young person aged between 8 and 14 normal rate is 84 beats a minute but anything between 70 and 110 while resting is considered normal. If you are very fit it could be as low as 60. The maximum rate after a very hard run ( 15 minutes as fast as you can go) for a 11-12 year old can be up to 210 beats per minute.

A recent national survey referenced in the New York Times found that US gastroenterologists earned $457,000 on average, with the top 10 percent making $715,600. Source: www.nytimes.com/2009/07/25/health/policy/25doctors.html?_r=1

This is three times the annual income of doctors in Canada and Australia which explains why US heath insurance is much, much more expensive than in other countries.

They Felt for the Break. And it was Very painful. A broken bone pretty much Shows you what it is. The really Hard part is determining just Where the break is, and what needs to be done to set it. That's why people often had deformed limbs even after setting. it was almost impossible to Feel just where and how the two pieces of bone fit together, and to work them back so the bone could set into a seamless whole again.

It takes a long time to become a radiologist- 4 years of undergraduate, 4 years of medical school, 1 year internship, 4 years of radiology residency and 1-2 years of sub-specialty fellowship training. Average starting radiology salaries after all of this is quite variable and highly dependent on the market factors (supply and demand) and location. In general academic radiologists get paid less than private practice radiologists. Also, in general, undesirable locations pay more than desirable ones. Average reported salaries from 2006 ACR data are 410K for non- interventional and 440K for interventional- but of course this includes ALL radiologists both senior and junior as well as private and academic. Junior academic radiologists in desirable locations like NYC can make 200-250K, where in private practice in non-urban Texas may make 400K-650K starting.

A rheumatologist treats lupus in general however many different conditions can be acquired due to lupus. In such cases a different specialist may be required to manage those specific conditions. For example, renal involvement due to lupus will need the care of a nephrologist. Lupus patients may need to be seen by a number of specialists to manage different areas of the disease.

And let's not forget our Interal medicne doc.

Other than the obvious part about one treating many types of animals and other only treating only one kind - not much in terms of day to day life.

Relative to the number of applicants there are many fewer spaces for vet school so it is harder to get accepted into vet school than into medical school. Also, many aspects of vet school are harder as the subject material is different for different species of animal. Also, vet students must become proficient in things such as surgery that human doctors usually do not learn until residency (training after medical school).

Veterinarians training is much shorter relative to what they do. They come out of a 4 year vet program considered qualified to do surgery and treat a broad spectrum of medical conditions. Human doctors finish 4 years of medical school not considered qualified to practice any type of medicine (they are not eligible for a license at the end of medical school) and must choose an area of practice and go for several more years of more specialized training.

So veterinary training is more selective and demanding as far as the initial 4 years of school, however, human doctors generally train for 7 to 11 years total and do fewer things - presumably to a higher standard.

A nurse must be able to move around quickly, have a good hearing to auscultate heart rates, breath sounds etc. and good sensation in your hands since we palpate for pulses, temperature, turgor etc in patients. You need a good grasp on critical thinking and being able to think quickly under stressful situations. Multitasking is a must since we get interrupted multiple times during a task and we must be able to prioritize care.

That question does not make sence. If you mean how much do they make you should probaly repost, and if you are planning on being one i would strongly disagree.
Around 200,000 to start, then it depends on how good the neurosurgeon is.

All your patients will give you dirty looks when you are busted eating a milky way bar.. and on a similar note, none of the neighbors kids will come trick or treating to your house for fear of receiving a toothbrush, floss or equally lame treat..

kind of makes you wonder if this could be a contributing factor to the remarkable suicide rate of dentists (#1 according to many sites which monitor suicide rates by profession....check it out)

Of course. If the nurse dosent feel uncomfortable with the male patient.

Yes, they can write prescriptions for themselves but ONLY for non-controlled substances. (Controlled substances are those determined to have a significant amount of abuse potential, for instance many pain killers and sleep meds.)

However, generally it's recommended that doctors seek an outside opinion instead of self-prescribing.
