What is mca bus ISA bus VESA bus PCI bus?
ISA bus was a standard used for years. It was first 8-bit, being the standard expansion slot for most 8086/8088 motherboards, but later extended to 16-bit, which was the standard for 286, 386, and 486 motherboards. Most standard PC's had ISA slots through the late 1990's. They began to be phased out in the early 2000's, and are now obsolete.
VESA Local bus was an extension of the standard 16-bit ISA bus, and gave a 32-bit expansion slot. These were seen in late 486 and early Pentium motherboards, which would often have two or three VESA Local Bus slots in addition to 16-bit ISA slots. They were short lived, quickly replaced by PCI slots.
PCI was introduced in the mid 1990's, and are still common today. Some late 486 motherboards had two or three PCI slots in addition to 16-bit ISA slots, and they became standard with Pentium systems (most Pentium motherboards, Pentium II motherboards, and some Pentium III motherboards still had some ISA slots in addition to the PCI slots).
MCA was bus developed by IBM and used in their PS/2 systems. It is to buses what Beta is to the VCR: A good technology, but made obsolete because it's developers made it too expensive for other manufacturers to license. MCA offered a 32-bit bus before VESA Local Bus or PCI were available.

Doctor name followed by DO What does that mean?
DO stands for Doctor of Osteopath. This is usually a doctor that takes the holistic natural approach to treating their patients. This doctor will usually try to avoid using conventional medication. I believe that this practice is very popular with the Chinese culture.
Yes you can. I would not recommend not taking a math class your senior year, but if you don't have to, then that's fine. But in college you will have to take math and you might be a little rusty when it comes to even the common problems. So yes you can not take math your senior year and still be a pediatrician. The same goes with science, usually high school arent as picky as people taking science as much as math. But yes same goes for both subjects.

Where did Elizabeth Garrett Anderson study to become a doctor?
Middlesex Hospital and London Hospital.
You cannot go to medical school unless you have taken a long list of prerequisite college classes (organic chemistry 1 and 2, organic chemistry lab, general chemistry 1 and 2, general chemistry lab, physics 1 and 2, physics lab, biology 1 and 2, and biology lab 1 and 2). You cannot take these at a radiology tech program.
Theoretically you could get accepted to medical school without a college degree, but you still need to have taken these classes. Thus, for all practical purposes if your ultimate goal is to go to medical school, a 4 year degree should be your path.
Also, medical school admission committees tend to like applicants with a diverse range of experiences and coursework. If your background coursework is almost all specific information related to x-rays this might not be so desirable.
To become a radiologist you need to be an MD first (4 years) followed by 5 years of residency training in radiology. Even if you went to radiology tech school first it has no bearing on ability to enter radiology as a specialty.
