Can a doctor turn a patient in to Protective Services?

Yes, a doctor is required to turn a patient in, if the doctor has knowledge that the patient is committing physical or sexual abuse of another person. The doctor - patient relationship is protected except in cases where abuse is involved. The rules vary somewhat by state.

Can you become a pediatrician with a business degree?

Individuals who pursue a career as a physician come from a variety of backgrounds, to include business, education, English, the fine arts, technologies etc. Thus the answer to you question is yes. However, read the following from the department of labor carefully.

The common path to practicing as a physician requires 8 years of education beyond high school and 3 to 8 additional years of internship and residency. All States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians.

Education and training. Formal education and training requirements for physicians are among the most demanding of any occupation-4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years of internship and residency, depending on the specialty selected. A few medical schools offer combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last 6 years rather than the customary 8 years.

Premedical students must complete undergraduate work in physics, biology, mathematics, English, and inorganic and organic chemistry. Students also take courses in the humanities and the social sciences. Some students volunteer at local hospitals or clinics to gain practical experience in the health professions.

The minimum educational requirement for entry into medical school is 3 years of college; most applicants, however, have at least a bachelor's degree, and many have advanced degrees. There are 146 medical schools in the United States-126 teach allopathic medicine and award a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree; 29 teach osteopathic medicine and award the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree.

Acceptance to medical school is highly competitive. Applicants must submit transcripts, scores from the Medical College Admission Test, and letters of recommendation. Schools also consider an applicant's character, personality, leadership qualities, and participation in extracurricular activities. Most schools require an interview with members of the admissions committee.

Students spend most of the first 2 years of medical school in laboratories and classrooms, taking courses such as anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, psychology, microbiology, pathology, medical ethics, and laws governing medicine. They also learn to take medical histories, examine patients, and diagnose illnesses. During their last 2 years, students work with patients under the supervision of experienced physicians in hospitals and clinics, learning acute, chronic, preventive, and rehabilitative care. Through rotations in internal medicine, family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery, they gain experience in the diagnosis and treatment of illness.

Following medical school, almost all M.D.s enter a residency-graduate medical education in a specialty that takes the form of paid on-the-job training, usually in a hospital. Most D.O.s serve a 12-month rotating internship after graduation and before entering a residency, which may last 2 to 6 years.

A physician's training is costly. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, in 2004 more than 80 percent of medical school graduates were in debt for educational expenses.

Licensure and certification. All States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians. To be licensed, physicians must graduate from an accredited medical school, pass a licensing examination, and complete 1 to 7 years of graduate medical education. Although physicians licensed in one State usually can get a license to practice in another without further examination, some States limit reciprocity. Graduates of foreign medical schools generally can qualify for licensure after passing an examination and completing a U.S. residency.

M.D.s and D.O.s seeking board certification in a specialty may spend up to 7 years in residency training, depending on the specialty. A final examination immediately after residency or after 1 or 2 years of practice also is necessary for certification by a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialists (ABMS) or the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). The ABMS represents 24 boards related to medical specialties ranging from allergy and immunology to urology. The AOA has approved 18 specialty boards, ranging from anesthesiology to surgery. For certification in a subspecialty, physicians usually need another 1 to 2 years of residency.

Other qualifications. People who wish to become physicians must have a desire to serve patients, be self-motivated, and be able to survive the pressures and long hours of medical education and practice. Physicians also must have a good bedside manner, emotional stability, and the ability to make decisions in emergencies. Prospective physicians must be willing to study throughout their career to keep up with medical advances.

Advancement. Some physicians and surgeons advance by gaining expertise in specialties and subspecialties and by developing a reputation for excellence among their peers and patients. Many physicians and surgeons start their own practice or join a group practice. Others teach residents and other new doctors, and some advance to supervisory and managerial roles in hospitals, clinics, and other settings.

How do you find information on 'The Burma Doctor' Dr Gordon Seagrave who was well known for his mobile clinics during World War 2 in CBI Theater?

Dr Seagrave wrote two autobiographical books, one titled "Burma Surgeon" and the other "Waste Basket Surgery", based on his experiences. You might find them in the library.

Dr. Seagrave was a medical missionary before the war. My father was an Army medical officer in the CBI theater during WW II and met Dr. Seagrave. I've read a book belonging to my father about Dr. Seagrave titled: "Burma Surgeon" Gordon Seagrave was my husband's great grandfather. He also wrote a book titled "Waste Basket Surgery" about his surgeries preformed. This is also a very interesting book. Your best web search is "Burma Surgeon" or "Gordon Stifler Seagrave". The Doctor and Colonel was quite the hero and humanitarian. He performed surgery on the wounded along the Burma Road while marching in retreat from the Japanese. He earned medals for valor from Britain, Burma, and the US; an exceptional man.

He had five children, four boys + one girl. One of the boys drowned at an early age. His son Sterling is an accomplished author (I wonder if he is still in hiding from the Chinese Mafia?), and along with Weston and the third son, all are unspoken war heros in their own right. Weston was an excellent cook, mastering many dishes from the Burma region.

Doctor No has discovered an innovative technique that could help many researchers in their own fields of study Is it ethical for Doctor No to keep his discovery quiet?

Based on the information given, it would be very difficult to give a flat out yes or no. There may be many ands, ifs, and buts. Ethics are standards of behavior that indicate how a person should behave, based on ones perception of moral duties, virtues, that themselves are derived from principles of right and wrong. There are two aspects to this. First, the individuals ability to discern the difference between right and wrong, and second, the commitment to do what is right, good, and proper. Innovation is not synonymous with always being positive, but there can be some innovations that are negative. Thus, whether ethical or not may depend in part on what type of innovation one is promoting. Not everyone agrees that some innovative techniques are ethical. Abortion being one of them. This is why we have so many ethical dilemmas today, where there may be two opposite but equally convincing arguments to an issue. In this case, you cannot give an opinion one way or another, without knowing all the facts.

Where do you get a license for veterinary practice?

The state issues a license to practice veterinary medicine. And they only give them to people that have met the education requirements. Most states require that the individual have graduated from an accredited veterinary school and pass the examination. The fact that you have to ask indicates that you don't meet the requirements.

Does a Medical doctor lose his title of doctor if he loses his license?

No. In the U.S. the license to practice medicine is granted independently by each state. The degree "Doctor of Medicine" (M.D.) or "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine" (D.O.) is granted by a college or university with an accredited medical school. Therefore, if a doctor loses his licence, loses his authorization to practice in that particular state, not his title or degree. The same thing would happen if an nurse lost his/her license. They would no longer be a registered nurse, but they would still have their degree (BSN, MSN, etc.)

What are the kind of issues supervisors are faced with on a day to day basis?

Out in the world of reality this is a Supervisor's duties (in can change depending on the type of work): * They must be sure that all workers of that particular department follow safety regulations and ALL rules of the company. If a worker does not comply with these regulations it's up to the Supervisor to bring it to their attention and give them two warning and the third time you're out (in most companies.) * They must keep up on all changes to regulations regarding the company they work for. * If working in a company where their workers are using machinery it is up to the Supervisor to be sure all machinery is in good working order and is safe for their workers. * It's up to the Supervisor to protect their workers re safety factors; unjust treatment from the employer or, if unionized be sure the union laws are kept in accordance. * It's up to the Supervisor to communicate to their workers any changes in the companies rules and regulations. * Sometimes they must be sure that all inventory is up-to-date. * If the workers under the Supervisor are working with hazardous or dangerous chemicals it's up to the Supervisor to be sure safety comes first and that any equipment used for that worker is used properly for the safety factor of their workers. * If a worker is injured it is up to the Supervisor to be sure the worker receives proper medical care and report it to either Workman's Compensation (in Canada) or, Office of Environmental & Safety in the U.S. within a 24 hour period. * Supers are expected to keep their workers in line and resolve problems either between the Supervisor and a particular worker or if there are problems between two workers. * Supervisors should keep records of their workers hours as far as how many days a person takes off work or just doesn't bother turning up for work on especially Mondays (often called 'hang-over blues.') If a particular worker is not there to do their job then it sifts down to other workers taking on the extra load and this should be explained in detail to the worker that takes advantage of sick time or simply not turning up for their job whenever they may feel like it. * Supervisors should be vigilant in watching their workers to see who does a good job, who can be counted on so that all facts are there when it's raise time in a company. * Supervisors have the right to suggest to their Superiors if one or more of their workers (if not unionized) deserves a raise, or, if a particular worker should be fired and give a reason. ==== ==== .

If a doctor gives a patient medical file to her attorney including her records about the treatment for HIV is there any violations of hipaa privacy rule that may occur?

Under HIPAA, acting as Covered Entity, the patient's doctor may only give patient records directly to the patient's attorney if the patient signs an Authorization, as defined under HIPAA and descrbed in the doctor's Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP), as required under HIPAA (barring other relationships between the patient and her attorney, eg. if the attorney is a family member and also a Personal Representive, etc.). If however you're saying the doctor gave the record to the doctor's attorney, yes -- that's legal, but with restrictions. The attorney needs to sign a Business Associate's Agreement as defined in HIPAA, basically binding the attorney to maintain the same level of protection of the patient's information that he doctor is bound to under HIPAA. Additionally, if the attorney enters the patient's record into evidence in a trial, a previous agreement with the court must be established, that would seal the patient's records upon completion of the trial, so they don't become public record. HIPAA makes no special provisions for HIV patients. However, State Law very frequently does. HIPAA also includes the proviso that, when State law exists pertaining to medical privacy, the "more strict" law will prevail. By "more strict", HIPAA refers to whichever law more defiitively protects the patient's privacy. As such, State law may exist that would prevent such an exchange of records without additional forms being required, due to the patient's HIV Status, that would in turn activate HIPAA's "more strict" proviso. Note that HIPAA treats Psychotherapy Notessomewhat differently. While other violations are not described under current HIPAA case law or codicil, the patient should note that, once Protected Health Information (PHI) is entered into the public record (eg. as it would in a trial), unless the court specifically rules to strike such material from the public record, that information may become public. This means that the patient's Attorney is prevented from revealing the information under Attorney/Client Privilege, the doctor may not reveal said information as prescribed under HIPAA, but anyone else with legal access to the court record may do so, unless provisions under State Law further protect this. Note that nothing in this description may be or is intended to be construed as legal advice.
