What kind of Dr. should you see for left arm numb and tingling?
There are few reasons but first I should say that what you describe falls among the indicators of a cardiovascular incident -- a heart attack. If you also experience pain in your chest, sweating, difficulty breathing, turning pale, or if this injury alone makes you worry, consider a 911 call. If you rule out heart attack, these symptoms are also indicative of a back injury, typically in the cervical or thoracic back. If you've had a recent back injury (including any deceleration event that could cause whiplash), this may be the answer. If so, a course of ibuprofin or aspirin might help. I'd also cold pack the back if you can find tender spots, and see if this goes away in an hour or so. In any case, if this problem continues, your doctor needs to know.

What classes do you need to take in high school to become a psychiatrists?
Talk to your counselor to be sure, but generally speaking, you want to take all the Biology, sociology, science and math classes you can. Tell your counselor what you aspire to, and that you are to be considered "pre-pre-med." Then you'll be certain to get the classes you need. Definitely start early and take as many extra credit things you can (go for the seals and ribbons at graduation, and you will give yourself many more choices at college application time).
How do you reduce face swelling?
For a quick fix, place two spoons in the freezer for 20 minutes, then hold them under your eyes. The cold will temporarily cause the blood vessels under your eyes to constrict and thus reduce the swelling. For an everyday solution, buy an eye cream that contains caffeine. Not only is using an eye cream one of the best things you can do to fight off wrinkles, but the caffeine in the cream will help to decrease the swelling. Apply morning and night.

How do you find out a doctors credentials?
You can check on a particular license by asking the governmental agency that issued it. You can check on all the licensure and specialty certifications of a physician or surgeon by checking with a third-party certification board.
In the United States, medical licenses are issued by the medical board of each state government. The medical license permits a physician or surgeon to practice medicine within that state. Requirements for a medical license vary somewhat from state to state but generally require a doctorate in medicine from a recognized medical school and a satisfactory residency.
Additionally, physicians and surgeons who specialize in a particular branch of medicine can be certified by an independent board. There are currently twenty-four such voluntary organizations under the umbrella of the American Board of Medical Specialties. To receive certification from these boards, a physician or surgeon pays an annual fee, verifies his or her licenses, verifies his or her training in the specialization, passes an examination in that specialty, and provides evidence of continuing education in that specialty.
Physicians and surgeons around the world follow broadly similar practices. In Mexico, for one example, the license (called the cédula profesional) is issued by the SecretarÃa de Educación Pública and is maintained in its Registro Nacional de Profesionistas while the certification of forty-seven specializations is overseen by the Comité Normativo Nacional de Consejos de Especialidades Médicas, A.C., a non-governmental association. Throughout Great Britain, the licensing authority is the quasi-governmental General Medical Council, which also maintains specialist registries.
The recent popularity of medical tourism has brought about a certification board at the international level. The International Board of Medicine and Surgery applies the procedures of U.S. public-health organizations as described above to the certification of physicians, surgeons, and dentists anywhere in the world. Because of the distances involved in most medical tourism, IBMS also asks of its certified members that they be financially responsible to their patients in the event of medical complications even after a patient has returned home.
Why do girls seem to like doctors so much or is that just a myth?
I am not going to try to represent the female community as a whole, but in my opinion it all depends on what kind of doctor it is, and what the girls' experience with doctors is. If it is a female health doctor some girls may feel uncomfortable with the doctor examining their private parts and are likely to not like this doctor as much. If it is a OB/GYN doctor, because this doctor is helping them have a healthier baby, girls are more likely to like this doctor. A girls normal physician is generally liked after a certain period of time when the girl feels comfortable with her doctor. This is often the situation with all doctors, as a rule, the more you know them, the more you like them. However, some girls may feel they can confide more in their female health doctor and may like them more because of this. And some girls may not like a OB/GYN because they feel they can take care of their baby them self or they have a bad experience with one, such as having to go through an abortion or miscarriage. But even this can be different, as some girls are glad to have an abortion, or feel safe with their doctor because they gave them an abortion when their parents may not have approved or would have been mad at her. Generally, with specialists, patients either like them or hate them either because they make them feel uncomfortable, misunderstood, and visa versa. So, I cannot say if girls like doctors more or less than boys do. It may be that girls just don't complain as often, or they have different kinds of doctors than boys. It is all subjective. I would not advise quizzing a future girlfriend on the subject, as doctors can be a touchy subject, until later in the relationship. Girls may like psychiatrists more than boys because girls tend to like expressing their feelings more and are more sensitive generally. But not all girls are the same.
