Does hypoproteinemia cause edema?

Yes, low oncotic blood pressure is a major cause of dependent pitting edema. Proteins in the blood exert an oncotic pull on blood serum which keeps the serum within the blood vessels. A loss of these proteins decreases the ability of the blood to keep serum within the blood vessels and the serum will leak out into the interstitial space. Gravity then pulls the edema fluid downward into the legs.

What type of shoes do doctors wear?

It really depends on the job at the hospital that you have. In my opinion anything that is open heel or slip on like mules. It not only is too casual but can be dangerous on slick floors. I had a friend who slipped out of her mules and fell down a flight of stairs and broke her leg in three places. Safe and stylish is the rule of the day. Make sure the shoes are well fitting and clean. If you are going to the beach or a resort sandals are fine but not in the workplace. With men, dirty tennis shoes that should have been thrown away year ago are also not a good look. Also boots that look like you are going hiking or are a lumberjack are also a bad choise.

What do doctors do in a physical for 12 year old girls?

They check breathing, heart rate, eyes, throat, ears, etc.

They weigh you and see how tall you are.

They feel the testicles and penis (for a second).

Another answer:

Boys generally worry about physicals and doctors (especially females) messing with their "privates". At that age (11 or 12) pediatricians (kid doctors) rarely have kids undress. When kids are in their later teens, they will be asked to lower their pants, the doctor will feel for a hernia by asking the teen to turn their head and cough while the doctor feels above the testicles, nextto the penis. There is no medical reason to "feel" the penis, even for a second. If the doctor "feels" your penis for 2 seconds or more he or she is "fondling" you and I would report it to my parents and refuse to return to that doctor.
