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.

What doctors do radiologists work with?

What is the job outlook for radiologists?

Radiology job outlook seems good for now, but we can never know what will happen even 5 years from now. The average current salary is about 300,000. However, this is a balance between rural and metro areas. The urban locations may only offer positions near 200,000 and the schedule may not be as good. Some good groups only look for people trained at big institutions or at least have a fellowship under their belt. That means 10 years post-undergraduate training.

Remember, ALL medical professionals spend at least 3 more years training after completion of medical school. So that's 7 years minimum before becoming any kind of doctor that practices medicine. In all honesty, medicine will become a lowly field based on the current politics. I assume it will be dominated by vastly inferiorly trained foreign graduates (only inferior because their training climate is different than the US or advanced Western Europe nations). If you are a pre-medical student, I advise you to steer clear from medicine. Apparently, most Americans feel entitled to spend money on disposable novelty items (ex: Ipods, SUVs, Hannah Montana concerts) versus basic nutrient rich foods, medicines (generic, not pharma TV sponsored ones), and education. Primary care fields gloom will spread to the specialists. Then everyone will regret their 80 hour work weeks with unlimited liability.
