What is annual income of Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine?
The annual income of Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) varies greatly, depending on where these osteopathic physicians practice and what type of osteopathic medical school education they have received.
For the American style osteopathic physicians, the income varies from $161,000 to $576,000 per year depending on the specialty they practice.

Should another person be present for male exam by female doctor?
I'm a male who had a very thorough physical by my (new to me) female doctor. Pretty much everything that could be examined, inside and out, was. After meeting my doctor and talking with her about my medical history and current concerns, I felt comfortable enough that I decided to not ask for a chaperone for the exam. And that's the thing here; there is no hard-fast rule as it has to do more with your or your physician's comfort level. If my doctor felt uncomfortable, she would have likely asked if I minded a nurse in the exam room (would have been okay with me, too). So, there "should" only be another person present if you are uncomfortable being examined alone by your female doc. Don't forget that any doctor sees many patients a day and at the point in their career where they're part of a practice, a body is a body, male or female, and there are certain procedures for examining that body which the doctor goes through. As an aside, my doctor had a great bedside manner, sense of humor, and very good hands. Also, I have to say that she listened much better and took more time during the interview and exam than I had experienced with male doctors. Not sure if this is anyone else's experience but it is what will cause me to keep her as my PCP. Hope this helps a bit...

What interests are needed to become a medical doctor?
First, there is no such thing as a degree in pre-med. It is a curriculum layout or sometimes referred to as a tract, which prepares students who intend to seek admission to medical schools. It includes activities such as prerequisite coursework, clinical experience, volunteer activities, and research.
While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in biology at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. The important issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisites required for medical school. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.
- Biology (cell biology, biology of the organism)
- Chemistry (inorganic, organic)
- Physics
- Communication (written and oral)
- Higher level math's
- Computer literacy
- Development of good critical thinking skills.

Why do some doctors look at your private areas?
Doctors do that so they know you're healthy. I just had mine and she had me take of my clothes(including my bra),but usually she lets you keep your undies or panties on. She waited for me to change and she gave me something to cover my vagina(and I didn't want her looking at my vagina or my boobs). Then before she looked she asked me about my periods and how many pads I used in a day. Then she put her hand under the blanket and was listening to my heart( she had her hands on my boobs and it felt uncomfortable) but she wasnt looking at them,but then she pulled the blanket up so you could see all of my boobs and she just felt them to feel for lumps. I was very nervous,but I also know that she is a professional and she isn't trying to offend you in any way. She might peek down your panties too.

How do doctors tell if a patient has schizophrenia or if the symptoms are from another illness?
Schizophrenia can be identified because of the odd behavior of the persons that it effects. Hearing voices, hallucinations, becoming catatonic, thinking people are trying to kill you, believing that you are an important person (like the president), talking in nonsensical sentances (word salad) are all symptoms of the disease. Affected people's brains can be differentiated from normal persons brains via brain scan as well. Certain psychoactive medications do help person with schizophrenia. Usually doctors make diagnosis based on symptoms that are observed in a patient.

What is the process for becoming a doctor?
The following timeline lays out the steps you must take to prepare for admission: 1. Decide on medicine
2. Complete undergraduate science requirements
3. Get volunteer/work experience in health-related fields
4. Consider a broad course selection
5. Develop staff/faculty advisors
6. Prepare for the MCAT
7. Take the MCAT exam
8. Submit transcripts and application materials
9. Monitor application completion/distribution
10. Interview if invited Undergraduate Studies: While a Bachelor's degree is not a requirement for admission into all medical schools, more than 99% of accepted students in 1999 had one. Until recently, nearly all pre-med students majored in Chemistry or Biology. Today students with all kinds of majors are being accepted. In fact, a recent study shows, "acceptance rates range from 45 percent in biology to 48 percent in nonscience and 55 percent in physical sciences. There is an apparent trend among admissions officers to encourage potential applicants to medical school to consider nonscience majors during their college years." (Fruen) The changing face of medicine is looking for "people" people, not just academic superstars as in years past. You are better off majoring in Philosophy and maintaining a 3.9 GPA (grade point average) than majoring in Biology and only getting a 3.5. So by all means study what you are interested in and what you're good at because admissions committees are looking for well-rounded candidates who have studied a variety of subjects while in college. However, there are still some very specific requirements for admission into most US medical schools, they are: * One year of General Chemistry with lab * One year of Organic Chemistry with lab * One year of Biology * One year of Physics * College level math While these courses are pretty standard, medical schools do vary slightly in their admissions requirements. Even if you are a junior in high school, it won't hurt to take a look at the requirements for the medical school you are most interested in attending and plan your undergraduate program accordingly. The biggest variance seems to be math. Some schools want to see a year of calculus, while others only require one college-level statistics class and others have no math requirement at all. Many schools are beginning to expect undergraduate course work in biochemistry and/or genetics. Again, check with the admissions office of the schools you are interested in for specific requirements. The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT): Upon completion of the mandatory course work, the next big hurdle you will face is the MCAT. The MCAT is the first of many major exams that you will have to pass on your way to becoming a practicing physician. All but one major US medical school uses results from this test to select candidates. The MCAT is offered in April and August of each year. It is a good idea to take the exam in April of your Junior year of college so you can have your results back in time to begin applying to med school in the summer. Most programs begin taking applications in the summer a year prior to fall admission. If you do poorly you can re-take the test in August, but doing so will probably delay your admission into medical school by a year and shouldn't be considered unless you are sure that you can increase your scores significantly. Many students take prep courses before sitting for the exam and find them helpful. However, the courses are quite expensive and if you are good at studying on your own, you can probably do as well without them. The prerequisite courses mentioned above all help prepare you to pass this test which consists of four sections: MCAT scores are based on the four parts of the MCAT exam: Physical Sciences (PS), Verbal Reasoning (VR), Biological Sciences (BS), and the Writing Sample (WS). * For PS, there are 77 questions, with a scoring range of 1 to 15. * For VR, there are 60 questions, with a scoring range of 1 to 15. * For BS, there are 77 questions, with a scoring range of 1 to 15. * For WS, there are 2 questions, with a scoring range of J to T. Try MomMD's MCAT resources to learn more about the test. Or visit the AAMC Medical College Admission Test page. Acceptance Statistics: There are two different types of physicians that we think of as "Doctors". The MD degree is granted from allopathic medical schools and the DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) is granted from Osteopathic schools. Training and curriculum is very similar between the two, with the main difference being that Osteopaths learn skeletal and muscular manipulation (similar to Chiropractors) to complement traditional medical treatment. Both are recognized and board certified by the American Medical Association. Although Osteopathic schools have lower requirements for GPA and MCAT scores, their acceptance rate is lower because there are less positions available. Also of note is that tuition for Osteopathic schools is generally higher since most of the programs are private. Following is information compiled in 2005 (* figures are for 1999) for acceptance to US allopathic medical schools. As you can see, only about 4 out of 10 applicants are accepted. US Medical Schools (Allopathic) * 125 schools * 37,304 applicants * 17,004 entrants * 42.4%* acceptance* 48.5% women * 11.3%* US under-represented minorities * 11.7 applications/applicant* * 59% Public/41% Private* Average Matriculant Scores
MCAT * VR 9.7 * PS 10.1 * BS 10.1 * WS P GPA * Sciences 3.56 * Total 3.63
* Adapted from: Pfizer Medical Manual, 1999 and AAMC FACTS Gaining Experience: It is very important to get exposure to the healthcare industry prior to applying to medical school. Admissions committees want to see that you have been exposed to the unique stresses of handling medical crises and that your desire to become a physician is grounded in actual knowledge of the job. Volunteering at a local hospital or clinic is a good idea, but your experience should be patient contact rather than just typing or filing. Having recommendations from doctors or nurses who have worked with you in a clinical setting is a major boost to your overall application. Obtaining a license as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) or Certified Nurses Aid (CNA) and either working or volunteering in those capacities is an excellent way to gain experience.
Can you Get rid of syphilis without a doctor?
Almost all STDs, with the exception of pubic lice, require a prescription from a health care provider. See your health care provider, department of health, or local family planning office for effective diagnosis and treatment.
You should never attempt to self diagnose or self medicate.
If you feel you have an STI you should seek treatment for it with a clinician.
I would suggest you see a doctor. Any untreated condition could lead to worsening symptoms.
How much money do doctors get paid daily?
Depends how qualified they are , what their speciality is and which country the work in !
Call the hospital now! If they are constantly 5 minutes apart you need to get there ASAP! Even if it's false labor it's still hard false labor--and they will either want to go ahead and let you have the baby or they will try stopping your contrations. It's not a good idea to drink castor oil at 36 weeks because your due date could have been slightly off by a week or two, as not all babies develop the same in the womb. But since the deed is done, call now! Don't even read this! Get off of the computer and call! :) Now!!
