How many pediatric surgeons are there in the USA?

What is the proper salutation for two doctors?
When writing a letter to a doctor, never spell out this title in the salutation line. Instead, use the abbreviation of "Dr." For multiple doctors, simply make the abbreviation plural. For example: "Drs. Smith and Jones."
It is customary and appropriate to use either of the following salutations, depending on the formality of the letter and/or your personal preference:
Drs. Smith and Jones:
OR
Dear Drs. Smith and Jones,
- Note that simply using the names, without "Dear" is appropriate at any time. (Not everyone is so "dear" to you!)
- Also note that if the tone of the letter is intended to have a businesslike formality, make use of a colon, versus a comma, after the salutation.
- Other Points:
- Do not use both the prefix and the suffix to refer to the same title. For example: Dr. John Smith, M.D. literally means "Doctor John Smith, Medical Doctor," which would be redundant. Just as you wouldn't call your doctor "Doctor Smith Doctor," nor should you write it!
- However, when the doctor(s) is the addressee, you would drop the "Dr(s)." and keep the ", M.D." at the end. For example, the addressee section of your letter would read:
1234 Main Street
City, CA 54321
- Followed by the salutation:
Dr. Smith:
OR
Dear Dr. Smith,

What are the treatment for anal fissure?
fissure cure
1 go to chemists buy a small jar of pottasium
permanganate also called condees crystals
2 also buy a tube of haemorrhoid ointment you
only need the applicator which comes with the
ointment
3 take a new sterile handkerchief or similar
piece of cloth
5 wrap the cloth around the applicator from your ointment so its around the applicator
and also covers the tip as well make the tip
not so sharp by taking off a small amount to blunt it before wrapping
6 take approx a teaspoon of the crystals you bought and put it in a clean jar about the jam jar size now add water slowly until you have a mix
which is like pale ink
7 get a condom and go all around it making small holes maybe 10 or so all around
8 now take your cloth wrapped applicator and dip it in to the crystal mixture until well soaked
and then slide the condom over the whole thing
until it covers the wet cloth.
9 now test the holes by squeezing the condom a bit to make sure it leaks out if not put more mix in to the condom to make it wetter inside
10 put an elastic band around the end of the condom to close it off
11 smear some vaseline or baby oil on the condom
12 insert condom in to anus a short distance
wiggle it about a little and the crystal mix
will leak in to your fissure area and enter the
fissure, do this once a day for 2 or 3 days
my fissure was pain free in 2 days and and
forgotten about after 3 days, my mix i used
was almost like ink color paler mix may
take a day or two longer to fix it, check with
a doctor before doing it is good advise, but
this will work if your fissure gets the mix
i was told it would be with me for a long
time without surgery i didnt want to go
through all that pain and this is what i did
exactly as shown, my doctor pointed me
to the manganese permanganate but didnt
show me how to do it he said sit in it, im
sure you see why that wouldn't work, so i
devised this sytem after a lot of thought
and i hope you get a fast cure from this
tip and no more pain, also think about
caused the fissure, eat fruit drink water
myself i make sure i have porridge of a
morning it seems to be a good habit
and its made with lots of water and some
skim milk
good health

What kind of doctor is an ophthalmologist?
To answer this question, it is important to distinguish between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist as people often confuse the two. An ophthalmologist is a fully qualified medical doctor who focuses on the eye. An optometrist is not a medical doctor, but does receive several years of specialized training on the eye, prescribing prescription eyeglasses/contacts and diagnosing eye disorders.
Legally, an ophthalmologist can do everything an optometrist can do although in practice day-to-day eye care is typically left to optometrists while ophthalmologists focus more on surgery, prescribing medication and treating more complex eye conditions. Both are an important part of the US healthcare system.
As for whether an optometrist is "called doctor," it depends on the country. In most countries an optometrist is not addressed as "doctor," this title being reserved primarily for medical doctors and those with PhDs. Within the US, the profession has made a particular point about wanting to be addressed as "doctor" and it has become broadly accepted convention to refer to optometrists as such.
What is needed to become a psychiatrist?
I'm aspiring medical school though I am only twelve and have researched colleges. I suggest that you consult with a college planner or at least do research before pursuing psychiatry because it can also affect one's personal mental health or private life. talking to people with disturbing thoughts can often make an impacts on a person. But if you really want to know it is 4 years of basic college and probably you'll want to major in something to do with the studies of human behavior or social interaction. After that you'd have to endure an even more challenging 2-3 years of neurological medical school then residency to either a mental health ward or private psychiatric practicing doctor. 16 years
Who was the first black woman doctor?
Mary Mahoney (1845 - 1926) was the First African-American woman to study and work as professionally trained nurse graduating from the New England Hospital for Women and Children (Now Dimock Community Health Center), Boston.
average for a doctor working in a clinic is from $55-70/hr which amount to salary of $140-180k/yr on average. Obviously its very different if they are partners in a successful practice or are doing more procedure (botox, varicose veins, etc.)
How long will it take to die from a stab wound to the abdomen?
The liver is extremely vascular, meaning LOTS of blood flows thru it. If it gets ruptured you have about an hour I would guess. Your body does a lot to stop blood from leaving the body, but without surgery you're a goner. Other than the pain of the injury, its not a bad way to go. You lose blood and just go to sleep...and of course never wake up...which is a bummer.
