Doctors

Obviously it depends on a myriad of things, including what exactly you mean.

All doctors will usually have some time in which to eat throughout the day. For GPs this is usually a set time because their day is very structured. For hospital doctors it will most likely be at whatever time is convenient although there is usually no precise time. Quite often there are afternoon lectures/teaching in hospitals and this serves as an opportune time to have a bite. Occasionally when it is very busy you may have to forego any break at all during the day but this would be discouraged since this would be detrimental to your own health.

As someone who has been involved in the profession for nearly a decade, I can give you an answer with some caveats. The first thing to know is that most NDs end up opening up their own clinic. Some do work on a contract basis at a facility but this is less common. Even less common is a salaried position as an ND - or any physician for that matter. A typical ND's first year of income is often quite small because they are usually starting a practice without a patient base and don't have insurance companies to put them "in network" (varies by state) to generate a patient base. The first 3-6 months, their practice may operate at a loss until they have enough patient volume to cover their expenses. Expenses are generally quite low compared to many other medical offices so once patient volume picks up, the income potential is generally quite good. That said, a first year in private practice might only result in a $20k-$30k income. Five years it is more typically $60k-$70k and it continues to grow from there. This is often satisfactory for many NDs who tend to value a work life balance more than most. NDs will often trade off long hours for more personal time. However, NDs who are more motivated to build their practices and work 45-50 hours a week can reasonably expect to make $80k-$200k (depending on where you live, your bedside manner and your business acumen).

I can tell you from experience that making over $200k/year, practicing in a general practice setting in a major metropolitan area where NDs are licensed, is very achievable. Also, the profession is developing more specialities in areas related to orthopedics, cancer, etc and some of those NDs are doing even better than that.

In the end, it is really about what the ND wants out of their career. Its a tremendous profession full of intelligent, forward-thinking, genuine, beautiful and caring people and I'm glad to be part of it!

Visual acuity measures how clearly the patient can see. It is measured for each eye separately, with and without the current prescription. It is usually measured with a Snellen eye chart, a poster with lines of different-sized letters.

How much money dose a radiologist therapist make?

Most radiologists are employed full-time and work a 5-day, 40 to 50-hour week. However, this number may vary considerably depending on experience. At the beginning of their careers, doctors are often expected to work much longer hours. Those who work in clinics or hospitals may have to work evening and weekend shifts to meet the needs of their patients.

In addition to their scheduled workweek, many radiologists are on call at times when they are not at work. This means they can be called in at any time, day or night, to attend to emergencies. On-call activities can add several hours to a workweek, making it difficult to balance a career with family life. Also, working so many hours can be exhausting.

Radiology is not physically demanding work. However, there can be a great deal of emotional stress, especially when working with extremely ill or terminal patients. Despite the long hours and stress, radiologists report a high level of job satisfaction.

Potential hazards exist when working with certain imaging equipment. Exercising proper safety precautions minimizes the risk, however. For example, those who work with x-ray machines retreat behind shielding devices to avoid exposure to radiation. Those who work with MRIs make sure no metal objects are brought into the imaging room, as the machine is a powerful magnet that will draw anything metal across the room toward it.

Pediatrician

A mid-wife is the nurse who takes care of you during a pregnancy, & checks the baby is healthy etc :-)

ANP means Advanced Nurse Practitioner.

if you apply yourself you can accomplish anythiing

they do sometimes but they tend to miss out important factors or tests that need to be carried out. they don't always know whats best and can make matters worse.

A higher position than a general pediatrician would be a surgeon or head pediatrician in a hospital. Many medical jobs are on an even playing field and there are few head positions.

One device that your doctor can use on you is a pacemaker. You doctor will put the pacemaker under your skin and it will stay there.

Yes, although the title is rarely used outside of academia. The title of "doctor" is not exclusive to the Doctor of Medicine. All holders of research and professional doctorates are entitled to use title of "doctor".

Many doctors deal with patients who have cirrhosis, mainly depending on what the cause of the cirrhosis was. But there is a specialty who deals with the liver, a hepatologist.

The P.C. included in a Doctors name probably came after the name of the facility he works at and the P. C. stands for private corporation, meaning he owns the facility, or part of it.

Dementia is more prevalent more in the elderly population, so, a geriatrician would certainly specialize in it However, dementia is a neurological deterioration so a neurologist would also be a specialist for this disorder.

Heart attacks are unpredictable. There are typically no signs, but right before it happens in one of your arms (typically left) will have intense pain radiating down it. That's when you know its about to strike. By jogging, walking, running, etc. or any cardiovascular exercise you can seriously help prevent them.

The salary is variable; a rough estimate is 75,000 to 200,000 dollars per year and probably averages 80,000 to 120,000 per year. Private forensic work may yield a higher paycheck but requires more work and more responsibility.

Most doctors are in private practice are "self employed", meaning that they provide service directly to customers. As a self employed businessman, the doctor technically gets paid every time he/she sees a customer/patient. Usually he/she has to wait until the insurance company sends a check, but that's just a technicality, since the money is on the books as soon as the customer/patient enters the examination room.
