Doctors

THESE ARE PHYSICIANS TRAINED TO specifically repair damage or anomolies of the skeletal system; spine, bones, joints etc... Their general focus is the neck, back, arms, elbows, hands, hips, knees, feet, ankles and the like. A family doctor will refer a patient to an orthopedist when the patient needs a physician who works in this particular area of medicine.

The scalp is anywhere on your head. A contusion is merely a bruise. A bruise means some force broke capillaries right under the skin. The slight bit of bleeding leeks into the tissue, causing a "bruise". A scalp contusion is no different than having a bruise on your shin.

A specialist that deals with the digestive system is called a gastroenterologist. Gastroenterology covers the specialization of the complete digestive system, from the mouth to the anus. It takes 11 to 12 years to become a fully qualified gastroenterologist.

a dermatoligist is a physician who treats burns, rashes, skin infections, etc. pretty much anything that has to do with the skin.

Becoming a doctor requires more training than most other jobs. It usually takes at least 11 years to become a doctor: 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 3 years working in a hospital. For some specialties, doctors may have to work in a hospital for up to 8 years before they are trained.

If they are taken accurately, yes. According to the ClearBlue pregnancy test accuracy results they are: 4 days before expected period= 51% accurate

3 days before expected period= 82% accurate

2 days before expected period= 90% accurate

1 day before expected period =95% accurate

the day of expected period =99% accurate

There is not such thing as just a baby doctor. There is a doctor that works with kids called a pediatrician. If you are a pediatrician you are considered to work with all children including babies. Now to help with the birthing of babies you have to be a different kind of doctor.

The brain, with all its millions of neural connections, weighs just 3 pounds. Cutting one open requires nerves of steel, guts and intellect. If you think you've got the right stuff--and the patience to train for 14 to 20 years--read on. Steps: 1. Ask yourself whether you have what it takes to do the job before you commit to decades of training. Brain surgeons not only need skill, stamina and dexterity, but also have to keep their cool in highly emotional situations. Interview several neurosurgeons. 2. Get into the best school you can (see 150 Get Into a Top College or University) and earn a four-year pre-med degree. Some medical schools require only three years of pre-med studies, but most applicants have a bachelor's or advanced degree. Excel in biology, chemistry and mathematics. 3. Prepare for fierce competition when applying to medical school. Schools look at transcripts, letters of recommendation and Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores, as well as extracurricular activities. Find out from medical students what to expect in your interview with a medical school's admissions committee. See 151 Ace the College Admissions Tests and 155 Get Into Grad School. 4. Go to medical school. (A few schools combine pre-med and medical school into a six-year program, but usually you face four years of undergraduate study and four years of medical school.) In the first two years, you will take classes and begin to examine patients. In the second two years, you will gain real-life experience under the tutelage of practicing physicians. 5. Complete six grueling years of residency in neurosurgery, your chosen specialty. Finally you've attained a paid position. If you're like many brain surgeons, you'll spend another year or two doing advanced study in neuroscience. 6. Pass a licensing exam in any state. Many--but not all--states allow reciprocity, which means you don't have to get licensed again if you move to a new state. 7. Become board certified in neurosurgery. This involves studying for and taking a rigorous professional test. It isn't necessarily required to get a job but may be expected later. 8. Find a job through your professional network. Ask the program director of your residency program to spread the word that you're looking for work. Network at meetings of professional societies and look at the employment ads in professional journals. See 201 Make a Networking Plan. Overall Tips: Unless you're independently wealthy, look into major financial assistance. Only 20 percent of medical students get through school without borrowing money. Even after two decades of training, you'll keep studying. To deliver the best care, you need to stay on top of medical advances throughout your career. Surgeons earned a median annual income of $255,438 in 2002. Fifty years ago, half of brain surgeries were fatal. Now it's less than 10 percent. Overall Warnings: Brain surgery is physically as well as mentally demanding. You need stamina to stand still for hours, performing minute surgical moves. Expect to pay an outrageously high price for malpractice insurance. Premiums have risen so much in recent years that some surgeons have gone on strike to protest them.

X-Rays were first noticed and observed by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895. A few days after his discovery, he used x-rays to take a picture of his wife's hand. He was surprised when it revealed her bones.

well if you are an adult then you can go to a drug store and buy one or you can go to certain pharmacys if not you can tell your parents that you have had relations with someone and hopefully they forgive you... : (

YOu can do your own test at home, ask for a home pregnancy test at the pharmacy or just pick one up from the supermarket. Just make sure you follow the instructions. If you are asking who cares for you, in UK it may be a midwife, GP or the obstetrician at a hospital, depending on the level of care you require. In US it may be a family practitioner or an obstetrician (ob/gyn the gyn being the gynecologist, a doctor who looks after the abnormal side of women's reproductive systems). As I understand, you can now use a midwife in more and more states too. Midwives are people whose expertise is very much in normal pregnancy and childbirth.

This is to hold the bones in place in the right position for them to heal properly. If this isn't done, they may not match up properly and result in loss of mobility and function. Increasingly, plaster casts are being replaced in some instances with air-filled casts that use air pressure to hold the bones in place.

The surgeon re-sets your bones back to the correct position, so they can heal. The plaster cast holds the bones in place so they can 'knit' back together - and, so you can use the leg (with limited movement) while the healing takes place.

Not really, as he has to send the smear out to a pathologist who will take a look at the smear under a microscope. The pathologist will send a report back to the doctor who took the smear. The first doctor will then let you know what the results are.

an Obstetrician is what laymen would call a childbirth specialist. do not confuse with Pediatrician ( doctor for children"s services) or child psychologists such as Salk (Lee) and Dr. Spock types. Obstetricians get in at the pre-launching phase.

Dialysis is the line of treatment most common. There are many different forms that are worth investigating such as peritoneal dialysis. Other illnesses or co-morbidities that are often associated or caused by kidney disease such as alterations in blood pressure and anaemia are treated accordingly.

Someone who is interested in entering the medical profession attends a medical school. First the person needs to receive an undergraduate degree from a college or a better choice a university that has a medical school. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree 3-4 years) they can apply for medical school which is also takes 3-4 years, and usually they will be required to complete an internship and residency at an accredited hospital.

Ophthalmologists treat cataracts, usually by surgical extraction, followed by lens implantation.

The concave mirrors provide a magnified reflection of whatever is being reflected. Since the doctors - and especially dentists - are often looking for small details in the reflection, this can be quite useful. This is often carried to an even higher level by surgeons who wear magnifying binoculars while conducting delicate surgeries.

Dr. Jonas Salk died of heart failure in La Jolla, California. He died at the age of 80 on June 23, 1995.

The benefits of being a psychiatrist is not just the money. It is the joy of helping someone restore their life. You are able to search the depths of their mind and help whatever might be holding them back from succeding or reaching their goals. Through pyschiatry you are able to create friendships and really get to know someone for who they are, not only their problems.

first they have to get a regular college degree from a four year, sumtimes three, college majoring in science. Then they have to complete four years of medical school and at the end pass the MCATS. After that they complete 5 or more years as being a resident.

depends where they live, but considering the degree in which they had to study to be where they are, its usually right up there with computer programmers not far behind doctors.

**EDIT TO THE ABOVE:

First of all, child psychiatrists ARE doctors! Psychiarist = M.D. (or D.O.) vs Psychologist (not a medical Dr.) ... So the salary is usually somewhere between an internist and a surgeon (depending where you go and what your practice entails) ...It depends on where you live, and who you work for. The "average salary", depending on who you're asking, is around $200,000 annually. What does this number come from? It comes from any Pediatric Psychiatrist who works at a hospital or such, or is in training as a residency. The pay range between those is $40,000-$250,000.

However, if you work in a private practice, you have the potential to make significantly more money, especially if you live in an area where the need for child psychiatrists is higher... like Inland California or North Dakota (i.e. In certain areas, like Silicon Valley, I heard of child psychiatrists charging $400 & up/hr, and that if they charged less, they were thought of as being not as good as others. This translates to at least low seven-figure salary! However, I'd say this is the exception, rather than the rule.)

Remember, don't pick something because of it's salary, pick something you enjoy! If you have a roof over your head, enough food, and electricity, then you are already in the wealthiest 8% of the world. If you have those and a job you enjoy, then you're probably not gonna end up much happier. ^.^
