In the US 4 years of college PLUS 4 years of med school PLUS 4 years of residency if combined anatomic and clinical pathology OR 3 years if not combined PLUS 1 year of fellowship (optional but 80% of residents do a fellowship)

There is not really an exact number of hours it varies per doctor.

I work for 6 doctors and they all work different schedules some days they have short days sometimes they have super long days.

It really just depends on what they have going on for the day. Here is an example of one of my docs schedules.

*Clinic means he is in the office seeing patients.

Monday: Clinic 8:30 - 12 am; surgery from 1- 4.

Tuesday: Surgery from 8 - 4

Wednesday: Surgery from 8- 12; Clinic 1:30 -4

Thursday: Clinic 8-4

Friday: Clinic 8- 2

This not taking into account that he also is "On-call" at the hospital and needs to do rounds at the hospital and sometimes is called during his time off to go in and see patients, and this could be at 2am on a Sunday or at 7pm on a Friday. There is no schedule for being On-Call, if the hospital calls he has to be there.

The best way to find out if your bipolar is to do your research. There are many surveys available online now where you can answer yes and no to different symptoms, moods, experiences. While this should never be used without consulting a professional (your doctor or psych) it can help you better recognize for yourself things that are bothering you. This can be the first step. If you feel you have several symptoms similar to bipolar like periods of hypomania, mania and depression, cycles then you need to consult a physician. They will be able to prescribe you the necessary treatment or send you to the right specialist. It is important you go to a doctor for a diagnoses because there are different levels of the illness and you could be on the high end and not even realize it and this can put you at risk and others (you attempt very risky behavior in the highs).

Dr. Jonas Salk created a vaccine for poliomytis or Polio. In 1954, Salk had done the biggest field trial ever recored in history. He did this experiment on over 1.8 million people. There was 2 vaccines. One was the vaccine that he has created and then the Placebo. Then he had a control group. He died on June 23, 1995. He was 80 years old when he died

From 2004 census statistics of the US Labor Department and of the American Medical Association, there are approximately 885,000 (884,974) doctors in the US. This represents about .29% of the population or one-third of 1%. There is roughly one doctor to 300 people in the US.

The fact that we can clearly see the ear canal and more importantly exactly what we are doing makes it an exceptionally safe procedure. It is a comfortable process.

Not usually. MD stands for "Medical Doctor" and is a designation awarded upon completion of medical school. Dentists earn either a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or a DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) upon completion of Dental School. A few Dental specialties require advanced degrees in other areas of medicine and may require an MD, such as Maxillofacial Surgery.

Agnodice or Agnodike (Gr. Ἀγνοδίκη) was the earliest historical midwife mentioned among the ancient Greeks. She was a native of Athens, where it was forbidden by law for women or slaves to study medicine. According, however, to Hyginus, on whose authority alone the whole story rests, Agnodice disguised herself in men's clothing, and attended the lectures of a physician named Hierophilus, devoting herself chiefly to the study of midwifery and gynaecology.

Elizabeth Blackwell is known as the first modern day female doctor. She graduated from Geneva College in New York with a medical degree in 1849.

There are two reasons why the doctor dips in alcohol before use. The first is that any infections of the previous patient may have does not infect others.

The second is that the Mercury level should fall down to below 35 degrees centigrade before use.

A doctor. "Doctresse" is an archaic term denoting a female doctor, but just like "professoress" and "instructress" are old terms which have been abandoned as there is no need for them, doctress is no longer used. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, 'doctress' cites it as 'rare,' and specifies that a note for its use: "Now only used when sex is emphasized; in which case also woman-doctor, lady-doctor, are more common."

You need 4 years of college and then you need to apply to medical school and get accepted. Medical school is 4 years. Then you apply to a residency in Neurosurgery and after acceptance, there is an additional 7 years of specialty training in Neurosurgery. Some residency programs will also require that you do additional research (1-4 more years after the 7 listed). You then are eligible to become board certified in neurological surgery.

Doctors attend college and medical school for eight to ten years after high school. The average cost of a year of college is about $10,000, and medical school is about $25,000 per year. That's about $140,000 just to become a doctor, plus the normal expenses of living for 8 years. Most doctors finish school with loan debts approaching $100,000.

Then there is a year of internship and two years of residency, during which they make very little (and work their a**es off). If she wants to specialize in a particular area, such as gynecology, pediatrics, or surgery, there is more training, more time, and more expense.

After that, if they wish to go into private practice, they have to equip and staff an office. That means rent, electric, equipment (expensive), licensing, salaries for staff, and -- the big one -- insurance that can run as much as $50,000 per year all by itself.

So now, after 20 years of school, including a minimum of 8 years of expensive college, and all that additional training, the doctor is about 30-35 years old and can start earning a living, paying back all those loans, and paying for the everyday expenses of running a practice.

Does that bring the cost of going to the doctor a bit more into perspective? How much training, expense and effort went into learning the job that you do?

Some additional comments:

1. My medical school loans are in excess of $200,000!

2. Doctors bear a tremendous responsibility to make extraordinarily complex decisions on a daily basis. The consequences of making an incorrect decision could mean that a person dies. This is not an exaggeration by any means. We deal with life and death every single day.

3. We cannot just coast through a work day if we are tired or stressed out, like many other people on earth. We must be on our toes, doing high quality work at all times. No room for mistakes.

4. Our rigorous training and education does not end when we finish residency! We are required to continue our education as the science of medicine evolves. In order to stay current and maintain licensure, we must take on hours and hours of continuing education courses. This takes not only more of our time outside of practice hours, but the cost of these continuing education credits, license renewals, board recertification exams, DEA licensure, etc. can be extremely high.

5. In my opinion, doctors, nurses, and teachers should be paid A LOT more than what they are making now! It is an abomination to me that the Hollywood stars and the sports stars are making millions and millions of dollars when doctors, nurses, and teachers are struggling. Again, as healthcare providers, we are dealing with life and death!!! I bet if I studied the lines I could do Jennifer Aniston's job (though admittedly, she is much prettier than I!) reasonably well with no training. Could she do mine? She makes more in one DAY of filming than I make in a year. That's just so wrong!

From a non-doctor's perspective:

The work of doctors is important, but the reality is that many are overpaid. They may say that they are saving lives, but the physicists that created the imaging equipment or the chemists that created the drugs are definitely making far less than medical doctors, and this is far more difficult than practicing medicine. Through lobbying by the AMA and the specialist professional associations, the number of slots in medical school and in some residencies is artificially limited, so that there are never enough doctors to treat all the people who need treatment. Specialists have been more successful in this than primary care doctors. Thus, demand exceeds supply, and increasing salaries have little impact on the supply. This sets the stage for astronomical price increases. The same is true of some allied health fields, in which the salary is far higher than the level of education, skill, and work would lead to in a field other than healthcare.

D.C. is a Doctor of Chiropractic.

The only doctors legally allowed to be called physicians are M.D.s (Doctors of Medicine) and D.O.s (Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine). D.C.s are not physicians, legally, and should not be portraying themselves as such. If you have found a Chiropractor portraying himself as a physician, please notify your state's medical and chiropractic boards.

First you need to go to a 4 yr college to get your Bachelor's degree. Then you go to med school for 4 years to get your M.D. After you finish med school, you need to do residency, which can vary in length from 5-7 years depending on the specialty you choose. Fellowships, which are subspecialization programs, vary in length from 1-3 years and you do those after residency. Overall these are the major tests you need to take to become a surgeon: 1. MCAT (in your undergrad college) 2. USMLE Part 1 and 2 (in med school) 3. USMLE Part 3 (residency) 4. Board Certification (end of residency) So 5 major exams in all pretty much

An oral surgeon, I think.

Dentists can often help with this too. There are usually both that specialize in TMJ related problems.

Pretty much all the treatments are unproven and contested, according to the National Institute of Health: http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/oralhealth/topics/tmj/lessisbest.htm

If you are a chronic bruxer, a thin custom mouthguard will reduce damage to your teeth and dental work. All the invasive, bite changing splints, NTI's, ortho work, and surgeries are unproven. Botoxing your masseters gives you temporary relief at best, and signifcant long term jaw bone loss, meaning don't do this unapproved, best selling treatment. Since we all brux occasionally, stress reduction can prevent it from becoming chronic. But once it is a chronic, subconscious, neuromuscular disorder, don't let anyone sell you massage or P.T. as a cure.

Unfortunately, the NIDCR has decided to defer a study of jsut how much TMJoint related pain is caused by chronic bruxing. I think before you let anyone diagnose by structural analyses, or diagnose by trying on treatments, you should rule out chronic bruxism, or get an ironclad diagnosis.

EMG home sleep studies are the effective diagnostic, and will also tell you if a treatment is working or not. Note that lots of treatments can temporarily interrupt chronic bruxism, whether silent clenching or teeth grinding (this can buy you some very expensive false hope).

If you have the obviously worn teeth of a bruxer, be very suspicious of any TMJ specialist who doesn't want to use non-invasive EMG home sleep studies (rent a unit from a dentist) - these guys get a big, "Why?" from me. Cosmetic dentistry and bite changing really can make your smile beautiful, but it's completely unproven and contested for TMJoint related pain. I love cosmetic dentistry's effects.

I have spent a house worth of money on all the contested treatments and surgeries for TMJD related pain, with occasional temporary relief, and sometimes more damage. My topos/scans/etc. are ugly, one ball is a raggedy D shape, what little discs I have are displaced, but the real problem was the chronic bruxing, so I function fine now. The one treatment I skipped is the titanium ball and/or socket replacement, since the Mayo Clinic is honest enough to point out right on their website that it rarely reduces pain.

And if it's chronic, don't let anyone sell you stress reduction or massage as appropriate treatment. Good living can prevent a passing bout of bruxism from becoming chronic. We all brux sometimes. But a chronic, neuromuscular disorder will not respond to being told to chill out.
