In short, they function as a doctor's doctor. In general, they work in collaboration with other doctors in diagnosing a myriad of diseases affecting patients in many ways such as giving intraoperative diagnoses (frozen sections) while the patient is on the operating table, diagnosing surgical specimens following removal to confirm and further classify diagnoses to providing laboratory and blood bank services with the ultimate goal of assisting clinicians in their treatment decision making plans for their patients. And yes, they also perform autopsies on inpatients if so requested by clinical staff and/or family members.

You don't have to let anyone in the room with you and the doctor in any state. The Doctor may be required to furnish a diagnosis to your employer in a workman's Comp case. This is done on paper, not by having a nurse in the room with you.
Will you be able to have an MD-Ph.D If you want to become a cardiovascular surgeon?
It is not necessary. To become a cardiovascular surgeon, a physician must hold the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree or the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree, be a licensed physician, and complete specialized residency and fellowship training. A plain old DO or MD with the proper training in cardiovascular surgery (residency/fellowship) is what you need. The D.O./Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D. dual degrees are more research-oriented.

What happens with the ingestion of a straight staple wire?
Now, why would anyone want to ingest a staple wire? I assume you mean someone straightened out the bends in a staple used to staple papers...then swallowed it? If an adult or child swallowed this metal, please visit the ER or a doctor NOW. The stomach cannot break down metal. Straight wires also do not do well with all the bends in the intestines. It could get stuck or poke through the intestinal wall-- if it does, bowel contents can leak into the abdomen, which is a surgical emergency.
SO this is a SERIOUS issue, even if you have no bad symptoms (YET). The person who swallowed it MUST see a doctor ASAP.
If a PET swallowed this, get your pet to a Vet ASAP.
