Absolutely, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) do the same physical exams as Doctors of Medicine (M.D.) and, just like Doctors of Medicine, can specialize in any branch of medicine including internal medicine.

You do not earn a doctoral degree in a medical specialty. You earn your doctorate in medicine, then you receive additional training in your speciatly. For instance, if you wanted to specialized in Internal medicine, you would obtain your undergraduate degree, apply for medical school and graduate. At this point, you have your doctorate in medicine (or osteopathic medicine, depending on the medical school of your choosing). However, as a doctor, you cannot legally obtain a license to practice without additional training after you complete your doctorate. So you must apply for residency (in this case, in Internal medicine) and complete that training, which lasts 3 years. So, all told, after high school, you receive this much additional training: College - at least 4 years

Medical school - 4 years

Residency (Internal medicine) - 3 years

---------------------------------------------------

Add them up - 11 years Other residencies are longer - for instance, surgical residencies are at least 5 years after medical school, so you base of 11 years after high school only goes up, depending on the training you choose.

You would need a gynecologist for a variety of reasons, including routine check-ups, screenings like Pap smears, and discussions about birth control options. You should also see a gynecologist if you experience symptoms such as unusual pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, or changes in your menstrual cycle. Additionally, if you're planning to become pregnant or have concerns about menopause, a gynecologist can provide essential care and guidance. Regular visits are important for maintaining reproductive health.

Approximately 50-60% of internal medicine residents typically pursue fellowship training after completing their residency. The specific percentage can vary based on factors like specialty interests, job market conditions, and individual career goals. Popular fellowship areas include cardiology, gastroenterology, and infectious diseases, among others.

No, but try crushing Ovex (mebendazole) tablets into vaseline to make

a good alternative. Mebendazole is safe because very little is absorbed

into the body.

The "immune system" produces chemicals (or "antibodies") which help the body to fight infections. When a body part becomes inflamed, these chemicals are attracted to the area in an attempt to destroy any bacteria.

osteopathic doctors (DO) and alopathic doctors (MD) are both well trained. MDs tend to specialize in one area of medicine. DOs are trained to work with the whole body.

DOs are qualified to take BOTH the DO and MD medical tests to get their liscense for medical practice.

MDs are qualified to take ONLY the MD medical test

Osteopathic Doctors must take more extensive medical school courses.

Personally, I am more comfortable having a DO as my doctor.

For all practical purposes, there is absolutely no difference between the two degrees and the people who hold them. The best thing you can do is find a doctor whose personality you find agreeable. This may be an MD or a DO.

You would have to have it tested. Ask a doctor about it.

Sure, an internal medicine physician or a cardiologist would be excellent choices so you can manage your hypertension. It's also very important to keep that under control, so the sooner you see your doctor to get it under control, the better off you'll be.

A hepatologist is a doctor involved with the liver, gall bladder, pancreas and the vessels (tubes) that relate to those body organs. A hepatologist would therefore work in a hospital, medical center, doctors office or medical school.

Generally, this is considered a breach of medical guidelines. Patients should be treated with respect and dignity by all health professionals at all times.

The letters after the physician's name would depend on what medical degree they earned (e.g., a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine would have D.O. after his/her name and a Doctor of Medicine would have M.D. after his/her name) and also would depend on their membership as a fellow in organizations such as the American College of Internists or the American College of Osteopathic Internists. If they had such membership, you would see the letters FACI or FACOI after their name as well.

A Billroth procedure is performed to treat problems such as perforating ulcers or cancer.

Depending on the severity of the condition or its location in the stomach or intestine, the surgeon will decide on which procedure to perform. Billroth procedures remove the lower portion of the stomach as well as the beginning of the intestine, called the duodenum.

A Billroth 1 procedure is when the remaining part of the stomach is attached to the remaining part of the duodenum before the common bile duct. The common bile duct is a tube that delivers digestive enzymes into the intestine.

A Billroth 2 procedure is performed when there is not enough length left of the duodenum for attachment before the common bile duct. In this case, the surgeon seals off the duodenum, and attaches the end of the stomach farther down the small intestine.

Patients who have had either procedure must change their diet in order to prevent complications. You must work closely with your surgeon and a dietitian to learn how to lower your risk of complications.

Practically all hospitals have positions for specialists in internal medicine. It may be a good idea to network with former employees, co-workers, or classmates to see which hospitals might be hiring currently.
