These all make around $450,000 annually, on average (can be over $600,000 for spine surgeons). However, surgeons of all types and specialties are among the (if not the top) highest paid careers in the medical world. They also are always on-call (meaning that if there is an emergency they have to go to the hospital immediately), usually, and work long hours, often 60-80 hours a week, compared to the normal work-week of 40 hours. Oncologists treat cancer. Depedending on the type of cancer treated, their pay can be more or less than a surgeon. Radiation oncologists treat solid tumors through radiation make over $525,000, on average. Hematology-oncologists treat cancers of the blood; they make around $450,000 a year. Radiologists are another high-paying medical field. They use the medical imaging technology to diagnose and/or treat medical 'issues'. Diagnostic radiologists make over $470,000 yearly, while those who can perform certain procedures on patients can make over $25,000 more than that. Information from: healthcareers.about.com

What in the blood dissolves a blood clot?
From Wikipedia.org Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted and purified from a Japanese food called Natto. Natto is a cheese-like food made from fermented soybeans that has been eaten in Japan for many years. It is thought by some to be a valuable tool in minimizing the chances of developing heart and vascular diseases. Natto is produced by fermentation by adding the bacterium Bacillus natto, a beneficial bacteria, to boiled soybeans. The resulting nattokinase enzyme is produced when the bacterium acts on the soybeans. While other soy foods contain enzymes, it is only the natto preparation that contains the specific nattokinase enzyme. Nattokinase is valued in the alternative medicine community as a clot-buster and blood thinner, and is sometimes recommended as a substitute for daily aspirin therapy.

Why pancreas is not digested by its own enzymes?
The acinar cells of the pancreas secrete proteolytic enzymes as zymogens or proenzymes. These enzymes are in their inactive form and must be activated by something else. One of these enzymes, trypsinogen, is activated by enterokinase found in the cells that make up the duodenum wall. Once activated to trypsin, it activates the other digestive enzymes.

Can an x-ray show if a dog swallowed wood?
The higher the voltage used to produce the x-rays the shorter the wavelength and therefore the higher the penetrating power. Wood is not a very dense material and does not contain elements of high density and is very easily penetrated by all but the softest x-rays. X-rays used in radiology penetrate wood to the point that it is practically radiotransparent.
