What course do you take in college to become a obstetrician?

all of the sciences, English maths and then what ever you like!

Your primary concern should be to get good grades and prepare for college, taking the college prep type classes. It will help if you can take AP courses and even do the IB.

If you want to be an obstetrician should you major in pre-med or Biology?

Either one might be an appropriate choice. At my undergraduate university, "pre med" was not a major, although there were plenty of pre health professions students. They majored in biology, biochemistry, and a diversity of other subjects. A friend of mine who was pre med studied math! Most campuses have an advisors to help you with chosing appropriate courses to prepare for a career in the health sciences, but you can expect to take at a minimum: Physics General Chemistry Organic Chemistry Biochemistry Zoology Physiology Cell Biology English Before specializing in obstetrics, a student must first become an M.D., and to do that requires medical school, and to get in you need to take the MCAT. This is a standardized test that measures your understanding of the above topics. Additional courses that will help you in your career: psychology a foreign language business Internship units -- get experience or exposure. You can't usually get much hands on practice at this level but many doctors or hospitals will accept student volunteers or allow students to "shadow" doctors for course credit.

Advantages of using plastic replacement joints?

I'm not a specialist, but replacement joints allow the patient to move without feeling the pain that can plague joints in old age. Also, the pain of the operation is said to improve greatly within 10 days, and is almost gone within 2-3 weeks. Most of all, the replacement will allow a patient to lead a fairly active life, without worrying about having to walk long distances or climbing vast amounts of stairs.

Why should you not shake your leg.Give scientific reason?

Well, if you must know....

By shaking your leg you cause a bioxanfloctuate, which is VERY bad. Once that is started, a hole can appear anywhere on your leg, though it is most common on the bottom of the foot. Blood from veins and arteries will then flow out of the bioxanfloctuate hole. Ultimately, you will probably die.

Cold knife cone biopsy?

Definition

A cold knife cone biopsy (conization) is a procedure to get a sample of abnormal tissue from the cervix for further examination.

See also: Colposcopy-directed biopsy

Alternative Names

Cone biopsy; Biopsy - cone; Cervical conization

How the test is performed

This is a surgical procedure. It is done in the hospital while you are either sedated through an IV or under general anesthesia.

You will lie on a table and place your feet in stirrups to position your pelvis for examination. The doctor will insert an instrument (speculum) into your vagina to open the vaginal walls and examine the cervix.

A small cone-shaped sample of tissue is removed from the cervix and examined under a microscope for any signs of cancer. This biopsy may also be the treatment if the doctor removes all of the diseased tissue.

How to prepare for the test

As with any procedure that is done under anesthesia, you will probably need to fast for 6 - 8 hours. You must sign an informed consent form. The procedure is done on the same day (outpatient) and a hospital stay is usually not needed.

How the test will feel

After the procedure, you may have some cramping or discomfort for a week or so. For about 4 - 6 weeks avoid:

  • Douching (you should never do this in any case)
  • Sexual intercourse
  • Using tampons

For 2 - 3 weeks after the procedure, you may have discharge that is:

  • Bloody
  • Heavy
  • Yellow-colored
Why the test is performed

Before colposcopy was commonly used, cold knife cone biopsy was the standard next step to diagnose the cause of worrisome Pap smear results. Now, colposcopy is almost always the first step.

A cold knife biopsy may be done if a cervical biopsy using colposcopy cannot find the cause of an abnormal Pap smear.

Conization may also be used to treat moderate to severe biopsy results (CIN II or III). Very early stage cervical cancer (stage 0 or IA1) may be treated with conization. Abnormal cells from the cervical canal, including adenocarcinoma in situ, may be diagnosed, and sometimes treated with cone biopsy.

Normal Values

There are no precancerous or cancerous cells in the cervix.

What abnormal results mean

Most often, abnormal results mean that there is an area of precancerous or cancerous cells.

What the risks are
  • Bleeding
  • Incompetent cervix (which may lead to premature delivery)
  • Infection
  • Scarring of the cervix (which may cause painful menstrual periods, make it more difficult for doctors to read an abnormal Pap smear, increase the chance for premature delivery, and make it harder to become pregnant)

What should you look for in choosing good earphones for your MP3 player?

There are several areas to look at when choosing earphones. This is a great example of "getting what you payed for." If you don't want to spend the money then you're not going to get the quality you want. Ok, that being said... One size fits all is pure B.S. Ear buds can become very uncomfortable after an hour or two in your ear. Try to find a set that comes with different sized, custom fitted ear pieces. Some earphones also come with a piece that wraps behind the ear and that can become very annoying, as well. I have tried a few sets myself and wasn't real impressed with any of them. The sound quality is about half of what you get from the old skool headphones because they don't cover the entire ear. So, if sound quality is what you're after, buy the big headphones. If you don't want to look like an air traffic controller, then I would suggest only the best earphones... BOSE. They are $150, but well worth the money as far as comfort and quality are concerned. If that's too much money, try to find some earphones/headphones with gold plated jacks because they last longer and offer less distortion.

What is the length of training to become a stenographer?

I am a court reporting student almost ready to graduate :) The length of time it takes to become a stenographer completely depends on the student. The average length of time is 2 1/2 years at a technical school. It takes a lot of training and a lot of practice, but the rewards are more than worth the time. You have to take courses in English, Legal Terminology and Medical Terminology. You will also, depending on the school, learn CAT software used by many Court Reporters. This is a learned physical and mental skills, mostly made up of muscle memory. This skill will become second nature to you once mastered. Some students move very quickly while some take a little longer. Some students will get "stuck" at a certain level, while others will glide through the program. It usually just depends on how much time and effort you put into it. You will not be able to pass with anything less than 96% acuracy on any speed test. After all, you will be responsible for the acurate record of depositions, court proceedings, grand jury proceedings, captioning (TV, Conventions, Churches, etc.)

Do you get your bachelor's degree if you go to a two year college and then transfer for two more years to a university?

In principle, yes...

There's a UK qualification called the Higher National Diploma (2 years) - typically awarded in areas like sciences, engineering, business, accountancy, management etc - and many universities accept this as the first half of a matching degree course. So, many people do an HND & then later (maybe after working for a few years) go on to take a bachelor's degree after another 1-2 years of study.

There are also "Foundation Degrees", usually offered in areas like education, health care, performing arts etc.. Like the HND these are qualifications in their own right (eg for teacher assistants in primary schools; health care workers in care homes etc), but most can be upgraded to full degrees with extra study.

An American Associate Degree will sometimes be accepted by some British universities (depending very much on the universities & courses applied for) for direct admission to the second year of bachelor degree courses.

How many years to become an obstetrician?

Undergraduate degree (BA or BS, 4 years) Medical school (4 years) OB/GYN residency (4 years) Medical school is very competitive. You need good grades in college and a good score on your MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) to get in. You must also meet all the prerequisites of the medical school you are applying to, which usually includes at least one year of biology and two years of chemistry courses. 4-5 years of medical school 2 years of foundation programme 7 years of specialist training studying Obstetrics & Gynaecology Your A Level and GCSE grades have to be very high to get into medical school because it is very competitive. Also to go to medical school you MUST do 2 Science A-Levels including Chemistry. So that's like 13 years minimum in total, it's really long but bear in mind that majority of the specialist training is actually WORKING with professionals in the hospital.
