Pediatricians

A pediatrician typically completes around 11-12 years of schooling after high school. This includes 4 years of undergraduate education, followed by 4 years of medical school, and then 3-4 years of residency training in pediatrics.

They will take your height and weight, look in your mouth, ears, nose, eyes, and check your skin condition. They will ask you to remove your top so they can listen to your heart and lungs through a stethoscope, back and front. If you are female they will touch and feel your breasts for lumps. They may take a blood and urine sample to test for any abnormalities. They will test your blood pressure and pulse rate. They will then ask you to remove your trousers or skirt so they can check your genitals, and probably touch them, but with medical gloves on. They will only do this to make sure you are developing properly if you are still growing. They will look at your configuration for signs of bone growth irregularities. They may ask you to perform movements like touch your toes etc. They should ask you questions about your health generally and whether you have anything that is concerning you. They may offer some advice to you on keeping yourself fit and well. They may bring your immunizations up to date.

I'm an actual pediatrician. Well, the job market is pretty good. This is because of my job and its pay.

Try washing under your arms if you don't have deodorant. It is not as good, but it is better than nothing. Take a paper towel and soap. Wipe of the soap. Do not rinse. Soap kills the bacteria that causes odor.

Shave under your arms. That does not let sweat build up and does not let bacteria build up.

The salary will usually depend on whether a pediatrician works for a HMO, is in private practice, works for a hospital, etc - however, a rough range in Alabama would be $105,000 up to $135,000.

all typess of tools like stethscopes and what not

Years of medical school. Otherwise, all doctors are human beings and simply get on with their jobs as do other people. Some will appear kind and caring but mightn't necessarily be as kind and caring as the more brusque doctors. You never know. I'd rather have a doctor tell me the truth, even if it takes a bit longer, than one who simply watches the clock to get to the next billing session. Some will have a good bedside manner and some won't. A good doctor is happy to research his patients' concerns and not embarrassed to admit there's something he or she doesn't know. Just let me look that up, is something I like to hear from a doctor. A good doctor doesn't wipe a patient from memory the moment they walk out of the consulting room. A good doctor keeps up with new research, reads the journals, and doesn't just prescribe the drugs from companies who provide lucrative gifts.

the conclution is the you can take care of the children and you can have the control of them

Physicians and surgeons diagnose illnesses and prescribe and administer treatment for people suffering from injury or disease. Physicians examine patients, obtain medical histories, and order, perform, and interpret diagnostic tests. They counsel patients on diet, hygiene, and preventive health care. There are two types of physicians: M.D.-Doctor of Medicine-and D.O.-Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. M.D.s also are known as allopathic physicians. While both M.D.s and D.O.s may use all accepted methods of treatment, including drugs and surgery, D.O.s place special emphasis on the body's musculoskeletal system, preventive medicine, and holistic patient care. D.O.s are most likely to be primary care specialists although they can be found in all specialties. About half of D.O.s practice general or family medicine, general internal medicine, or general pediatrics. Physicians work in one or more of several specialties, including, but not limited to, anesthesiology, family and general medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and surgery. Anesthesiologists focus on the care of surgical patients and pain relief. Like other physicians, they evaluate and treat patients and direct the efforts of their staffs. Through continual monitoring and assessment, these critical care specialists are responsible for maintenance of the patient's vital life functions-heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, breathing-during surgery. They also work outside of the operating room, providing pain relief in the intensive care unit, during labor and delivery, and for those who suffer from chronic pain. Anesthesiologists confer with other physicians and surgeons about appropriate treatments and procedures before, during, and after operations. Family and general practitioners often provide the first point of contact for people seeking health care, by acting as the traditional family doctor. They assess and treat a wide range of conditions, from sinus and respiratory infections to broken bones. Family and general practitioners typically have a base of regular, long-term patients. These doctors refer patients with more serious conditions to specialists or other health care facilities for more intensive care. General internistsdiagnose and provide nonsurgical treatment for a wide range of problems that affect internal organ systems, such as the stomach, kidneys, liver, and digestive tract. Internists use a variety of diagnostic techniques to treat patients through medication or hospitalization. Like general practitioners, general internists commonly act as primary care specialists. They treat patients referred from other specialists, and, in turn they refer patients to other specialists when more complex care is required. General pediatricians care for the health of infants, children, teenagers, and young adults. They specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of ailments specific to young people and track patients' growth to adulthood. Like most physicians, pediatricians work with different health care workers, such as nurses and other physicians, to assess and treat children with various ailments. Most of the work of pediatricians involves treating day-to-day illnesses-minor injuries, infectious diseases, and immunizations-that are common to children, much as a general practitioner treats adults. Some pediatricians specialize in pediatric surgery or serious medical conditions, such as autoimmune disorders or serious chronic ailments. Obstetricians and gynecologists (OB/GYNs) specialize in women's health. They are responsible for women's general medical care, and they also provide care related to pregnancy and the reproductive system. Like general practitioners, OB/GYNs attempt to prevent, diagnose, and treat general health problems, but they focus on ailments specific to the female anatomy, such as cancers of the breast or cervix, urinary tract and pelvic disorders, and hormonal disorders. OB/GYNs also specialize in childbirth, treating and counseling women throughout their pregnancy, from giving prenatal diagnoses to assisting with delivery and providing postpartum care. Psychiatrists are the primary caregivers in the area of mental health. They assess and treat mental illnesses through a combination of psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, hospitalization, and medication. Psychotherapy involves regular discussions with patients about their problems; the psychiatrist helps them find solutions through changes in their behavioral patterns, the exploration of their past experiences, or group and family therapy sessions. Psychoanalysis involves long-term psychotherapy and counseling for patients. In many cases, medications are administered to correct chemical imbalances that cause emotional problems. Psychiatrists also may administer electroconvulsive therapy to those of their patients who do not respond to, or who cannot take, medications. Surgeonsspecialize in the treatment of injury, disease, and deformity through operations. Using a variety of instruments, and with patients under anesthesia, a surgeon corrects physical deformities, repairs bone and tissue after injuries, or performs preventive surgeries on patients with debilitating diseases or disorders. Although a large number perform general surgery, many surgeons choose to specialize in a specific area. One of the most prevalent specialties is orthopedic surgery: the treatment of the musculoskeletal system. Others include neurological surgery (treatment of the brain and nervous system), cardiovascular surgery, otolaryngology (treatment of the ear, nose, and throat), and plastic or reconstructive surgery. Like other physicians, surgeons also examine patients, perform and interpret diagnostic tests, and counsel patients on preventive health care. Other physicians and surgeons work in a number of other medical and surgical specialists, including allergists, cardiologists, dermatologists, emergency physicians, gastroenterologists, ophthalmologists, pathologists, and radiologists. Work environment. Many physicians-primarily general and family practitioners, general internists, pediatricians, OB/GYNs, and psychiatrists-work in small private offices or clinics, often assisted by a small staff of nurses and other administrative personnel. Increasingly, physicians are practicing in groups or health care organizations that provide backup coverage and allow for more time off. Physicians in a group practice or health care organization often work as part of a team that coordinates care for a number of patients; they are less independent than the solo practitioners of the past. Surgeons and anesthesiologists usually work in well-lighted, sterile environments while performing surgery and often stand for long periods. Most work in hospitals or in surgical outpatient centers. Many physicians and surgeons work long, irregular hours. Over one-third of full-time physicians and surgeons worked 60 hours or more a week in 2006. Only 8 percent of all physicians and surgeons worked part-time, compared with 15 percent for all occupations. Physicians and surgeons must travel frequently between office and hospital to care for their patients. While on call, a physician will deal with many patients' concerns over the phone and make emergency visits to hospitals or nursing homes.

Pediatricians charge an average of $620 for a baby's first year. This includes preventive health maintenance, screening tests, as well as immunizations.

Depends on how long it has gone on, I guess. More than a week and he/she may need an antibiotic for a bacterial infection. My almost 2-year old has had diarrhea for almost a month and they have yet to find anything in any of his four stool samples. He is asymptomatic also, but without a small amt of immodium he would be on his little potty chair all day long. I would hate for you to go through weeks of diarrhea if he needed medicine.

Question is...would I want you assisting a Doctor at age 13....and that answer is NO my friend.

No he worked with other people.

Only one degree is needed and that's a Medical degree. But you're still not a Pediatrician yet. After med school you would need to complete a residency in Pediatrics and it wouldn't hurt to do a Fellowship and become specialty certified in peds.

There are quite a few places where you can still go to a Pediatrician if you are 21. There are places where the cutoff date is 18 (meaning after 18 you can't go to one anymore) and then there are places where the cutoff date is 21 (when you turn 22 you can't go to one anymore). I would recommend going to a specialist though because even though pediatricians can help, specialists well are specialists and focus on one study of medicine whether it be a foot, face or arm specialist. That and its embarrassing when you, a 18-21 year old walk in and see a whole bunch of young kids and babies.

They do that to check your throat for inflammation. That is the enlarging of the throat walls.
