What do they make starting out?
Answer:
i am a family docotor in the USA, look at the questions i asked and you should get the idea
i work 72 hours in a weeks and the next week i have off, so i besically work 6 months. i work at a hospital, with 10-12 hours shifts. but i enjoy my job because i work 6 months and still make $150,000..
i might work a full time job in the future during the week off and hopefully boost my salary to $170,000-180,000
it all depends on luck in how much you make and your locations, but the hospital is near the city so more business
any other questions e-mail, since this week i am off, lots of time off
It depends on specialty. The doctors making the most have to pay out the most in malpractice premiums. Specialists exceed family practicioners and some specialties of high risk such as neurosurgery and plastic surgery top the income list.
It depends on how much they work, where they work, what specialty they practice, the type of practice situation they are in, and the insurances that their patients have (or don't have).
Too many variables to give you even a ballpark figure.
Generally they make 6 figure incomes, but some make much more. It really depends upon the specialty, skill and the location. Here's a site that will help:

Do crash test dummies contain bodies of the recently deceased?
i read this somewhere and thought is it true
Answer:
Not in the UK,ther is a firm that builds them for research with various types from simple foam dummies to fully articulated types with costs for the more complex types going up to 拢10,000 each.If real bodies are used it would be in either Chine ,Russia or similar countries...
Ha ha ! that would be cool. But no I am afraid it is not true.
your talking about a "cadaver"(dead body donated for research) they use to use them in the 60`s,,,,they then moved on to live pigs as they have similar organs to humans
They use dead bodies for testing in the Netherlands. They're probably not the recently deceased though.
It is the absolute truth believe in the dummy, dummy.
ha - dont think so, but that would be mental
No not yet but they are going to use Illegal immigrants with any luck
Not normally (although there is some of that testing going on, mainly with the military.) Most "dummies" are just lumps that resemble humans with sensors built into them. They have the same mass (weight, and weight distribution) so they can easily duplicate the stress a human would go thru in a crash...
Ron.
No.
Don't be stupid. It would smell bad.
yes cadavers ( dead bodies ) have been used in crash-tests.
cringe cringe, they have also used babies %26 children when testing new child seats/restraints.
not something i really want to think about, but how else can they improve safety unless it's properly tested with a human body, behaving exactly like a human body would behave in a crash.
I really doubt it.
Human bodies are quite expensive compared to plastic materials with the same density as human flesh. Besides, why cover the face with a mask since it would deflect the impact? After all, these mannicans are used to calculate the amount of damage a human body experiences during an impact, and the head is the most important part. Finally, things could get quite messy since human bodies break apart into essentially a bunch of pieces of guts and raw meat. Polyurethane foam is much easier to sweep up, not to mention far more sanitary.
However, there is a place called the "body farm" which is used as a forensics lab. Human bodies are allowed to rot naturally in the woods to determine patterns of decay. This helps detectives determine the time of death and even the way a murder was commited.
They used to use dead bodies - not inside the dummies, just dead bodies. But they stopped because they found the damage to a dead corpse isn't the same as to a live body - same reason they don't use real corpses to test weapons any more, they use a block of special jelly. But crash test dummies have always been dummies made for the purpose
No they don't...they contain some pretty sophisticated measurement devices though. That is so they can determine speed, g-forces, and impact data.
no they dont, they just have limbs roughly around the flexibility stamina and bodys that would be as tough as ours to see the impact.
NO - I have no evidence to support your conjecture.
And it does sound ridiculous

Do any of you know any medical study clinic?
I live in Southern California and I am desperate need of money, fast! My only option is to donate my sperm of some medical research study. Do any of you know where I can find more information about this topic or a fast solution?
Answer:
You can just go to any hospital. Most hospitals have some kind of posting for a research study going on. or you can walk around a college campus. most of the common ones deal with smokers and AIDS carriers. so if you fall into either group you are more assured to get a posting. or you can go to the quest diagnostics website to find out. or you can also go to google and type in Ulcerative colitis, Hepatitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome etc. or to some pharmaceutical website and they should have a listing of their available studies.
Sperm study? How valuable is your sperm that you could live on the monies?
Medical test groups don't pay much...if they do it is usually only minimal.

Do all doctors have to have clinic duty?
I know not all of them do, but in large hospitals are doctors required to have clinic duty along with their other patients?
Answer:
K.K.,
The first answer is partly correct. Let's say that you get a job as an oncologist (cancer) at a large hospital. Clinic duty is a little like overtime, expect somewhat like, under time! If you work 90 hours a week, on just oncology, but you are swarmed with cases and you work about 130 a week, your clinic hours will be excused. However, if you aren't doing anything else, you will be given more clinic hours.
Clinic hours are hated by most doctors. Some even make trades to aviod doing them!
Talk soon,
Rob
I think all new doctors in the US have to go through a period of "residency" at a hospital before they can practice privately.
All doctors have clinic duty. The few execptions that I can think of are hospitalists, pathologists, and radiologists.
All surgical doctors have clinic. Where do you think patients come from in order to do surgery? You have to see them in clinic. So clinic is where surgeons see consults from other doctors who referred them to the surgeon. In addition, surgeons need to see their patients in follow-up, which is during clinic hours.
Surgeons typically have 1-2 days of clinic per week and operate the remaining time.
In some large hospitals, surgeons rotate attending duty.

DMSO for arthritis pain?
I remember gramma using this as a roll on, for her knees. Does it work, and is it still available..side effects?
I have arthritis and am looking for a non narcotic way to get relief.
Answer:
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a solvent that penetrates the skin into the tissue beneath. As such, if you dissolve a pain reliever such as aspirin or tylenol, it should work as a local analgesic, and may people used to do this.
The reason people don't use it much now is because of health concerns--there is some reason to believe that repeated exposure to DMSO may be teratogenic (cause tumors and cancer).
More speculatively, there is a theory that bizarre cases of "toxic patients" was caused by excessive use of DMSO--cases where staff and other patients in emergency rooms were struck down with nausea, respiratory distress and neurologic symptoms. It is remotely possible that these cases were due to excessive metabolic byproducts of DMSO.
In general, as with all organic solvents, repeated exposure is not recommended and it is not a good way to get tylenol or salicylates into your body. It is, in general, much safer to just take tylenol or aspirin, and you will get just as much to the painful area as any kind of topical treatment.
Addendum--the next poster is correct--horse liniment DOES work. The active ingredient is the same used in the "IcyHot" rubs, but horse liniment is much cheaper per volume :)
I do not know what DMSO is, but I have arthritis and have found that, no joke, Veterinary Linamint works.
I prefer the mint gel kind over the white lotion type.
I have found it in the Horse section of Ace Hardware.
Follow the directions, use sparingly at first, to see how you tolerate it. (Remember, this is for animals).
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) Was used in the 60's or so to treat pain due to different issues one included arthritis. There are very few side effects. But go to this web site and read. There is really good information on here. We get our med-grade dmso from the vets office for our dogs when they have pulled muscles and stuff. Its a miracle worker.

Disagreement in Medical Lab Class?
We are having a disagreement in my medical lab class. Which of the following is an example of administering a medication? Giving a patient an IM injection or The doctor giving the patient samples of medication to take at home. Please only serious answers. It is in our book but instructor doesn't take it the same way we do. We say it is the injection but he says that is an injection not administering. He says the samples is because the patient is being given medication. Which of us is right? Please help.
Answer:
Your instructor has a screw loose.
administering means to distribute. sorry but your teacher is right (my teachers weren't so lucky, so i sympathize with you)
You are right. This is from Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary:
Main Entry: ad路min路is路ter
Pronunciation: schwad-primarystressmin-schwa-...
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): ad路min路is路tered; ad路min路ister路ing /-st(schwa-)rieng/
: to give (as medicine) remedially %26lt;the antibiotic may be administered orally or by injection%26gt;
My dictionary says to administer is to apply or to perform. To me, this implies a physical action on the part of the doctor. The doctor must inject or stand there while the patient takes it.
I am under the care of a cardiologist who helps me as much as he can by giving me a year's supply of free samples of Diovan valsartan, for which I am grateful. He does not stand over me every morning, "administering" the medication to me.
In fact, I am taking two more drugs, furosemide and spironolactone. The doctor has prescribed 60 tablets per month, two per day. In is written instructions to me, he has told me to take spironolactone one per day; and furosemide, staggered, at the rate of 10 per week. He just wants me to have an adequate supply.
So: Who is administering how much to whom?
