Domino Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I'm sure that you have to go do med school to be any kind of doctor. I don't think it matters...if you're working with kids or adults, you have to go to med school. Quote
Unstream Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Well I'm not sure you have to go into med school. Apparently certain types of doctors can go to grad school and get a Ph.D. instead of an M.D. (immunologists being one of them). Quote
Aloezam Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 True, but from what my counselor told me, a Ph.D. won't be nearly as useful as an M.D., especially in terms of average salary. Plus, if you go for a Ph.D. but have most classes in preparation for an M.D. it may be more difficult to find a job since you might lack special skills acquired in classes that certain employers deem necessary for their doctors. I'm just doing general studies this year until I can choose as well. I figure it's best to take classes I know will be useful in any career I decide upon. On the other hand, you could do the whole luxury doctor thing like Royal Pains. :P Quote
Unstream Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 What's the luxury doctor thing? I don't know the series. I'm more of a fan of House :P Quote
Spritzie Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Ah. I don't think I've leisure read in quite a while. I should do that. soon. Why have 12 hour work days if you only do active work for 3 hours? What are you SUPPOSED to do for the other 9 or so? *is curious* Basically, someone has to be onsite at all times, in the case that something happens, or they need something. More often than we'd like, we get Critical restores, where we have to get the requested tapes back onsite within 3 hours. (We store our used back up tapes offsite at a 3rd party location.) So someone needs to be around all the time. Nights, weekends, holidays. Quote
Aloezam Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 What's the luxury doctor thing? I don't know the series. I'm more of a fan of House :P It's a show on USA. It's about a doctor who moves to the Hamptons to be a concierge doctor to the rich and famous. It's a pretty sweet show. Totally unrealistic, but still fun to watch, especially if you like medical shows. Quote
livvy Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Do you need to go to med school to be a pediatrician? And just out of curiosity, why do you want to go into pediatrics? I want to go into the medical field myself. I'm thinking about becoming an immunologist. I want to be a writer though too. Oh, the choices. x_x Wait, so where have you been o_O? But that does sound pretty awesome :P Yes, I'd have to go to med school to be a pediatrician. I'm looking at pediatrics because I like children and children seem to like me. And because, as a CF kid, I've seen my share of pediatricians, so it's a concept I'm pretty comfortable with. For a week, I was with my aunt and uncle on their yacht. It was fun, but when the boat wasn't moving, the air was really hot and humid. Yuck. For another week, I was at the Furman college campus for a course in sustainable living. The class was made of 7 girls, who also made up my hall, and one boy. Lucky him - we were all fairly pretty. ;) And last week, I was in Franklin, NC, on a mission trip with World Changers. My crew roofed a woman's house. She was 82 and still did her own gardening and even helped us clean up the shingles on the ground. The experience was amazing. What's the luxury doctor thing? I don't know the series. I'm more of a fan of House :P House is good. According to our professor at Furman, one of the freshman seminars is called The World According to Dr. House. I hope that's still offered when I'm a freshman. It's a show on USA. It's about a doctor who moves to the Hamptons to be a concierge doctor to the rich and famous. It's a pretty sweet show. Totally unrealistic, but still fun to watch, especially if you like medical shows. Haha, sounds interesting. I may have to look for it. Quote
