That's easy.\n\nDo you know what they call the guy who finishes last in his medical class?\n\n\n\nDoctor.

For the same reason LPN's, RN's, RT's, MD's, & everyone else are. It makes people feel better if they whine about being underappreciated. Go grab a tissue & get over it.

They have to at least pretend so that they can eventually get tenure.  No university wants someone that doesn't know at least most of the subject.  I like the ones that admit they dont' know something.

Put your crack pipe down and step way back....they don't have "enough" control.   Universal health care will not work in our capitalistic society...and College will never be free...it is all a business and they are out to make money...yours!!!!

I am not exactly sure what you are asking, as that isn't a full sentence--but I will try to give some input.  \n\nJust the other day on the news they were discussing the current crisis in the medical field because of the drastic shortage of Nurses.  One hospital personnel director said she could easily hire 100 nurses for their hospital alone, because they were so short.  Nurses are feeling the strain of this by having to cover more patients then what they should.  This passes a danger on to the patients that they are not getting the full attention that they should.\n\nFurther complicating this situation is that there aren't enough Professors of Nursing available, because the colleges cannot pay comparable wages to what the hospitals supposedly can--to be able to teach the number of students wanting to go to Nursing School. It is a terrible situation and with the impending threat of Bird Flu, I fear that the medical world is going to be knocked on it's bottom.  I only wish I could have finished my BSN.  Hope that helps with what you were asking.  GL

While I agree with you remember teachers are on a schedule and have guidelines that they are expected to follow too. The pressure is on them and you.\nThey in general (I know there are some exceptions to the rule) want you to succeed. And they will do whatever they can to help you. But they have someone they need to answer to too.\n\nWho wants someone to fail in life? And besides that if your scores are low what does that say about their teaching?

Perhaps the faculty could have an assembly and address the issue .\nMany times, students do not realize that adult bodily functions slow down as they get older;therefore, requiring more concentration and Pooh time.\nI feel confident that once the children understand, they will be more considerate in allowing teachers  the time they need without beating on the doors and asking if they need an ambulance.

Sadly, most medical schools do not have a required course in nutrition.  It's a shame, though.  Nutritional guidelines are far more valuable to patients than just the old, "Lose weight."

They are too lazy, and there is too much focus on getting the right answer. If we were to allow students to work on mre open ended problems, real life situations, where there isnt one right or wrong answer they would be less likely to cheat. Its only when the pressure is on finding that one true answer that they get tempted to cheat, expecially when that one answer is difficult to find.

Not everyone is equipped to be a doctor. And in America, being a doctor is a HUGE responsibility. Patients sue if you don't cut their hangnails properly. The costs for medical school are astronomical and malpractice insurance costs an arm and a leg. There just really isn't a whole lot of incentive to be a doctor these days. Sadly.

Have you ever heard the term "you reap what you sow?"\n\nIf you just do the bare minimum in school, you won't get much out of it.  The teachers can't force you to pay attention or ask questions.  You have to do your part too.

Because they want to be physiologist.  You can still get your point across with two sentences!  Keep it simple!

Yes but not to practice their speciality, anesthesiology needs of the surgeons, they can't offer private practice because, what are they going to practice?. Are you in Med School?. I am, almost there 1 more year to go.☺

This doesn't necessarily apply to me directly, though I can appreciate the cynicism in the question. Still, there are plenty of people out there who would like to become doctors out of a genuine desire to help the sick, and we should give those people a pat on the back and a "thanks" for trying to make sure they are there when we *will* need them.

They are a proprietary school (for profit) more interested in getting a students money than providing a quality education.  It's not a well respected degree by employers.

not only did they go to school for a highly trained skill, the machines they use aren't cheap.  everyone thinks that when you go for an X ray and use those machines that its very costly, except IT IS COSTLY.  those machines cost HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.  for you to pay $80 is peanuts when you look at the big picture.  and their aren't millions of them like cars so they can't be mass produced, they are hand made.  And that is why going to the dentist and any other type of doctor that has those types of machines is so expensive.  \n\nThey're not trying to rip you off, in fact they are trying to give you teh best price THEY CAN AFFORD.
