yeah im near qualifying in my  medical degree(MBcHB sheffield), well you deal with sick people in every day working life with many differet problems depending what you would eventually specialise in. for example general surgeons operate on the bowel removing tumours/ sections of bowel etc a cardiologist deals with problems of the heart eg heart failure where the heart isnt working as well as it should. saying this all specialities interrelate in alot of patients, so you tend to deal with patients with a mixture of illnesses.\nexpect to see blood /guts/vomit/diarrhoea/ nasty puss in infected wounds etc etc IT IS NOT GLAMOROUS! so dont be fooled thinking it is from tv programmes.\nat medical school you tend to spend the first few years (UK) academic science work in the uni through lectures/dissection of cadavers/ group work etc, where you learn about all the body systems how they function normally and what goes wrong with them, at the same time trying to show you the anatomy in the body by dissection. you also get taught the types of symptoms patients will suffer from certain diseases. As you progress to the clinical years you learn more in depth the mechanisms of disease and their treatment, including pharmocology/biochemistry/microbiology.\nwhilst on placements on wards you are taught how to examine the body systems( eg listen to the heart), take histories from patients (eg what did they come in with etc ) perform clinical skills (eg take blood ) with every year you get to do more and more.... i hope this helps, if you are interested you should try and get a taster at a hospital etc i love medicine because its a very challenging environment, its different most days at work, there is a real feeling of satisfaction to see a patient walk out of hospital well, on the downside you do have to deal with death and believe me telling relatives this news is awful but you can take comfort in the fact that everything possible was done.\n\nas far as miss anaesthesiologist, taking the pee out of your writing just ignore it, like most people of the 21st century who use text messaging, you do sometimes end up spelling like that, so long as you can form a sentance on a day to day basis .........

I'm taking their Medical Coding & Billing Diploma program.  I'm about half way finished.  So far I'm happy with my studies however I really wish there were interaction between students in the same program through a discussion board - espiecially once I get to the actual coding courses. It would be great to communicate back and forth with the instructor and other students to get some "real world" feedback.  Books can only teach you so much.

I'm studying to be a Medical Assistant and I had to take Medical Math(dosage Calculations) and I did surprisingly well in the class despite being HORRIBLE in math. Don't be so hard on yourself. Study up on fractions and decimels and the metric system..it isn't as confusing as you think it is. Study hard - YOU CAN DO IT!;)

with time more and more diseases are surfacing and more and more medicines are being developed and so the scope is just fabulous provided you have aptitude for the subject

i took pharmacology and it was interesting. It a course about different kinds of drugs. It discusses the affects, the symptoms and the classification of the drug.

Anatomy was pretty difficult but it turned out to be fairly interesting.  People will always have health issues so take the course and if you like it you can get into the medical field.

Its very important.  being an immunology student im a little biased, but its the fastest moving science at the moment.  If there were no immunologsts then your doctor would be no more than a mere Quack

It's like why you study economy when you want to make any bussiness. We study something, because we NEEDED it! That alone can makes sense. I can't understand if you don't feel the need to understand how's your body work, what disease is it and what type of microorganism that caused it and what treatment is best to heal it, and such.

It matters what interests you.  Me, personally, the brain interests me, so I would like to be in the field of neurology.  I know two other people who would rather go into pharmacy and cardiology, but that was their choices, and not mine.

I like maths and I'm very good at it. As I'd say, I do calculations every day. I also like chemistry, but only inorganic.  I find it very interesting.
