All of the aboveThe average child should not be sick more than 5 days during the year, and has 5 unexcused absences. As physicians, it is our responsibility to communicate with our patients, their parents, and the school districts about factors at home and school that might contribute to absence. Numerous sicknesses can indicate underlying problems. It is recommended that excuses be given only when school attendance would put others at risk or the student is unable to perform school functions, neither of which is the case here.

For someone who holds a doctorate in philosophy there are several different career paths that can be taken. Most often, you will find them teaching in a university somewhere.

Philosophy can be a tough field to work in, but that does not deter many from pursuing it as their choice of study.

When it comes to doctors and their salaries, they are going to vary depending on what type of medicine they are practicing. When it comes to the highest salaries, orthopedic surgeons are by far the highest paid doctors in the world. This is because of a uniquely special talent that they have, and that is working directly with the bone and muscular system. They are able to operate and reset broken bones, fractures, as well as dealing with joints tendons, and other parts of the musculoskeletal system. Due to the complexity of the operations, and the skill required, it is not a position that just anyone can do. It requires a great amount of schooling, as well as a lengthy residency, and additional training as needed throughout their career as a doctor. Orthopedic doctors are in extremely high demand. From accidental falls to sports injuries, orthopedic surgeons remain busy and their schedules booked for months at a time.

As a doctor, there are several things that one should avoid if at all possible. Here is a short list: Avoid being alone with a patient - there should always be another person in the room with you. This will help to cut down on false reports of different types of abuse and allegations. Do not promise something that you cannot follow through with - this can be easy to fall into, but should be avoided. While it would be nice to always promise that the medical issue can be completely erased, sometimes that is not possible. Never promise more than what you can do. Do not prescribe medication for everything - there are some instances, such as with very young kids, or older adults that medications can be more harmful than helpful. There are certain illnesses that will get better with rest and time. Parents and caregivers should be informed of the best practices to help them recover at home. Some medications can have adverse effects on the body, and while treating the symptoms, can sometimes lead to larger issues. These are just a few of the things to avoid when you are a doctor. Using sound judgement and common sense will help to ensure that you have a successful practice and career.

An MBBS is something that an undergraduate student will obtain, and then move toward a more specialized degree in medicine. The MBBS is the first step into becoming a doctor, and a necessary step to continue on the goal of becoming a doctor. There are many classes that must be completed before a student pursues the path of becoming a doctor. As students complete their undergraduate degree, they begin to figure out where they want their specialty to be, if they have not done so already. Many will change their direction due to classes that they enjoy more than others. An MD is one who has completed all of their coursework, completed a residency at a hospital, and has successfully finished all requirements in becoming a medical doctor.

“Doctors” have always been around, although through most of the ancient and early medieval times they were referred to as healers or practitioners of medicine. Many times, they were not of high standing, although as times changed, the standings of medical professionals also changed with it. Herodotus is known as the “Father of Medicine.” The term doctor first came into usage in the 13th century, after the first two doctoral degrees were awarded, in Paris. We have derived the term doctor from the Latin phrase docēre, which literally translated means “teacher.” Not all doctors studied medicine exclusively. Many in the ancient and medieval times were also priests, monks, or held other high offices. However, as stated above, some were of lower classes, such as in Ancient Rome, where many of the doctors were freed, Greek slaves. This meant their standing within the community itself was much lower than those who were born as Romans. While medical knowledge expanded, so too did the standings of doctors through the ages. We see this in medieval times when the only people who could actually afford their services were wealthy patrons.

When obtaining a doctoral degree, one must be prepared to put a lot of time and effort into the process. There are quite a few requirements that have to be achieved in order to gain a degree. One of the most stringent and hardest to pass is the dissertation. The dissertation is an original piece of research, and depending on the field is often cutting edge. Once the dissertation is finished, it must be defended to a board. Only upon successfully defending the work will the doctorate be conferred upon the student. Because of the amount of time dedicated to the process, most universities only allow one doctorate to be achieved. There are rare exceptions to the rule, but in order to gain a secondary Ph.D., there has to be concrete proof that the fields will not overlap, thereby causing any confusion in the research that one has put into their chosen field.

An honorary doctorate is a degree that has been given to someone who has not fulfilled the requirements of the degree but has been determined to have made a valuable contribution to society. In order to get a doctorate degree, there are several requirements such as classes, a residency and/or a dissertation. Working on a doctorate degree can take years to complete. However, an honorary doctoral degree as described in Latin, “honoris causa” or “for the sake of honor.” These degrees do not hold any weight, other than being a gift or recognition from respected institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, or Yale. In fact, the first honorary doctorate was awarded in 1478, to an English nobleman, who had royal connections and a lot of money at his disposal. An honorary degree is a way for a college to gain some notoriety, and more than likely, a sizeable donation from the one who is receiving the degree. There are many celebrities who have been given honorary doctorates, and many of these celebrities give back to the schools which have given them this compliment.

The term “doctor” can be misleading when it comes to medieval studies. While there were doctors and even dentists, only the wealthy could afford them. The common man used “healing women” or religious leaders, such as monks and nuns from the local villages. Medicines of the time were plant and root based. Different plants had different healing properties. Some of these would include: Poultices made from mustard seeds, mosses, and muds - these would be mashed, made into a type of paste, and then applied to different areas of the body. Plants such as Rosemary, Lavender, Peppermint, could be used for internal ailments. For headaches - radishes, garlic, and a handful of other items could be mixed together to form a paste which would then be applied to the head. Other forms of medical care would include practices such as blood-letting, leeching (applying leeches to different parts of the body to remove bad humors of the blood), and even using maggots to eat away flesh that was infected. The doctors of the day would have had some access to medical knowledge from Greece and even the Middle East. Many of them were trained at foreign courts, learning the leading “medicines” of the day. Sometimes the medicines prescribed were just as deadly, if not more so than some of the ailments that the patient was suffering from. Mercury was commonly used to treat several ailments, and this would lead to tooth decay, and most often, death.
