Can a DO become a surgeon?

[Whosis]

Haha, I guess in your mind, only surgeons touch blood ?? Terribly wrong.

Yes, more than 50% of D.O.s pursue the primary care. And the rest become specialists including surgeons. And FYI, even family physicians are required to be able to perform many routine procedures involving blood (e.g. the most common one: clean, sterilize, stitch wounds). Many family physicians (Yes, D.O. family physicians) also deliver babies and deal with emergency situations, especially in under-served areas.

Assuming you have the maturity required by health professions (e.g. research the facts before openly making a claim), if you feel uncomfortable with blood, you will not survive the 3rd, 4th year clinical rotations (not mention the at least 3 years of residency training). and I seriously doubt you can never be a qualified physician.

OMG, thanks you for your informative help. I have so much to do this afternoon. W/D my acceptance, think about my new career path, cry for having wasted the last three years of my life.....




I suppose I need this

Sorry to derail the thread but I had to respond

I still have my n64 and I love to throw down on some goldeneye whenever someone has the marbles to challenge me

I have one simple rule. Auto-aim needs to be off. Then I'm down to clown. Most deadly

Proxy mines, complex, let's do this.

Proxy mines are craaaazy. So much fun. My go to setup is normally Temple, automatics. Auto-aim off of course

Side note, I could never get into perfect dark. I'd still take goldeneye over perfect dark any day

PD campaign was ridonculous (and the multiplayer SHOULD have been insane)....but there's no way anyone's going to derail Goldeneye for multiplayer....ever. It changed the lives of millions of American children and led directly to our waning education system and global influence. Kids might actually have studied if it weren't for that game....lol

I could never get into Perfect Dark, either. Goldeneye and The World Is Not Enough (blue cartridge?) just bring back fine memories of my childhood. I even taught my dad how to play. That was awesome.

Agreed.

One of the best games I ever played. My dad loved it so much he started his own campaign.

This is true. It has one of the best soundtracks for its time too (Cradle, Aztec, Silo, etc.).

I pretty much bought N64 for goldeneye. Everything else came after... hah.

How hard is it? If you apply for residency will they give MDs first choice over DOs? Will you receive appropriate training in DO school?

"The Todd" from Scrubs went to med school in the Caribbean, and since DO >>>> Caribbean MD, being a surgeon shouldn't be a problem!

The wampa's used to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid. I would play every level except the one's with wampa's walking around. I'd make me dad fight them for me while I was in another room. Lame I know

I've been watching the scrubs with my gf starting from ep1 season1 (in the middle of season 2 now). I didn't know he was caribb. The Todd is my alltime favorite character haha

Just think about how they'd look like to a kid in modern graphics.

 

[MaxillofacialMN]

The complex with proxies? I'd just hide in that top room and throw mines out all the windows, sit back, and wait!

Also, i made money off smash two nights ago - people love that game here!

 

[tenndoc]

It's weird going from ssb to brawl and Melee. I had a 35 game streak going in ssb but I got demolished in brawl. Roy marth and sheik can kiss the biggest part of my ass

 

[MaxillofacialMN]

Yeah, those games are wack. I think with ssb you can get by decently well with button mashing, but those the others require more finesse to be a competent player.

I can't play those two. It's just, not fun.

The problem is, they're too quick/smooth. With SSB, you've got to master the lag and anticipate stuff. So much better that way

Totally agree

Yes, DOs can become surgeons. Too off topic, closing.
