what is the difference between a motor vehicle mechanic and a medical doctor?
541502
A mechanic works on the car when it is not running.\n\nA doctor works on his patient when he is hopefully still alive.\n\nThat's why doctors get paid more than mechanics.  Ex.  Try replacing a valve in an engine with the motor running  vs. replacing a valve in a heart, while keeping the patient alive.

Medical transcriptionists (MTs) are specialists in medical language and healthcare documentation who interpret and transcribe dictation by physicians and other healthcare professionals regarding patient assessment, workup, therapeutic procedures, clinical course, diagnosis, prognosis, etc., editing dictated material for grammar and clarity as necessary and appropriate.  www.aamt.org\n\nAs for pay... If you know your medical language and can type rather quickly, you really can make a decent living.  Many people like having a career in Medical Transcription because of the ability to work from home.\n\n\n Pay the extra in tuition to attend an 'approved' school. Many people have received training through inadequate programs only to find out that they are unable to find a job. AAMT (American Association for Medical Transcription) has a list of approved schools on thier wedsite. The top 3 are M-tec, Andrew, and Career Step. Check out: http://www.mteducationonline.c... from their you can request more information.  It is an affiliate site for Career Step. Career Step is an AAMT approved program and they are partnered with many of the major MT employers. In other words, their graduates get the jobs. Career Step has a competitive curriculum in comparison to the other 2 approved AAMT schools, but I believe their course is the cheaper one of the 3. They do offer scholarships and if you take the course through one of thier partners (one of the community colleges) you can get a Sallie Mae loan.

It depends on what you define as a "real doctor."  A chiropractor is a DC, doctor of chiropractic.  A chiropractor is not a medical doctor (M.D.) or a doctor of osteopath (D.O.), so a chiropractor CANNOT prescribe medication.

Doctor. You get a lot more fun in your life and aren't stuck in a lab all the time. Doctors have far more career opportunities than "scientists" do. Scientists are either stuck in a lab or in a classroom. Doctors, however, get to do a LOT more.

M.A.'s assist the physician with minor office surgical procedures, perform injections, perform in office diagnostic testing such as EKG, xrays(if you hold your GXMO license for the state of Ohio), perform venipuncture for blood tests and prepare slides physician performed microscopy. M.A.'s also do many clerical tasks such as patient chart preparation, letters to other physicians, and schedule appointments. These are just a few tasks that the medical assistant may perform. They are not all incompassing. Basically, you will do whatever the physician needs assisted with to make his/her office run efficiently.

No. An optometrist is a Doctor. He performs eye exams, diagnoses eye disease, and prescribes meds. An optician helps with frame selection and adjusts glasses. They usually have no special training besides what they learn on the job.

Yes.  Why do you think they're called doctors?  They go through college and medical school, take the MCATS, have a residency, etc.  They're doctors.

Medical Claims and Billing- A person who holds this title fills out all of the insurance claim forms and bills patients.\n\nMedical Coding is assigning diagnosis and procedures in the medical record with a code.  There are separate coding classifications for both inpatient and outpatient diagnoses and procedures.  These codes are used for insurance reporting, as well as for collecting statistics.\n\nMedical Transcription is when a person listens to dictated audio reports that a doctor has recorded about an encounter with a patient.  The medical transcriptionist listens to these reports on a headset and types out the report.  The report is then printed and becomes part of the patients medical record.

It depends.\n\nMany medical schools issue two types of degrees.\n\nThe first, the M.D., is given to those who practice medicine. This is the doctor that you are used to seeing at the local hospital or clinic.\n\nThe second degree is the M.D. PhD. This degree is obtained by those who seek to conduct research in the field of medicine.\n\nIn a general sense, an M.D. would be considered a primary medical caregiver while an M.D. PhD would be considered a scientist. You will occasionally find those with an M.D. degree working in the field of research, though.

I worked for a DO and I have worked for MD's. Of all of them the DO was the smartest and the most professional. Going to a DO is like having a medical doctor and a chiropractor all in one. Because they believe in natural cures as well as meds and you are able to talk to them about what kind of care you prefer.
