Some random fact about Medical Doctor:

A physician, or medical doctor, leads the medical team in caring for patients as the primary healthcare provider. A doctor diagnoses and treats diseases and conditions, as well as provides treatment in many forms including medication, procedures, surgery, or therapy.

The physician shoulders the highest degree of responsibility of coordinating the patient’s medical treatment from beginning to the end, analyzing the patient’s symptoms and conditions, and managing their care for the best results and recovery. Some physicians provide general, ongoing preventative care, or management of basic chronic issues such as hypertension or diabetes. Other doctors are more specialized, and treat only certain systems of the body on a more in-depth basis.

Skills Needed :

A physician is part investigator, part counselor, and part scientist. Doctors must have a very strong grasp of math, science, chemistry and biology, and be able to analyze information and solve problems. Additionally, most physicians should exhibit excellent interpersonal skills in order to communicate effectively with patients and their families.

Physicians must be able to think quickly on their feet, and make critical decisions accurately and efficiently. If a physician aims to go into private practice and own his or her own healthcare business, it would be helpful to have a basic understanding of business and accounting principles as well.

Schedule and Typical Workday :

Schedules vary according to the type of medicine a physician practices. Most doctors work 50-60+ hours per week at least. A typical day in the life of a doctor usually includes 6-8 hours seeing patients in an office-based setting, plus 1-2 hours rounding on patients in the hospital. Surgeons will typically work 2-3 full days in the hospital Operating Room performing surgeries. Additionally, a physician will also invest time completing administrative duties such as updating patient records, returning phone calls, or handling miscellaneous office issues.

Salary / Compensation :

Contrary to popular belief, most physicians are not actually employees of hospitals or clinics. Many doctors are in private practice, either owning their own solo practice or in a partnership business arrangement with other physicians. Therefore, how much a physician actually earns depends on many factors such as patient volume, insurance carriers of the patients seen, and many other issues.

Taking all of those factors into consideration, physicians can earn annual income of anywhere from about $18,000 - $25,000 for a Family Medicine physician, up to over $25o,000 annually for specialists or subspecialists.

The purpose of my entry this time is to give an idea about the medical physician. There are many other things to discover, but this only a rough of it. So I would like to ask you and also my self, are we sure we want to be a medical doctor? The task are so many while the payment is not that encouraging. Hmmm, what ever answer you have in your minds, just close your eyes and look at the bottom of your heart. I am sure He will guide us as long as our intention is good. Being a medical doctor is a noble job. Giving a helping hand is not always easy. The good deed is not to be rewarded now, but to be claimed later.. insya allah.
