Medicine - December 2006

If you are, what did you study during college? Did you want to be a doctor the moment you got into college, or did something happen that made you to switch your original major? How was med school? What kind of doctor are you? How long did it take you to be the kind of doctor you are? what is your salary? Is it a stable job? are you happy with your choice? if not, what do you wish you majored in instead?
I'm struggling about majors. I'm thinking about doing a pre-med program, but i have no idea what it is like? How did you know that you want to be a doctor in the first place? what kind of motivation did you have? Is it a satisfactory profession?
serious answer please
thanks

Does anybody know what birth defects are being caused by women who take paxil while pregnant?

I take Paxil and I am of child bearing age, and hope to have a child soon. I've been wanting to get off this drug for a while, but it's going to be a hassle since you have to wean off of it because a lot of people who stop taking it without weaning have committed suicide.

The articles I've read regarding Paxil and birth defects just vaguely allude to birth defects and don't go into detail about what these birth defects actually are.

1. I can suggest ``Compatible`` body type diets for Diabetes II. as per person`s Blood Group.
2. Based upon the theory of Nature Cures, I can suggest Diets to ``Prevent, Control and Cures`` over 150 Human Ailments and diseases. The Body Compatible diets are suggested, on the basis of each person`s Blood Group, Age, Weight, Height etc. It is worked out individually, based upon the Human Blood Group. 3. I also suggest ``Onbed Exercises`` which one can easily do on bed in Home, for about 15 to 30 minutes daily which makes body flexible, active, energetic and disease-free. 4. I can suggest ``Total Wellness Methods`` based up on ``Indian Ayurvedical Systems`` in order to maintain proper balance of the ``Vatta, Pitta and Kapha i.e. the Gas , Acidity and Enzymes Secretions respectively`` which are three basic elements that influence the illness or wellness of the human body. 5.

I don't usually take sleeping pills (one other time in my life,) but I've been sick and didn't sleep well the night before, so I figured I'd help recovery if I got a good night's sleep. I can't say how it would've gone if I had relied on natural forces, but the nightmares are uncommon, as was their vividness. I even called out while sleeping "No! No!"

btw, I'm starting to feel better - thanks.

course of Xifaxan 2x a day, for bacterial overgrowth which recent studies are indicating might be the culprit of irritable bowel syndrome. This drug is given for 3 days for Travelers diarreah, however its prescribed for 10 days for the bacterial overgrowth.

My question is which of the following 2 other antibiotics would complement this antibiotic course better Metronidazol 500 mg or Ciproflaxin, these two are used to treat ameobas and parasites. I was given one back in Arpil when I got food poisoning in Mexico, and the other when I got a real bad case of diarreah in Mexico in July, while vacationing.

Please only people with experience, since I am attacking the bacteria, I feel it would be a good idea to attack any posibble remnants of ameobas or parasites, and just to be safer. I have heard that sometimes you could develop c.difficile after taking xifaxan and one of the other 2 might prevent this, also they have been given in conjuction before.
