Of the 100 trillion cells inside each one of us, only 10% are actually human. The rest belong to aliens: bacteria, fungi, and other microbes.

I am in high school and I am very interested in becoming a doctor and I am very interested in medicine.
I would love to start learning about some of the things now.
Is there some kind of website where I can learn medical terminology and other things about medicine?

Going on the assumption a person is not allergic. What are the odds that a fairly healthy, 22 year old male; 5'10" 190lbs, would risk a heart attack etc or "instant death" by taking a 30 mg adderall xr for the 1st time.

All other species evolve; however, since Cro-Magnon times, man has looked basically the same. I blame this on society. When a baby is conceived or born with a deformity, aka an evolution, we either kill it or perform surgery on it to 'correct' it to societal standards. Who are we as people to decide our own non-evolution?

Just as Congress is about to vote on a bill that would require federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, something has me tempted to join the ranks of those loony tunes who see conspiracies lurking around every corner.

How come these people don't get queezy when they cut people open? I am a 2nd year med student who is just starting to study surguries. But I get sick every time I watch the doctor cut someone open. How can I overcome this?

Does anyone know of any good books to educate a fourteen year old kid like myself about different medical conditions and other medical related topics? I would like to learn as much as i can about neurology and cardiovascular surgery. Text books are fine...

The little purple nhs leaflet says stay 'well within the recommended limits' which is a bit vague, the NIH say caterigorically none whatsoever, and the American College of Rheumatologists say no more than 1-2 units per month. Is the odd glass of wine going to seriously mess up my liver? Is it a dose dependent thing? Is the no alcohol thing just to do with hepatotoxicity or does it interfere with the efficacy of mtx? Any opinions greatly appreciated.

There are many medical tests which involve measuring electrical activity in the brain (eg, the test for sleep apnoea). I have some electronics background and would be interested in trying to measure these myself. I expect to use a signal amplifier and display the output on an oscilloscope.

Where would I place the electrodes which form the input for the amplifier? How critical is their placement? What sort of potential differences are we looking at?

Any info that would help me design a suitable circuit would be greatly appreciated.

(I am aware of the necessity for electrical isolation and similar prevtitive measures to prevent injury in case of an electronic failure).

this is my first time ever dissecting a cadaver. I never had a problem before, with pigs, frogs, cats, deer heart, sheep brain, etc... The last two labs I have had to leave after about an hour. My head starts to buzz, and then I realize I can't really hear what is going on around me and I start seeing spots. I've tried to control my breathing, pinch myself and chew gum... I am totally annoyed with myself! I am a strong willed independent person who prefers to be in control of myself...and this is beyond my control. I am very frustrated. Any tips would be helpful.

I am a junior in high school and I have been thinking about my future a lot.
I keep thinking that I want to major in business and other things, but medicine is truely the only thing that interests me.
I would like to hear from doctors or nurses or other people in the medical business and tell me what they do.
I would also like to know if you are still able to have a social life with your busy career.
And I think that I want to work in a hospital, so I was wondering what types of specialties there are in a hospital. I don't know what it is, but I really think the hospital enviroment seems interesting. Some people hate hospitals but I would love to work in one.
So please tell me what your specialty is and tell me what is like to have a career as a doctor.
thanks!! ♥

I have three incisions (2 tiny, and one about 2 inches long) on my knee. I am getting hives from not being able to clean it all off. All around the knee I have scrubbed and scrubbed as hard as I could; but there is still some there, as well as right around the incisions (which still have stitches). How do I remove the antiseptic? These hives are driving me crazy and I'd rather not keep taking Benadryl.
