?

I am a diagnostic neuroradiologist, I make about 500k from my doctoral duties(including my practice), and I make an additional 150k in stocks. So I am obviously in the 1%. I am very happy, I grew up poor, I made something of myself. Despite my success, I feel hindered when I talk to people, I am afraid when talking to certain people to express my profession, and/or income(though I do not mention it frequently obviously). I understand those at the higher ends of the 1%, those making 5, 10, 20, 50 million+ of course could have higher taxes with all of that cash. Though for those of us making I would say 300k- 1 million, I think the full 40% is enough taxes, and there are lots of additional hidden taxes that the average American does not really know about. I am simply saying, just because I am technically in the 1% does not mean I am a CEO of a company, and I think a lot of people forget this fact.

How many hours is the exam?

How hard is it to get the 30/40 required for med school admissions?

How many times are you allowed to take it?

Thank you in advance.

I have had patients before who have told me they do not want treatment because it would go against their religion, God will asnwer their prayers. Have those who think like this ever consider that god enabling scientists and doctors to create treatments for you are the answers to your prayers?

I am 6'4, I weight 225 Ibs, my doctor said I should be 200-210, so I am a bit overweight, and I want to lose some weight for health reasons and for aesthetic reasons. The problem I have is I am always hungry and once I start eating, I am never full basically unless I have had a huge meal, it is really annoying. My friends have told me slowly ween off eating as much and my hunger will go down, is that true?

I do not understand why I a moderate republican get bashed whenever I talk to someone who is a liberal. Or if a moderate democratic talks to a conservative. Why can we not just have peace and fair arguments. I agree, Bush did ruin the true image of republicans, most republicans are not racist white bigots, we are intelligent folk who just have different view then you. I do agree, the economy has improved with obama, with the help of a republican house, but for example, he messed up healthcare a lot. I just find whenver I find something wrong with the opposing party, they lash out. I know the same goes for the other party.

I mean, in comparison to holidays such as Rosh Hashanna, Yom Kippur, Simchat Torah, Passover among others, the actual holiday is not that important, yet it is the single most well known jewish holiday. besides maybe a couple of the high holy days.

Hey guys, could someone please explain how sex linked chromosomes work with crosses. I know most of the time, diseases are on the x chormosome, and that it typically comes from the mother and goes to the son. Now for example, if you have a normal father(XY), and a mother who is a carrier for hemophillia(let us signify Hemo with H) how do you cross those, what are the results, and what do the results mean thanks.

So to my knowledge, a baby must have been the first "human", given that it must be able to reproduce, I will presume this baby was a female. Since there were no males at the time(once again, I am not a expert on evolution, so correct me if I am wrong), is it possible the mother underwent parthenogenesis before the first male was able to have sexual relations with the female to produce a "true" child.

Hey guys. I am all for answering the biological questions of people, but the consistent trend of overflowing this forum with threads regarding evolution and religion is getting a bit annoying. I mean, I think the biology forum should be a place to help each other understand biology, and topics anwhere from a middle school to a graduate level. I do not think that this forum should be for evolution and religious debates. Now if someone has a question regarding evolution and NOT religion, I am fine with that. Does anyone think the debates should be sent to the relgion forum for an example.
