    Doctors make people healthier. When people get sick, doctors figure out why. They give people medicine and other kinds of treatment. They also give advice about diet, exercise, and sleep.

    Doctors use science to figure out what is making people sick. Doctors examine people, listen to them describe their health problems, and do tests to see what is wrong.

    There are many kinds of doctors. Family and general practitioners are often the first doctors that people go to when they get sick. These doctors treat common problems. They also send patients to other doctors, called specialists. Specialists are experts in different types of health problems.

    For example, internists focus on problems with internal organs. Pediatricians care for children and babies. Surgeons perform operations, like fixing broken bones or transplanting organs.

    Most doctors are doctors of medicine (M.D.). They treat all kinds of diseases and injuries. Some doctors are doctors of osteopathic medicine (D.O.). They focus on muscles and bones.

    Many doctors work long hours, at all times of day and night. Over one-third of physicians worked more than 60 hours a week in 2004. But doctors who work in small offices often have more time off. Doctors sometimes have to rush to the hospital to deal with emergencies.

    Most doctors diagnose, than act as broker, prescribing you a drug developed by scientists. As such, they have much less to do with your healing than in previous centuries, (though they are not as harmful)..;-)

    Charging people an arm and a leg to just look at people and guess what their problem is, driving them into the poor house while they get rich. Half of the time they're wrong anyway..........

    Or is that just my doctor? LOL

    He or She takes advantage of us by trying to figure out how to take all of our money. They will try to make us stay for a shorter visit and charge us more. And make us wait longer in the waiting room.

    they cure people, of course!

    they give diagnoses, talk with their patients, grab a quick coffee now and then, give operations, cheer up their customers, and try as hard as possible to make the hospital atmosphere as welcoming and warm as possible!

    and they have their own lives, so they do everything normal people do...
