We are Doctors. Aforetime, in Greece, Egypt and other old cultures, doctors were formed by a constant training by other doctors. That training allowed the conservation of natural medicine and sometimes, the improvement of some techniques. With the advent of Universities, medicine as a practice began to need an academic degree. Today, medicine has progressed and specialization had been necessary to be a doctor. We can find dermatologists, cardiologists, ophthalmologist, and other specialists. In Mexico, a person need to study five years to be a general doctor but to have a specialty they need to have a training for two or three years, as well. I'm sure that It’s a difficult profession. For my formation and personal activities. I have many friends that are doctors and it’s very common to listen them to say that their patients tell to them their personal diagnostic based on information read in internet or watched on media. For them it’s very frustrating to try to convince their patients that clinical diagnostic is more that only information from internet or media. Saludos desde México.

That training allowed the conservation of natural medicine and sometimes, the improvement of some techniques. With the advent of Universities, medicine as a practice began to need an academic degree.

Today, medicine has progressed and specialization had been necessary to be a doctor. We can find dermatologists, cardiologists, ophthalmologist, and other specialists. In Mexico, a person needs to study for five years to be a general doctor but to have a specialty specialise they need to study for a further  have a training for two or three years, as well. I'm sure that it’s a difficult profession.

For my formation and personal activities. In my personal/social life  I have many friends that are doctors and it’s very common to listen hear them to say that their patients have made  a  tell to them their personal diagnostic self -diagnosis  based on information that they have  read in on the internet or watched seen on  in the media. For them it’s very frustrating to try to convince their patients that a clinical diagnosis  is more that only  is far more comprehensive/accurate than a diagnosis based on information from only the internet or the media.

Seven years are a big time inverted. You're right, the only way to study medicine is enjoy it. Thanks Ahmed for read my entry.

Here in Egypt , you need seven years to become only a general practitioner. It is really a tough career. The only way to survive is to enjoy it
