Georgia Said:

The full requirements for medical school?

We Answered:

I am impressed with your organisation and early commitment.

Academically you seem to know where you stand.

Your plans above sound excellent.

Just one thing to remember: I advise the following.

1) Try to arrange and meet and talk to some doctors, understand exactly what the job is like and what type of person you need to be.

2) Apart from academically excel, you need to develop youself socially and personnally, be a good communicator, learn how to speak well with people. I dont mean CV things, more interpersonnal skills. These are essential to a career in medicine.

I am sure that if you continue as you are you will enjoy a good career.

I wish you all the best.

Can I get a job in a clinical setting with an undergraduate degree in sports and exercise science?

We Answered:

You can be a therapist for patients with injuries caused by sports. i think that's the only job for your degree in a clinical setting. If not in a clinical setting, I think you can be a coach, fitness instructor or trainer.

whats your point or question?

Carol Said:

What are my political views?

We Answered:

You have a mix of attitudes. It's not easy to place you. I'm pretty sure you fit better in the Republican Party. They too have some (moderate national) socialist concepts.

The Democrats are now pretty hard core international socialists and the "liberals" in there aren't liberal. They are socialists fraudulently using the label. The libertarians are the original and true liberals (see below).

However even a pretty hard core libertarian like me can stray (carefully) into socialist principles when practicality demands that. You seem to hold some true liberal attitudes but readily accept some socialist principles, including some very moderate national socialist ones.

I would generally lump you in with the more libertarian end of what is called liberal today. That's people fairly tolerant but with some socialist attitudes, but today "liberal" has become known as it's opposite: moderate or harder socialism.

I don't think you would be very comfortable with the common Democratic Party today. They have adopted too much socialism for you (ironically they were the true liberal -- libertarian -- party originally). You could be more comfortable near the libertarian wing of the Republican Party I think. You probably won't be a perfect fit even there. I would try to understand which of the principles you noted are the most important to you. I rated you according to what looked like your preference.

True liberalism advocates: individual freedom, weak government, and free markets. Conservatism advocates: moral responsibility, strong government, and protected markets. Socialism advocates: social responsibility, omnipotent government, and controlled markets.

Dorothy Said:

Considering the military?

We Answered:

If you enlist, no, you will not be an officer, you would have to go to officer canidate school.

Rank, it depends how long you decide to stay in for. Expect at LEAST 2 years to get to Sergeant.

Join either the National Guard or the Army.

When they ask you for specialization (career choice in the military), tell them your skills, and they'd probably recommend you to be a medic.

Valerie Said:

Which category of doctor should I choose?

We Answered:

wow, that was quite the list. You need to see a Family Practice Doctor first because usually you need to get a referral to see a specialist. The specialist you would see would probably be an ENT (ear nose and throat) specialist. Good luck.

Knee Pain Question: I have had mild pain in my knee for 7 weeks. It has gotten better but still nags me...?

We Answered:

A few options:

Examine your walk and shoeware. Are your feet flatter or more ached than normal? If so, the impact of the ground force reactions may be causing your knee to be positioned incorrectly while walking, thus leading to the mild arthritis and pain. Consider going to a shoe store that assesses your gait and can advice you on proper shoeware for your problem.

Improper training? You admitted to "heavy exercise routines" that may have lead to pain. If you were performing these exercises incorrectly, impact from the ground or the bearing of weight distributed unevenly throughout the kneed may be leading to the mild arthritis and pain. Consider consulting a personal trainer about your "form" with exercises.

Decreased strength/flexibility. Although you obviously are working out, certain muscles can become weak or tight if they are not specifically strengthened or stretched. Consider seeing a physical therapist who not only could teach you exercises for these impairments, but also treat the pain that you feel.

Tell your physician that the pain is causing a decreased quality of life and you want to consider these and other options for treatment.
