Ultrasound techs must be able to explain complicated technical procedures and ultrasound results to their patients while describing possible methods of treatment. Frequent advancements in the medical field require ultrasound technicians to maintain knowledge of current medical trends and procedures in diagnostic medicine and technology.” (“Ultrasound Tech Education Requirements and Career Information,”5). You couldn’t do anything without your training skills. For example, it could be 1-4 years to complete a program. Before
Assistants are responsible for preparing the patient for procedures by giving a foot bath and clipping toe nails as well as bandaging the patient’s feet. Some assistants are required to take x-rays of patient’s legs, ankles, or feet, cast for orthotics and apply fiberglass casts to the patient’s ankle or foot. Podiatric assistants are required to help with diabetic foot exams and noninvasive exams when the state law permits. Different states have different requirements when it comes to assisting with surgical procedures.

When people think of Plastic Surgeons they instantly imagine fake plastic people. Plastic Surgeons actually are very significant in the medical world and have been around since the first century B.C., Romans were practicing various forms of plastic surgery to repair noses, eyes, lips, and teeth. Even a roman physician named Cornelius Celsus preformed procedures such as circumcision reversal and even breast reduction in men in this time. Plastic surgeons are medical doctors who specialize in remodeling and restructuring areas of the body. This can be done out of necessity to correct medical problems or as a way to enhance the look of the body.

Allison Wynn H. Pre-Calculus January 27th, 2014 Anesthesiology I am very interested in becoming an anesthesiologist. “Anesthesiologists are medical doctors who care for patients before, during and immediately following a surgical or medical procedure by administering appropriate anesthesia and monitoring the patients for reactions and complications, and to ensure comfort and manage pain.” An anesthesiologist's job description is not limited to a traditional surgical setting in a hospital or medical center. Today, anesthesiologists have many options available to them, including work in dental offices, outpatient surgical centers, labor and delivery units, pain management clinics, critical and intensive care units, teaching, and research. The biology (BS) major at UNC Chapel Hill will prepare me for this career path while taking chemistry courses as well. Admission to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is very competitive and to be accepted one needs to exceed the
Types of Robotic Surgery Robotic surgery allows surgeons to perform many complex procedures with more precision, flexibility, and control than standard surgical techniques (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2011). There are several types of robotic surgeries that are used for many conditions. This section will cover three areas and the conditions that fall under each of those areas. The areas to be covered are robotic abdominal surgery, including colon and rectal surgery, robotic cardiovascular surgery, and robotic urologic surgery. Robotic abdominal surgery, and colon and rectal surgery are used to treat conditions like the following: gallbladder cancer, liver cancer, and pancreatic disorders.

The next step is sedating the patient with the use of anesthesia or sedatives; a plastic surgeon sedates or completely anesthetizes patients prior to the start of surgery. Depending on the nature of the procedure, this is done with the assistance of a nurse and/or an anesthesiologist. Another thing is reconstructive surgery. A plastic surgeon may perform reconstructive surgery, with repairs from trauma or defects inflicted on a patient. For example, if a patient were severely burned, a surgeon might perform a skin grafting, removing dead skin and replacing it with tissue from another body part.
