Study tactics, medicine is 99% tactics... or so I've heard...
Help, I want to become a medical doctor in one year.
Sort:
You can do it!
esp. if you start at 40.
I can't afford to spend much money on this, but I think it's possible if I get the right book. Can you recommend a medical tactics books for me?
Thanks for the support goldendog!
Here's how to do it in five easy steps:
1) Find a doctor who happpens to be an orphan, and has no family connections.
2) Wait for this person to be offered a promotion to a different location.
3) Apply extensive plastic surgery to change your appearance to resemble theirs.
4) Dispose of the doctor, and take their belongings.
5) Arrive to work at the first day at the new location.
Best.. post.. ever.
Thanks for the tip. Actually I operate blind all the time so good sign I'm on the right track. (Blood and stuff grosses me out, so I just look away until it's over).
FancyKnight, that sounds dishonest. I want to earn it legitimately with months and months of hard work.
Off topic? lol.
Why wait a full year? Send a cheque to one of those bogus diploma outfits and get your M.D. in the mail.

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but if you haven't become a doctor by adolescence, you have virtually no chance.
It's easy if you follow 3 easy steps:
- Play lots of surgeon simulator to practise good technique in the operation theatre (at least 50% of your study time should be devoted to this).
- Learn lots about alternative medicines such as homeopathy, naturopathy and ayurvedic medicine (people will respect you for being open minded and these are all easy to learn and very effective on many diseases including those that modern doctors can't treat).
- Nobody wants a doctor who can't cure them so ensure that you can recommend a cure for any disease that may come up (even if it won't make a difference to the disease the patient will feel better knowing that they are getting medicine). Never refer a patient to another doctor because that makes you seem incompetent (you are basically saying that another doctor is better than you).
Another thing you need to be aware of is a common trap for beginners: They spend too much time learning what to do at the start of surgery. You don't need to learn fancy ways to ensure that the patient is properly treated at the start of surgery (diagnosis, cutting them open correctly etc.) until you have been a doctor for 20 years (by then you are really good and any improvement that can be made should be made). When you are starting out you should learn what to do in the middle of surgery and at the end of surgery. This will help you improve much faster since you are really getting to the heart of being a doctor asap.
Become a Doctor of Philosophy, like me. Then you can do it here and there in your spare time and self-certify or at least get RSS to say you're certifiable.
Can you do breast-implants?

If you're not going to be positive about it, then don't bother commenting. I'm serious about spending a few months reading a book.

If you need any further advice I am willing to offer lessons ($10 for a 30 minute session). I think that at your level plastic surgery is the most important topic to cover. We could go through the important acronym "FAST" - Face, Arms, Shape and Time (not to be confused with "FAST" which is for people having a stroke). Time of course refers to the time in which you get the surgery done since the faster you get through patients the more money you get.
After a month of that can move on to ''FATS'' and ''FISH''.

Another common beginner mistake. No expert would only specialise in one area of medicine (be open minded!). You start off with general principles then develop your skills. You also need several methods for dealing with patients if you didn't start with them (ie. they were referred to you by another doctor) because they could throw anything at you.
I want to be a medical doctor. When I was a kid, I played the Milton Bradley game Operation with my brother. But now I'm ready to get serious. Which disease should I learn about? Also, I'm prepared to study two hours a day, do you think it's possible in one year? Which book should I read?
