Cuticleologists are in even more demand, at teaching institutions...I believe. This is a funny thread : )

Officially it's considered amoral and completely against the rules, but it's common knowledge that many a succesful chief surgeon use computer software in their operations, giving them an unfair advantage over the patients.

I can not advise anything to the creator of this topic, but I think - this is the "topic of the day"!

Nice idea!!

because I read a lot here "how to become a GM" - is boring

A couple of those online universities offer one year medical degrees. A specialty can take several more weeks. The obvious advantage of the online approach is that you don't have to be around a bunch of sick people.

Also, they give credit for life experience. So, if you played doctor as a kid you can get a prescription pad in a matter of weeks. The ability to write your own prescriptions has obvious advantages.

in medicine it more difficult than in chess - hard to get volunteers to improve skills

You must go to the finest Transyllvanian medical college, usually in a castle deep in the mountains and seek out tutelage from this man:

Your could read your book while working in the morgue might speed up your practice.

What kind of degree do you get if you specialized in Trivial Pursuit?

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).

I was thinking about specializing in Morgellons, thanks.

That is an interesting specialty. Laughing

Get a book called "How to be a Medical Doctor for Dummies"

Or Monty Python's " Do it yourself book of open heart surgery."

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but if you haven't become a doctor by adolescence, you have virtually no chance.

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.

I was just trying to help Waffles; didn't mean to give offense.  That said, you do realize that most doctors have read not one, but several books? That's right, several!

On a more positive note, I have nothing but admiration for your high ambitions.  Back in the day, I once tried reading a book....it didn't work out.  Today of course I no longer have the youthful energy to attempt such a Herculean task.  Best of luck in your effort, and I mean that sincerely.
