Accepted Answer

Without : Without going into a long discussion about the changes that occur when individuals go away to college it is clear that you should be thoroughly evaluated by your personal physician. The symptoms that you describe could be associated with stress, change in lifestyle, body changes or infections, that is why it is impossible to answer your question here.

Question 4

i have optic nerve swelling i haven't been to the doctor in over a year. i still have migraines, tinnitus, eye pain, some visual hallucinations. is this related to the condition? should i schedule a follow-up? i'm very busy with college at the moment?

: This is a public information site where volunteer docs from across the US answer questions coming from around the world. We have no access to or information about clinics/hospitals/specialties in any specific locations. Your local medical society office/hospital or health plan would have access to this information. Sometime you can just enter your location &amp; the type of doc you seek &amp; find one

Question 6

i want to be a doctor in the us i want to join a university there iam a medical student in alexandria university in egypt..its my first year?

Accepted Answer

Contact the schools: Likely, one would have to apply as a college graduate looking for a spot as a first year medical school student. Contact the medical schools directly to see what the requirements are, and to see if one's college courses are acceptable. To see what is in the mcat (medical college admission test), one can buy one of the study guides. Additional requirements may be required from foreign students.

Question 7

hi ,i realy afraid of rats and mouses what should i do? my job needs them i will become a doctor :) the next year i will start my university :(

Accepted Answer

Are you sure?: I have no fear of rats or mice BUT I also never had to do anything with them to become a physician.  In the US, you choose your university major and classes - ones that do experiments on rats are not necessarily required.  You may not need to face that fear at all.  If you do have to take classes working with rats - face your fear, if you truly want the end result it won't stop you.

Question 8

what colleges should i look into if i want to become a children's cance doctor?

Accepted Answer

It Doesn't Matter!: You're getting ahead of yourself. You need to get into medical school; there are very few colleges that will keep you from doing that. Accomplishing that  is up to you! you then need to get into a pediatric residency. There are few med schools that will keep you from doing that. Accomplishing that is up to you! are you getting the drift? It's not where you go, it's what you do when you get there!

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Yes: If it was medically related to your reason to be out.

Question 10

should i start at a community college if i am aspiring to become a doctor?  did you start at a community college?

Accepted Answer

Apply Medical School: Medical schools look for individuals who have stories to tell. The story of their lives sometimes; the stories of how they persevered in the journey through early life and college. They want well rounded men and women who have passion and compassion and humanity.
