HW #41: Independent Research

http://www.obgyn.net/women/women.asp?page=/women/articles/obgyn_dah

- It’s hard to become a doctor in general in the beginning. It takes stellar grades while keeping up a social life in order to be able to connect with future patients. On this page, it seems like any tiny mistake is a death sentence. This site seems to exaggerate the cut-throat world of doctors. However, it does identify how much work it takes to become an OB/GYN.

-This is the job description of an Ob/Gyn and it includes salary, education, and career guide. This site is a more factual site regarding Ob/Gyns. On this particular site, it states that Ob/Gyns aren’t always realted to births. In fact, a lot of them center mainly around the reproductive system of a woman which can include cancers, birth control, and even infertility. They do help women through their pregnancies and births as well, but those aren’t the only things they specialize in.

-This was an interview with a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University. I found this interview to be really interesting because it really shows that what we’re discussing in class really isn’t so “black and white.” For example, when discussing her top 10 list of ways to stay healthy noted by the interviewer as “holistic and balanced where the body, spirit, and mind are concerned,” Dr. Minkin replied that indeed these were better ways of staying healthy than medicine.

-This site lists a step by step way to becoming an Ob/Gyn. It tells you what education to go through, how to pass the MCAT, Med school, residency at a hospital, and finally, getting a licence. I chose this as one of my sites because it supports the first link in saying that it takes a lot of time and effort to become a doctor.
