Medical Supply

Pyro asked:


What kind of medical degree do you have to have to become a Medical Examiner?
Like it has to be a surgical degree right?

mr.jeef asked:


I’m not familiar with doctors whatsoever, but I was wondering how private or concierge doctors get their supplies, equipment, machines, drugs, and all that. Isn’t there insurance issues? Companies can’t just give supplies like these to anyone?

If it’s the same as a regular doctor then I guess I don’t know how they do it really..

Thanks

This is my second post on a similar subject, but my employer cancelled my insurance without my knowledge saying “Due to non-payment”. Now I have the canceled checks that show I paid my premiums well past their date that they said they did not recieve payment. I continued to use my insurance for almost 2 months before I was told that it was “CANCELED”!! Now this is huge billion dollar corporation I work for that makes medical supplies. I tell you I have been screwed twice now, being fired before my release back to work and having my insurance canceled. Well I have been screwed 3 times, but in this post I am listing only the 2. Thank you for your replies, they are greatly appreciated more than you know. I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone here. Just getting the surgery was a 1.5 year battle until I switched primary Drs. and she read my records and called my Gastro Dr. and I had surgery less than a week later, after being told I could have died because it was so bad. Now all of this is just icing on the cake of my dilemma’s. Thanks again everybody!

richard asked:


I was thinking about becoming an anesthesiologist, or some other medical career.

I want to know what kind of medical jobs there are that travel to other countries and help there. I also would like to know the salary, because I want to be a well payed humanitarian. Maybe some government funded jobs, or something?

I don’t want to move to another country, but I would like to help and work for a while. Is there a medical job like that?

I am considering changing careers and have seriously begun to think about nursing. Are male nurses respected in the medical community? Also I already have a Bachelors degree in an unrelated field (non-medical), so would two years of schooling be sufficient to become an RN or would it require another four years. It would seem silly to have two Bachelors degrees. Thank You.

Stacy H asked:


I live in a small town in central West Virginia and am considering starting a medical supply business. I’m really at a loss as to where to begin the process.

Does anyone have any suggestions where I should start—-do I need a license to do this? Should I specialize or stock lots of things? Can I run this business from home?

I have an EMT and medical examiner background so I do know a little bit about the medical business.

Any help our guidance that anyone could lend me would be much appreciated.

I am starting school soon and I want to major in something that will get me a great job in the medical field. I work for a home medical supply compnay but would like more patient intercation and to work in a hosptial or clinic setting someday

It’s a toss up between nursing, psychologyst/counsleor, midwife, or surgical tech.

I don’t want to spend forver in school, but I want a good job and I am really bad at math. Other then that I am a quick learner and have good reaction time and can keep myslef calm in bad siutatins for example last thursday on vacation the 10 y/o in the other family we were with and I were swimming in the ocean and got dragged away buy rip tides and had no way out and almost drowned. I knew I had to stay clam or we’d both drown, and i had to keep myself calm so she wouldnt freak out and lose energy. We came out exausted and terrified, but we were ok.

Any suggistions or ideas and expericence would be great.
