What types of doctors are there?
I am a senior in high school and am looking into becoming a doctor of some sort. What types of doctors are there? Please list them and describe what sort of work they do. I looked into plastic surgery for awhile and that really interested me but am looking for others as well. Thanks! (And I will be choosing a best answer within the next few hours so be descriptive and thorough!
What type of doctor should I see?
I would advise you to see an Endocrinologist. The area of Endocrinology that you should be concerned with would be hormonal. An endocrinologist deals with disorders of the endocrine system, and these disorders usually have a great deal to do with hormones. I haven't looked at my endocrine system information (notes) in a long time, but I feel like I can answer your question properly. Hypopituitarism can cover several different disorders, and a problem with the hypothalamus could also exaggerate a pituitary problem. The hypothalamus controls both parts of the pituitary gland, POSTERIOR PITUITARY (the PP) and the ANTERIOR PITUITARY (the AP) through the secretion of "releasing hormones". Diabetes Insipidus refers to a deficiency in the hormones coming from the PP. The term hypopituitarism usually refers to a deficiency in one (or more) of the hormones secreted by the AP. The AP secretes 6 different hormones, such as TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone). Another two hormones are secreted, and I will mention these other two because of their relevance here in your situation, are LH (Lutenizing hormone, which effects the menstrual cycle) and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone, which does a similar task like LH) Many times endocrine problems are genetic. My thought would be for you to ask around your family to see if anyone went through a similar ordeal. You will more than likely need some type of brain imaging scan so the doctors can see.what is wrong. Good luck, and if they find anything out of the ordinary I hope you can be treated by simple means. Doc Brown

What type of doctors work in hospitals?
I love hospitals for some reason and for a few years have thought about being a doctor of some kind. I thought about a PA but not sure. I'm just 17 and a junior in high school, so I still have a couple years to decide what I want to do before college. I've researched the EMD area too, and it looks good. I want to do something related to surgical procedures too. Any tips would help me greatly!
