Q. I'm in high school and I have been thinking about college and want to be a doctor. I'm smart and so far in high school have recieved straight A's. The thing is I'm not one of those crazy studiers or nerds. I know the hard work and everything that goes into it. My sister is a dentist and she's more of the nerdy type. Do you have any advice for me?
A. Consider going to a community college 2 nights a week for a semester to get an Emergency Medical Technician qualification. After you get your license you can work 1-2 24 hour shifts a week. And you can study or sleep between calls. The hourly rate is not that great but you can do at least one 24 hour shift a week while going to school.
As well, med schools will look at this a lot better as it means you will have experience in life or death situations. That you have already been exposed to the messy side of medicine and if you can handle being an EMT, you are a good candidate for medical school. It has been known that EMTs in med school are often steered into the ER.
As well you can get an extra dollar an hour in most places if you get a qualification to drive the rig.
And if you do not get into med school, then you can take the full paramedic program which will give you something you can actually make a living doing.
My daughter got her EMT-B ticket while a senior in college and it made the difference in getting a fellowship. In DC she is seen as an expert in first responder safety in her chosen field of transportation. As well, she says the rush you get riding in an ambulance with lights and siren going is as good as sex.

What's the best Dental university/school in the NE of USA?
Q. I want to be a dentist or a dental hygienist. I want to go to a college where people say "Wow... there?". Is there any colleges famous for dentistry?
I'm currently in high school and know sure that I want to do something in the dental industry. What activites/classes should i take to prepare for this? I've decided in taking chemistry and biology since it's the only classes I can link to it.

I am a coward at the dentist. Is there a gentle one In DC?
Q. I am traumatized when I go to the dentist. I gag when they put those bite wing x-rays in my mouth and this has caused me to put off needed dental care. Not to mention the big bills. Now I am likely going to lose another tooth and will eventually need implants or a partial. Short of having a dentist fall in love with me what can I do?
A. You have identified the problem already.
That is a step forward.
Now schedule an appointment, get over your fear and get done with the treatment.

Which part of the stimulus plan deals with the slow-down in new home construction?
Q. Did we somehow forget about that part? Isn't that where a lot of jobs have been lost, both in construction and supporting industries?
A. I looked and couldn't find it. I did however find a ton of welfare and some STD prevention stuff that should go a long way to making this country...oh wait...that won't help - damn!
