Question: Origins of the word otorhinolaryngology? How does the oto relate to ear for example or the rhino to nose?

Answer: You need to learn COMBINING FORMS because you can use COMBINING FORMS to make any medical term that fits the situation. While you are learning combining forms, you need to learn MEDICAL GREEK AND LATIN. This is why non medically trained people should not try to self diagnose or learn 'them big words' because you don't have the training to UNDERSTAND THEM. "Otorhinolaryngology" Oto... pertaining to the Ear Rhino.. pertaining to the nose Laryng... pertaining to the Larynx or throat Ology... means THE STUDY OF Oto+rhino+laryng(o)+ology means: Study of the Ear, nose and throat. And you won't find this in any regular dictionary because it's GREEK and it's a contraction because it is written with COMBINING FORMS

Answer: Your question is confusing. One should finish MBBS first than go for any specialization. How a person can do Correspondence course in ENT or Otorhinolaryngology (Otolaryngology is the branch of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, and head and neck disorders. The full name of the specialty is otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Practitioners are called otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons, or sometimes otorhinolaryngologists (ORL).

Question: Who is the father of ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) otherwise known as 'Otorhinolaryngology'..? Please let me know it as soon as possible.. Yeah.. I have searched the web too, before posting this question.. Sorry 'shipdada', but there is no mention of Father of ENT in Wikipedia link you have supplied with your answer..

Answer: I am not sure there is a single "father" of this branch of medicine. Von Helmholtz was an early pioneer in the study of the eye, and indeed in the early 20th century, they were EENT specialists, separating into separate specialties around 1930ish. Adam Politzer (1835-1920) was a pioneering ear surgeon, and there are instruments and procedures still named after him. Robert Barany won the Nobel Prize for work on the vestibular system. He was a WWI POW when the prize was announced. Carl Gussenauer was one of his teachers. Johann Czernak and Morell Mackenzie were early throat specialists. Mackenzie wrote one of the first books on disease of the larynx, and later on diseases of the nose and throat. Mackenzie unfortunately missed Crown Prince Frederick Wilhelm's throat cancer. (Probably easy to do with the relatively primitive instruments of the day.) Frederick Wilhelm lived only a short time after becoming kaiser, so Wilhelm II ascended the throne and began to muck things up.

Question: what is Otorhinolaryngology?

Answer: Otolaryngology is the branch of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, and head & neck disorders. The full name of the specialty is otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Practitioners are called otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons, or sometimes otorhinolaryngologists (ORL). A somewhat outdated, but nevertheless commonly used, term for this speciality is ENT (ear nose and throat). Otolaryngologists are medical doctors who complete at least five years of surgical residency training (one year in general surgery, four years in otolaryngology - head and neck surgery). Following residency training, some otolaryngologists elect to complete advanced subspeciality fellowships which are usually one or two years in duration. As with all medical fellowships, acceptance is highly competitive. For more info see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otolaryngology

Question: Are these good credentials for a plastic surgeon? My plastic surgeon has a D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) and a F.O.C.O.O. (Fellow of the Osteopathic College of Ophthalmology and Otorhinolaryngology). I am worried because he isn't part of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Are these good credentials for a plastic surgeon?

Answer: Anyone with a medical license can perform surgical procedures in an office. Your doctor should be board certified and have hospital privileges somewhere. From www.boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon.com/credentials_meaning.html: When we refer to a plastic surgeon as "board-certified", we mean one who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The ABPS is the only board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) to certify physicians in the full range of plastic and reconstructive procedures. To be certified by the ABPS, a physician must have at least five years of approved surgical training, including a residency in plastic surgery. He or she must also pass a comprehensive written and oral exams in plastic surgery.

Question: Medical practioner specialties? If a doctor received his or her MD in otorhinolaryngology but is also a board certified surgeon do they get the salary of an ENT doctor and the salary of a general surgeon or just the ENT salary?

Answer: First of all, ENT is a surgical specialty. It's an integral part of their training. Secondly, WWD is right. It's rare to get a salary. You get paid for each office visit and surgical procedure... if you're lucky and have patients who pay. Out of that, you pay your malpractice insurance, office rent, nurses' salaries and benefits, your own health insurance and other expenses, a whole lot of taxes (both employer and employee sides of your own income - we get hit twice there). ENT docs in the US make a good living, but they work hard for it.

Question: Is this a good medical education program? (10 Points)? I will soon start to apply for med schools and the one that interests me most has a rather peculiar study course, could you please tell me if you consider it to be good enough (btw, the subjects are not in order) or if its lacking something (people who've actually been in med school, ill appreciate your answers the most). Another "btw", this study course wasn't originally in English, so I tried to translate it the best I could. Thanks so much to anyone who answers! :) Health Services Administration Anatomy Clinical Anatomy Biological Bases of Diseases Biostatistics Biophysics Cellular Biology Cancer Biology Development Biology Molecular Biology Biochemistry Health Quality Emergency Medicine - Trauma Neurology - Psychiatry Orthopedics - Rheumatology Clinical Pathology Cardio - Vascular Nephrology - Urology Pulmonology Ophthalmology Endocrinology Gastroenterology Infectology Otorhinolaryngology Dermatology Clinical Genetics Gynecology - Obstetrics Hematology Doctor-Patient Communication Human Dignity & Spirituality Sustainable Project Design & Evaluation Human Ecology Endonutrition Epidemiology Health Ethics Cellular Physiology General Physiology Formation of Health Human Resources Genomics and Proteomics Geriatircs Leadership Abilities Clinical History Medical History and Philosophy Immunology Scientific Reading & Writing Health Legislation Internal Medicine Investigation Methodology Pediatrics Practicum: Surgery 1 Practicum: Surgery 2 Practicum: Surgery 3 Public Health Evidence-based health information systems Therapeutic Pharmacology Therapeutic Surgery ICT in Health Sciences There are also these optional subjects: Basic Prehospitalary Attention Pharmacoeconomics Sociomedics and optional diplomas: Diploma in Medical Leadership: Integrated Medicine Specific Surgery Subjects Specific OBGYN Subjects Specific Internal Medicine Subjects Specific Pediatrics Subjects or Diploma in Medical Investigation: Bases of Clinical Investigation Biosecurity Experimental Design Basic Instruments of Biomedical Investigation Experimental Biomedic Techniques Experimental Molecular Medicine Techniques The program lasts four years, and then you do one of internship and one of social service. Then I'd be off to a residence (I have my eye on Plastic Surgery). This university is in Mexico, do you think I could get into a good plastic surgery residency in the US with this education? (btw, i've been a straight A student all my life and I like to help people, just for if anyone was thinking of criticizing me by saying I wasn't ready or something... I've thought this over a loooot)

Answer: The name of the course is not as important as how well they teach it. If it is an Accredited Medical School, you should be OK. You will need some General Surgery before moving on. How much depends on the program. Top of your class, you do well. bottom half, you have to beg for a good program. Check the school's rating in the US, if that is where you plan on training.

Question: Can someone tell me the name of any drops that can help me cure my Otitis Externa without prescription? I am living in the US, as I married a US born, citizen. I moved here a couple of years ago, and since the beginning the tap water... showers begun to affect my ears.. white skin begun to come out of them, each time more and thicker. And I got a lot of itching... with internet I figured I had Ear Eczema. This since like 6 months ago. Now yesterday I got in the pool, and got out of there with more itching, and it became a horrible pain that is growing, I cannot sleep, and have pain when eating. Now after research my conclusion is I got Otitis Externa or swimmers ear. Yeah I know the first advice is go to the Doctor... we have no insurance, that has been a drama for me since I moved here, because it seems that they can NEVER tell you how much does it cost to see a doctor. They always make you sign and then sent you bills for insane amounts, we've paid 500 dolars for stuff that in my country cost 40. My call to the Otorhinolaryngology places in town came with the average cost of... "it can be between 100us and 800us" depending on what the doctor does.)-: And we can not deal with that. Or at least if I found a self-cure we won't be force to pay the insane amount that they come up with. Till now I've read a lot about it, not let water in, read the vinegar mix thing, but I want some drops that are made to cure it, not to prevent, nor kill bacteria over counters please if anyone by experience know any medicine that is sold without prescription please help.

Answer: It's really hard to give you a recommendation over the internet... I would suggest to go to a local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist to give you an suggest after looking at your ear... talking with a pharmacist is free and very helpful! hope you get it resolved!
