(2) What makes a successful surgeon? (3) Do you want to be a doctor? Why or why not? (4) Are you afraid of making mistakes? What helps you overcome them? Can you give an example? 2. Background Information (1) Three Types of Doctors ① General Practitioners A general practitioner cares for patients with all kinds of illness. He may not have special training in any one field of medicine, but develops a wide knowledge of all kinds of illness. He delivers babies, diagnoses diseases, performs surgery, and sets broken bones. The general practitioner often becomes extremely skillful in the art of medical practice. ② Specialists Certain fields of medicine require special advanced training and skill. One specialist is a surgeon, who treats diseases by means of operations. Some doctors prefer to treat only certain kinds of illness, thus becoming specialists in their chosen fields. Other doctors often consult them when a patient needs their special skill and knowledge. For example, a general practitioner might refer a pregnant woman to an obstetrician. The obstetrician cares for her and delivers her baby. A pediatrician, who specializes in childhood diseases, then takes over the care of the infant. ③ Researchers Some doctors do not practice medicine after they complete medical training. They prefer to devote their time to medical research. These doctors often help teach
future physicians in medical schools.At the same time,they use the laboratories and hospital facilities of the medical schools to conduct research programs. Many medical researchers work in large hospital centers,while many physicians conduct research programs in addition to their private practices (2)Careers in Medicine in the US To become a medical doctor in the US,one must attend four years of college and receive a bachelor's degree,followed by four years of medical school.Then he becomes an intern in a hospital and receives supervised practical training.As an intem, he has to"make rounds"with other doctors,visiting hospital patients.He is supposed to help give special treatments and answer emergency calls in the hospital at any time of day and night.Finally he becomes a resident at a hospital.Like the intem,he leams by observing the work of others.But the resident has much more responsibility than the intem.He often assists experienced surgeons during operations.In an emergency. he may take over the work of the staff surgeon.Intemship and residency combined take three to five years,depending on one's areas of specialization.Hospitals have several interns and many residents on their staff.A resident who is completing his/her residency period and who has thereby distinguished himself/herself is selected to be chief resident,a position of greater responsibility.

(2) Careers in Medicine in the US To become a medical doctor in the US, one must attend four years of college and receive a bachelor’s degree, followed by four years of medical school. Then he becomes an intern in a hospital and receives supervised practical training. As an intern, he has to “make rounds” with other doctors, visiting hospital patients. He is supposed to help give special treatments and answer emergency calls in the hospital at any time of day and night. Finally he becomes a resident at a hospital. Like the intern, he lea rns by observing the work of others. But the resident has much more responsibility than the intern. He often assists experienced surgeons during operations. In an emergency, he may take over the work of the staff surgeon. Internship and residency combined take three to five years, depending on one’s areas of specialization. Hospitals have several interns and many residents on their staff. A resident who is completing his/her residency period and who has thereby distinguished himself/herself is selected to be chief resident, a position of greater responsibility. Key: to attend 4 years of college and receive a bachelor’s degree Followed by 4 years of medical school An intern in the hospital A resident in a hospital Selected to be a chief resident 3. Introductory Remarks This passage is written by Dr. William Nolen, a well-known American surgeon and author. Dr. Nolen reveals to us in his writing that he, as a doctor, had gone a long way before he became a surgeon. Then, what quality, according to Dr. Nolen, is essential in the making of a surgeon?
