The advance in neurosurgery started with neurosurgical techniques such as stereotactic radiosurgery, a treatment that focuses high amounts of energy on a single…
Is a Chiropractor a "Real Doctor?" Some people say that the definition of a doctor is a simple idea; either you are or you are not a doctor. In all truth being a doctor is something that one should take a tremendous amount of pride in for that accomplishment.

I perceive the definition of a doctor to be someone who has reached the highest level of learning in a particular…
Though it takes away some of the work in medical school, you still have to go through a lot of education before becoming one. After becoming surgeons, you have the lives of people in your hands.

I received this dog as a gift on my second birthday. At which point, she would fit in my father’s work pocket and pester me throughout her “puppy stage.” Over the years, Tiny grew into a best friend, more so than a pet. However, much of this changed when we found out she had a fatty benign tumor. 1.) At the age of 13 in 2013,…
