who is a doctor

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA

A doctor is someone who practices medicine to treat illnesses and injuries. They are also called physicians.

Doctors go to medical school to be trained. They typically hold a college degree in medicine. Doctors once made house calls to treat patients at home, but now mostly see patients in their offices or in hospitals. Doctors may also work for schools, companies, sports teams, or the military. Doctors are often assisted by nurses or other staff.

Doctors treat patients by diagnosing them, or figuring out what is wrong. When doctors diagnose a patient, they begin by asking questions about the patient's symptomssuch as fever, headache, or stomach ache. They may ask other questions about things like past illnesses or family members who have been sick. They will then examine the patient, often looking at different parts of the body and listening to the heart and lungs with a stethoscope. Sometimes they may need to collect blood, use an x-raymachine, or use other tools to look for things they cannot see when examining the patient. Usually, when they have gathered enough information, a doctor can make a diagnosis and then prescribe a treatment. Often they prescribe drugs.

Some doctors specialise in a certain kind of medicine. These doctors are called specialists. They may only treat injuries to a certain part of the body, or only treat patients who have certain diseases. For example, there are doctors who specialise in diseases of the stomach or intestines. Other doctors are "general practitioners" or "family practitioners". This means that they do a little bit of everything. They try to deal with as much of a patient's health problems as they can without sending them to a specialist. A doctor who performs surgery is called a surgeon.

Other kinds of doctors specialise in treating eyes. They are called eye doctors, or ophthalmologists. Doctors who specialise in treating feet are called podiatrists. They often give people medicine for feet, such as creams. These doctors are usually found working in their own offices(private practice), as opposed to other offices.

 WHO ISAirline Pilot

                                           delta pilots

Airline pilots fly passengers and/or cargo on long or short-haul flights for leisure, business or commercial purposes.

The aircraft is typically operated by two pilots; one will be the captain who is the pilot in command, while the other will be the supporting first officer. The pilots will usually take turns to fly the plane to avoid fatigue, with one operating the controls while the other speaks to air traffic control and completes the paperwork. In some instances, such as long-haul flights, there may be three or four pilots on board so that the necessary breaks from flying can be taken.

The captain has the overall responsibility for the safe and efficient operation of the aircraft and the safety of crew and passengers.

Prior to the flight, pilots check flight plans, ensure that the aircraft's controls are operating efficiently and calculate the required fuel for the flight. They are also responsible for checking the weather conditions and briefing cabin crew.

Typical work activities

The job of a pilot comes with heavy responsibility and personal commitment. Stringent training courses have to be passed followed by recurrent training every six months in order to maintain the relevant licence required for the job.

There is more to the role than just flying the plane, which has to be done safely and economically, and tasks can typically include:

• ensuring all information on the route, weather, passengers and aircraft is received;
• using that information to create a flight plan which details the altitude for the flight, route to be taken and amount of fuel required;
• ensuring the fuel levels balance safety with economy and supervising the loading and fuelling of the aircraft;
• ensuring all safety systems are working properly;
• briefing the cabin crew before the flight and maintaining regular contact throughout the flight;
• carrying out pre-flight checks on the navigation and operating systems;
• communicating with air traffic control before take-off and during flight and landing;
• ensuring noise regulations are followed during take off and landing;
• understanding and interpreting data from instruments and controls;
• making regular checks on the aircraft's technical performance and position, on weather conditions and air traffic during flight;
• communicating with passengers using the public address system;
• reacting quickly and appropriately to environmental changes and emergencies;
• updating the aircraft logbook and writing a report at the end of the flight noting any incidents or problems with the aircraft.
