What r some types of doctors and and what do they do???

Answer 1

Audiologists - They help with ear problems and also help parents when their children perhaps aren't speaking.

Orthopaediatrician - They work with bones and put casts on people when they've broken a bone.

Radiographers - they deal with medical images such as x-rays and ultrasounds.

Optometrist - A profession that deals with people's eyes and their vision.

Physiologists - they deal with more of the physics and help with getting people into better shape physically. There are often gyms or exercise equipment in the physio area's of a hospital.

and my favourite

Surgeon's - A medical profession involved with more of the theatre and operation side of the hospital. They're usually the ones that cut open bodies to operate on and so forth.

However, there are plenty more other health professions that will enable you to have the title Dr.

Answer 2

The top answer missed off my second speciality, Critical Care.

Imagine JD and Dr Cox on Scrubs (the only show I have time to catch in my breaks, especially since we (hospital staff) were kindly rewarded with the box sets for Christmas.

Critical Care consists of looking after the most critical patients. In other words, the Intensive Care Unit.
