PROFESSION: DOCTOR

2. HOW TO BECOME A DOCTOR IN ITALY
In our country, after High School, you have to attend the Faculty of
Medicine and Surgery at the University for six years. When you finish
these years you obtain a degree as a GP, General Prectitioner, so if you
want to specialize in something, like neurosurgery, you have to study for
other 5 years. After that, you can begin to work.

3. SCIENCE IN DOCTOR'S WORK
Science is the basis of Medicine, which includes:
Chemistry
Biology
Anatomy

4. CHEMISTRY
No chemistry no life, in fact every part of our body is made by molecules and atoms and
it's not all :
- The digestive processes are caused by chemical reaction, in fact without chemistry we
can't be fed;
- Our brain works thanks to some cells called neurons and the the signal from brain
moves thanks to some neurotransmitter and are made of chemical elements;
- Every object in our world is made of atoms and molecules, even if we don't realize it.

5. BIOLOGY
Chemistry is the science of life because it studies living organisms' life processes.
For example: there are 4 blood groups, A, B, AB, 0, so a doctor has to know his
patient's blood type because if he doesn't and he does a wrong blood transfusion the
patient could die because of blood clotting.

6. ANATOMY
In order to take care and operate, the doctors must know anatomy, that is to know
where the organs are disposed. Knowing anatomy permits also to discover if there are
some cancers, in fact during a visit the doctor can perceive some anomalies on the body.
