An anesthesiologist is indeed a “doctor,” but an M.D., not a PhD. He or she has the same medical training as a family physician, but takes additional training in anesthetics, medially induced comas, and the like. Physicians finish a college degree, usually in a science like chemistry or biology, go through Medical School, then finish an internship, all of which takes many years. A specialist, such as an anesthesiologist, takes more courses, and thus the status takes longer to achieve. How “hard” all of this is depends on how well prepared you are when you start (good grades in junior high and high school?) how interested you are in the field, and how much effort you put in.

Epilepsy Explained by Reuber MD, PHD, MRCP, Markus Elger MD, PHD, MRCP, Christian E Schachter MD, Steven C Edition ILL, 1 $21.99 In the last five years, approximately 2.7 million people have been treated for epilepsy and it is estimated that as much as one in one-hundred of the world’s population will develop epilepsy during their lifetime. It is further estimated that 60 million people worldwide have epilepsy and in the United States alone, between seventy to eighty thousand people are newly diagnosed each year.

This down-to-earth book is divided into easy-to-digest sections that address such fundamental questions as what epilepsy is, what happens in different types of epileptic seizures, how epilepsy is diagnosed, and how seizures are treated. The authors include much-needed information on numerous topics, including living successfully with seizures, patients rights, and current drugs used to treat epilepsy–all described with directness and clarity, with many real-life examples that shed light on how the topic under discussion affects people with epilepsy. The book includes information for particular groups of readers such as women, children, and teens. It has an easy-to-follow organization, is clearly structured and has a detailed index and glossary, allowing readers to easily find specific information pertaining to their condition. Written by physicians who work daily with epilepsy, this clear and engaging book provides people with the knowledge they need to make informed choices about their illness.
