What do you think about to study Biomedical Engineering?

Q. I like Biomedical Engineering but i don`t know about my future with this carrer, for example about to get a job, but what do you think?

A. Nature of the Work
By combining biology and medicine with engineering, biomedical engineers develop devices and procedures that solve medical and health-related problems. Many do research, along with life scientists, chemists, and medical scientists, to develop and evaluate systems and products for use in the fields of biology and health, such as artificial organs, prostheses (artificial devices that replace missing body parts), instrumentation, medical information systems, and health management and care delivery systems. Biomedical engineers design devices used in various medical procedures, such as the computers used to analyze blood or the laser systems used in corrective eye surgery. They develop artificial organs, imaging systems such as magnetic resonance, ultrasound, and x-ray, and devices for automating insulin injections or controlling body functions. Most engineers in this specialty require a sound background in one of the basic engineering specialties, such as mechanical or electronics engineering, in addition to specialized biomedical training. Some specialties within biomedical engineering include biomaterials, biomechanics, medical imaging, rehabilitation engineering, and orthopedic engineering.
Unlike many other engineering specialties, a graduate degree is recommended or required for many entry-level jobs.



Employment
Biomedical engineers held about 7,600 jobs in 2002. Manufacturing industries employed 38 percent of all biomedical engineers, primarily in the pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing and medical instruments and supplies industries. Many others worked for hospitals. Some also worked for government agencies or as independent consultants.

Job Outlook
Employment of biomedical engineers is expected to faster than the average for all occupations through 2012. The aging of the population and the focus on health issues will increase the demand for better medical devices and equipment designed by biomedical engineers. For example, computer-assisted surgery and molecular, cellular, and tissue engineering are being more heavily researched and are developing rapidly. In addition, the rehabilitation and orthopedic engineering specialties are growing quickly, increasing the need for biomedical engineers. Along with the demand for more sophisticated medical equipment and procedures is an increased concern for cost efficiency and effectiveness that also will boost demand for biomedical engineers. However, because of the growing interest in this field, the number of degrees granted in biomedical engineering has increased greatly, leading to the potential for competition for jobs.

Earnings
Median annual earnings of biomedical engineers were $60,410 in 2002. The middle 50 percent earned between $58,320 and $88,830. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $48,450, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $107,520.
According to a 2003 salary survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, bachelor�s degree candidates in biomedical engineering received starting offers averaging $39,126 a year, and master�s degree candidates, on average, were offered $61,000.


What are signs for perocet 10 overdose?
Q. I have a cousin who has had a very serious hand surgery ( 2 bone grafts , metal plate , and rebreak of crooked bone) . She has had major pain. When we left the hospital after trying to get the pain under control, the doctor sent us home with percoet 10/325. This happened on 11/21 2012. Her pain is so severe that I am afraid she may take more than perscribed. She may still be taking another pain medicine that she was taking for back pain. They contacted the doctor and they said this was the strongest medicine they could send home with her. My question is what kind of symptons should we look for if she is overdosing ?

A. Overdose symptoms may include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, sweating, confusion, weakness, extreme drowsiness, pinpoint pupils, cold and clammy skin, muscle weakness, fainting, weak pulse, slow heart rate, coma, blue lips, shallow breathing, or no breathing.
I know that your concern is in the right place, and I'm glad your cousin has people who care for her so well. Just remember that she's in pain and only she knows how severe her pain is. So if you suspect that she's abusing her medication, the best way to address the situation is lovingly. Tell her that you love her, that you understand that she's hurting and you can't imagine how hard it must be. Ask her how her pain is and pay attention to how she forms her words, if she can maintain eye contact, etc.
The key is to be absolutely loving and not accusatory or angry.
Good luck!


Does anyone know anything about the retinal stem cell transplant clinical trials list?
Q. My central vision is nowhere close to normal and my optamalogist says I'm on the list but isn't clear about when I would receive it. I'm going back to college in the fall (freshmen year) and I want to be a pharmacist but I don't know if I'll be able to go to pharmacy school with these eyes. I have a little more than2 years before I would enter pharmacy school, so do you think I will have the surgery before then?

A. You would have to be accepted for a clinical protocol for that. There is no guarantee that it will be available to you or that you will be an accepted candidate. Do you have a major university hospital in your area that is performing this? There aren't many. Take a look at this PDF about the whole issue:
http://www.rvrc.com/publications/Stem_cell_therapy_in_retinal_disease.6%5B1%5DHighlight.PDF
And here's a decent summary from Time Magazine:

What's the best age for plastic surgery?
Q. I want to get a rhinoplasty,brow lift,Botox in lips (my lips are to defined and heart shaped),laser hair removal on full body,LASIC and finally change eye color. (it's possible search on google)

But what's the best age ? Like when your face has stopped changing?
My mom and dad let me get full body laser hair removal but for the rest they say that I'll have to wait till Im at least 18-19 so 3 years to go.

And when you meet somebody new can they tell that you undergone plastic surgery?

A. Ask Heidi Montag, she started in 2006, by 2010 she had 10 more done!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1244464/Heidi-Montag-Before-plastic-surgery.html

She's having problem finding jobs now, too!

Take a look @ Joan Rivers, BEFORE & AFTER. She's had so many surgeries done.

But if you want one done, you'll want another in other parts of your body, it's just the beginning of others to come. Another example: Heidi Montag had 10 done in one day. March, 2012, now she can't find a job!

Google Celebrities bad surgery gone bad. About 83,200,000 results (0.19 seconds).

They have millions more money than you, and they surely can afford to spend millions of dollars ON BETTER surgeon, so take my advice seriously, because everyone can make mistakes, no one's perfect!

You can get them done in . . . . or Haiti, which is cheaper by far, but you'll end up back in Hollywood to get the procedure corrected.

We all have flaws. Even celebrities making tons of dollars a day! "I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification."
~ Lady Gaga, referring to her cheek prosthetics, which she no longer wears.

Positive attitude makes people BEAUTIFUL, It's because they see other parts of the world suffering more than them. If it's about your tummy, jaw, breasts, face etc. today, what will you find about yourself that's negative tomorrow.
I thought I was ugly, because I never dated, but I treat people with respect, and I inspire them, making their negatives into a positive. Coming from Asia, I've been to where people only eat rice all day & nothing else, but that never bother me, so I've been there, I can relate, but people who has MORE than us, can't seem to appreciate how lucky they are.
