Today's topic is Medicine.

I am not a pre-med student. I have considered it on and off. I have worked and volunteered in many hospitals in all sorts of positions. I have had full life saving and CPR training since I was 12. I actually need to shell out the money to get recertified. I am also a diabetes and asthma educator. I have always been torn about whether to go into med school. 20 years ago I would have done it (well, if I was this age 20 years ago...I was not planning on becoming a doctor at age 2). However, medicine is not the same as it was 20 years ago. Doctors are no longer free to just treat patients. They have to fill out mountains of paperwork, bicker and battle with insurance companies, and oftentimes have to schedule patients in ten minute blocks to satisfy the HMO they work for. So, I am looking for something else to do. Anyways, today's site is a comprehensive index on diabetes. It is a great resource and is extremely useful for people that have diabetes, or that are in a high risk group. It has a huge amount of invaluable information.
