Hi. I'm Chris. I'm a Microbiology/Pre-Medicine student. I've worked in the health care field for 6 years now, beginning as a Medical Assistant/Lab Tech and now I am working my way towards my desired career as a Emergency Medicine physician. I've worked in pediatrics, emergency medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, and internal medicine. I've also worked closely with EMTs, Paramedics, Nurses, and Doctors in clinical settings.

While all the advice I provide has been researched or comes from solid personal experience, don't use it in place of your own doctor's directions. No medical advice obtained online is a valid substitute. Take your health into your own hands and seek treatment for health problems. You'll thank yourself for it. If you're experiencing an emergency, don't use Wiki Answers. Dial 911 or your physician as soon as possible and seek emergency treatment.
