Young Doctors In Debt (Money Magazine)

"Such are the lives of medical residents: med educate graduates getting years of on-the-job training putting in brutal hours for salaries that on an hourly basis work out to a little more than they could earn stocking the shelves at Costco," according to Money Magazine. " It's all supposed to pay off of course. Once they change state full-fledged doctors (attending physicians in the trade) they'll have six-figure incomes more reasonable hours a respected occupation and work that they love. But for this generation of doctors financial security won't come guaranteed with their medical licenses. As health-care economics squeeze physician salaries rising college and med school tuitions are putting young doctors ever deeper in the hit."

The Diet Doctors: Inside & Out - Wednesday November 28

Housewife Marie Gough used to be a regional Strongwoman champion. She loved pumping iron and maintained a weight of 13 stone. At night she was a bouncer in Nottingham and was strong enough to chuck out burly men brawling in her club. But after Marie had children she stopped working and training and put on over five stone. Various diets that she has tried have failed to shift the weight. Unfortunately weight is not Marie’s only problem. She suffers from a dangerous condition called venous insufficiency where veins in her right leg are shutting down and rising to the surface causing her right foot to swell three sizes bigger than her left. This is exacerbated by her size and her 20-a-day cigarette habit. Marie is too heavy to have the operation which could remedy the problem; ultimately if left untreated she could lose a leg. The Diet Doctors waste no time in telling Marie that she has to do something about her weight sooner rather than later –for the sake of her health and her children. Of particular concern to Samina is Marie’s venous insufficiency. A venous ulcer – which might not heal – is a likely outcome if she does not turn her health around. A further cause for worry is Marie’s high risk of deep vein thrombosis since she has suffered one in the past. Marie is also bothered by hard pus-filled lumps that appear around her abdomen and thighs when she has been eating particularly poorly. Her hair is thin and lank and her heels cracked. Pam’s nutritional recommendations are to cut out the cola salt-rich ready meals white bread and sugary foods; and to reduce her portion sizes. Marie’s usual breakfast is a cup of tea and a cigarette. In the new regime. Pam prescribes something more nutritious such as porridge and fruit. The rest of her diet must be rich in vegetables fruit cereals and whole grain bread for fibre; oily fish nuts and seeds for essential fats; and dark red berries to strengthen veins and capillaries. hii just watched the show.- i love diet doctors- and all of the parts i have seen was with a succesfull person who lost weight by following the plan which can not be a big secret and we all know that: healthy eating and exrecise the reason i like watching this show is bcoz it shows all the bad illness u can get being overweight/ smoking cigarettes/eating unhealthy fatty foods/drinking- no doubt their system works. The lady(marie?) said at the end of the show that she didnt like their plan?. what ? giving up on cigarette?eating more healthy food?or go to the gym?( i know i know. i read the comments- they did not pay for her the gym pass. but HONESTLY. how many of us who desperate to lose weight has to pay for the gym??? EVERY OF US ( unless u own the gym lol)-). so i am sorry to say that but- all i could see was someone who was too lazy to follow a plan.. but as i read she lost 15 pounds after the show..( wondering how did she do that? dont say it was healthy diet and exercise.. ) one thing for sure. when i finished watching the show. i had to jump up on my stepper to do a 25 min session and did 100 sit ups. bcoz i dont want to end up like her: being overweight and crying that i am overweight while i am stuffing my mouth with sugary /fatty food ( this comment is not directed to her. but so many ppl do the same thing as her: but when it comes to do something about it. they just simple refuse it and they come up with all the stupid exuses...)so good luck all of you who got inspired by the show ( no matter how edited it was. ppl want to see the result of a hard work.. bcoz lets face it: you have to work hard to lose that nasty pounds ) I do agree with what you are saying. I was over the moon that i got to appear on Diet Doctors and could not beleive how lucky i was to get the chance to turn my life around. We all received so much on the show the tests we all had the treatment etc,the list go on. You are so right when you say its us who puts the food in our mouths. I have been a yo yo dieter for years and a binge eater but years ago i was the opposite and use to starve myself for weeks and then binge eat and starve again. The biggest break through i had on the show was i went on this amazing journey with Diet Doctors apart from learning about healthy eating and exercise,i learnt so much about myself and that the binge eating was down to other issues in my life. I am now having counselling for this and hopefully will be able to look forward to a brighter and happier future and not let food control me anymore. The advice and support i received on the show from all involved was amazing and i could never thank them enough. They changed my life in many ways and even though i was the one who put in all the hard work to achieve the results i did it was them that pointed me in the right direction to achieve my goals and supported me all the way. If any of you are thinking of applying do it and i really hope you get the chance that i was given and was so grateful for. You could not meet nicer people. I have always been Mum or Petes wife but they mad me feel like Mandy again and that felt so good. If you do get the chance to appear on the show do not worry about posing in your underwear i was so scared but they did not judge me and made me feel comfortable and we all had a really good laugh. At the end of the day i was fat because i had a poor diet and when binge eating ate anything and everything so i only had myself to blame. Like i said you just need to push yourself and get out of your comfort zone. You will never get the results you want to get blaming everyone else whilst sitting on the sofa eating a packet of biscuits it does not work like that. You only get out what you put in. Good luck to anyone who is applying to go on the show you wont regret it. I've gotta comment as I do know Marie and her family. If at the beginning of the treatment when you didn't like what they were telling you or thought that they were only telling you things that you already knew why didn't you get out of the programme?If I had been you even if I'd thought that I knew better I'd of done my hardest to make sure I lost SOME weight whilst recording the show or at least SHOWN some willing instead of standing in the kitchen having a fag first thing in the morning moaning about the whole thing. Alot of people will be angry at you because they would of loved the opportunity to of got the help you were offered and some of them probably applied and got turned down then they see you on there looking like you don't give a s**t about the help they are offering and as for the gym thing I know that you went a FEW times then you just didn't bother!And even if lets say you were right and they didn't send you the information and pay for things like promised then WHY didn't you(who already knows better and they haven't told you anything you didn't already know!)do YOUR hardest to lose some weight,you could of done your self a training programme(as you are a 'former strong woman champion')and got them recording you following that and then at the last weigh in when you've lost some weight you could of turned round and said Yes I lost weight but that was no thanks to you the information I did actually get from you was useless and I lost weight following my own regime,you would of had the recording of you doing your own training programme to back you up. Now then I would of had some respect for you. I also know ALL your family have offered help(like going to a gym with you which happened a few times before it soon stopped)and support and like anyone they'll only do it for so long before they get sick of having it slung back in their faces or get fed up of hearing the moaning about your weight whilst munching on food!NO-ONE else is resposible for your weight that is on you,NO-ONE put the food in your mouth for you or forced you to eat it YOU made that choice and it is YOU whose got to want to lose the weight else it will only be a 'flash in the pan'. I would never say that marie dosen't love her kids as she does she just needs to love her self as well and the smart alec comments cover alot of things that she feels about herself. Like everyone it's a self defense mechanism she has but MARIE you have to lose weight for yourself and instead of blaming that you've not got enough support from others do this to prove to them and yourselves that your stronger than that and that YOU CAN LOSE WEIGHT because marie I really think YOU CAN DO IT just stop blaming others and take responsibility for your own actions. I wish you only well on losing weight and only happiness in the future. Well done to you for losing 15lbs. I did lose weight before the show it was over a stone. I had also been a yo yo dieter for years and it was much harder for me to lose weight than all of you,because i have an under active thyroid. I dont understand why you had to put your hand in your pocket and everyone else did'nt. All i am saying is the show did not make you look bad in any way and for them to do that they would be giving themselves a bad profession reputation in the work they do. I have many problems which were not metioned on the show which has effected most of my life but there main interest was the one we had that could be turned around by eating a healthy diet and exercise. I sure they all felt they had failed in not be able to show and teach you how to achieve your goals and change your lifestyle. At the end of the day you have to give yourself a pat on the back cause you had the balls to go on national TV and do what you did. Many people may pass judgement but at the end of the day why worry what everyone else thinks as long as you have the love and support from you children,family and friends that is all that matters. You have done so well to lose 15lbs and should be proud of yourself but sometimes losing weight is not always the answer to your problems it can run deeper than that and i am a prime example. I really do wish you the best of luck and hope you achieve all that you want out of life but dont lose weight for anyone else or because of what people say about you do it for you and you will get the results you want. It is very hard comming out of your comfort zone believe some days i wish that i never had to worry about food and exercise and be like i was when i was a teenager eating anything i wanted and not worring about it but thats the joy of getting older. You will get there i am still working on it myself but when i go food shopping the mars bars seem to follow me around the supermarket and then jump in to my back without me looking. Keep up the good work and you will get where you want to be. Take care and all the best. P. S - if you want any help with anything you only have to ask. Like i said it works for all you because you hadnt lost any weight it kick started your weight loss and you all did great. I however had lost 2 stone before the show started and had plataued i have however since jan1st instigated some new changes and lost another 15lbs. I am not wastin anything it just wasnt for me I did know better because i knew i hadnt been given a gym membership i knew my trainer only appeared less than a handful of times i Knew that was paying for me to go swimming and was told ide be reinbursed and never was! so lucky for you who never had to ut ur hands in ur pockets who hadnt tried to loose weight before the show and who did well on it but i had worked hard before hand was given no information i didnt know already and there was a distinct lack of support. Now seems as apart from on the firt day when we all sat about aboutside of prets you never saw me I dont see how you can comment an y more than anyone else as you are not aware of the circumstances behind my episode but thanks for your time and well done you! Hi my name is Mandy. I appeared on the Diet Doctors show and it was the best thing i have ever done. Pam,Samina,Ben and all the crew were so lovely,supportive and could not do enough for you. They went out of there way to help you to achieve all your goals and did everything they could in helping you reach them. What we all received on the show was something that we could never probably afford ourselfs and not once did we have to put our hands in our pockets for anything. The show was not made to make anyone look bad or make anyone look a laughing stock,it just filmed you exactly as you were. I am sorry Marie but you was given a chance of a lifetime and wasted it by refusing to follow the plan and accept all help and support given. The plan worked for everyone else but not you and thats because you thought you new better. My husband also followed the plan but was not as strict as me and still had his sugar and beer at the weekends and he lost two stone. I am still in contact with Pam,Samina,Ben and the crew and they still give me advice and support and are always there if i need them. My advice is Marie or anyone else trying to shift the weight is go out and buy there book,it has a 12 week plan in it and its not strict or boring. If you really want to change for the better remember you only get out what you put in. If you want something badly enough you can achieve anything. Do it before its to late otherwise you will look back and regret it believe me i have been there and done it and wasted many years in the progress. Its just up to you to decide if you really want it that bad enough. To all the people on here who are making comments about me and telling me to get a life ide like to ask one question who the hall are you to comment on my life when you are the ones sat here day after day 2 months after the show was aired slaggin me off and making assuptions about me?Tho most of you have put anonymous I feel pretty certain I could name u all and my darling sisters and ex the main instigators how very kind of them. For those of you who do know me and my sisters if u were to take a step back and look withut rose tinted glasses you will see that they are far from perfect but are infact quite two faced and narrow minded. ALL THAT CONCERNS THEM IS THE WAY THEY ARE PERCEIVED BY THE GENERAL PIBLIC but the simple truth is the sheer quantity of people who were aware of the show is down to them thinking it funny to let everyone know as I would be seen in my underwear. You are of course welcome to continue with your malicious comments your incorrect assumptions of me and my journey with the diet doctors you are welcome to take the words of my sisters or my ex partner who portray things to suit themselves. You are welcome to believe the media spin put on the show you are all welcome to think and say whatever you wish as it really doesnt make any difference to me. I along with those who care about me and went through this with me are aware of the truth and they are the only opinions that count. I have a good support system within the close relationships I have within my life. Not the ones forced upon me but the ones I have chosen or been blessed with. MY sisters have never offered support infact spent many years telling people i was either adopted or lesleys personal favourite is to tell people ( as we are twins ) she was the baby I was the afterbirth. I let her have this for a while only to remind her at a very oppertune time that the afterbirth is what contains all the goodness is the life support for the baby which may or may not turn out well. I will allow you to draw your own conclusions on this but maybe before you all jump on a band wagon of abuse in future maybe you should think twice about why the person in question us under attack from her own family before anyone else and it is all due to the fact they are concerned about how THEY will be viewed! well firstly let me just say jodie you obviously do not live locally as you would have a VERY different opinion of marie if you did & i appreciate you saying you dont know her as well as the people round here do what you saw is the side of her she puts on to people when shes trying to pretend to be someone shes not the rude obnoxious foul mouthed arrogant self centred cant be bothered image she portrayed in the diet doctors episode was exactly how she is as you probably gathered from the programme marie has alot of illneses which (she uses to her advantage i might add) were mostly weight related may i ask you jodie if you had these life threatning illnsses if not for your own sake but your childrens would you not get up get motivated & try & lose the weight thats making you ill ? marie has always been an attention seeker & will put on whatever face is needed to be in the limelight if they'd been making a prgramme on quantem pysics i bet she'd claim she knew more about it than steven hawking just to try & get on tv as for your closing comment "it was clear to see she had lost a fantastic amount of weight" i have known marie many many years & all ive seen her do is put on weight never lose it my conclusion is marie does not intend to lose any weight at all but continue with her sea food diet & hope it magicly works Right well first of all let me start by saying I do not claim to know Marie as well as her family or her ex partner but I do know her and I also know the tv industry as I worked with her during the show. What you all saw was a cleverly edited show made to portray arie as the bad guy and the diet doctors as the ones who championed her gave her everything possible all she needed to turn her weight around. The cold hard truth is this didnt happen! There was a mix up with the email addresses and several of the competitors didnt receive the diet information Marie was one of them. Marie was also not given the documentation the show stated as there was a huge portion of her " nutritionalist information" missing. The personal trainer featured in the show attented 3 sessions prior to being filmed and never turned up again once he had gotten his details and face on air. No gym fees were paid for Marie and the fact of the atter is it was a clerical error as to why several appointents were missed for her induction!As for Marie failing to attend the surgery that is completely untrue and I should know as i booker her train tickets and hotels and collected her from the train station! The diet doctors pay a home visit to every competitor half way through as I am sure anyone who watches the show will see the spin put on this visit was purely for the purpose of TV and to ensure they looked like they hadnt neglected marie when this is infact the reason marie was not willing to listen to their advice. Marie became ill part way through the time this was due to a blocked intestine this problem was exasberated by a supplement given to her by Pam the problem was discussed infront of pam and samina and was indeed filmed however this conversation and the severity of the problem was edited from the final cut. Marie was later advised not to continue with the new spplemnet as it is counter active to resolving her issues and an apologetic email was sent. Now along with this there were other things that I am not at liberty to discuss however I hope you are all able to see that programmes such as this are not made to help the individual but to help the sucess and bank account of the tv company. Marie did not do well she did not loose the weight the others did but again edited from the show was the clips of Marie showing pictures of herself from 12 months before when it was clear to see she had lost a fantastic amount of weight herself. Hello all Im Marie's ex. Let me first say to "Glass houses and stones". Dont talk about things you know nothing about. If you were told you were shortning your life and you wouldnt be there for your kids isn't that incentive enough to change. Let me tell you i see marie alot and since the program she has not take aways still i know because my kids tell me she still smokes like a trouper. Is that the kind of example we should set? And as for the attitude its still there,and i get it everyday so much in fact that a relationship i was in since before christmas has ended because of it. Am i bitter. YES. And as for knowing marie behind the scenes you know nothing every body has a face value even my self im not perfect but at the same time "glass houses" dont talk about things you know nothing about kids are usually an incentive for all our dreams can anyone say that this is the case this time? We all create our own demise however some come quicker than others but for the sake of our children it does not need to be helped along. To whom ever wrote this message you could at least stand by what you have to say and leave your name we did. As for knowing Marie when you know her as well as we do you can comment. I Lesley have tried to support her before having lost 6 stone and kept it off for 7 years myself. Not only has Marie made little effort in losing weight but her attitude to the programme and the people who were trying to help her was totally disgusting and I do not want anybody to think we would treat anybody especially people who are helping us the way she did. We have more respect for ourselves our children and other people. Overweight rude lazy and ignorant are the perfect words to discribe Marie and as for us we did not go on tv and take the place of somebody who could have made better use of it. And as for 16 stone who are you kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Marie said she was doing this for her children that was the biggest laugh I had that week so maybe you should explain the blood is thicker than water concept to her. Let me be the first to congratulate Marie's sister on being.... As supportive as ever...? ... As someone who knows Marie behind the scenes. I knew her when she was 19 stone she is now 16 stone. That in itself is quite the achievement. Everyone knows a little praise goes a long way EXCEPT Maries ''sisters'' Who continue with the ''put me downs'' As you can plainly see anyone who reads their comment. All they are bothered about is the way the world will ''tar them with the same brush''. Besides people in glass houses shouldnt throw stones. As for all of those who have agreed with Maries sisters. Have you seen behind the scenes? Do you know what they are like? What do they look like? Overweight? Lazy? Rude? Ignorant? Perfect in everyway? I doubt it. So... Let me be the VERY first to congratulate Marie on her weight loss AND having to deal with these kind of comments from people who dont know her. And as for those that do know her Shes your sister. Put her before your ''embarrassement'' blood is thicker than water afterall.

Doctors laud community for support

DANVILLE —The first year is a milestone for any child but especially so for quintuplets who face greater odds. Two doctors who attended the Ferrill Five’s pre-birthday party gave the babies rave reviews noting they’re healthy sociable and developing properly.“This is a big celebration,” said Dr. Kelly Ross medical director of Mothers of Super Twins and pediatric hospitalist at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. “This is the fairy tale ending for the quints.”Referring to the parents she said. “They’re very blessed and they realize they’re blessed.”The babies have been sick only once thanks to the parents’ and caretakers’ vigilance. Ross who has triplets said the family is fortunate to have so much support. Dr. Michael Paul director of the Center for Multiple Births at Washington University Medical School in St. Louis delivered the Ferrill babies last December. At that time the five babies totaled 16 pounds. Now each weighs that much he said adding it’s exciting to see that. Because multiple births carry more risks it’s outstanding to see how healthy the babies are he said. Each child is growing and developing as he or she should and each has a unique personality he said. The babies are mobile — that is crawling or trying to walk — and interacting with each other.“It’s miraculous,” he said adding a lot of work has gone into getting them to this inform. Both doctors credited the community with the quints’ successful development. Parents of multiple babies are overwhelmed with the day-to-day care. Paul said. However people have pitched in to back up Pete and Jenny with those daily tasks.“Because the community has helped they (the parents) can focus on interacting with the children in a parenting way not a caretaker way,” he said. That has allowed the children to be fostered and taught in a way that many babies never get he said.“They’ll continue to be the centerpiece of the community and they’ll be a good centerpiece,” he said of the children. “And that’s the miracle.”Danville has been helpful in stepping up to back up he said. “That’s a testament to the community and the Midwest.”
