I am a horrible procrastinater, and could use any doctor's help.

[Procrastinator144]

I have a project for school that i have had for about two weeks, i have not attended the class very many times over the course of the last few weeks due to repetitive pediatric and dermotogy visits for a nasty combination of skin diseases. I failed to fully ready the project requirements and upon returning home today from a trip out of town i learned that a short interview was required. My subject is becoming a pediatrician and i would greatly appreciate anyone filling out the below interview.

1. What is your name?  
2. What is your occupation?
3. How did you get interested in this career field?
4. What type of education do you need for this career field?
5. Please briefly describe a typical day at work.
6. How much time do you spend outside of the normal work day working?
7. What is your favorite part of your job?
8. What do you dislike most about your job (if anything)?
9. Upon beginning your career did anything surprise you about the field?

Thank you so much!

Good luck with your project, but can't help you there.  Sometimes consequences help one to be a little less of a procrastinator next time---now, guess how I know that?  I CAN tell you that whether it's your skin or someone else's that has caused those office visits, you need to look at the internal environment, from the mouth to the point of exit for everything that goes down the hatch.  Lose the chemical laced tap water.  Read all labels.  Eat the purest food you can locate.  Try an elimination diet to see which foods might be causing the problem.  Eliminate food that is packaged or processed.  Buy only that which you have to fix.  Since you're a procrastinator, maybe you'll be eating mainly raw, which would be great for your gut, and consequently your skin.  Check out web site after web site.  Check into oil pulling/swishing---fantastic, and cheap way to have a healthy mouth and body; good-bye docs!  So cheap and so easy that most people think it can't work, but 2,000 or more years of doing it in some cultures proves that it does.  The alternative route will never kill you, unless you really exceed recommendations, but campus Greek organizations have been known to kill their pledges by forcing them to drink too much water, so common sense has to enter the picture.  Eat probiotics and enzymes.  You need a high count of the gut good guys to establish a healthy digestive tract.  Try totally eliminating gluten, dairy, sweets, and all processed foods.  You'll know in a few weeks if you feel better.  Consider flushes: liver, kidneys, gallbladder, etc.  Guarantee that if you clean out what you can't see, what you can see, the skin, will look great.  Also, as a certified graduate of the School of Hard Knocks (been there; done that), I can guarantee that your procrastination is going to eventually ruin your life.  Put on your big girl panties and take charge of your life, and years from now you can give a big grin and say, "I DID it!---whatever "it" may be.  If you don't, you'll shed tears of regret and think, "If ONLY I'd have..."   Now, get to it, y'hear?!            Uh, good luck with that interview!
