  • 1) Always consider using NanobacTX to reverse your patients coronary artery disease instead of PCI or CABG. 2) If the patient can live for 7 days w/o intervention, then use NanobacTX and the patient will probably not ever need your PCI. 3) Place all invalid CAD/CHF and non-operative "train wreck" patients on NanobacTX and watch them get better! They will think you are a God, will tell their friends and refer many patients to you.....you will become a legend!

    Google on nanobiotech & NanobacTX

  • Almost all medical schools require 1 year (2 semesters) of biology, not 2. After medical school, you must complete an Internal Medicine residency that is 3 years long. You must then do a Cardiology fellowship that is 3 years long in order to become a cardiologist. You can then further sub-specialize with an additional 1-2 year cardiology fellowship (interventional, electrophysiology, pediatric, etc.).

  • OMG TOO MUCH SCIENCE

  • What a strange dude, and he talks funny too! And why the hell is practice administrator, for Heme/Onc no less, talking about cardiology? I guess, by looking over, he talks about other specialites. What a loser!

  • Pfft,this is a stereotype for the losers who think they will become rich by becoming a physician...A cardiologist,like any other specialists,tend to work overtime,always.

    Being unable to see your girlfriend,your kids and friends and camp at the hospital over 70 hours/week is not a normal life,it actually requires PASSION and COMMITMENT,yes you will get paid alot,but hey,you won't have time to chill anyways,if you want money,do an MBA.

  • gee whiz....about 18 years total to become a cardiologist! That's crazy!!!! That's why they get paid the BIG bucks!

  • a lot
