This is the difference between an arthritic hand and a normal hand. Without Rhuematology we wouldn't be able to know what the difference is and what the disease does or how it is caused.

Like any doctor they have to be very smart in subjects like science. I am not very good with science though which is one of the main reasons why I think this career is not for me. Another reason is that I don’t think I have the patients to attend eight years of school after high school learning about all the terms and symptoms and diseases involved with this career. Rheumatologists also have to go through residency which is basically a three to four year job shadow. I wouldn’t be able to handle all that time into this. Rheumatology is an interesting career that requires a lot of time going into it. Rheumatologists have to be good at science and very good at finding signs of diseases before they cause a lot of discomfort to the patients. Everything I have done with this career has been really interesting to me and I’m glad that there Rhuematologists in the world to help us with diseases like arthritis.
