What is it like for a neurologist during their shift?

So far I have learned that neurologists can be called in on their break, need to be ready at all times, can switch between multiple patients throughout the day, and that neurologists and neurosurgeons can go hand-in-hand during operations. #neurology #a-day-in-the-life #neurologist #medicine...

What is the best way you prepare for your AP Exams?

AP Exams are coming up and as we all know, if we get either a 3, 4 or 5, we get those college credits. Paying $100 or so per exam is better than paying close to $800-$1000 for those classes in college. So, my question to you is how to do you prepare for your AP Exam? How does your teacher...
