Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A four-year-old male has fallen off the swingset, and his leg now bends in an additional place. It needs to be reset.

Answer: Orthopedist

Orthopedic specialists are doctors who can put bones and joints in their proper alignment. When a bone is broken badly, an orthopedist is the best choice for making sure it is back in place and can heal in the best possible way.
2. A 42-year-old female with pain down her left arm is nauseous and feels as if something heavy were on her chest.

Answer: Cardiologist

The symptoms described could be a heart attack (also known as a myocardial infarction). This patient should call 911 and get to an emergency room as quickly as possible, where a cardiologist (a doctor who is a heart specialist) will no-doubt examine her, run tests, and decide on the best course of treatment.
3. A 17-year old male, with dry red itchy patches on his face and arms, with no fever or any other symptoms.

Answer: Dermatologist

Dermatologists specialize in skin problems. Because the patient has no fever, it does not appear to be an infection. A dermatologist would be able to test for allergies or other sources of this rash, and would be able to prescribe the best remedies to help it clear up quickly.
4. A 52-year-old female with rapid weight gain, who is always thirsty, and suffers from headaches, dizziness, and hunger.

Answer: Endocrinologist

An endocrinologist deals with problems with the different hormones secreted by the body. This patient may be hypoglycemic, pre-diabetic or even diabetic. The endocrinologist would be able to run tests to see if her body is producing insulin as it should and determine the best treatment to help her feel well again.
5. A 30-year-old male complaining of burning in the pit of his stomach, who says everything he eats makes him feel bad.

Answer: Gastroenterologist

A gastroenterologist is a specialist in everything to do with the stomach and digestion. This patient may have acid reflux, parasites, or signs of an ulcer. The specialist will be able to get to the bottom of his symptoms and help him feel like new again.
6. A 65-year-old male has to urinate every few hours and gets up several times every night to go to the bathroom.

Answer: Urologist

Urologists specialize in men's urinary and sexual health. The urologist would give this man several tests to determine the source of his frequent urination. It could be a urinary tract infection, it could be a problem with his prostate or it could be something else altogether.
7. A two-day old baby born four weeks prematurely who is in an incubator in the hospital.

Answer: Neonatologist

Neonatologists specialize in newborns, and they are the perfect doctors to interpret everything that goes on with premature births. This baby will be at her normal weight in no time.
8. A 48-year-old woman who loses her balance, can't find words for everyday things, and is sometimes disoriented.

Answer: Neurologist

Though there are many different things that could be causing these symptoms, of the specialists given in this quiz, a neurologist is a best place to start. Neurologists specialize in problems with the human nervous system and would be able to run a battery of tests to determine the cause of these particular symptoms.
9. A 35-year-old male who recently had surgery to remove a malignant lung tumor now needs further treatment.

Answer: Oncologist

Oncologists specialize in treating people with different types of cancer. There have been many advances in recent years, and the treatments available are as varied as the types of the disease itself. A cancer diagnosis is always scary, but there is a lot more hope these days than just a few years ago and many people recover completely.
10. A 30-year-old woman has missed two menstrual cycles and thinks she is pregnant.

Answer: Obstetrician

An obstetrician specializes in women's reproductive health, especially pregnancy. This would definitely be the doctor to go to when a patient is pregnant or suspects she might be. This doctor would monitor the mother's health during the pregnancy and help the baby develop as it should, all the way up to the delivery.
