That’s not that bad.
What about anesthetists?

>>10798852
Actual surgery is a very minor part of a surgeon's time. First you meet with the patient and try to figure out if surgical procedures are needed and what kind. Afterwards you have to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and determine if you there is a need for further surgical intervention.

And trying to get out of telling a hysterical family why their drunk 19 y/o honor student son speeding at 140mph hit a tree and died instantly.

Set to start med school in August, already feel like I don’t belong. I googled some of my classmates and so many of them have accomplishments like scholarship recipients, leadership positions, high gpa, double majors, research/pubs, defending thesis, interesting hobbies like photography, drawing. While I have a bottom 10% gpa for admitted students, average mcat for matriculates, no leadership roles, minimal volunteering, no hobbies aside from being /fit/ and browsing 4chinz and plebbit, no research. I feel like I don’t deserve my acceptance.

The fact that you got accepted should speak for itself, you obviously demonstrated enough worth/talent/whatever the fuck in interviews. Which is likely more substantial and speaks to your character, better than that fag who climbed mountains on every continent or whatever other pointless shit they did.

I'm seeing more and more med schools making the interview/s and extracuriculars being more important than MCAT score and GPA as an admission requirement. All of this MCAT scores "don't outweigh other components of the application and there are no cutoffs for MCAT scores or entrance GPA." stuff. Will the health care sector regret this down the road, or is this to help the perceived shortage of doctors?

>>10799797

Nebulous subjective criteria make it easy for them to discriminate against Asians, whites, and Jews without openly admitting to breaking the law. It will probably work out badly in the long run, but out of all the terrible social projects currently underway this is far from the worst.

>>10799690
>surrounded with niggers

Going to start learning for a career in Clinical Speech Pathology.

any good introductory resources from any audiology fags out there?

>>10799797

It will help by broadening the scope of who can apply to medical school. The MCAT is not a very good predictor of medical school performance anyway and in my country the main component most schools care about is critical analysis and reasoning skills. Some school are also implementing another test called CASPer (basically an autist filter test). These things will ensure that the people getting into medical school have people skills (medicine is a humanistic profession afterall).

Please stop bullying premeds

>>10799797
Where are you seeing this? Last time I had access to the MSAR (last year) average MCAT scores were the highest they've ever been, and no average GPA for a school I was applying to had decreased.

When everyone is above the national 90th percentile you gotta figure out some criteria that's more substantially different than a 518 vs 519 MCAT or 3.91 vs 3.92 GPA
I agree with
>>10799948
That autist screens for 525/4.0 automatons without social skills and with delusions of grandeur are useful. From what I've heard GPA is the most predictive element of USMLE Step 1 scores, but even that number doesn't reflect the same amount of effort or achievement for every graduate from every university. And even then the link between Steps and clinical performance outcomes is tenuous at best.

>>10800055
stop bully

>>10799948
>critical analysis and reasoning
not well defined things and what you’re referencing is just intelligence which is easily assessed with MCAT scores and GPA.

>Pre triage, patient says it has been going on for 24 hours
>Triage it has been going on for a week
>When referred they say it has been going on for a month

Why the fuck are patients like this

>>10800250
Sometimes patients forget and then remember the timeline of their illness as they talk through it, but most often it's because doctors and triage nurses ask bad questions and don't listen carefully to answers.

>>10800391
I've seen people change how long they've had something multiple times in the same day. I think in their head they think 'if I say it's been going on longer that means it's more serious which means they'll treat me better'.

Would any of you be interested in a /med/cord or anything of the sort

>>10800175
>easily assessed with MCAT scores and GPA.
Not that tight a correlation. Oh, and he's referencing a section of the MCAT (abbreviated CARS) so take your issues with the definition with the test makers you're defending

>going to pursue phd and academic and research career in the future

>>10800152
>Where are you seeing this?
I've seen it on a number of websites for med school admissions, including some IVY league ones.
I also agree with >>10799948, heck my university's med school admission already has the CASPer and is now considering implementing the multiple mini interview system on top of the 2 interviews with admissions and medical department staff. In the summer, the med students attend lessons on interview skills, and then practice with random faculty and public volunteers who act out being diagnosed with cancer, hearing about a dead family member, etc. These sessions are filmed and reviewed.
The way I see it is that the students will learn interview and interpersonal skills over time, build up what they already have. But admissions wants the perfect talker first shot.

>>10799151
A surgeon would never do anything like that.

You realize I was talking about a sectiin of the MCAT right? It assesses deductive reasoning ability.

>>10800782
The last thing I want to do is defend any aspect of the med school admissions process, but I wonder if part of the reason is the increasing mental fragility of young people. The rates of anxiety and depression among undergrads has shot up in the last few years, and it makes sense for med schools to want to exclude students who are going to require full-time pastoral care to make it through and will still have time adapting to a high-stress profession. I'm a med student in my mid-30s, and it's incredible how many of the students who came straight out of undergrad are either total nutjobs or so sheltered an insecurely narcissistic that they're completely incapable of interacting with patients like normal people.

Lol welcome to the rest of your medical career. There is always someone better than you. Just need to focus yourself on your shit and be proud of what you're doing. By getting into med school you're already quite above average.

>>10799797
GPA and MCAT are still the prime components of any application. You have to prove you can handle the academic rigor of medical training and standardized exams. Theres essentially yearly high stakes national standardized testing from start of med school to end of residency no matter what field you go into.

Had a bit too much to drink three weeks ago, and I woke up with my toe hurting. Hurt for a few days and could run and whatnot on it, but it doesn’t hurt anymore. Is there anything I should or shouldn’t be doing?
Also, how do you tell schools you’re stupid and put the wrong hours for something on your primary AMCAS? I severely underestimated my research hours, and I’m worried that’ll affect me when applying to research-focused schools.

>>10803497
If it doesn't hurt anymore just let it be and it will probably heal. No way there's a fracture or the sort because there's no bruising on the finger itself, just the nail. If it starts hurting again, try some diclofenac gel and you're good to go senpai.

It has been a rough few weeks, my father suffered a cardiac arrest and long story short he barely made it in the house to call 911. He survived with minimal heart damage and has an ICD already implanted.He was put on Sotalol, a non selective beta blocker with potassium blocker attributes. From what I have gathered it is a pretty heavy drug and causes severe side effects which my dad is currently having. My dads family has zero history of heart rhythm abnormalities and the doctor told us that they have no clue why he went into ventricular fib after they did some tests. We are currently looking into this drug, and it doesn't feel like the correct choice since they have not clue why he had the arrhythmia. Of course he is still taking it and I urged him to see another doctor if the side effects become too much. Any aspiring cardiologists have any input on this? My dad told me the side effects are getting to a point that he would rather take the chances of having another attack than take the drug he is on.

>>10798113
I'm becoming more interesting with natural factors that affect growth in people. Honestly, the idea of superhumans fascinates me.

How I would love to lock this anoninto a lead-lined chamber with a lump of uranium-238 inside for an hour or so. I would get someone to drag him out and watch as he starts puking and stumbling over his pathetic legs dizzily, finally losing consciousness. I would then take him to a comfortable bed and impersonate a doctor - putting him to rest, pretending to look after him and ensuring him that he would get better. As the days pass, the disgusting little goblin will get worse and worse, vomiting, shitting piping-hot bloody diarrhea and generally screaming in pain from his now burned and necrotic flesh, his internal organs failing and his chromosomes melting. But I would still lie to this festering imp and tell him it gets worse before it gets better. As he gets to his final stages of acute radiation poisoning, I will reveal that i lied to him the whole time and that he is going to die. The demonic pipsqueak starts bawling his beady eyes out as I let out a hearty laugh. He begs to be put out of his mercy, but I ignore his pathetic whines and start peeling his bubbling mottled skin from his tiny arms. The screams get louder and louder as I peel and peel, and I finally get some peace when I stuff the sticky, squelching flesh into his
mouth. I get a bucket of his own bloody diarrhoea and rub it into his raw, exposed flesh, and finally close the curtain, turn off the lights and exit the medical room forever - leaving this satanic little munchkin to expire.

How can one determine whether they would enjoy practicing medicine as a physician or if they would dislike it instead? It seems like a lot of the doctors I know are miserable and hate their profession. Many of them seemingly went into it for the wrong reasons and turned out bitter and spiteful.

>>10805029
That's what I'm doing my man. I'm just interested in medicine, we'll see how it turns out. Do it if there's nothing else you feel drawn to.

>>10805260
It's a tough decision to make, going into medicine. My first interest in it was because I found it biologically interesting, back in middle school. In med school I found out dealing with patients and their diseases to be very rewarding. I was led into surgery (in fact urology) by a relative; I even underwent a period in general surgery residency, but quit for a multitude of reasons. Right now I'm working as a GP and trying out psychiatry (sorta like an intern, I guess). The plan is going with that. I'm absolutelly fascinated with psychodamics.
This general frustration among colleagues is frequently because they probably frequently go into it for the wrong reaons - mainly, fiancial. Don't do medicine because of cash. Really, really don't. It's a very important aspect, surely, but it can't be the leading reason, You'll become bitter and spiteful thereby. It's consuming - and
specially so if you don't particularly like it

TL;dr: do you like studying how the human body works? Second: would you like dealing with illness as your routine?

How far into your education are you right now?

>>10805260

>The last thing I want to do is defend any aspect of the med school admissions process, but I wonder if part of the reason is the increasing mental fragility of young people.
It's a huge dilemma. Don't select for resilient people: get students who won't apply themselves enough. Select resilient people and make them struggle for the post: select competitive and obsessive students. There's a reason physicians (and post-first-year med students) lead as suicide victims and in sucide-ideation. There are several adaptive features that select us, but they can (and often do) turn out as maladaptive traits.

In short, this >>10805526

Why are Nuclear Medicine and Therapeutic Radiology (aka Radiation Oncology) separate residencies?

>>10805520
An older doctor told me he once made legitimate bingo cards out of gunners who would raise their hand all the time in class. He sold the cards to other students.

>>10803646
Yeah but they earn three times as much, money can make even something as painfully boring as derm interesting.

>>10805584
How is derm boring?

>>10805587
There are only three things a dermatologist will ever do. Steroid cream, skin biopsy, or "observation" (nothing). Spin the wheel to decide what you do because 99% of skin conditions are purely cosmetic and unimportant.

>>10805584
Sadly, they do more money and it's understandable considering the fact that they have to deal with venereal diseases (not most of the time, but they have cases).

>>10805595
Also this is true. I never understood why people take derm besides the spec paying good money. FM seems thousands times more interesting and can do fellowships for subspecs far more interesting than derm will ever be.

>>10805611
Because some people get tired of working long hours and just want an easy life with good pay and low risk. Derm provides this to an extent most specialties can't compete with, aside from ophto, but the latter being a surgical residency can be offputting.

>>10805615
>FM
>long working hours
Oh, forgot you guys are mostly from US. How is the lifestyle of a senpai physician that works in a private clinic?

>>10805611
If you have the good scores and you like the FM kind of practice (clinic, tons of patient interaction), you do derm for the permanent pay raise. The money is worth it to people even if they lose the variety in cases.

>>10805620
FM has long working hours in some euro countries as well. Romania is not representative of how things are in the whole of Europe
My FM doc easily breaks 70h/wk, he used to keep taking patients until 10PM

>>10805620
In the US you work as many or as few hours as you want once you finish residency. The difference between FM and other specialties is that there are few urgent/emergent situations that require you to work overnight as opposed to surgery, ICU etc. In any case, I'm sure whoever you were responding to was comparing derm to more rigorous fields than FM. You choose derm over FM for the MONEY.

>>10805626
>70hrs/week

>>10805642
Are you retarded? That's a lot for a clinical specialty in private practice.

>>10805615
FM isn't long hours unless you want it to be. Most are in private or small group practices and set their own hours.

>>10805677
>good pay
FM also doesn't fit this criteria.

>>10805670
That's why I'm laughing at it. It's huge. My mom works 45 hrs /week (5days/week, 8 hours) and lets the office open overnight for minor emergencies (there are nights when no one comes)

>>10805722
Which is why I said there's no European benchmark for FM hours. In my country, you can definitely choose to work 45h/wk, but your income will be very low by physician standards. My doc probably makes more than the average card or derm but he works like a fucking slave. FM here is not a lifestyle specialty at all.

>>10805595
Really? Dermatologists here do a lot of procedures, mostly cosmetic jobs for aging women with rich husbands who are desperately trying to maintain their looks, but also fun tropical skin diseases.

I tried a TPR FL around a month ago and got a 504 rushing through it in three hours.. I hear it’s pretty deflated.
Do you think it’s possible to get in the 515-520s if I study until September and take then? I’m planning to take the first AAMC FL in August

>>10805887
Share your experience ( give you even study med) about the branch. For sure their interests are likely to change along the way if they go into med, but no reason be a dick about it.

I saw this bullshit on /fit/ are they right or as retarded as I think they are?

>>10805965
I'd say most of the supplements are just downright bs. You get enough protein from a healthy diet, so no need to be gulping down all those protein shakes, just eat a banana, sandwich or something after workout.

The TRP tests tend to score a bit low, but going from slightly above average to well over 90th percentile is a huge jump. Doing that in two months would be impressive. The odds are heavily stacked against you, but if you have a high general test-taking aptitude and can study intensively and effectively for the entire time, you might be able to do it.

If you want to be successful at medicine, you need to stop fucking around and get serious about studying now. You cannot just show up and do things half-assed. If you can't do that, you'll never make it through med school even if you manage to get in.

>>10805965
Most animals can synthesize all the amino acids they need to build proteins. Humans can't, so we do need to get them from dietary sources. But >>10805973 is right, supplements are mostly bullshit. A healthy diet is adequate.

>>10805965
it's bullshit. I'm muscular and lean (not ripped but have a 6 pack) and I've been eating a vegan whole foods plant based diet for 3 years.

Quality whole foods are way more important than some magic ratio of macronutrients.


My protein is about 10-20% of calories and I've had no trouble with gains. It's a myth. Moderate and excess protein is bad for your kidneys among other things.

>>10801168
Nah, i don't plan on doing that. Neuroscience is my thing.

>>10805977
Truthfully I think it was more that the TPR test focused more on stuff that I was weak on.
It was the same when I was doing the Kaplan FLs — I would mostly get 128-129s but occasionally I would just have an off section and get 123-125 on it.

If I were to take the exam in September.. I was focusing mostly on P/S over the summer, but I think I’d switch to focusing more on general stuff and trying to fill any gaps in content that I have.
Thank for for your advice though, I appreciate you being honest, I know so many places they just always encourage people without being realistic.

Had ortho, was cool but not something that I'd see myself practice. I just hate the fact that the surgeons had to wear those lead costumes. The good thing is that precision is not as high as in other specs so if you want to hammer some nails in, be my guest, hit them as hard as you want, they will barely move anyway. Bone diseases were fine, fractures were boring. That sums up my whole ortho experience, nigger.

>>10806100
??? Even humans synthesise non essential amino acids you fucking mongrel. The rest of them you acquire by eating stuff with protein.

hey guys i bumped my leg last night being silly on ket, do you think it might be fractured? there's a fair lump there and it hurts a bit, pretty sensitive to touch etc but i can walk on it

>>10806100
Humans synthesize most of the amino acids m8. The ones we don’t are dietary protein.

From other amino acitd, though.

You are fine, even if there is a small fracture you have two lower leg bones, so as long as you're gentle with it for a couple weeks it will heal back stronger. Most likely though you don't have a fracture at all.

I'm tired all the time, my muscles feel weak. All my blood tests came back normal except that my SHBG is 110 nmol/L and my testosterone is 48 nmol/L. My GP says this is unusual but because both are high they cancel each other out. I feel like complete shit. What is wrong with me?

You can make proteins from intermediates of the glycolysis and the TCA cycle. Check the image I attached, you dipshit.

I mean if you really want you can specialize into cosmetics or mohs, but for the average derm doctor clinic day you're not lasering moles. What you do is what family med does, which is talk with tons of people, like 20-30 people every day and tell them to stop scratching their ass or to put sunscreen on.

>>10798113

Surgeons are useless. I wanted to be a surgeon until my third year clerkship. If anything happened pre or post op the patient got sent to medicine without fail.

"Oh that means the surgeons were trying to not waste their time"

Bullshit. They spend most of their time outside of theatre in the lounge bitching about their lives watching ESPN. They sent everything to medicine cause they had no fucking idea about what was going on and couldn't be bothered to figure out.

It's only outrageously well paid in America. Surgeons in Europe, except plastic and orthopods, are more often than not paid less than their medical counterparts.
Derm is also not a surgical specialty, nor are rad and card, and they're all very well paid

Went to a doctor with severe lower back pain, he said "yep that's a bulging disc but do an MRI anyway", I did and MRI doctor wrote that there are no pathological changes or bulging discs.
I still do feel pain though, it's bad when I bend over, worse when I bend back, the worst when I transition from bent over to bent back position, pain is sharp as if every time I change position I pinch a nerve.
I'll go to my doctor with in a few days, but in the meantime maybe someone want to check my scan and tell me if there is bulging disc or anything wrong?

>>10806823

because you dont have a disc problem. you have axial back pain friend. Likely facet or SIJ mediated. Do some core strengthening and lose some weight.

>>10806851
I'm actually recovering from malnutrition, so that makes sense. In addition to mentioned symptom my femurs hurt quite a bit when I stress them by walking or jumping on one leg so that really might be some connective tissue and joints failing.

youre depressed get of the internet and get a life or take some prozac

>>10806917
Prozac is poison.

Vaguest advice I can give is get some raw cacao, or chocolate liquor. Very different in content and activity, but both'll be a net benefit. Add some indian sarsaparilla (hemidesmus indicus) and bacopa monierri. Throw some guarana seed in. Dandelion root and leaf, burdock root, for liver health. You'll be good to go superficially and on your way otherwise. As far as fixing your underlying issues, which are probably both biological and psychological.

Get away from wireless devices of course. Studies going all the way back to the early 60's showing you could induce depression and hopelessness with microwave irradiation. The modern summation of which is honestly incontrovertible.

You're going to need be more specific.
(If this is legit go to an ER. The blood supply is cut off)

so i've been doing some research into neurotransmitters dopamine/ serotonin and such.
My question is, essentially the only reason people do anything is because of reward systems in the brain? like if we where to severely deplete those chemicals would people basically lie down and die of thirst? or is human existence/will/motivation more complex than that?

>>10807535
to my incredibly limited knowledge the reptillian brain is mostly just cholinergic, GABA, and glutamate.

If one could take a drug that reduced muscle damage due to exercise, would that promote or prevent hypertrophy?

I'm looking into sulforaphane for personal use and want to know if it would actually be detrimental. If the muscle is being damaged less potentially hypertrophy may be less correct?

For a very particular example:

>>10802058
and it makes sense for med schools to want to exclude students who are going to require full-time pastoral care

It really is this. You see, medicine is owner and operated the Church. Dont worry, we, the Church are totallt wholesome and clean, trust us.

But... well, you see, when someone steps out of line, well we label them a schizo and kil... I mean drug them... anyway we make it impossoble for anyone not of our flock to reproduce. This is humane. We call it bloodless genocide within the flock, since it happens intergenerationally that we exterminate the undesirables to our religion, which is wholesome and pure.

Now some, learn of this and have a problem with it, and so they require pastoral watch until we can be sure they do not require intergenerational extermination.

Its all very good and wholesome do you not agree?

Exactly. There are many against our wholesome and pure Roman Church medicine religion. Some, like Trump (who is a racist) think we need "transparent pricing" whatever that means, but no one complains about the Roman Churches medical pricing!!! And if anyone complains then they are a Schizo and we exterminate their bloodline! Everyone knows this! It is a good and wholesome system of intergeneration extermination and fraud. Everyone love it!

It's not yet universal practice. It's been common for a very long time. People who had children a year ago, from all over, will tell you that they clamped the umbilical cord before it was done. In some cases near immediately.

>>10808131
It's schizophrenic ramblings

>>10808136
Weird. The Philippines has been practicing the Essential Intrapartum Newborn Care since 2007 and widely adopted in 2009. This was just adopted from an even older WHO obstetrics module.

(1) immediate and thorough drying of the baby, (2) early-skin-to-skin contact between the mother and the newborn, (3) properly-timed cord clamping, and (4) non-separation of the mother and baby for early breastfeeding initiation

>>10808150
This is the US. The only reasonable conclusion looking at the whole constellation of incompetence, is that at the highest levels they maim us deliberately.

Also, there is no "timing" of cord clamping. Period. You leave it and let it do its thing, help it along in rare cases, and you do whatever you'll do when it's done. It tells you when it's done, not a stopwatch. They've trained the brains right out of us.

In the US IMGs are the bottom of the heap. Hell, even FMGs and DOs get treated better.

Unless you got prodigy level scores, publications, and research and/or the PD owes your family a huge fucking favor. You've got no chance at any competitive residency/location.

You may get a spot eventually in a primary care residency in an undesirable location but trust me they will treat you like dirt and will fire you for anything that a US senior wouldn't even get a stern lecture by the attending for.

I-i-s he right ?

>>10808410
Not really. On average IMGs do perform extremely poorly in the match compared to domestic students, but that's because the vast majority of IMGs are from poor quality Caribbean schools that accept poor quality students. IMGs who are graduates of reputable schools in developed countries tend to perform similar to lower-tier MD and high-tier DO grads. There is certainly a disadvantage to being an IMG, but it's not that extreme.

Anybody doing cardiology or heme/onc? I definitely, want to do some kind of medical specialty but I'm torn.

Ideally I want to stay in academics and heme/onc is both fascinating to me and is perfect for an academic career. But I also like cardiology the physiology is pretty cool and there's still a lot of work to be done in the field.

>>10809584

>>10809770
Some of these are good things and nobody is claiming that medicine is perfect it's always evolving

>>10809790
Indeed, we are. The lack of ferritin causes the neonate to suffer the toxicities of free iron and fenton reaction mediated autoxidation, further stunting its growth and neurological development.

Near as I can tell our current "medicine" is a mechanism of control from the central bankers, with Rockefeller as one prominent front. The real basis lies in the medical-chemical complex, its thinktanks and media affiliates, and its control of funding and the research apparatus. Naturally the educational institutions would be captured in short order, and they have. You see this in everything from economics, to medicine, even to chiropractic.

Recent Harvard someone or other concluded that less than 1% of cases are reported to VAERS.

Often suppress the immune system and don't even work. In many of these outbreaks it's mostly vaccinated people who contract the disease. They also shed and spread it to others.

Is a scientific fact that antibody levels drop to useless levels ~7 years after vaccination. That's why you receive boosters, they wear off.

And yet the child's IQ is lowered, and its brain myelination reduced. It has also been subjected to hypoxic damage.

You are better without them because it makes you less prideful. This is a good thing.

>>My dad told me the side effects are getting to a point that he would rather take the chances of having another attack than take the drug he is on.
>Yeah at this point you should contact his doctor or another one. The drug might be keeping him alive at the moment, but there is no need to worsen his quality of life this much.
>Surgical trainee trying to advise on the Rx of ventricular arrhythmias

Goddam, that's some bad advice.

This anon's Dad should NOT stop taking his antiarrhythmics. Yeah, the side effects might be pretty shitty but the alternative is that he gets more shocks from his device. Shocks fucking hurt and they drain the battery. Generator changes carry a 5% chance of infection so you need to be fucking careful to preserve the ICD. The risk/benefit/QoL exchange you propose is not nearly so straightforwards

If the side effects are bad then one can consider a change to something like amiodarone. Beta blockers or calcium channel blockers can also be used to try to suppress the ventricular arrhythmias.

I presume the anon's father had a cardiac MRI and a coronary angiogram. There is the possibility of an underlying channelopathy but the likelihood of this depends somewhat on one's age.

Is it bad for your health to eat only two meals a day in order to cut down on caloric intake?

>>10810636
No. Data supports eating two meals per day. I only really eat one, and feel fine.

>>10810654
Ok. I got told it could be bad for blood pressure so that's not true then?

There is plenty of evidence they are bad (iron directly, calcium by causing magnesium depletion) You should read the mental gymnastics when a longitudal study shows strong correlation between high calcium intake and osteoporosis, and the researcher feels the need to explain why it proves that so much calcium is actually good for your bones.

>>10810052
His dad should take magnesium. It causes the calcium chanel malfuntion and it cannot be measured in blood tests because blood levels are kept stable regardless of bodily reserves.

>>10810722
Exposure to pulsed microwave fields is responsible for the calcium channel malfunction as well. Elevated magnesium blocks calcium influx.

So is coffee good or bad for you?
