Hey fellas,
I'm a nursing student, and I'm aware that just by going the nursing route I'm going to have a lot less knowledge than someone who goes to medical school and pursues and MD

How would I go about at least getting the working verbal knowledge attained in medical school? Textbooks, subjects I should focus on, etc?

My thinking is that I should utilize medical school textbooks on things like anatomy and physiology, pathology, etc. which tend to be more detailed than the ones used in nursing school, and study what would be needed to get a bachelor's degree in something like biochemistry.

Is there anything else I should do? Is this even realistically attainable? Any decent lecture or general video series I should be aware of?

It depends, doctors spend their day dealing with pathology and therapeutics.

But you need to already master anatomy, symptomatology, physiology and know about the basis in microbiology (which is already a shitton of knowledge worth 3 years of full time med school) before learning these things.

Faire des annales est important car les questions sont stéréotypées, c'est toujours les même notions qui sont testées de la même façon et ça te permet de voir tes points faibles de manière objective.

C'est le conseil qui ressort le plus, en effet. J'arrive juste pas à caser de créneau. Si j'ai 2 cours dans la journée ça me prend 5h de les revoir chez moi, et après je dois passer au moins 1h00-1h30 sur l'apprentissage régulier de l'UE de par cœur (au mot pour mot). Si en plus il y a des TD, c'est impossible de trouver un moment pour faire des annales.

Les détails les plus importants te seront demandés dans les QCM de toute façon si t'en fais suffisamment.
En plus comme je t'ai déjà dit les questions sont stéréotypées, à force d'en faire tu seras acclimaté aux formulations, aux pièges, aux notions ciblées et à y optimiser tes chances quand tu devras y aller au pif.

Pre med with my EMT-B here. EMT prep on youtube will help pass your NIEMT practical test. You will have to attend classes periodically to maintain your certifcation. I believe its 2 years to renew your NREMT, and in my state its 5 years before I need to renew my state license. depending on the courses you choose you'll either learn the latest and greatest techniques, or just skim by enough to keep your license. If you want to become an MD/PA/RN eventually, getting your medic is really just a waste of time, it might help a little but it'll more likely end up wasting a year and a half of your life. What really matters is patient contact and deciding if healthcare is truly your calling.For nurse vs medic, RN allows you to progress further education and salary wise, but for some nothing beats being out in the streets.In my area a Fire/Medic can easily pull 90k+ salary in 5 years, the hiring process is very selective though. Finally equipment wise, Leatherman Raptor trauma shears are fantastic and much more durable than your standard shears I love using mine.

Italy here. Despite massive bottleneck at the entrance of med school, there's 2,5 students competing for each residency slot. If you take away the shit residencies like clinical pathology and radiation therapy, it's even harder, and if you want a barely decent residency (cardio, dermato, plastic surgery, something which allows you to live fine in this fucked up country) in a decent city (because you know Italy is africa past Rome) it's almost 10 persons for 1 slot.

Bicuspid valve and prolapsed mitral are literally the most common shit out there, they will NEVER give you serious issues except for superimposed stenosis/regurgitation.

Hello /med/chads. I'm not in /med/ education, but would like to learn a bit about neurology and about the human brain.
First of, I really want to avoid popsci bullshit.
I would appreciate a good sauce, which covers both the technical biochemical principals that enable communication between neurons and the architecture of the CNS as a whole, ie. the different regions of the brain and their role, etc.
I'm totaly down to dedicating plenty of time to first learn some chemistry or other prerequisities as long as it enables me to learn something interesting and not just popsci simplification.
Thought this would be the place to ask, thanks in advance.

My dad was recently diagnosed with sepsis, landed himself in the hospital for damn near 5 days. He just came back and is recovering, given 4 weeks worth of antibiotics.
He doesn't English, so I need to figure out what his recovery symptoms are so he can explain them to his doctor.
At night, he has hot and cold flashes.
There's also a region that feels very hot in his left lung. Around the area highlighted in picture. I don't know what this is.

2. Studying pancrea development (with e.g. single cell transcriptomics and other tools) with the ultimate goal of producing hESC derived beta cells for implantation in diabetes patients.

Many reasons, mostly bad planning in the last 20 years or so.

In Italy everyone wants to get into med school because any other degree is inflated asf and engineering is too hard for the average person. The number of people getting in has been exceeding the number of residency contracts for the last 10 years or so, and now it's literally a decade too late lmfao

imagine you walk down the street and a guy suddenly drops unconciouss. cause is Vfib (but of course you don’t know this.) it makes sense that you should attempt CPR before ambulance arrives so you might at least give the body some mechanical blood circulation and oxygen, before ambulance crew is able to defibrilate.
