What's the best way to prepare for medical school (4 year graduate entry btw) if you have virtually no science background? Is it a good idea to spend a few months learning anatomy and stuff or just go straight in as a blank slate? I feel like I will be at a disadvantage compared to all the other people who did degrees in science.

Do not engage the clamp poster (https://pastebin.com/aYNv0zFc).).

Don't start discussing pro- and anti-vax shit because it degenerates and takes a lot of replies.

>What's the best spec for research?
Path, onc, anesthesia, etc.
>Best spec lifestyle wise?
Psych, ophtho, derm, rad onc, family medicine
>Best spec if I like technology?
Radiology, rad/onc, optho, ENT
>Will radiology be taken over by A.I?
No, please stop.

I did the grey NPC Wojak, I'm pretty sure I peaked in terms of world impact, which is pretty sad desu.

Why should I study anything else than medicine in a country where education is free and highly prestigious. I love STEM fields but I'm starting to doubt my decision, still in undergrad, could still make the switch, but I feel like my passion is either scientist or maybe engineer, I could see my talents as a practicing physician but I don't see myself in that environment at ALL(hospitals).
Lifestylewise it seems so much better.
Can you guys redpill me on the drawbacks of being a doctor?

>>11122016
I was in a similar position to you, I was a math major but did a first year subject in chemistry (not that it really helped). I wouldn't bother learning detailed anatomy, just enough that gives you a good overview of the organ systems. A similar overview in biochemistry, cell biology and immunology will also be helpful, e.g. don't bother learning all the pathways in detail, just their high-level function, concentrate on big picture stuff.
The gap between you and biomedical science students will quickly close, especially by clinical years.

>>11122892
If you become a scientist and want to participate in medical research, you will always be inferior to the physician-scientist, if you become an engineer and participate in biomedical engineering, you will be inferior to the physician-engineer. Just because you finish medical school doesn't mean you need to work in a hospital for the rest of your life, the pathways forward are very diverse and you will be in a privileged position to do what you want.

>>11122006
I've taken Zyprexa and Jews control the media.

>>11122892
Drawbacks are no mystery: relatively high stress, long hours and dealing with shitty people.

If you want to do some research you need to go to the academic route which means:
1) to be brilliant among people who are on average already pretty smart
2) network a lot as early as your second-third year

I don't think that the "lifestyle" is so much better compared to most STEM careers to be honest and the stats on mental illnesses, suicidd and addictions seem to agree with me.

Actually , anesthesia is pretty good considering the huge amount of polytrauma patients and the methods with microRNA sequences that take place during their suffering. You have a shit ton of research to do, so shut the fuck up, dumb nigger.

>>11122281
you have hole in brain

>>11124461
I would rather have my penis cut off with a rusty bread knife than step foot in research ever again

>>11124461
modern research in the medical field is horrible. You will never reach any real discoveries because you'll always have to settle for poor quality research with very vague conclusions that could mean anything just to keep your funding. Basically good research needs funding ad time but investors want good research but want no time. Ever wondered why there is research about the advantages of eating chocolate being published every other week?
Stick to being a doctor or whatever you work as, the idea of being a researcher is great but the reality of it is pure hell

>>11124642
>>11124676
Very sobering, thank you anons.

I'll have to adjust my plans somewhat. I think I can still reach my goal by being a biomedical engineer, just staying out of the whole research side of things.
It's a shame academia has devolved that way though.

Thanks again and godspeed.

So I was walking to uni today and I accidentally tripped and lost my balance. This resulted in me leaning against a fence and wounding my palm in the process.
It seemed like a pretty nasty puncture, but it didn't really hurt, just bled a little.
I put a plaster on, and when I got back home I cleaned it with water, soap and betadine and bandaged it with a gauze. Will I be fine?

>>11124676
This. Clinical practice all the way, more rewarding (if done correctly) and less occupational frustration

Are there fields of biology and biomed where being a PhD is preferred or equivalent to being an MD/PhD? I want to go into academia (or private R&D) in the life sciences but I already have an inferiority complex towards med students and wouldn't want this to be the case for my whole career.

I studied medicine, and I'm a Jew, and I suspect the top left Jew with the bloody mouth is representative of how the rabbis drink the child's blood after a circumcision, then they sell the circumsiced foreskin afterwards for stem cell research.
So if you read those news reports about those places you can get transfusions of teenagers blood and how historically the aristocracy were into all kinds of blood drinking stuff, right.
If you look up the Berzynski institute and the research he did into the difference between cancer and noncancer patient blood differences, the guy got anticancer results by injecting cancer patients with synthetic blood ingredients he was making.
So it's not that schizo to reference, also why else would you drink a child's blood?
So it's half /Pol/ half /sci/

so i'm a college junior who was planning on doing premed. my first year i mad mostly a's, a couple b's, but faced some mental health struggles the next year and had a mediocre first quarter that dropped my gpa to 3.4, then had to do a hardship withdrawal the next quarter, and THEN returned to school too soon the next quarter and wound up failing all of my classes out of negligence. took a quarter off to heal and reorient myself and looking to return this winter.

have i fucked myself beyond redemption for getting into a good med school? i've ran the numbers; if i literally never make anything lower than an a again i'll graduate with about a 3.7. is it still worth trying or what? will my withdrawn quarter count negatively towards my cgpa? even if i make it 100% from here on out, will those grades and withdraws make my application too ugly for acceptance anyway?

>>11127167
you really can't blame them, these are their patient and they will be the ones held responsible if you do a mistake and even approving you to work independently when they personally feel you're not ready will have a lot of consequences for them
You are at a teaching hospital, and like it or not they're just doing their job and a damn good one if they keep giving you a heads up about stuff you need to do before you do them so even if a student forgets they'll remmeber now
If you're already doing a great job, you don't need to change anything. They will notice your skill and you will gain their trust and will give you a little more freedom. However never expect to have 100% independance. Modern medecine is team work. The attendings and chiefs of medecine will always look over your cases even after you finish learning. You should appreciate any advice even if it won't change you. It's always a good reminder

Really autistic question--let's say I had minor bone loss in my jaw/condylar process from an accident. I am only 22 and apparently bone keeps growing until around 30. Could I not replace the bone on my mandible through whatever means because it might interfere with future bone growth? I'm talking MINOR loss

You coulf even become a doctor as long as you can memorize a shit ton of information. From my experience, you don't have to be smart to become a doctor, just really good memorization will do it.

Romanon here, I had the time of my life in pediatrics yesterday. So, just to make it clear, my group was combined with the English program group because their professor had some problems and couldn't attend.

My Prof is a child diabetes and endocrinology specialist and is a fierce motherfucker, that guy is all about discipline and knowledge (Communism left a huge mark on him apparently). The thing is that they knew our Prof was a Savage and when they presented themselves, it was kind of awkward and most of them were very tense.

The first case I had, the Prof put me and a pajeet girl to check on a 2 y/o with apparently what we thought was tonsillitis (and it was). Prof came in, told us what would we order first from the lab. Before I could say anything, this pajeet girl goes "BLOOD SUGAR!" Like an autistic child. I mean, I get it he's a diabetes specialist, but...the kid is nowhere near diabetes...the Prof sighed and looked at me, I bursted out laughing and ordered the labs instead.

Jokes on you i am a schizo doctor

Do you or do you not put hydrogen peroxide on wounds? My parents keep insisting that it's some kind of miracle substance, but I'm not so sure about that. It sounds like borderline folk medicine.

>>11130430
It's mainly used for wound debridement, removing dried up blood, etc. Basically you use peroxide instead of water to clean the immediate area then apply whatever ointment or alcohol u wanna use. It also kills staphylococcus aureus(i think, I forget) which is the normal skin bacteria.

>>11130305

>>11133609
Sounds like flu but go check out your throat/tonsils in the mirror

>>11133172
It does but it's negligible

>>11133172
it does leave a bit of air inside but most is drained, anyway pneumoperitoneum isnt a problem per se, it's just usually an indicator of viscera perforation, which is life threatening but not because of the air

>>11133609
Visit your GP. For now, I'd take care of the symptoms, warm drinks with something like Fervex in it, strepsils, nasal spray and ibuprofen for the headache. It's most likely a cold gone bad so I wouldn't worry too much about it but check with the GP since we're not able to properly consult you (rales or no rales, check your ears and stuff like that.)

>>11133637
Throat is pale and tonsil looks small.
I had a similar problem with my tonsil this spring but it was way larger. My doctor didn't seem concerned with it. Maybe that part is just me being an anxious freak.

Can i get some doctor Apu pics? The finn producing those is based.

>>11133646
>>11133706
Does the air get absorbed? By which mechanism?

>>11133894
I knew CO2 gets absorbed, because it creates issues for anesthesia; but had to google that one and seems like air and oxygen doesn't get absorbed by the peritoneum, maybe someone will correct me

>>11133894
small quantity of air get absorbed, they dissolve in the bloodstream, bond to proteins, etc. i don't think it's impossible that if there is an injured blood vessel with presence of air you can get embolism but after a surgery usually everything is repaired
probably works like subcutaneous emphysema or surgical emphysema, i don't know the specific channels that mediate the reabsorbtion if you asked that
remember that after those surgeries you place a drenage to take out air and fluids so very little remains inside

>>11133900
>>11133944
Interesting. Theres nothing on mechanisms on internet too sadly.

That's not things doctors are taught to treat.
Your best bet is to replace highly arousing stimuli (videos, games, internet browsing, drugs) with less arousing ones (reading, writing, going for a walk, doing nothing, etc...) and control the urge and boredom until your limbic system adjusts.

>>11133980
>will I be able to get high off my own supply
wdym? usually when someone's got a serious drug history he's more resistant to our stuff and we have to use higher doses than normal people

>>11134038
Anesthesia is a sedative so i'm assuming theres some sort of europhoric feeling involved when its getting administered to you so I was wondering if any anesthesiologist has ever administered it to himself for europhia without any knowing. But I'm guessing the better way would be to go into pharmacy and intentionally contaminate(drop on the floor)drugs so you can keep them for yourself instead of trashing them

>>11130430
At the end of the day hydrogen peroxide is an acid that can cut through flesh like a its nothing.
On a fresh wound in high enough concentration will cause the wound not to heal.
That said a percentage of 1% to 3% is viable way to disinfect wounds and I even read somewhere than 1% solution helps angiogenesis.

>>11134011

Thank you for your reply.

>That's not things doctors are taught to treat

Then who tho ?

>>11134111
psychologists

>>11134073
Oh, misread your comment then

I don't think anaesthetics(hypnotics) like propofol by themselves give that much of a high, you just fall asleep too quick, and upon waking up they seem more confused rather than euphoric, but I haven't tried myself

We do have a bunch of opiates and benzos, but it's tightly controlled. Don't know how it works in America, but in my country both the physician and the nurse have to sign for each vial used, so you'd need to have at least one more person in on it if you want to take some for yourself.

I not sure where to ask this other then directly calling up a university that were doing these studies.

So I was looking up Teenage drinking leading to permanent brain damage articles but they don't say how much drinking specifically the patients were doing, not even a example it's always

"repeated heavy drinking" or "Binge drinking" how much is that?, 4 + standard drinks every weekend?, 4+ standard drinks every third day?.

Anyone know where I could find a answer?

schizophrenic here

fuck you faggot doctors for keeping us alive just so you can make money booking 5 minute med check appointments every month. along the amount of money we make for big pharma. psych patients are the medical industry's cash cow. fuck you. doctor's originally lobbies to de-institutionalize us too. so we all end up on the streets or in prison.

Back in highschool a friend of mine cut himself while fucking around in our dorm. I offered to try to patch him up (I was WFR certified at the time), but there was tissue protruding from the wound and preventing it from closing. I tried to stop the bleeding for about half an hour before deciding we needed to get someone more qualified. I don't remember if he ended up in the ER, but he was fine the next day. What was sticking out of his wound, why did it start protruding, and what would be the correct approach to fixing it?
Patient was a 19 yo male, 6'2", ~170lb

Like I said in the previous post, only about 1/4 inch deep (~6.5mm). He had no impaired movement, and didn't receive stitches. The tissue sticking out looked like a wad of gum, except grey and soft.

Why does it fucking matter lmao, men make better nurses in my opinion because they don’t play stupid catty games with pts and coworkers and they don’t think they’re special geniuses for having an AS or BS. Women who make it as doctors tend to be a lot smarter than other women too

>>11137966
>Women who make it as doctors tend to be a lot smarter than other women too
Wow, what a perceptive fucking statement. Women who can do math and science, complete undergraduate degrees, excel on exams, do research, and make it through med school are smarter than the average woman. Never would have guessed.
Hey, you think male doctors smarter than the average man?

Can some dr. Burger explain why the fuck is studying medicine in the US so convoluted? In my country you just graduate high school at 18, pick Medicine in college and do 6-5 years, do 1 year of governtment regulated internship, take the residency test, do whatever long it takes, and that's it, you are a done unless you want to do sub sub specialties or shit.

hi please help me I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck. I got it checkout out months ago and they said it was probably just reacting to infection. It seemed to get smaller so I forgot about it but now it seems like it is bigger again. Also the other side kind of feels like it is swollen. I was also wondering if maybe acne could cause this? I have had an increase in acne more than I ever had as a teenager. I think it could be because of stress I am not gonna lie I am not doing well mentally people sometimes mistake me as a schizo but trust me I am not one of those. I am not in treatment though because I don't trust psychiatrists.

so I am starting psychiatric drugs like pramipexole to see if it can help with my brain problems and erectile dysfunction

You cant wear anything that isnt sterile hospital clothing in the operating room and those are basically a single layer of paper. After 7h like that, i would like to see you.

>>11142360
So wear several then you dumb cunt. Bet you 90% of the other staff who aren't sedentary little bitches like yourself have zero issues. I bet you complain when you have to wear led gowns as well.

Fuck how not to get overwhelmed with remembering patient info?

>>11142360
wtf. I wore a polar vest and nobody said anything. I was pretty far from the sterile field but it was laparoscopy but still...it's the operating room. As the other anon said, wear more scrubs or buy yourself and underscrub that you wear only in the OR. Shouldn't be too hard.

>>11142429
Easy. Don't learn them by their name, just by the disease they have. Only memorize their name if you have patients with the same pathology. Always write down in a pocket notebook their initials and whatever lab findings you think are interesting or will help you with the case then when you're finished, rip out the page to not violate HIPPA

So I was about 2 weeks into my ICU rotation when I started getting flu symptoms. Went to my doctor and she took my temperature (90 degrees), listened to my chest, looked at my throat and told me I probably have influenza and took a nasal swab. Did she do enough tests here to make that judgement? She seemed pretty freaked out and told me to stay the fuck away from the hospital I'm working at and asked if I had any family or friends to look after me.

I'm just a bit confused because I had my flu shot about 6 months ago and I don't really feel THAT bad aside from the cough and the excessive sweating, but the doc seemed to think I was barely staying upright.

>>11142444

I assume the esophagus is fucked up too. Base or acid substance?

I was diagnosed with hemiparesis when I was a child, and I went to a resort for a few weeks every summer, at the behest of my physician, to treat the weakness in my right arm and leg.
There, they put paraffin on my limbs, and I also underwent electrostimulation, "laser therapy" (i.e they shone an LED light on my leg), and "magnetodiaflux" (wherein I spent 10-15 minutes every day in pic related). Now, none of this shit helped and I still walk with a slight limp to this day. The question is: was any of that legit medical practice, or just quackery?

>>11142465

The esophagus has strictures but swallowing is still possible. She ingested about a glass of toilet cleaner with muriatic acid a year and a month ago. Arrived in the ER maybe around 30 minutes to an hour after ingestion.

Is brain damage the cause of my erectile dysfunction?

Some background info I am 21 years old my testosterone result was 911 ng/dL, I was prescribed cialis 5mg daily the maximum dose.

I told my doctor and he said he suspects a neurological cause because I am diagnosed with memory problems and autonomic dysfunction.

I am looking into psychiatric drugs for the severe depression which is also a result of brain damage, I just started pramipexole which is being investigated as a treatment for sexual dysfunction and treatment resistant depression.

Multiple neurologists told me I have a rare neurological disease and it will never be diagnosed so I should give up.

It is standard of care in PT/OT for post-CVA rehabilitation with hemiparesis. When there is no voluntary motor control it might be the only way to get muscles to contract, and hopeful to build the bridges and connections to eventually regain some level of mental control over movement.

That said, a lot should depend on your patient. You generally want the maximum possible effort out of them. Actual active exercises of the target muscle group would be optimal since you also get blood flow to the area and assistance from nearby muscles and structures, not to mention neuromuscular connections. If we are talking a 0/5 or 1/5 muscle strength then passive range-of-motion exercises along with stimulation could be a consideration. Just keep expectations in check. This could potentially slow wasting, but as long as they have muscle groups which aren't really getting any active work, they will still most likely be in a trajectory of progressive decline of function.

basically completely remove anything that gives you such impulses from your life, distance yourself from it as much as possible, when you can't help but come across it then just pretend the awkward boner does not exist and do not act on it in any way, and especially don't in any way associate sexual acts like for example where your thoughts during masturbation go with it

Any dentists here? I have a few questions. I have some tartar, got it years ago when I was a teen and not brushing every day. How bad is it that I still have it? It hasn't expanded any more than I can tell, I brush twice and floss/mouthwash once a day. I do drink coffee though and my teeth are yellow as a result. I grind in my sleep too, to the point that my lower molars are concave from my uppers wearing them down. If I get a mouthguard and maybe switch my coffee for unsweetened black tea, should my teeth be fine? I don't have any pain or aches but I worry about them constantly. Also, is it normal for you to be able to wiggle your teeth the tiniest bit? They're pretty solid but if I grip one of my bottom front teeth I can feel it move by a microscopic amount. Is that just normal give or what?
