I was curious about the methodology and comparisons of this. The chart you lifted off /pol/ or a similar source (the oldest source I can find by google search is this https://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/1c8tq8/hey_guys_someone_posted_these_stats_posted_on/ ) is, as things from there often are.

Statistically significant differences are not from "married parents", they are from "intact biological family" - that means, they haven't experienced any form of divorce. There are obvious reasons that this is not an accurate comparison by itself, which the author of the cited study himself admits. Most importantly, children of non-heterosexual parents are more likely to have endured a divorce or come from a single parent family. Accordingly, when in his actual chart we see the comparisons with children who have step families, we find most of the statistically significant differences are in fact also statistically significant for children of divorce who have step-families and single parents, a confounder which the study does not account for (as it is outside of its scope).

The author rightly says that previous studies look at an ideal situation, which is planned gay or lesbian families, and conclude there is no difference—of course, they're planned! Why does he not seek to discern between planned and unplanned gay families? In his own words: "While it is certainly accurate to affirm that sexual orientation or parental sexual behavior need have nothing to do with the ability to be a good, effective parent, the data evaluated herein using population-based estimates drawn from a large, nationally-representative sample of young Americans suggest that it may affect the reality of family experiences among a significant number"

In other words, the purpose of his study is to see what the reality of the differences between straight and heterosexual families are and not to ascertain whether gays can raise children, as your misleading table would seem to imply.

Is the best psychiatry can do when it comes to understanding and diagnosing patients, what the patient says their subjective experience is?

Do psychiatrists 'understand' mental diseases to the same degree a internal physician can spot a disease by looking at charts, and they understand almost everything about it?

>>12153324
Both psychiatry and psychology are a joke. Few people take the field seriously and for good reason.

>>12153324

Neuroscience is the facts and psychology is the concept. You can't have one without the other or else youll Dx people like a nurseoid

What is worse? weed or alcohol

Neuroscience is modern day phrenology. Psychology is a tool for businesses and advertisers. Psychiatry is its own field, always has been.

>>12153324
If a mental disease could be easily spotted it would be the job of the internist to treat it. Psychiatry is there to try and treat that which cannot be understood with our current tools.

>>12154023

>>12154034
You have a personal problem, you go to the psych and talk it out. Tell me how the fuck do you shoehorn science into this? If anything psychs are giving away drugs for the shift in paradigms to Evidence Based bullshit which is unable to measure people's feelings and qualia.

Neuroscience is a bunch of delusional zoomers thinking they can upload their soul into ones and zeroes and play with brains to justify funding without regarding the practicality of the technology it intends to create.

Psychiatry is still a bunch of hippies who think you go crazy because you don't have enough sex. Their only relevant applications are those regarding how to make people like products more or fool people into buying shit they don't need.

First one I've had in 5 years I almost had one 6 months ago but I can resist the electric shocks if I catch it fast enough. I've had an EEG showed nothing.

God why do nurses suck. I came out of anesthesia after an upper endoscopy and right away some angry old nurse gave me a rant about taking my medicine. I was all dazed after my endoscopy and drifting off so I wasn’t really paying attention and she asked me if I had adhd lmao. Fuck nurses

>>12158282
Some are nice, some are just bitter, overworked, underappreciated and entitled. Like all professions don't judge (unless they are radiologists who of course do have sexual relations with animals and have poor people skills).

It occurred to me that my peptic ulcer might be relevant. A stomach ulcer can cause deficiencies in b1 b2 b6 b12 c and folate -- water soluble vitamins. Come to think of it my muscle weakness began presenting within about 8 months of first presentation of the ulcer -- little things like it felt weird to jog and I could no longer perform the routine muscle up to get to the store as at that time used to be easy -- and didn't come to completion until the beginning of this year. So it's pretty much for sure a vitamin issue at this point.

What are the chances that after I resolve this vitamin issue, that I will return to normal. Will any lesions/scar tissue/masses likely be left behind that would prevent function from being fully restored with stem cells?

>>12165905
Assuming you aren't trolling, have you even taken the chemistry and biology pre-reqs?

>>12165766
The average person accepted to a U.S. medschool has a GPA over 1 point above yours.

At your current GPA you have about a 5.3% chance of acceptance (see pic related) which can go up to a 25ish% chance if you do a stellar job on the MCAT and sharpen up your application in many other difficult and time-consuming ways.

Look within yourself and ask whether despite your 2.5 gpa you can turn your career around now and whether you're willing to stake thousands of dollars on that chance.

>>12166035
To expand upon this, even if you applied to DO school you'd be an extremely uncompetitive applicant with around a 10% chance at your current GPA. The only place which might even consider taking you as a student is a Caribbean school and a Caribbean school is a diploma mill from which only the most endeavoring and crafty sociopaths can emerge with a degree and a residency position and from which the rest come out with no placement, potentially no degree and a multi-hundred-thousand-dollar debt.

If you want to work in healthcare, do something else and don't waste your money. If you want to make money, go into business. It's NOT worth it

>>12166034
i'm not trolling and no i haven't taken any prereqs except for psychology which i took as an elective and got an A on with zero effort. actually i did get B- on chem 101 in my freshman semester also, again zero effort. no other bio or chem courses on my record.

>>12166117
consider that the 25% is a best case scenario if you perform at a level in which you didn't perform during your undergrad. And I'd wager that cohort of people with very low GPAs and very good MCAT also did everything you did, yet 75% got nowhere with it and had to deal with debt and wages lost.

If there's nothing that will stop you from potentially throwing away many years of your life on a failed endeavor, at least consider DO schools. The pay-gap between DO and MD for the same specialties is not very large for a given specialty, and even though you will still be a very long shot, your chances will be better as a DO applicant and you will throw a lot less money into the furnace of medschool admissions.

>>12166150
If you're not a permanent resident or U.S. citizen your chances are even lower of scoring a spot in a U.S. medschool. Most schools in the U.S. receive some sort of state or federal subsidies but only for students from the state/country, so they don't want internationals unless they are truly exceptional cases

>>12167074
I've heard admissions committee members call them "4.0 automatons" on SDN. If you act like you're on the spectrum or like you just wanna make money in the medical school interview, or if you apply with JUST those scores and no extracurriculars or research because you thought the scores by themselves show you're a choosy applicant, those scores won't avail you.

>>12167611
yeah, you rigth

>>12167661
That was GPA by applicant, and as you can tell the bar is set higher for the foreigners

>>12167738
If you already have an undergraduate degree and pre-reqs that's about the standard for an applicant. If you need to start from scratch, it's been done and is far from impossible, but bear in mind it's gonna take at least 4 years of taking prereqs and getting a bachelor's degree and acceptance is not guaranteed after that. Assuming a 3 year residency you'd also have 11 years to go before you have a good salary

oh shit same. 2016 was the best year of my life, and it's not even close.

What would cause adrenal spurts/spasms that last for minute or two and are infrequent/happen maybe twice a year? When they do happen, everything seems intense, like it's yelling at me. The most mundane of things seem almost menacing.

It's happened all my life, and was scary at first but now I'm sort of just like "hmf, it's another one of -these- episodes; it'll be gone in a minute. Hey I wonder what [song] will sound like while I'm like this." I'm sort of just assuming it's a spastic adrenaline thing.

CV neurosurgeon again. Please don’t come up with shit about endovascular, to talk about coiling nowadays is like talking about Nokia cellphones...
But to be fair, clearly you cannot even compare the learning curve of EVT with microneurosurgery (“open” vascular for the non-medical community)
This may be interesting to discuss, but at least in my area of knowledge, there is a huge gap between finishing your residency and fellowship (first years of real “specialist” work) and being a well known, 10-year specialist.
Basically, I’m again, in an intermediate developmental stage as a specialist.
And for the anon who claimed that we don’t care for people, who really does?

>i'm a sociopath therefore everyone else is too
Shut up faggot.

>>12169038
when I was 13 back in 2010 I lived with a relative and his wife in South Carolina who was doing his neurosurgery residency because my parents sent me away as I was a problem child. He was such a pompous insufferable faggot. God complex, pretty sure either a psychopath or just autistic. Every time him and his wife would be out I would fuck with his food. Including but not limited to....

>masturbating in the cookie dough
>putting the washed fruits up against my cock
>gliding leftover pizza up against my ass crack

>licking donuts
>a few drops of piss in the mayo

How does this make you feel?

>>12169038
What are some routine procedures that you do?

Contrary to what people who aren't in medicine might think, neurosurgery isn't very competitive or difficult at all to get into. It's not even very difficult to perform.
You just require a lot of people and equipment and it's also very time consuming. Basically it's just gated by the time investment you have to put into, not by skill.
The individual achievement of the surgeon isn't very high.

Other specialties are way more competitive, due to their nature relying more on the individual surgeons skill.

Is an MPH a meme? I'm trying to find a backup plan to use my GI bill in case Im not accepted into med school. BLS shows it's growing faster than average but I'm sure many are trying to go into that field now too

Neuro again: for the pathological masturbator, basically the only thing I can tell you is that after passing through Med school, nothing related to human nature surprises me anymore, so that’s why I don’t trust no one. I wouldn’t have received you in my home, never.
The basic procedures a neurosurgeon performs depends on the setting of work: on call (general), vascular or programed cases. The usual Basic emergencies we deal with are trauma (evacuation of clots mainly), hydrocephalus (put or change shunts), or vascular: ruptured aneurysms (dealt with Endovascular coiling mostly, or surgical clipping) and spontaneous bleeding of other causes, usually treated also with surgical evacuation or decompressive craniectomy. The real deal are our programmed cases, which will vary greatly among sub specialties.
Finally, to answer to the skeptical anon: Some sub specialties from neurosurgery Actually do depend heavily on technology, and less on surgical skill (functional NS, minimally invasive NS), however, the opposite is also true: a microsurgical Intracranial bypass or the micro surgical excision of a petroclival meningioma, in my opinion, are probably examples of one of the most manually and mentally difficult things a human being can perform. So please, if you are a undergrad, stop with those pathetic remarks.
Glad to answer more about our not so popular field!

>>12169623
>Glad to answer more about our not so popular field!
1) Did you enter the field so you can call yourself a neurosurgeon, and so the next time someone says "it's not brain surgery," you can be expected to chime in, "ahem... I concur."
2) How often do you say "concur"?
3) Did you become a doctor, if not to save patients, because, like retard-anon as he shall henceforth be known, you believe in the fallacy that you can med-school the stupid away?

What to do about OCD? Got the magical thinking type, no meds btw.

>>12169953
You can find some meds that will stunt your thinking in general, or my advice as someone who had moderate to severe ocd... find a way to stop giving a shit. You feel like if you don't do some thing successfully, the world will end. The only non-medical solution is to somehow convince yourself "so the fuck what?"

>>12169953
Stop caring about it. Anytime your mind conjures up a scenario of dread and agony, think "so what?" No matter how incessant it gets, even if it seems like the obsessive thoughts will stay with you forever, you should still nevertheless maintain an indifferent attitude towards your obsessive thoughts. Once you accept that you can do this, it will only be a matter of time before it heals. You have to understand that the negative reaction towards your obsessions and compulsions and the dread surrounding them are what are reinforcing and strengthening your obsessive thoughts and compulsions, once you get rid of that, the ocd will die off on its own. No experience with meds, but my intuition says that they can't be good, I would avoid them at all cost.
>t. extensive family history of anxiety and ocd

First and foremost, fuck premeds.

That's exactly it, even now replying to your post is hard. I've been able to do it but I get one, one delusion and it's back to the cycle.

How long did it take anon?

>>12170090
>one delusion and it's back to the cycle.
Just wait until someone gives you the idea that your rituals don't work, i.e. once you complete them, did you really? Better do it again to be sure :^)

>>12170102
what? I already do that, I've got a cheat system for it

>>12170106
Like in those movies or michael j fox on scrubs' they're portrayed as doing shit like turning the water on three times presumably to make sure it's on or something, and somehow that ritual is sufficient to convince them they successfully turned the water on. I guess I just assumed that's how most newfag OCD people actually are, with rituals that just work. For me, it's not being sure if anything I do works, ever., as long as I cared anyway.

>>12170090
>No matter what I just don't have to listen and I know this, I keep failing.
Stop caring about failing as well. Make sure you don't set up another cycle for yourself as well by trying to convince yourself not to fail. Just take it easy and ask yourself "so what if I fail?"
>How long did it take anon?
I've had it on and off since childhood but its never persisted at a single time period for more than 3-4 months. I'm lucky because my mother already knows all about it because of the family history I mentioned and knew what words to tell me to quell it while it was still early. Had a friend who had it for 2-3 years and attempted suicide, but he also stopped caring eventually and it subsided for him for the most part, though it still comes on and off in waves. Don't think about the timespan needed, its inevitable that you'll be cured if you stop caring. Do you smoke weed or take any type of psychedelic? It exacerbates things heavily, stop if you do.

A good beginner's exercise would be to look at this faggot's post >>12170102 and just disregard it. Disregard any fear, any discomfort or compulsion by not caring and asking yourself "so what?" Try to look at the dread and fear as ridiculous, a complete laughing matter, because that's what it is when it comes down to it. Expose yourself as much as you can to situations and sensations that trigger your ocd and slowly disarm the danger by not caring or having concern for it anymore. If you're scared of self-harming, hold a knife to your skin, for example. If you're scared of suddenly screaming in public, put yourself in public as much as you can. Its proven that all these ridiculous fears are based on nothing. Literally never will your thoughts take over and make you actually cut yourself, or scream in public, and so on, its just a ridiculous fear. Learn to take it in stride. One day it will seem ridiculous to you that you actually took all your ocd thoughts seriously, that's how it is now for me.

>>12170005
Realistically because of the state of things and that I won’t be graduating until the Spring, the earliest I would probably get into med school is 27. Is that too old? I hate the term but non traditional applicant is the umbrella I would fall under.

Thanks anon, I've had it since childhood as well, although ypur periods are short, I get a one year or half year mania and it's hell, as of lately though, it just changes fear, refusing to leave but yeah I ignored that post and it's all ok.

Besides, don't know where you live or how it exactly is in the US. But elsewhere in the world "med school" doesn't exist, it's a full degree like any other which takes 7 or 8 years to finish. In the US you can't practice without a specialty, which that means at least 3 years of training and about 2 years of USMLE preparation if you live there, if you're a foreigner it's almost impossible to get in unless you're rich and lobby with the topdogs.

>>12172730
Yes. At 27 I'm already feeling to old to do a full 4 year spec. Can't imagine what'd be like at 33/34.
You can try it, there isn't a reason not to. The thing is that you also have to take into account your wishes to start a family, becoming independent and reaching financial freedom while at the same time saving for your retirement.
A doctor's life is stressful as fuck and will age you like no other profession, no matter how much you tell others you enjoy it.

Why is this an issue for most people? Just don't fucking burn money and you'll stay alive.

Also tell him how romantized the job is, you'll have to do night shifts regularly that will probably take a toll in your lifespan, you'll practically live in hospitals and become colonized by the nastiest shit for which antibiotics don't even exist to fuck you up when you're old. You won't meet people outside of colleagues so if it's a sausagefest you won't be able to start a family, or if you brush someone off the wrong way your whole stay will be a nightmare. You'll also have to deal with people of all kinds, not only patients but bureaucrats too, don't know how well you are at that.

Yeahhhhh nah, don’t listen to this dumbass op. Wait until society is not on the verge of civil war and not completely diseased before pumping babies out with some broad. My dad fathered me when he was 41. There is nothing wrong with it. It’s a problem if you are female because of the biological clock. If you are a guy and keep yourself healthy having a kid in your 40s is perfectly fine. I have never seen such nonsense. Telling someone not to advance their education and have kids at probably the worst time since the Great Depression. God damn you are either a troll or seriously dumb.

with all of the advances in technology and COVID going on why can't I do some sort of broad spectrum blood test at home?

Automated response? I'm in an ok position in life. I have much malice for doctors because they nearly ruined my life, something they do to their patients often without much concern. And I especially hate them now for peddling the corona scam, shilling their cuck muzzle masks, and felatiating the government's cock in general. Doctors are too up their own assholes to have a shred of self-awareness though, so the easier, more efficient solution of public execution should be enacted upon them.

>autistic ramblings about muh medical degree!
Heard all this shit before. Shut the fuck up retard.

>>12174089
Hahaha imagine being this guy. Totally delusional, disconnected from reality and low IQ. So is the pandemic a mass conspiracy between the health authorities in every country on Earth? What did your psychiatrist diagnose you with?

>>12174089
so doctors almost ruined your life? I think you officially ruined it on your own lmao. How does it feel to know that I am a 5’9 manlet Azn with a 6.5 inch dick and my gf is also in residency like me and we are going to have babies in a few years and a combined income of 700-800k? Does it enrage you? I will make sure to cum inside her tomorrow while thinking about u. Lmao fuckin incel loser.

I'm not a doctor but yes. That looks fucked.

Why are surgeons the most respected and looked-up to of all medical professionals? Are they superior in intelligence, training, and skills to regular doctors or is it just because operations can dramatically improve someone's health whereas taking drugs work slowly if at all?

>Take your schizo meds
There's more than 1,000 hits of this phrase in these threads alone.
>h-how does he keep spotting me
Think of a different juvenile insult, idiot.
>You are not a medical student, resident or practicing physician
Neither are you.

>Take meds

thought on psychiatry ?
to they just throw some stimulant and antidepressants and see what stick ?

>>12175513
Take the correct dose, fag lmao.

>>12174094
The only mass conspiracy is that all the governments saw this as the perfect opportunity to pocket money, so they promoted ineffective measures like "Flattening the curve" so they could jump into the mask selling venue.

Why do you think the WHO never named the disease its proper name of SARS-2 and kept downplaying its threat until trucks of corpses were piling up in the streets? Why do you think they never urged all the airlines in the world to stop air traffic for one month until the virus went away? Why do you think they never gave a guideline to make effective homemade masks when the massive shortage was foretold by anyone with 3 fingers of forehead?

>>12175749
Yeah I definitely agree that governments failed, and it’s hard to write it off as simply incompetence. CDC and the WHO lost credibility, people profited, politicians politicized medical science. In some third world countries like the USA wearing an N95 is a political statement now lol. It’s a real virus and can leave you with permanent damage. The corruption and failure to act sooner is a separate issue.

>>12175683
K, we'll see. Meanwhile, would you like to share more about yourself, "student of medicine"?

How is there "intrinsic factor" when supplementation is injected?

Fav spec: Algology
Worst spec: Cardiology

How do I learn that shit? Everytime I read exam cases everything looks the same.

I want to read some case studies about third degree burns to the mouth, cheek muscle, tongue and palate to find out what the treatment entails for fireeating gone wrong and similar events involving people who put burning objects in their mouth, but I have no idea how to find something like that. What keywords should I put into google to get actual stuff instead of self-help for hypochondriacs?

Treatment is debridation, and dressing until it heals.

>>12176370
No I wouldn't, fuck off and stop posting in /med/ if you're anti intellectual, dumb mutt.

Have you ever got depressed in med school /med/?
I had. It was worst time ever. I got a break up with girl and my GPA was going downward from 3.7 to a fucking 3.00

>>12168328
It depends on what drugs she's talking, but probably not daily, just a couple times per week.

Got a weird question, recovering from an eating issue and I cannot eat meals in one sitting, one meal takes me 3-5 'attempts' I'm gradually increasing the quantity per sitting but how long should I wait before attempts, 10 minutes? 20? thanks

>>12177390
"Eating issue" is a broad term. Retard. Also read the OP. Double retard.

>>12177420
>"Eating issue" is a broad term. Retard.
it's psychological so not relevant in the slightest, I'm asking how long should you wait between eating the OP is >>12150008 it's a greentext story what's your point?

>>12177422
I just realized OP didn't post the disclaimer. The fucking useless piece of shit.

>>12177432
Could you give a rundown of the disclaimer? is asking for medical advice/questions discouraged?

>>12177434
Yes. For your own safety.
Best case scenario is you're dealing with a graduated GP who is making a diagnosis without physical examination or a detailed clinical history of your case.
Worst case (the more common) is a premed/MD retard/dothead gunner LARPING, pulling diagnosis out of his ass and misleading you.

>>12177442
Pretty much this lol the amount of medical advice I see people give on the internet is frightening. Unless it's something very basic like "try melatonin for your insomnia" or "take vitamin D to lower your chances of severe covid symtoms" you should be very skeptical. Keep in mind just how many people are retarded and genuinely don't believe the current pandemic is real. Those are the types of people who might be giving you medical advice. See your GP or psychologist anon. Don't rely on the internet.

>>12177442
oh ok my mistake I figured since it was something basic it'd be fine, cause i know you feel hungry again every 20 minutes so I thought maybe there was something like that
>>12177452
already under the care of psychologist just a while since my next app

thanks lads I'll wait to speak to someone in person

>>12177459
no worries hope you overcome your eating problems. take care

>>12177459
Hope you get over it soon pal. Best wishes.
