>>12732774

>>12733008
why?

Yo med, i have a Oncology test on the 5th so i was wondering if any of you guys know some good books, online videos about oncology.

The questions will be based on:
- Basic oncology
- Prevention and tracking of the main types of cancers
- Pathophysiology of the main types of cancer

I'm planning on using Pathoma and Harrison, but i would welcome with open arms any other suggestion.

Does everybody's brain have similar arrangements of sulci and gyri or is it like a fingerprint?

>>12733011
better position for your rectum, allows free-er passage of stool.

>>12733012
harrison is pretty good, other than that i can't help you since the books i used wasnt in english

>>12733012
Abeloff textbook of clinical oncology.
>>12733001
A8 will join in a couple mins.

>>12733041
What language were they in? I can read portuguese.

>>12733052
Thank you very much, going to check it out right now.

>>12733056
>What language were they in?
it was in georgian, pretty good book. was edited by students themselves, oncology dept said they would rise scores of students who would find mistakes(of any kind) in the books so score hungry students did pretty good job for free.

>>12733074
That's pretty based, makes me wish i knew georgian.

>>12733056
I just checked and it looks like the most recent edition (6th) was published last year. With the seas of information and the publishing year I don't think there'd be a better book out there.
I read the 4th edition in spanish back when I was in my last semester and I actually enjoyed reading it, although lot of times it was too in-depth.

>>12732805
Yes, go to google translate now and try to translate the word "Quarantine" from English to Latin and see the result, and then try again from Latin to English multiple times, you'll see different messages.

>>12733090
I'm downloading the 6th edition right now but i just wish i had more free time to study oncology. This exam i'm going to take is optional but getting a 100% would open certain doors for me.

>>12731164 this is me

Here is a second attempt at a new /med/ OP picture.

I'll take any suggestions to make it better

>>12733110
youre getting better

anon chat is available on Element. Discord has lots of limitations, Element has everything for free that Discord charges for, plus better file sharing options and its more secure.

is gargling with baking soda good for pharyngitis? just curious, as my doctor aunt recommended this to me

>>12734205
Discord has 3 people. How many are in your platform?

>>12734205
It ain’t the platform, it’s just the fact that if a part of the discussion happens outside the threads, it immediately makes threads less accessible. The people in the discord etc. would probably be among the more active posters in the threads worsening the issue and only a subset of the fairly heterogenous group that makes up /med/.

>>12732944

My 3 year old nephew isn't talking. We know he's autistic but is there any way we can bring him up to at least average intelligence before his developmental years are done with? We're taking him to therapy centers but even they're saying it'll take at least a year before he starts talking.

>>12735576
Ask that to his treating staff.

>>12735718
>We're taking him to therapy centers but even they're saying it'll take at least a year before he starts talking.
This is the only thing they're saying. I'm asking anons here because they have more experience with this kind of thing with a lot of smart autists around here. Basically I'm asking if he's irredeemably developmentally stunted or if he has a chance at intelligence.

So I've had a major sleep problem and I took 500mg of powdered melatonin. I tried to induce vomiting to no avail, and I called poison control and they basically told me to fuck off, there's no lethal dose of melatonin. I'm extremely dizzy and I'm very scared. I way overdid this and I'm in over my heead. I feel like I drank a bottle of vodka and spin spun m my chair. I'm afraid myheart is going to stop on something. I took 2 shots of 5 hours energy to help combat b the effects.

>>12736155
>I took 2 shots of 5 hours energy to help combat b the effects.
Yep tell the dream demons /med/ said hi.

Starting med school in cali this July. Any tips/advice/insight?

>>12736189
Yeah, don't take 500mg of melatonin like the guy above.

Hello, normie here, I recently have been interested in forensic pathology and have been reading a few books on it, however the last science class I had was in grade 10. How would I go about getting accepted into a school? Night classes and extensive reading? I feel like I've already fucked myself over by graduating highschool with average grades

Did you guys goto med school straight out of highschool? Were you all A+ students? Is it already over for me

>>12736155
oof

>>12736290
i did bad in highschool. 2.3 gpa.
Went to community college and started in remedial math. Transferred to a great university took all my pre-reqs in community college. Got a neuroscience degree in university. Got into 2 top med schools after lots of volunteering, extracurriculars, and a 3.8gpa in college. Also did bad on my mcat so got lucky on that front.

>>12736155

Hi /med/, /pol/ here.

Just wondering about the coranovirus vaccine. We all know that vaccine for the chinese flu is more deadly than the virus itself, but I was wondering if you guys had any actual data or expertise on HOW deadly it is i.e. how many people have died, especially given that they've tried covering it up.

>>12734326
why is it a placebo? i heard it can cure a lot of throat-related issues

>>12736556
if you already KNOW you also should have the data, so there is no reason to ask us about it. or you have other way of KNOWING?

is Adderall good for studying intensely? i am at my fucking limit as regards studying but i still have 2 exams left and i can't fucking take it anymore

We get it, you are a nigger

>>12736189
Get ready for an "education." I'm from NA and strictly am not attending NA schools because of the cancerous political agenda each school pushes. I found a racist country and I'm learning med there - they won't prioritize affirmative action. Think about how much money you're giving them, and what behaviour you're funding. C'mon, do you want that to be the 'new' medicine? Fuck that, I'm not learning racial medicine other than for my race - that's what nigger, and indian docs are for, they treat their own race in their own land

>>12736290
5 and 6 year programs exist that take high school grads, or mature students with XYZ courses. They only really care about what your prereqs are scored, what your overall retard level is based on school marks, and social retard score on experience like volunteering. if you're a lazy fuck, retake your prereqs. only take them at uni. If you're retarded take nothing else and concentrate on only pre reqs, as those are the most important courses. If you do the 5/6 year route from high school, then other courses don't really matter, fill the extra time with ECs, med related is best. If you can't handle getting As in undergrad introductary level prereq courses you honestly wont make it. Undergrad is easy. Anyone will tell you the first year of university is a continuation of high school; all intro courses cover the same or similar high school topics.

Unironically a nursing student with a 9.7/10 score that could handle medical books as study material and had all the interpersonal skills I lack.
Dumped me after a couple months. Can't blame her.

>>12737534
nursing isn't hard. Find a woman who doesn't prioritize their career over everything. You need one who will love you, and not their worldly material desires of instant gratification and things that rot and rust. Also avoid the women with those weird buddah tapesteries - they may as well just hang up a red flag.

Okay guys. I'm 19 rn. considering medicine as a good career choice. Even though I have virtually no social and romantic life, I don't know if I want to just throw all of the possibility away on a career/lifestyle of medicine. Advice?

>>12737671
if you REALLY don't want to do medicine don't do it. you will have miserable life. put same amount of energy into something else and you'll be as if not more rich and fullfilled. do whatever you want to do and are good at.

true. north americans are fond of their niggers. They copy their behaviour, and style. they love their hippyhoppy music. Niggerism has spread so far it lives rent free in minds - look at eminem, he isn't black but he thinks he is. Eminem is a cat raised in a dog pound, the thing tries to bark but sounds more retarded than target. At this point you may as well be a veterinarian - at least the animals won't try to rob, stab, shoot, or threaten you for something they want (99% ofthe time its drugs).

>>12739338
Clearly you're too much of a fag to have around in actual conversations. It's outspokenly true among my coworkers. All of the worst human traffickers around here are blacks. They have their own community and its ridden with crime. They have gang fights and no white first responder is around there, so I hear from the same people. Tons of racial barrier pujt up by themselves, and they won't help themselves. About every single building in their community begins with "Community..." fuck 'em. I've extended every olive branch on my tree, they can find their own sub-par doctor, they'd rather a fellow nigger than competency.

>>12739441
>>12739400
yes, especially when there are work implications. I work in medicine, suck my cock - it's a legitimiate problem that plagues my health care coverage area. If they weren't apart of it I'd have 40-60% less stress to deal with. Maybe I could even have time to work on preventive care that isnt rushed if they went back. It's hard dealing with the social loops they want me to jump through so they're comfortable. Tell me your Sign/Sx and be done with it. I don't know how you don't have the same experience. I've met blacks from all over and have had the same experience without exception, regardless of what african country they hail from, or what religion they claim to follow.

>>12739454

>I am not white. Enjoy living your miserable life. Glad you moved out of here.

No fuck you. I started nursing and I'm being assaulted with horrific far left propaganda in my fucking nursing courses. Something unthinkable. I wish I could escape from a western country and get my education in a non-western one. How much of a fucking subhuman do you have to be, to enjoy watching fucking pseudoscience and political bullshit being preached too you?

This system will not last, and I cannot wait too see it collapse

>Glad you moved out of here.

You're entire shitty state is collapsing and millions are running away because California is the first state to feel the effects of prog left politics damaging its intrinsic existence.

Is it worth it nowadays to dedicate your whole career to one disease?

For example, we had this pulmonologist during our rotations that would be fucking obsessed with hydatid cysts and echinococcus infections. He is doing this for over 20+ years, lads...

In your case, is there a disease that fascinates you that doesn't exist as a specialty or is seen a lot in a spec? (e.g diabetology or oncology)

>>12740929
in some cases yes, especially on the private side. lot of money in being the guy whose name pops up in everyones mind when they try figure out where to refer a patient.

Some people can be really unaware of their stress/anxiety and wouldnt need an event.
but I'll take your word on it if you say it's been thoroughly checked.

What's the patient's sex? Have they got their thyroids checked?

>>12742798
vitals normal? male or female?

then probably basic blood work: fbc, electrolytes, creatinine, blood sugar, thyroid, blood gas, crp, heart markers

Temperature average, though the person is easily prone to catching the flu and no is not a Relapsing borrelia induced fever or hepatitis. Pressure was fine as well, pulse was sometimes high for the first days, around 97, but it has been stable for days now. male, 27 years old, overweight but no diabetes. Case history is a bit muddled because apparently the person has been through many doctors in different countries, had for a while migraine and encephalitis caused by a virus, doesn't remember/know which, is fine now, oncologically fine too

Sorry if I am not perfectly accurate, is just I have been thrown in a position sooner than I expected.
>Creatinine 2,30 mg/dl
He did say he has experienced pain time to itme when urinating for around 10 years, but ever since he did a urine test and they found nothing he just gave up on his kidneys
>Triglycerides 60 mg/dl
his Glycated hemoglobin was just barely over the average, less than 150 mg/dl more than 125. Which is funny because by his admission he often eats chocolate.

Ok. That's a pretty shitty kidney function. He is not acidic? I'd do more labs.Particle count and albumine/creatinine ratio from urine, serum albumine, urea, liver panel, calcium and phosphate, parathyroid, vit d.

Abdominal ultra, especially the kidneys

>>12742968
>his Glycated hemoglobin was just barely over the average, less than 150 mg/dl more than 125.
Do you mean blood glucose? If that was the fasting blood glucose I'd suggest him to start doing some cardio.
HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) should be below 6%

>>12743067
Ah yes, forgot to mention, ph is acid, thyroid is fine, calcium is fine as well, though he did told us he was aware of cramps and the correlation with calcium and the parathyroid glands but he is fine on that regards, although he did tell us that for a while he had Sarcoidosis.
>>12743168
Well his is barely around 7%
>I'd suggest him to start doing some cardio
Well "a series of unfortunate events contributed to his general lazyness", so he says, is a matrioska of problems, for a while he suffered from a virus induced arthritis, but that is gone, then he suffered from a Acute bronchiolitis due to human metapneumovirus which has, in his words "corroded" the lungs, but he does not want to do an x-ray of the chest, he also seems to have a odd, (at least in my little experience) form of asthma, his histamine levels are always normal, actually better than average, no food allergies, dust, plants, cats, dogs.

Can sitting too much cause a burning sensation in the lungs? There is this lady that due to an hereditary ataxia she has been forced to sit for most of her life and she was misdiagnosed an emphysema blaming it instead on her sitting habits.

>>12743252
What do you mean by burning sensation? I've never heard of something like this before. Pain? A constriction-like feeling in the chest area?

>>12743274
Well that's how it was described to me by 2 people suffering from emphysema. Like there's an enflamation, was just curious how they could have made that mistake with the second person.

Thinking about the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, presynaptic D2 inhibition will increase cAMP which causes more dopamine to be packed into vesicles which means there will be more dopamine in the synapse. Excess dopamine is one of the suspected reasons for schizophrenia symptoms. So D2 antagonists help the positive symptoms by causing more release of dopamine? How do you explain this paradox?

I ventured a guess that it is postsynaptic D2 inhibition that is important. This also generates more cAMP, but presumably the postsynpatic cascade after D2 inhibition/cAMP elevation is what makes the difference. Right? Do you have any papers/texts I can read on this?

tl;dr
Presynaptic D2 --> more cAMP --> more dopamine in synapse --> paradox

Postsynaptic D2 --> more cAMP --> less symptoms

HOW?

Copypasting this shit from /sqt/

I live in the U.S. and have a B.S. in bio with a concentration in micro from a reputable institution. I will have a J.D. from a reputable law school after this semester. I was a mediocre 3.2 premed but ended undergrad with a superlative GPA in my upper level courses. I did everything short of taking the MCAT, got cold feet, and ran into law without thinking due to panic after graduation and stagnating in a bioinformatics research lab. The self-doubt I had regarding shit like residency and performing in med school scared me so I chose the "easy" way out. Turns out I have ZERO interest in law or an office job, how do I pivot back into science, ideally into a medical career? I'm not degree chasing I swear to fucking god I just despise the idea of a legal career after my experiences in summer internships/clinics. I also hear there are plenty of opportunities to leverage a JD/MD but I'd settle for literally any medical career at this point.

Should I take remedial courses in some community college? it's been 7 years since I took O-chem, 6 since biochem.

>>12745918
I wish I had known this before hand, but yes, law students are for the large part awful people.

>>12746335
Pivoting is as easy as taking the MCAT and applying assuming all your requirements are done. Just keep in mind you're signing up for 4 years of school and then 3-5 of residency and more debt on top of whatever you've taken out so far. You've already dropped out of law, better be damn sure medicine will be for you.

>>12746410
I honestly loved my shadowing and volunteering hours, but got seriously jaded by my time in my research lab as I got more distant from actual practice. I'm well aware of the debt, and I'm lucky enough that I had a pretty good scholarship to law school, so I'm not entirely fucked. That said, yeah, I've thought about it quite a bit and medicine is simply what I enjoy the most at the end of the day. I'm currently taking health law, getting the full perspective of the current field docs have to practice in from the outside, so my J.D. isn't a complete waste.

Do you guys prefer being called doctor "last name" and are you docs okay with being called your first name?
I'm a medical technician and work with docs in the local ED a lot. They call me by my first name, but since I'm military, I usually just say doc or doctor "last name", or just call them by their last name out of habit even to civilians. To my military superiors, I never really call them by first name. Autist here obviously, but is using doctor preferred as a sign of respect, or do you guys like being treated like everyday people too by using a first name?

>>12748356
Ask them specifically.

I prefer Dr. Anon because it reminds me of my duty to be professional. I have a tendency to act as if I'm dressed in jeans and a graphic tee when seeing patients when I don't consistently remind myself to be professional. In other words, I formalize my dress, title, vocabulary when on the job so there's little room for things to slip through. Like the n-word. I am terrified I'll accidentally drop the n-word while on duty. It's not even a /pol/ thing. i was in the gym the other day and the song playing over the loudspeakers was like "nigga nigga nigga".

Are there magic pills to kill libido without side effects like slowly turning you in gitrl? I tried nofap and this shit isn't for me. I don't wanna be horny anymore.

lmao what the fuck is up with the US, frens? I swear to god they became a silly joke. Letting nursoids practice on their own and they let optometrists do surgery holy lmao kek. They even have NPs SUPERVISING medstuds, residents and even FELLOWS.

Why are amerilards so dumb and kill themselves in the meantime too?

>>12748566
Because the US is transitioning to a model where NPs take midlevel roles and MDs are supervisors/specialists. NPs don't have bad outcomes and are a good stopgap for the fact that MDs hate working in rural areas because of the immense paycut they take.

As for the overall rise, its because this midlevel-supervisor model makes hospitals and orgs a LOT of money. Like insane amounts. NPs and their services are reimbursed at like 85% of an MD level but their pay isn't anywhere close to an MD, less than half generally.
tldr: nps are money makers and a huge windfall for orgs.

>>12748566
kek, look at medical school admissions in muttland, literally going for diversity hires over qualified candidates. at that point an np with hospital experience is probably a step up from some arrogant diversity hire resident who thinks he's smart because the tests were curved for him and melanin endows him with abilities beyond those of the mortal breadth and ken.

>>12748356
military also, i worked with a bunch of surgeons and they all seemed kind of annoyed by it. But as the other anon said, it's good to use formal speech at work, protects you from the stupid things that might fall out of your mouth. Remember there's a lot of people who will be more than happy to sue your ass for hate speech because you called them a retard.

>>12748688
> MDs hate working in rural areas

That role was made for NPs and then why don't they practice in rural areas? It's a fucking joke, there should be only MDs and RNs + auxiliary staff.

Thanks both of you. I'll just keep with the formal talk then unless a doc specifically asks me to not do that with them. Hell, they're happy as long as try to limit the times I respond to them with sir/yes sir and ma'am/yes ma'am.

>>12748751
>PAs practicing on their own
don't think they can.
>That role was made for NPs and then why don't they practice in rural areas?
That post spelled it out for you. Do you know what a windfall is? NPs make money. Big amounts of money, especially compared to the cost of employing one. If you ran a hospital, could get a prescriber on staff for 1/5 of the cost of an MD with a skilled MD overseeing them and making sure they didn't kill anyone, why wouldn't you?
>AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
cope all you want, this is the truth. this is why MDs hold the supervisory position, so NPs don't kill anyone. The board of nursing then uses this as ammunition to fight for more rights in government - like independent care - and because they are a bunch of psycho bitches gaming the system, they get it.
The worst part is, MDs in the usa really just go along with it, as opposed to fighting for their profession - because NPs make private practices a ton of money too.

>>12748731
i've known some good NPs. but they were
1) male
2) on the high end of the bell curve
in every instance they should have or should still just go to med school but whatever, they are already practicing and going back to school and racking up debt makes less sense at that point.

>>12748781
>so NPs don't kill anyone
Too bad they do. No cope for me since I'm not murifat, just laughing at them of how cucked MDs and DOs are. PAs made a super copepost saying that they're not assistants even tho it's in their fucking title, lmao.
And I wasn't talking about supervision because that shit is rare. NPs practice on their own and most of them are incompetent, especially the psych ones.

>>12748795
I remember a post saying that some NPs took STEP 3 (the easiest out of the bunch presumably) and approx 30% passed.

>>12748817
>just laughing at them of how cucked MDs and DOs are

NPs are a major problem, everyone knows it, and physician professional organizations are finally starting to wake up to it. But a majority of states require physician oversight for NPs to at least prescribe, if not diagnose. PAs actually have more prescriptive authority in most states.

>>12748838
The AMA is the worst thing to happen to American healthcare, and unfortunately is still the strongest professional organization. Specializations tend to be kind of bulkanized, with each specialty having its own set of organizations. The AMA has been too busy diddling Senators to keep fee-for-service around to care about the issues medical professionals actually care about.

Literal and absolute cope. The amount of states where NPs have full authority is INCREASING. Blame the AMA for not giving a shit and orgs and MDs for taking the shekels NP gives. Either way be fucking honest, the only people 'waking up' are med students who give up their anti-NP stance in residency. seethe & cope, cope & seethe etc, come back when you're an attending and have 3 NPs doing your job for you.
