/sci/ - Science & Math

Just heard that a med student girl just committed suicide; apparently, she was really burned out and was raped and abused to top it all - family was completely destroyed. The rest of the class is completely depressed too. Many don't even make it through the bloody expensive exams without at least some years studying outside of school.

It's like these people don't even develop some kind of personality. They just go straight to medschool / work. They know nothing outside of the bibliography of the curriculum or outside of globalized consumerism.

It is almost the same as Phds with suicidal ideation. Academia is a massive clusterfuck and there's very little standardisation. It's hard to make judgements about anyone's circumstances beyond your own. Nepotism is also undoubtedly a factor in many places. Well, it is 50-50, but you can clearly see that these people are depressed and anxious.

Legit can't understand this. I mean at best (I'm not even considering the opportunity cost) a PhD increases a little bit your starting salary. Why the fuck, excluding people hellbent on trying to get tenureship, do people put so fucking effort to get a PhD. Like 2 years at the very last working hard at hs + 4 years working extremely hard at Undergrad + 5 years working extremely hard in a "prestigious" PhD = 11 years. Not to mention the life-time road of studies inside academia.

I really respect doctors. It seems so tough

I want to claim to be a med school dropout. Not to claim to have a medical degree, just to claim to have dropped out of med school.

What are some textbooks I should read to know the absolute most basic shit that a first year medical student would know?

I'm fascinated by nutrition and psychotropic drugs, but my knowledge is mostly limited to what I've picked up reading papers on PubMed (usually skipping to the conclusion). The vocabulary comes easy to me because I've had some Latin and Greek education (mostly Latin). The expression "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" comes to mind, and even if I didn't plan to trick people, I would want a firmer understanding of the body so that I don't look ignorant when asked a question about something that didn't interest me enough to read about on my own steam.

>>14753236
I dont think those are nurses, real nurses twerk on tik tok.

>>14753396
>Legit can't understand this

It's really not that difficult, people are driven into academia by ambition. Once you've made a big enough name for yourself, university hospitals will offer you your own little kingdom to rule in exchange for bringing in research grants, that and the prospect of recognition and status is an enticing offer for the striver types. Naturally the competition is retarded and you can kiss any semblance of work life balance goodbye, but that's what they sign up for and they know it. It's not that different to pro sports, for every pro athlete there are hundreds that tried and failed. Anything with high enough stakes to draw in the ambitious type is bound to turn into a clusterfuck as they tend to take things to retarded extremes to succeed.

how do you guys distinguish between the nerves, to me they all look the same and there's so much stuff between. i have only read about the cervical plexus and seen drawings, but this is so confusing. do students learn this from examining a cadaver? are there better videos with a voice like this, where someone explains the anatomy while doing a surgery on youtube? will i be able to learn anatomy without ever seeing a cadaver or going to university? also, isn't it really easy to accidentally cut a nerve with those scissors?

shots give your cells instructions to create antibodies
takes a little bit for your body to create lots of antibodies when faced with the real infection
much faster than without shot so fewer complications

>>14753396
Just man up you little bitch
The world doesn't revolve around you

>>14753980
Am I the only patient you didn't kill with morphine?
I love you too, haroldposter.

>>14753995
It's about knowing the anatomical landmarks, for the cervical plexus it's just knowing the nerves, knowing that they emerge superficially at the punctum nervosum and their sites of innervation, and it is easier to learn it from working on cadavers, but you still need to study the anatomy thoroughly. Most doctors have comparativley little anatomical knowledge, beyond internal organs, major nerves and the major blood vessels used for clinical procedeurs. Surgeons and radiologists are probably the only specs with a good grasp of anatomy

>will i be able to learn anatomy without ever seeing a cadaver or going to university?
I've worked a lot with cadavers and supervised students during cadavers courses and I'd say to a degree sure, but to get a practical understanding of anatomy it's pretty important to work on cadavers, it's difficult to get a feel for the spacial relation of the body without it. But it depends on what you want to learn anatomy for.

>isn't it really easy to accidentally cut a nerve with those scissors?
You don't use the scissors to cut, but the spread the tissue appart, that way you can separate the soft fat and connective tissue from nerves and blood vessels without damaging them.

>>14753236
Thank you for your service, nurses

>>14754074
do you think i can pay a professor to give me in depth lessons on cadavers? or if it's illegal, bribe him?
i wish instead of all those violin lessons i had growing up i instead learned about the body. it's insane how most of us have no idea what's even between our ears

>>14754089
>do you think i can pay a professor to give me in depth lessons on cadavers?
What for? Practical anatomy is useless if you're not going to perform procedures. If you just want to look at cadavers go visit body worlds or bribe the guys that handle the cadavers at universities or something

>>14754098
because i'm not some hylic who doesn't care how the absolute magnificience that is the mammal body works, i want to see and know every artery, nerve and muscle by name

>>14754115
You sure sound like an autistic somatic to me, but if it's elegant magnificience you're after, just stick to physiology, anatomy, especially on cadavers which are exclusively old people, is a messy affair, often packed with abberations and whatever damages they've amassed throughout their lifes

>>14754131
do slaughterhouses offer tours, is there a market for that? i am afraid of vivisections because of the smell though, cadavers seem more comfy

oh god im so fucking alone

you people are so painfully stupid that theres no reaching the shallow corners of your mind

>>14753396
>med student girl just committed suicide
Good news. Currently rotating at pediatric anesthesia and all attendings are women. Things are not better for the upcoming generation of physicians. Back at my hospital there are med students just piddling around taking classes and shit. out of a 30/40 group about 3 or 4 of them students are male, with 3 of them being homos. Deadass.
Dark days come for this profession.

>>14754131
also why are cadavers only old people, is that a shartistan thing or does that apply everywhere? don't young people also donate themselves? wouldn't that be really useful for baby surgery? what moralfaggotry is this

>>14753954
>what's the job like?
It depends. If you live in the american continent then it's all about raping throats, shanking backs and patients been grateful to the surgical nigger instead of you. If you happen to live in the rest of the world then it is a 4 year spec that includes the american experience+ ICU shit, which IMO, is the more complete program.
>still have no idea what I want to do
Congratulations. That is the first requirement. Very few of my residents wanted to do anesthesia since they were fetuses.
T. 2nd year anesthesia resident

A moment of silence for psychiatry, for the psychiatrists who do more good than any other medical specialty. Also fuck nurses

>>14754174
>what moralfaggotry is this
They have to be old enough to be disqualified as organ donors and old people tend to die at a more reliable rate than young ones, which is what university hospitals need to have a steady supply of cadavers for their courses. There are some specimen pieces from younger people that donated their body, but usually not full cadavers

>>14753716
>Remember. Out of all the people applying, the people who have made it far enough and think their app is good enough to justify spending thousands of dollars on app fees- only about a third of them get into a single school.
That's honestly pretty frightening. I'm probably going to apply to a lot of DO schools considering that the requirements for MD schools are getting pretty high and I don't really want to apply again.

Medstudent here, just read House of God. How relevant/factual is the information provided in the book? Also is lasix = age + bun true?

You DID take the Hippocratic Oath right? You WILL never do an abortion or administer euthanasia/SSRIs (poison), and you DO treat your professor like your father? Right?

>>14754895
i never took that oath
my country(denmark) has a worse version of the oath where all the stuff about treating colleagues as your blood family is cut out
And because of covid we had to basically sign a pdf file instead of saying the words. What a joke
also in our outh the lines goes "i'll never harm my patient and society" which is an absurd addition

and honestly 95% of doctor colleagues especially my age are people I would never call brothers and especially sisters and I sense it's mutual
oaths and words in general mean nothing in this day and age but I'm still thankful I never had to say the words or take an actual oath because it would be meaningless and that's not OK

>>14754895
>Taking oaths seriously.
Damn, you're an NPC, but what can you expect from an amerimutt.

>>14754169
Women are ruining medicine, much like they ruin everything else they touch.

>>14752784
They have studied it, doctor triage outperforms nurse triage and nurse triage can bias a doctor's opinion since the triage promotes premature closure on diagnosis. My opinion is that emergency medicine shouldn't exist anyway, family physicians should be staffing emergency rooms and making the appropriate referrals to hospitalists/surgeons. Surgeons, anesthetists, critical care specialists can all do the emergency procedures/intubation/organ support if needed.

Emergency specialists are outclassed by everyone else in any skill you can think of, even family physicians are better diagnosticians since they don't usually have unlimited and immediate access to investigations yet still manage to know if something is serious or not.

Sometimes I would see them reading a book or running in place or literally dozing off. I had considered becoming a CRNA until I witnessed how boring anesthesia is.

>>14756147
>lifestyle is shit though?
As a resident, in my experience, it has been absolute dogshit. However if you have an institutional job+private practice you can make good ass money while doing the minimal effort.
Some of my attendings have like 3 jobs and earn so much buck they have to pay an accountant to waste/invest their money so they don't get buttraped by taxes. Drawback is obviously that they don't even have a time of their own. But yeah, as an attending you get to set the bar on how much you time is worth.
>How competitive is it?
In my experience anesthesia was easy to get in, but as you progress it gets more and more difficult to stay. We walk hand in hand with the big pharma and tech companies so we have to stay updated on the last trends and discoveries.
Also, if you happen to be a heterosexual male you wont be as desirable to the market because cumbrain surgical niggers would rather have an eyecandy braindead female anesthesiologist than an actually competent gas monkey. Females for some reason are the majority of anesthesiologists here so you will have to deal with idiotic drama, tantrums and hurting egos.
>Anything else you recommend
Only apply anesthesia if you have cold blood and can think quickly when the monitor starts going apeshit. If you dominate this you'd already be an above average anesthesiologist.

I think I randomly got tinnitus this weekend. I was sitting at my computer in the afternoon and all of a sudden a high pitched whine started in my head. It's been over 24 hours and hasn't stopped. Nothing strange or different happened leading up to it. I might kill myself because this is horrible. Any medical advice?

>Babbys first med suicide
What a clusterfuck is academia in the US. anyways, people take the path of least resistance, once they pick med school on a flimsy wish they must stick with it to the very end since starting over would require knowing nothing over again and the unsurmountable effort of keeping up pace with your generation who started earlier in that alternative field. Thus people have no choice but to keep going on.

I'm at the same dilemma actually. Fucking hate this makeshift ped residency, yesterday I had a kid almost die on me, i know fucking nothing and had no supervision, besides all the fucking kids came at the same time so i had like 6 of them queuing while doing all the paperwork for the critical kid. He had pulmonary bronchodisplasia and it seemed to me like community acquired pneumonia, wasted a lot of time just watching and wondering what to do. Administration only cares about attention times so i'm absolutely fucked either way.

>>14759444
So no doctor has any clue what's behind our skin? The surgeons just know what's physically there and have barely any idea how it works, while physicians or pharmacists know how it works but have no mental map of the nervous system? My ignorance of my own body, the very thing I have controlled, nay, have controlled ME for the past two decades, caused an existential crisis, and as I am drawing maps of nerve plexi, memorizing the functions of the organs and watching dozens of dissection videos every day, on cadavers and live people, I sense a euphoria I have never felt. All these millions of years of death and reproduction have created something more spectacular than we could ever achieve. I've even started flossing and being even more disciplined with my health because of my respect for the body

>>14759541

I developed a bad addiction to comfort food in the last few years of med school /med/ . The years of bad nutrition is finally destroying my brain.

>Were vaccines by design never meant to be a magic force field and the idea that they make you impervious to infection was always a problem?
Some induce sterilizing immunity for viral infections that show a consistent genetic stability like Measles or Hepatitis B, when you're vaccinated for those you won't catch the disease unless your immunesystem is completely fucked. Other species of viruses like influenca are far less genetically stable, hence why flu vaccines have to be updated yearly and come with a generally lower efficacy as the pharmaceutical companies essentially have to make a educated guess as to which strains will become dominant during the next flu season and design their vaccines accordingly, which sometimes doesn't work. We got rid of some very nasty communal disease through vaccination, but they're not a silver bullet that works for everything.

Outpatient care is retard in the sense that it's supposed to manage chronic conditions, but then not all chronic conditions are profitable, so you get fucked. Look for specialists, whatever country you're in most likely has a national association of various specialties, see if one of the higher ups is in your region and try to get an appointment at his clinic, even if you can't talk to them directly, you'll get a physician that reports to them and most likely is up to date on possible treatment options or research regarding treatment resistent cheilitis and can refere you if necessary. You'll have to wait a while, but it's probably a better strategy than taking shots in the dark with other Dermatologists in private practice

Big hospital in central europe, at the very least you're supposed to inject air and listen for bubbeling in the stomach. My best guess is it was some nurse in rehab or a retarded intern without supervision, in any case it's an insane fuck up, but my countries laws are pretty reluctant when it comes to compensation for medical errors, so even if they can somehow proof negligence, at best he'll get maybe 50.000 euros

>>14769427
>I'm in Germany and it's generally very hard to get appointments
That explains it, if you're covered by public insurance, private practice gets terrible reimbursments for repeat visits, it simply isn't profitable for a dermatologist to actually put effort into your treatment if the first and second line treatment didn't deliver results, hence why you were politely told to fuck off. Beyond that derm is a difficult speciality to get into, and the doctors that made it to private practice make most of their money with asthetic procedures. Look for public clinics, you should get an appointment with a referal from your family doctor and the doctors there aren't as fixated on their own bottom line as the ones in private practice are. The same applies for pretty much any medical problem, if private practice care can't deliver results in a reasonable timeframe, you should try getting a referal to a clinic, some doctors will refere you themselves if they exhausted their treatment options, but many will just tell you to fuck off.

Ah come on, fuck off and gift the poor doomed patient a fucking euthanasia already

My mother was admitted to the local hospital and was diagnosed with a stroke. She went back to the hospital less than a week later because her condition worsened and was airlifted to a much better hospital about an hour away where she was eventually diagnosed with an infection in her that traveled to the rest of her organs and caused major damage and eventually led to her death. The doctors at this other hospital believe the infection is what caused her stroke symptoms. Do I have a case for medical malpractice? Is checking for an infection something routine that doctors that doctors should do that her original doctors didn't perform?

I think my dad has a cluster B personality disorder, what do to get him seen by an actual psychiatrist cuz I'm just a junior doctor?

I exercise normally but my cardiovascular performance and stamina (say for jogging) has been deteriorating. 32 years old, healthy, good diet, no vax, did a bunch of blood tests including heavy metals and stuff. I'm Canadian so health care for something like this is basically useless.

Not in my country. In here the nurses do not seem as skilled/intellectual as in other countries. Aldoe a lot of them share the same traits as with other country's nurses like being single mothers, being slaves to gossip and forming mafia-like lobbies inside hospitals.

>>14770705
First off, sorry for your loss. Second off, I am not familiar with your mother's clinical history or the circumstances involving her illness.
Third and most important, ain't no way in hell I am snitching on a fellow practitioner that I don't know/may like.

>Do I have a casenfor medical malpractice?
Don't be an asshole. From the way you talk it also seems you probably didn't even love your mother anyways.

It's not like figuring out whether a patient has an infection is easy either, you need at least a couple of days with fever to even consider the possibility of blood tests. When a patient comes in critical condition you just give them antibiotics in a spray and pray style because the condition has already set in for whatever risk factors the patient had. Besides, it's pretty dubious for the new hospital to claim the stroke was caused by an infection. Plenty of other possible causes.

And the other guy is right. Why would we snitch on other medics? You already have a profession dedicated for that, and the reaction to jerk practices like that are insurance companies leveling the field and artificial inflation rising in a positive feedback loop.

Besides, what dogshit description? Have you even met a fucking patient in real life? People consult with 6 hours of fever and no other fucking symptoms, sometimes they come with an innocent abdominal pain that persists for two weeks. You have to start looking for shit somewhere and the patient expects you to relieve them not caring the cause.

I have received an offer to study MD, yet I am still unsure whether I want to pursue being a physician or not. I know it's a privileged thing, and probably one of the hardest things is to get accepted into an MD program. But honestly, after reading this board countless times, it seems that going into an MD program to help people isn't something of reality anymore. From what I understood primarily due to bureaucracy.

What was your reason for entering into MD program?

>>14777647
>What was your reason for entering into MD program?
pussy(that didn't work out)
reliable job, you can always be employed (a misleading truth)
prestige (there is none)
money(the money is really meh)
everything else is shittier in comparison(i think this is the best reason)

honestly the job is kinda interesting if you enter the field that matches your personality which I did.
so that's the reason i'm a doctor now without hating it
I suggest you go for it

>>14777000
Depends on the cause, get ibuprofen and get checked.

>>14777647
>I am unsure
Then don't. You don't know what the field is about or what it's like. This is way too much of an investment of both time and money, it's not challenging, it's just endless work. If you're a dumbfuck with great resilience, medicine is for you.

>it's a privileged thing
It's not
>hardest
it's not. The hard part is getting admitted into a residency program since at the end of the road is a bottleneck you'll need money to waste on applications and a solid network of corruption.

indeed. that's not what the post above said though, so. adding in "for the greater good" just makes it altruistic without it needing to be masochistic

>>14753396
I wouldn't mix the struggles of medschool with academia. Two different beasts. I graduated medical school three years ago and almost went down the same path.
The thing is that medical school is not a real academic course, it is an overglorified professional polytechnic school. Some decades ago it was part of real academia, where you learned a valuable science and gained qualifications to do many different things. Clinic? Admin? Research? Consulting? You got it, all possible. That is why there were so many Nobel prize winners who were doctors by training. Now, you are streamlined to the first medical position available and you'll be stuck with it for close to a decade before you can leave. After that, you'll be qualified to do one thing only, and you'll be utterly useless for anything else. Medical school is a factory for the mass-production of medical slaves. You'll be unqualified for anything other than being a hospital monkey, following guidelines made by someone else and utilizing your google-fu. Any alternative career path means having to go back to school and redoing everything, and shitting on your medical education and the money invested in it. You want to explore alternative paths? You can't. Every year outside of the hospital will be its own "kiss of death", good luck explaining that to any future clinical employer that expects you to be a one-trick-monkey slave with no further ambitions.
Anyone considering medical school should really, really think about this and ask themselves if they have any ambitions, any at all, that are not spending your entire days at the hospital, possibly in a specialty you don't even like.

>>14768452
People who get big mad when hearing the truth are always the brainlets who struggled in medschool. Yes, it eats away at your intellect. Med school isn't "hard" by any metric except volume, and you don't really have to think much in your daily work.

>>14780048
Nothing is hard. Anyone who tells you that stuff is hard is a coping retard. I came from a mathematics degree and med school has the same level of difficulty. The only activities that are intellectually difficult are being done by luminaries and experts in their respective fields, whether that field is mathematics, physics, computer science, philosophy, biology, chemistry or medicine.

>>14780404
>I came from a mathematics degree and med school has the same level of difficulty
I know for a fact med school is easy as fuck. It's literally just memorization and training your patience and self-restraint when being abused by asshole superiors. If you're saying mathematics was just as easy then very well, it doesn't negate the fact that any retard could finish medical school.

>>14780404
>nothing is hard
Is there a point to generalizing stuff you know nothing about? It's very obvious there's a difference between the work of a doctor than the work of say, a software engineer. You may underestimate either and see things from a point of view that isn't even your own and say both are piece of cake, but some people are not qualified to do one or the other. In fact, the nature of the work is completely different, in one you must come up with a way to solve something, the other you must literally remember a guideline and your thought process ends at recognizing the problem.

Also, mathematics really isn't easy. It's as simple as to take a look at statistics to understand this. Really can't understand how you don't get it unless you really have some autistic condition.

But you have to look in people's mouths.

Clearly the solution to many of your problems is more doctors
More doctors means each doctor isn’t loaded down and slowly burnt out

More doctors means more opinions to diagnose a problem
The downside is less pay
However what are you going to do with the money when you hardly have free time to enjoy it
This whole field needs to be reimagined and I don’t expect it to be
But what you’ve got going on isn’t it

Can someone identify what this thing is. Basically it's like a hair follicle or some shit, but it's not really a pimple, it's like a red protruding slim thing. I'm p. sure if I were to cut it off it would bleed and it would scar. I have a few in areas that I shave, but now a new one appeared and it's on my face so need to find out what it is to know to possibly remove it.

It's not the doctor's call to hire other doctors.

Wait five minutes instead, you may be altering the pressure, I made a test for repeated takes and pressure raised to 180/110 from 120/90

>I came from a mathematics degree
That isn't how it works, sweetheart. You can't use sentences like that and believe people will believe you that you completed some math degree, rather than being filtered out in the first semester. Learn to talk deceptively, if you need it.

How the fuck do you nerds work and then come home and talk about work?

mad how you're just slaves of the capitalism ssytem designed to keep goy mildly productive for your rulers. greeks, the people who invented the concept of healer, were just a collection of warring ethnostates devoid of foreign parasitic influence who then realized one day that their islands of extremely similar ethnostates were their allies and developed The West.

The only doctors who can be trusted are found in totalitarian anticapitalist systems. A true doctor knows Russian to read their texts. everything in english is basically just yiddish.

also Japanese (Unit 731 was the moon landing of medicine x 100) and for modernbois, Chinese. Nobody else advanced medicine. Germans did prior to '45

>Oi, m8 what's wrong wit ur jaw?

My gf is applying to med school right now and has one interview. Assuming she gets in I’ll have to move with her for 4 years + residency if I want to be with her. Can even of you true American med school bros give me the reality of what that’s going to be like? I like her and all but the commitment to stick it out through potentially 10 years of med school is daunting.

>>14787307
She'll be studying a bit but should still be able to spend time with you unless she's a retard or an uber gunner.
Depends mainly on how disruptive the move is going to be for your job and family/friends. If you're going to be moving though, you want to be sure she's the right one because that time commitment will land you in marriage/settle down territory.
Also finances etc. are you going to be supporting her with rent/food or is she going to be working part time?

>>14787430
Didn’t even think about the financial piece. Idk, her parents have money and she’s industrious.

I'm starting to believe that one anon was right that it was adhd not just BED....

I just tried waiting five minutes. First measurement was 132/78, second was 120/74. I don't get it, which is correct?

>>14788256
Waited another five minutes and the third reading was 116/74.

If you want to claim to be a dropout you're going to end up studying stuff like physio and anatomy
It's painful even if there's a degree at the other side of the tunnel, for you it's going to be excruciating

Looking into people's mouths? bruh that's the least of our problems, or perhaps more accurately, it's a problem for no one after the first year.
The practical, every day problem is mostly the dust that comes shooting from under the bur straight into your eyes and hair etc etc, we are vaxxed for a lot but you can't work without glasses and not expect HCV, HIV etc etc.
As if that wasn't enough, certain materials are irritating, f.e the NaOCl that's used to eradicate bacteria from eptied root canals and man do we breathe that stuff in every day
The second problem is the strain this profession puts on the body, the stationary and sedentary nature combined with having to make a lot of small precise moves makes our back and upper arm muscles tense, trapezius gets obliterated over the years
Also the patients who book a visit, confirm it and then don't come, man do I love wasting half an hour every day!

So K2 mk4 and K2 mk7 are two different vitamins and people are fighting over which is better and if the later does anything for bone density? And mk7 doesn't go through the brain barrier???

I just don't want to die prematurely, the fuck...

Mindsets like this combined with the Covid 'pandemic' have shown me I'm right in never trusting doctors or medical professionals. Simply a brotherhood of pharmashills who are desperate to cling to their degrees and careers at whatever cost

>>14789100
report it, faggot

No point in reporting it, you're the perfect useful idiots for the system they've wanted to create

ASL* and I'm not telling you

What's the point in shitposting in a general just as it's about to die?

>>14789136
I found the discussion between medical professionals interesting until it turned in to exactly the kind of 'brotherhood' that would result in the entire global medical establishment pushing an experimental injection on kids

>>14789149
I don't see any similarities.

>>14789154
The real doctors are the ones that have had their licenses revoked since the beginning of the experimental injections

>>14789159
I don't know of any doctor who had his license revoked due to his medical opinion on an experimental injection.

>>14789165
That's right, you're a member of the brotherhood. Don't worry about what the real doctors are doing

>>14789168
Thank you for conceding on that point. It seems you don't want to discuss the issue at hand and rather shitpost. As such, I see no point in continuing this.

>>14789179
Thank you for conceding that you don't know every single doctor, and that you're not totally ignorant that many have had their licenses revoked

>>14789184
Some doctors have their licenses revoked. Some doctors are not acting in good faith. If you see medical malpractice, report it, just as I said. That's the best way to counteract this.
If your reports are not taken seriously, start protesting. Be forthright about your goal and cease the shitposting if getting rid of the "medical brotherhood" is your goal.

>>14789190
>and cease the shitposting if getting rid of the "medical brotherhood" is your goal.
Where did I say getting rid of it is my goal? I made a post pointing out the type of mindset present in this thread is evidence for the type of mindset that would allow mass experimental injections. If that upsets you that's fine, cops have a brotherhood with each other as well

>>14789197
What a silly post.

>>14770705
medical malpractice is difficult to prove, you can always sue, but unless someone actually did fuck up properly and left a papertrail, you're tough out of luck. It's not a black an white issue, you can do everything by the books and miss a diagnosis, nobody has infinite resources and things will fall through the cracks. We don't know your mothers clinical history or how she presented at the day she was admitted to the first hospital, it's simply impossible for us to say whether or not a they would've had a reason to rule out infection as an underlying cause for her symptoms.

>>14789206
>cops have a brotherhood with each other as well
How does it feel being on par with the people who will cover each others ass over doing what's right?
>I'm not going to advise you on malpractice because that might hurt someone from my brotherhood somewhere, fuck your mother

I hadn’t considered that before. Would you still say it’s worth pursuing? I’ve always been interested in medical school after college but after doing some research I’m considering opting for dentistry instead. If my MCAT score’s not up to par I’d probably just try to pursue a DDS instead.

>>14769482
Might be late, but thanks again anon. I'll try but I think I'm on my own. Gonna eat well, sleep well, get sun every day, sport and live stress-free and hope I can find help. God willing, I'm lucky enough and it cures before my life is over.
