How likely is for one to have adhd if methylphenidate helped with most problems on low dose, maintains that effect for decent part even when drug clearly is wearing off and drug itself caused drowziness?

>>14795159
Hey anons, I overdosed on HCL tabs and almost killed myself (I have a condition that docs said they couldn't help with and got desperate). Landed in the hospital, luckily I'm still fine (I know, retarded as fuck).

Do stomach acid levels noramlise over time? I feel constant burning now, not as bad as before where I couldn't move, but it's still there.

>>14796271
If you didn't burn your mucosa enough to get a bunch of ulcers, yes
>I feel constant burning now
The hospital should've prescribed you proton pump inhibitors

>>14796401
The hospital told me to take PPIs until the burning stops; which I did. But now I suddenly feel a lingering burning, so I think I stopped taking them too early.

They looked inside my stomach and said nothing was wrong, got diagnosed with NERD. Thanks anon, I'll wait and see if it gets better in the coming month, otherwise I'll visit a doc.

you dont need to study computer engineering at a university to become a computer engineer, you need to study medicine at a university to become a doctor, choice is pretty simple

If you want to dabble in computer engineering during or after you become a doctor, you can always do that. But this opportunity is the only one you will have

that's my issue. the exclusivity of medicine makes it hard to reject but at the same time it takes 6 years of med school + god knows how many years until i become licensed to practice.

I just had my first patient death. Massive interventricular hemorrhage in a patient with discharge orders in. She was here for syncope with fall but workup was negative including a ct head and neck the day before. I checked on her before leaving for the day and while she said she didn't feel normal her neuro exam was fine and at baseline she feels dizzy from low bp. Now I'm on call all day just trying to keep it together but I'm sleep deprived, sad, and questioning myself.

>>14798532

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/08/covid-becomes-equal-leading-cause-of-death-in-new-zealand-for-first-time
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/16/new-zealand-seeks-to-repeat-world-beating-covid-response-in-face-of-surging-cases

The country, which once embraced snap lockdowns in the face of a single Covid case, has in recent months progressively dropped restrictions and carried on as thousands of people have been infected. Now, looking down the barrel of a rising wave of infections and a growing death toll, New Zealand faces the question of whether it can reclaim its reputation for a world-beating Covid response.

Despite high vaccination rates, that status looks tenuous. According to Johns Hopkins University data, New Zealand is now in the top three countries in the world for average daily confirmed cases per 100,000 people and the top seven for deaths, ahead of Australia, the US and the UK. On a per-capita basis, its Covid deaths have now overtaken Japan’s – a country that rode out the pandemic without lockdowns, but maintained very high mask compliance.

This reads like Reddit so much you're either a massive homo or a f*moid.
A partner or mine had 3 intraoperative deaths in the same turn but managed to stay cool up until she was asked to leave by her attending in charge. Some boomer dies after you leave shift and now "am lichluty shakin guise oml!1!".

i dont whether or not to try to go to medical school or go accounting. i'd want to be a doctor because im infatuated with the idea of being a scientist that helps people, that knows a lot of useful things, and is someone that is dependable and upstanding. of course though, medical school is a huge expensive gamble and falling short leaves you in the air. i dont really know what i'm made of
meanwhile, accounting is a safe route that i know i can pass and the work is just work and it pays
i have to decide now, because whichever i choose, i have to go all in on and i cant have any doubts. i need to be resolved

Hi /med/. Engineer here. My grandfather had been diagnosed with liver cancer for a few months now. He's gotten surgery for it, but its now metastasized to different parts of his body.

He's pretty much a goner at this point but the doctors are going to give him chemo to try to extend his life as much as possible I guess.

I'm pretty sad about it but I am curious, if there have been any big advances in treating advanced/metastasized cancers. Are will we be rid of the scourge of cancer in the future?

I tried asking this in reddit but their faggotmods wanted my info

sometimes when lying down and moving tongue or swallowing it feels like a small loose part of the throat twists or gets sucked down into the throa itself a bit and it hurts a decent amount. moving my neck around usually solves it and it feels like it "slides" back where it is supposed to. I have tried googling what it is or what is causing it but have not found anything conclusive, thanks for any response

how do you guys cope with this absolutely fucking awful shithole shizo retard board your general is on
i had no idea it was so bad damn /int/ and /sp/ are god tier by comparison

> can't stop burping, gas getting stuck

is this the state of current 'medicine'? I don't want to take acid blockers for the rest of my life when they don't even work well.

I'm a college sophomore and I really don't want to have to do another 2 years of undergrad after this one. It is possible for me to graduate a year early since I got college credit in HS and take summer classes.
Is it worth me applying to medical school this summer so I can go in 2024 when I graduate early, or should I wait so my application is better?
If I apply in the Summer then I'd have taken my MCAT in the Spring and I haven't taken physics yet. And it'd also mean I'd be taking orgo 2 and biochem at the same time.
I suppose too I could apply the summer after this summer... I just want to get out of undergrad and move on with my life I'm so sick of these fucking zoomers and BS courses and want to move on with my life. How do I cope and should I apply next cycle or wait

So they can trap you with their fertility and then cuck you out of your paychecks. A doctor's first wife is a doctor. A doctor's second wife is a nurse. A doctor's last wife is the cleaning lady.

Immunotherapy is the big and promising one and has been for a while, lot's of studies going on with promising results, but it's still a pretty risky treatment. The treatment of cancer in general has made major improvements throughout the last decades and continues to do so.
>Will we be rid of the scourge of cancer in the future?
Too broad a statement, there are already various "curable" forms of cancer and we'll develop efficient treatments for more and more, but shit like a glioblastoma multiforme will most likely still kill you for the foreseable future

>>14798532
>I just had my first patient death
Oh no I'm so sorry, how this could happen to you of all people, and so unexpected, better get really invested in this, it is after all a very important in your life, now the dead patient, that's a doozy too, but nothing compared to how shaken up you are about it

>>14798532
i had a similar scenario happen to me
man in his 40's (known to have epilepsy) rolls in with seizure, wakes up, brain MRI a couple of hours later is normal
seizes again a few hours later, doesn't wake up within 1 hour. i did a ct fully expecting it to be normal and thinking the man was just postictal (we have a normal MRI just prior after all)
ct revealed a massive subdural bleed and an incarcerated brain
rest of that night shift is a blur for me
i still get slight ptsd flashbacks when a seizure patient rolls in so i am very quick to pull the ct scan trigger now and cross my t's and dot my i's

Just got a cramping sort of pain in my right testicle and my right knee at the same time.
Doc you've gotta help me.

I have a scrape on my shoulder (tripped drunk). When I push hard to take a shit, the scrape starts to sting. When I stop pushing, it stops stinging. My other scrapes (knees, arms, face) don’t do this.

What mechanism do you suppose is at work here?

>>14798532
That sucks. Bound to happen sooner or later, though, and at least the way you describe it it doesnt sound like your fault. Unsure why the hostile responses, like nigga, how can you be 100% emotionless on your first brush with life and death? Yeah you need to learn to steel yourself it but be reasonable my nigga

>>14806568
>I'm pretty sad about it but I am curious, if there have been any big advances in treating advanced/metastasized cancers. Are will we be rid of the scourge of cancer in the future?
Cancer is increasingly becoming a chronic disease, like ischemic heart disease. There are already people living for a few years after diagnosis of extensive metastasis by taking low dose oral chemotherapy and immunotherapy. As our arsenal of immunotherapy improves, it is possible that people will continue to live with cancer for many years until they die.

I doubt we will ever cure cancer (at least, not with the current paradigm of trying to target specific pathways related to cell-cycles/receptors/etc.), but it will probably become another one of those things (like ischemic heart disease) that you can live with; no doubt it will shorten your life but you will still be able to function to some extent until you get an exacerbation that kills you. It's possible your grandfather will continue to live for a few more years by doing maintenance chemo. All the best.

Is there anything I can do about this?
I am poor and have no health insurance.

If I get health insurance would they pay for surgery to remove this?

It's honestly a time to time thing, like I'm pooping rn and it's sliding out pretty painfully but I had hummus and oatmeal Wednesday and had to shit twice yesterday morning and was writhing in agony for about 5min

>>14814963
>Is there anything I can do about this?
Lifestyle change and diet can stop it's progression and maybe make it less painful, but to remove it you need surgery

Hemorrhoid cream. Also I heard putting a butt plug in the fridge and shoving it up your bum can provide some relief. That's what my dad said who suffers from hemorrhoids.

Should I just try to get into medical school? The more I look at it, the more radiology seems like a perfect profession. High pay, and tons of time off. It's what my mom wants too, and my parents would pay for med school. That being said, med school and residency seem... rough to say the least.

Do not worry anon, that patient is literally in a much better place. I know it is taboo to talk about among us doctors, but there is actually a lot of evidence from NDEs that there is an afterlife. Of course, there is nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, that gets normies and NPCs more uncomfortable and/or riled up than the idea that near-death experiences are ACTUALLY real, and that there is good reason to think that they are and that we should take them seriously.

For instance, here is an extremely persuasive argument for why near-death experiences (NDEs) are real:

https://youtu.be/U00ibBGZp7o

It makes a huge deal about the fact that near-death experiencers (NDErs) are representative of the population as a whole, and that when people go deep into the NDE, they all become convinced. As this article points out:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist

>"Statistics collected ... show that the "deeper" the NDE ... the greater the percentage of those who come away certain of the existence of the afterlife. Among those with the deepest experiences ... 100 percent came away agreeing with the statement, "An afterlife definitely exists"."

Since NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and they are all convinced, then 100% of the population become convinced that there is an afterlife when they have a sufficiently deep NDE themselves. And so would you, me, or anyone, including the most dogmatic atheists and skeptics, because it is VASTLY more self-evidently real than this puny little experience of life on Earth we have now. When you dream and wake up, you immediately realize that life is more real than your dream. When you have an NDE, the same thing is happening, but on a higher level, as you immediately realize that life is the deep, deep dream and the NDE world is the real world.

Needless to say, even physicians, neuroscientists, and psychiatrists are convinced by their NDEs.

Read this earlier. Massive fuck ups on the hospital's part, but at the same time it's the child of an obnoxious journalist who thinks her family is so quirky and special and destined for greatness. Did you notice the part where she boasted about her retard kids banging pots and pans outside to clap for "are NHS" along with every other retard upper class liberal in her neighborhood?

How many humans have already died on this earth? How many more are yet to die? The picture she paints of her perfect little normie family and destined-for -greatness normie daughter is too obnoxious for me to feel pity.

Something I've noticed in medicine is how shit we treat addicts and the very poor despite constantly telling each other how we shouldn't marginalise them. I guarantee you there's a hell of a lot more preventable deaths there than preventable deaths of wealthy journalist's children. I pity the former, not the latter, and I doubt that woman gave a shit before her kid died. She was clapping for "are NHS" right up until the systemic failures hurt her perfect normie family instead of some stupid IVDU got whose parents beat the shit of him when he was a kid.

All this being said, fuck the retard hepatologists who missed barn door sepsis, DIC, and a critically ill decompensating child. Probably deskilled in everything but boasting about how they "work in a London hospital with kiddies who have had liver transplants, darling...". To proud to involve real doctors, the intensivists.

why does cannibalism causes prions? why do those proteins misfold? do they get from guts do bloodstream and misfold there and then deposit in brain? what is the process? and why is it different from eating normal meat can anyone who understands the process enlighten me?

>>14818962
>why does cannibalism causes prions?
It doesn't. Cannibalism (and consumption of nervous tissue in general) spreads prions.

>why do those proteins misfold?
Random chance, more or less. Something along the line of the central dogma (the conversion of DNA to a function protein) goes wrong. A prion specifically is a conformation of the protein that is more energetically favorable than the functional variant (which means it is more stable), and (most importantly) it also causes functional variants of the protein to misfold on contact.

The stability of the prion means that it is hard to denature the protein, for example by cooking. The fact that the prion causes normal, functional versions of the prion protein to also turn into prions makes it infectious.

>do they get from guts do bloodstream and misfold there and then deposit in brain?
The protein that (mainly) causes prion diseases in mammals is called PrP, or prion protein. When this protein is produced, it may (somehow) take on the prion isoform instead of the functional isoform. This protein is only really present in nervous tissue.

>what is the process? and why is it different from eating normal meat can anyone who understands the process enlighten me?
When you eat infected nervous tissue, it is absorbed into your body. There is no cure, and once you are infected you will die. Avoiding prions is relatively simple, however. Just don't eat nervous tissue, and don't eat diseased looking animals.

>radiology is high volume, and you eat while working
Indeed, this is what I have heard. High focus during the 8-5, 50 studies a day at very quick paces, never leaving the hospital while on call, etc.

But, the upsides are immense. No patients, for one. You certainly have a better lifestyle than surgery (though is that really saying a lot?). I've been told (secondhand) that radiology/interventional radiology is a good field to get into, according to radiologists.
I'm also interested in pathology for a lot of the same reasons.

Why aren't ultrasound the first go to tool for a diagnosis?

I'm wondering why doctors in this vid didn't just do that, instead of always to diagnose the problem just by using their naked eyes.
https://youtu.be/kJEg2dthMBE?t=472

I've had issues in penis where doctors could have more easily figure out what's going on if they made me go through an ultrasound, (in this case some level of Peyronie disease).

Fixed.

>>14821555
what i meant was: to get prions is it exclisively only possible through cannibalism or can happen without cannibalism if you eat nervous tissue of other species(also implying that animal didn't cannibalize either)?

What happens if you don't re-align and set a bone after a minor fracture? Like take this picture for example.

Do osteoclasts eventually clean up the excess bone on the sides after the break grows together or would it be stuck there fucking your hand up permanently?

Big time research doctor here with a big name university here. We just stumbled across some very startling yet exciting news news regarding how to prevent suicide in children.

Understand that transgenderism wouldn't be a problem if the West would just fight back against subversive enemy propagandists by flooding 100% of mainstream media with hardcore child porn and bestiality to combat the problems caused by censorship of these things. This should have been day 1 if you wanted to remain a sovereign nation, because right now VOLUNTARY Western censorship is promoting this child genocide of transgenderism...

>Child sexual abuse is 218% more effective at preventing suicide than transgenderism.
>Child sexual abuse is 218% more effective at preventing suicide than transgenderism.

Trans-doctor here. As a real doctor, it's easy to just go around in a lab coat molesting children and getting paid money to do it. As long as you pass (stethoscope, clipboard, etc.) everybody will respect your doctor-identity and just give you their children to molest and give you money too.

I find it odd that more medical professionals don't understand that trans-doctors are real doctors, because I was forced to open my own private practice due to institutional discrimination and bigotry against trans-doctors within this field at major institutions, so watch out. Otherwise, thanks to extensive support from the federal government, any people who seek to legally question my legitimacy as a doctor find themselves entrenched in expensive legal proceedings, charged with hate crimes, and eventually involuntarily committed into mental hospitals due to their insane and delusional belief that trans-doctors are not real doctors.

Thankfully commercial institutions such as pharmacies are very open-minded and are more than happy to respect my very legitimate qualifications. That being said, surface level support of trans-doctors often doesn't extend to their abliity to fill some trans-FDA-approved medicines such as prescription child sexual abuse for treating suicidality in children.

In all irony, even FDA approved treatments such as prescribing methamphetamine to treat obesity and ADHD are so wildly policed that I'm forced to establish my own pharmaceutical manufacturing firm just to provide adequate FDA approved treatment for my patients at an affordable cost.

It's not hard to understand why the institution wants more suicidal children and more obese people, because if we actually cured these people, like I do with my private practice, then these institutions wouldn't be able to milk these cash cows for 60+ years. It's almost as if the cis-doctors have forgotten that we're here to help people and cure them, not to exploit them for money.

former radio/path here. Not an MD, but an MS with a PMP
If you do pathology, avoid hospital pathology and find your way into one of the companies. Hospital path sucks fucking nuts if you're someone who's driven by actual legitimate interest in the field but don't want to have patients. You will see one billion breast and prostate biopsies. Your eyes will be gone within 4 years and your colleagues will find you dead at your desk, your microscope embedded in your eyesockets. Surg/path is a death sentence and every ME you meet WILL enjoy being pissed and shit on, because they lose their ability to be disgusted by things. Your path rotation will mean nothing if you don't do it somewhere like NY, Balto, Chicago, LA, or other large city. Slots are limited.
Path and radiology suck in some respects and are awesome in many others
If you do research (not gay paper generation, but pre/clinical/R&D) you will see a fuckton of cool devices, a fuckton of shitty devices, and gain more familiarity with the human body than any other professional. Double this for radiology/radiopath because if you're technically minded and have a 3D brain, no one will know what you do or how the fuck you do it and companies will pay you millions of dollars to help design their studies.

your options are:

>die three months after you were destined to die, with cancer

there are so many mutually conflicting mechanisms at play that make "life extension" a farce that anything beyond "stay healthy and avoid stress" is someone trying to scam you and investors out of money.

Imagine you saved one of your eSC's containing an unmodified library of your DNA. You go and replace every cell with this DNA to get rid of mutations. Congratulations, you just deleted your body map and now none of your cells know where the fuck they are beyond context clues. You also just sudo rm -rf'd all of your immunity because every V(D)J recombination has been deleted. You just also gave yourself cancer because certain CTCF and Cohesin binding sites are intentionally methylated to prevent transcription for certain cell lines.
Consider cancer: You now have a way to directly target a cancer cell line with a PERFECT CAR T therapy. Whoops! The T cells can't get to the core of the tumor because it's necrotic/hypoxic. So you use VEGF and HIF1a to grow blood vessels into it. Congratulations! Natural selection just gave you cancer cells resistant to your CAR T cells and now they're circulating
Consider heart disease. CAD, at its basest level, is mediated by shear stress. So what, you're going to reduce vSMC ability to remodel inside blood vessels? Congratulations! Now you've eliminated adaptive intimal thickening and have a coronary pseudoaneurysm.

We're meant to die, trying to extend human life beyond 100 years is a fool's errand.

Your lungs aren't so sophisticated that you only breathe in oxygen and only breathe out co2. It's the ratio that matters. While you're breathing in co2 that was waiting to escape can do so. Please think about things yourself before asking a question with such an obvious answer.

>>14831659
So when I breathe in that creates an unbalanced ratio if O2 to CO2 in the blood in my lungs and that's why I feel good?

>>14831527

Your blood has higher co2 concentration than air, when you breathe in you are letting in air, so co2 moves out of the blood into the lungs

Quite likely. With our current understanding of ADHD it wouldn't be a stretch to say pretty much anyone who responds well to the stimulant medication has it, either way if it helps you out, no matter what you have you're justified in taking it.

The reason why I mention the first part is that pretty much any condition left undiagnosed over several years will make you fatigued which causes lack of motivation which causes a bunch of other ADHD stuff eventually turning fully into ADHD, this is why so many people have it and there's such wide variation in symptoms because so much shit goes by unnoticed in the medical world, especially neurological issues.

I'm adamant that the ADHD I and the rest of my family has really comes from many weird untreated neurological issues, but nonetheless the meds help so I still take them.

I have ADHD and can relate a lot to you. Many substances will just randomly change their effects on me.

Caffeine used helped me sleep for a short period of time, then it started working normally, then when I was going off my SSRI Zoloft it caused really intense lightheadedness and nausea. Everything I try either works for just a couple of days or not at all.

The only thing that works consistently is amphetamine, albeit it always works too fast and will make me crash after a couple of hours, I'd bet money on it being the same for you.

One possible theory I have for all of this weirdness is some weird neurological issue with D2 receptors and/or other receptors/transporters which results in abnormal glucose consumption of the brain and other parts of the body.

Yohimbine might also help you as unlike all other stimulants which will mess with blood sugar by spiking it, yohimbine's unique mechanism on alpha 2 receptors actually helps regulate blood sugar. It's still nothing compared to amphetamine for me, but is still the only other stimulant that has a consistent beneficial effect for me.

Turns out disrupted D2 receptors signalling in the nucleus accumbens is involved with compulsive feeding behaviors in mice. I don't have BED but I've always thought my troubles could be related to the D2 receptor for various other reasons, my mom actually has bad RLS and the medicine she uses to treat it is a D2 agonist.

How is homosexual fellatio even different from heterosexual fellatio?
Also women are always dying from pregnancy. At least nobody dies from homosexual fellatio.

'HIV virus'.
More women die from pregnancy than die from HIV/AIDS in the country in which I reside.

>>14835787
Pregnancy is a natural and necessary course of life phenomenon. Sucking a guy off is not. Go see a doctor irl if you want a second opinion.

>>14835840
The 'it is natural' argument is hardly convincing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-reproductive_sexual_behavior_in_animals

'Animals have been observed to engage in sex for social interaction bonding, exchange for significant materials, affection, mentorship pairings, sexual enjoyment, or as demonstration of social rank. Observed non-procreative sexual activities include non-copulatory mounting (without insertion, or by a female, or by a younger male who does not yet produce semen), oral sex, genital stimulation, anal stimulation, interspecies mating, and acts of affection, although it is doubted that they have done this since the beginning of their existence.[2] There have also been observations of sex with cub participants,[3] same-sex sexual interaction,[4][5] as well as sex with dead animals.[6]'

Animals also suck each others' penises.

Also do you know how expensive babies are? Not everybody is a billionaire like you are. I am poor, so I need to earn money by being other men's boyfriend. Regardless the job is fun.

It has never been anywhere worthwhile in the first place. Most medicine we only have a small understanding of why it works, we mostly only know if it does or doesn't work.

why do spinal anesthesia instead of general anesthesia? don't spinal injections cause insane headaches

>>14834901
It's kind of ridiculous, all the cut and clear memorizable stuff can be diagnosed through internet searches or AI, instead of teaching med students how to recognize all the oodles of easy shit, they should focus on treating and solving the medical issues that don't fall into a clear-cut set of symptoms and treatment.

When someone has a symptom you've never seen before, even if it's not a serious symptom, you're supposed to ask why, not just mindlessly brush it off.

I come from a family of unknown medical issues and in my time researching more about what could be going on, knowledge of all those other common diseases and disorders has come naturally to me as to know what something is you have to know what it is not.

medanons, I need your help. I'm doing HRT since 6 months. But I haven't developed any tits yet. How long does it usually take until you can see progrees?

I only recently realized I had phimosis since childhood. It's not at its worst stage (can open the glans when not hard with just a bit of pushback, but can't open it fully when not hard in most cases).
I don't want circumcision unless it's the absolute last resort. I've been applying a non-steroid cream just to do some stretching exercises but not sure if it's helpful or not.
Thinking of picking a steroid cream to make the ring stretchier, but can't go to the doc now so I will be picking and applying stuff on my own.
Any recommendations? What do I look out for?

>>14834901
no idea b&b is absolute dogshit, but most med students don’t actually care about learning medicine properly, they just want to pass their boards so they can focus on pumping out more worthless garbage papers and sucking cocks to increase their chances of getting into their desired subspecialty program

how do you differentiate between proper science and tabloid science when even major reputable journals have garbage?

>>14795159
Hey, I got sick with something a little unusual, don't know how long I had it because I felt sharp shoulder and side pain from pressure inside my chest for a while but thought it was from work.

Turns out I had streptococcus intermedius growing around the outside of my right lung and the buildup of pus mass had my lung down to half capacity.
I could barely eat a tiny amount of yogurt each day and nothing else without throwing up for two weeks, I was getting a new job and didn't have insurance at my old one, so I was waiting to go into a clinic until then.
They ended up keeping me in a pulmonary ward for a few weeks and put a tube in my back and put in medicine to break up the pus and drain it and all the liquid out.
They had no clue how it got into my chest but said it sometimes happens with diabetics which I'm not diabetic so dunno.

Anyways, I'm curious so feel free to wildly speculate with no qualifications or experience or education: Do you think it would have eventually killed me if I didn't go to the hospital, or would my immune system still have won eventually and slowly reabsorbed the pus etc over time? I was very weak from not eating but I was still drinking a bit each day and taking a vitamin gummy, and occasionally I managed to eat a small meal along with the yogurt without throwing up, but not most days, maybe once every five. I lost fat obviously and didn't look great, but it wasn't getting much better or worse as far as I could tell, just muscle aches and pain around the area of the chest and shoulder, shortness of breath, some on and off vertigo and general exhaustion. Other than that I felt fine, mind clear, etc. My oxygen got a bit low in my sleep when I first got to the hospital, but not super low.
Would this always be a death sentence in pre-modern times, or if not what odds would you give me, and what would my death have been like, or what permanent complications would I have suffered if I recovered naturally?

>>14817228
So what happens to all the people who say they stopped being religious BECAUSE they didn't get one while medically dead for minutes on end, just an empty feeling like time lapsing, or darkness, sort of like seven second memory guy describes his sense of past time as, while saying "I've been dead the whole time since my illness", etc?
I'm not asking to be contrarian, I'm asking because I personally know two people fitting this description and also there was someone who I really would like to think didn't disappear from existence, if I have a good reason not to

Does medical and psychiatric (>implying many things) need to make a formal, global declaration that PTSD can ONLY and ONLY be acquired when a physical component is involved? I mean, personally, I don't think it needs to be (for example, solitary confinement. But then again, this can be very readily/constructively be construed as a physical part as well, so it actually strengthens the case somewhat), but the rampant self-diagnosis or also actual diagnosis by talentless 105 IQ psychologists, leads to actual mental problems and a worse mental health climate in general. This post is no essay, but the alternative is various ways to deal with psychological histories that do not involve believing one to have some permanent, nearly insurmountable hurdle placed in your life. It's, to a very large degree, a matter of perspective, and your mental health adapts to this productive or warped perspective.

Well, you see, they had seen what humans with unbroken bones looked like, and they had seen bones of no longer alive humans. Especially doctors. Because they worked closely with gravediggers. Who often turned out old graves, too, either due to space constraints, by accident, or for some investigation or relocation of remains.

>>14841570
It's a contrived point to make, the problem with diagnosis of PTSD isn't what causes the symptoms, so much as the symptoms exist. Whether or not the perceived threat/event that caused the PTSD was real or not real is not important in terms of initial diagnosis. Initial diagnosis is entirely based on impact to the patient. The trigger/cause of said PTSD, has more value in terms of treatment, especially in CBT.

I bought Gray's Anatomy, 15th Edition (1901) for the illustrations to use as inspiration and reference for artwork. Now I'm interested in reading bits of it, and using it to learn from, but is it gonna be an issue using a 120 year old reference book?

This is addressed in that book actually. The tl;dr boils down to the fact that when you come close to death (but survive), there is roughly a 1/6 chance that you will have an NDE, and it is basically random who gets one each time. So 5/6 who come close to death will not have an NDE. Some of those 5/6 do lose their religious or spiritual perspective because, when they came close to death, for them, "there was nothing there." However, since it is random each time you come close to death, if that same type of person comes close to death again and have an NDE that next time, they will be convinced that there is an afterlife. So it is not whether someone comes close to death and has an NDE or not that is the crucial issue here, since 5/6 will not have one. Rather, it is how the really deep NDE is always seen as really that of an afterlife by people when they do have it, even by hardcore atheist neuroscientists, and even if during previous close brushes with death they did not have an NDE and were thus more certain of atheism/materialism/oblivion afterward. The really deep NDE, no matter what a person believes, or why they believe it, or what a person has experienced during previous close brushes with death, always convinces all people that there is an afterlife. Always. That is why the book here >>14817228 is so sure of itself. But the book develops this further so I definitely recommend it if you want to dive deeper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W4RQBFZ/

Spinal anesthesia understood as in intrathecal anesthesia produces PPDH very rarely. In my place we only do intrathecals with 25-27G needles so none of our patients end up experiencing PPDH.
Epidural injections with a 17G touhy AND accidental dural puncture are on a league of their own, maybe you are talking about those.
In my country regional anesthesia is heavily favoured because many reasons. About 50% of my practice can be a neuraxial technique or a peripheric nerve block. General anesthesia relies heavily on opiods and combinations of drugs to handle an adecuate post operative pain, which, in our aging population full of comorbidities is translated on a lot of adverse effects.
But yes. Regional vs General anesthesia will always spark controversies. To some anesthesiologists is like talking about politics/religion.

Anatomy does not change. Some histological discoveries may have change some ancient anatomic paradigms but the most has been the same shit over and over again.
Matter of facts, anatomy books come slimmer and slimmer each new edition.

Is there a particular reason to start having paradoxical effects with prescribed stimulant medication after being on it for years? Same drug manufacturer.

Thought about this while in class:
In a patient having a hypertensive emergency, why not just blood let? If we drain their blood volume, it'll immediately lower blood pressure. Then we can reintroduce the blood to them over 6 hours while we treat with slower methods like vasodilators or diuretics.
Also if the patient dies, we get a bunch of free blood.

My current psych is woman and she prescribed me meds. Person that diagnosed me in childhood was a man, but the person which propagated belief I just have aspism (and later on depression) was my mother, but even if she told me I had adhd back then, she still would be opposed to medicating me
