Misc question but I was admitted to a psychward where they restrained me and then apparently injected me with haldol. I had asked them, it was a nurse team and doctor, what it was and they said it was indeed haldol too but I did not feel calmer after the injection. Could they have injected me with something else other than what they told me, like the vaccine? I'm just wondering, no I'm not a schizo it was some retarded altercation that I accidentally got myself into no I'm not going to explain.

Working at the hospital is retarded. Going into a specialty that only allows you to work at a hospital is retarded.

Do you need an MD to get into medical research? I was looking into my uni's medical research publications and most of it is mostly not even medicine. various imaging tech/methods research, computer modelling, biohybrid(?) technology, neural computation, virology, sustainability, etc.

>>14959933
Doctors don't intentionally kill people. Most medical malpractice deaths are due to people dying from their life threatening illness that weren't adequately treated in the first place.

Medicine is an incredibly hard profession and doctors are expected to put in long hours often for poor pay at the start of their careers. Young doctors will make mistakes and so will older doctors at times. No system can ever function perfectly. The reason why we tolerate errors in our health system is because we know they are inevitable and we know we'd be much worse off without healthcare.

>>14959918
These studies that show that hundreds of thousand people die from "medical errors" are retarded because they simply look at the number of patients that died of "adverse event" or "preventable adverse event".
"Preventable adverse event" is a fucking retarded concept and is not a synonym of "malpractice".
Lets say someone comes in with a heart attack, but I work at a small hospital that does not offer percutaneous coronary intervention. This guy had his heart attack since 1 hour ago and sending him to a hospital with a coronary care unit will take a couple hours.
The medically correct decision is to start thrombolytic therapy. Oh but he suffered a stroke as a side effect and now died because of the stroke (he would've died if we didn't treat him with thrombolytics anyways).
This is classified as a """Preventable adverse event""" since technically it could've been prevented if our small hospital had a coronary care unit (which might be unrealistic). The patient might've died during PCI anyways.
So yeah, fuck off with your bullshit statistic of "Doctors are killing hundreds of thousands each year".

Careless patients are essentially saying
>Look, I am a human, specifically an adult human. No matter what you do now -- in fact, never seeing a single doctor in my life and being thrown into a semi-starving, semi-warring, semi-sanitary shanty town -- statistically, I'll still live way past 50. So if I am like 30, mathematically allow me for the shits to not be given, at all.

Whereas the hypochondriac is like
>Look, I am a human. I am intelligent enough to unlock a new superpower of stupidity: I can become a slave to some quasi-performative internal monologue (aka reciting scripts, like some automaton spitting out a log of its currently running subroutines).

How long does skin cancer take to develop? I am using a home UVB device without a doc checking me out. I think I overdid it and got a small red itchy discoloration below the area where I use the light. Been a few weeks and it hasn't left, though I'm still using the light. It's been one month since I used the light, daily for a bit more than a week until I hit about a minute and now I'm using it 1:40 every other day (for about 2 more weeks).

1 Month has passed total.

The thing is, I have psoriasis on my face and it seems to be helping. But I'm scared that I'm fucking myself up.

>>14960451
Also, how often do you guys see patients that fuck themselves up with self-treatment? I'm embarassed to be honest, but imagine having psoriasis on your face for >5 years. It's fucked my social life up, I even avoid supermarkets. So I'm desperate as fuck.

Quick question. While going out with my mother yesterday, I noticed that she had what looked like fluid moving around in the pupil. It was swishing back and forth and reflecting light. She had cataract surgery in January. I'm shitting my pants about it, but she's wanting to wait for the next 2 weeks for a routine visit she already has scheduled at the eye doctor. I've tried to convince her to call the office early and have one of the nurses get back with her, and hopefully have the doctor decide on whether he should see her earlier but I have no way of knowing that she did. What level of drive over to her house and attempt to haul her into ER am I on?

I made a thread about this but, perhaps as expected, the replies are dogshit. 4chan filters some of my links as spam but the paper is open access titled:

"Disrupting biological sensors of force promotes tissue regeneration in large organisms"

The research is rather promising. Wounds in pigs were healed in such a way that scarring was noticeably less. A histogram of the skin was taken and they had real statistical differences between wounds healed with this compound (VS-6062)
and healed with normal methods.

Im curious about how this would apply to already existing scars. In my head you could just take a scarred person, excise a portion of scar tissue surrounded by normal skin, put the VS-6062 Hydrogel on it, bandage them up and call it a day.

However, at least to me it does beg an interesting question. Firstly can you just bandage up an open wound and send a patient off? Sure, it's not best practice, but can it be done without high likelihood of infection?

Normally you'd stitch a wound. The problem I have with this is that it seems like to remove extensive scarring, you'd have to stitch a bunch of wounds. And my understanding is that if you continue to remove skin (which is what stitches do is bring healthy skin together so avscar is small among other things) eventually the skin will just get too tight and constrain movement or rip.

No, they've been there prior to my adhd medication. Ritalin seems to help relieve some of those like tingling/numbness in extermities, muscle spasms/rigidity, insomnia/lack of restful sleep, back pain, headaches (usually triggered by not falling prey to urge to overeat), memory recall, lack of satiety/ceaseless hunger and impulse control

There's a girl at my med school who was always the centre of attention. She wants to do neurosurgery and she's extremely motivated to attaining that future. She's currently taking three years out to do a phd. On top of that, she was probably to hottest girl in my year objectively speaking. What's the point when someone like that isn't your gf? But I do sometimes think, would she even have any time for you? It seems like work is her whole life. But then, she has the same slutty traveller pics on instagram. So is she enjoying life more than me, while also achieving more than me?

Why the fuck would you want a girl like that in the first place? She sounds like a neurotic, insecure, and competitive cunt that always has to one-up people. They also want to be just like the boys thus they reject other girls and try to only cooperate with us, something she is incapable of in the first place. Guess what there are several of them in every med school.
I had an Erasmus redhead from Spain like that in my fifth year. She was hot, and obviously knew her shit, but god she was annoying. It was impossible to cooperate with her during emergency med because she just refused to work as a team. I went from wanting to fuck her to raping her violently.

It is probably nothing to worry about, or it is just some musculoskeletal pain. Go to a doctor and he will get an ECG, do spirometry, give you a quick exam, he might also take a blood test, but he will probably conclude that it is musculoskeletal pain and tell you to come back if it gets worse or refer you to internal med if he is insecure. Also, your age, do you smoke, do you exercise regularly, are you on any meds, did you take the vax, family history of vascular and heart disease, do you have diabetes, your diet, and your blood lipid levels?

I drink water out of one of these gallon jugs, and I refill it with tap water. After about a month of two, black mold starts to build up in the mouth area, because it's got these ridiculous Montgomery Glands that make it impossible to really clean it out. I still drink out of that for a long time, at least a few weeks, and once there's a "cookies and cream" style appearance, then I start to consider changing it, not because I "feel sick", but just because I feel guilty due to social expectations and since "It's only $1 so I shouldn't be upset about changing it out"

I'm just coming to say that all of this nonsense like "This that or the other gets you sick", it's just hypochondria most of the time. There's nothing about mold that makes you sick. It doesn't even affect the taste of the water. It's just normal, and I've never gotten sick from that.

The crazy paranoia of people saying "oh that's bad and will make you sick". It's just ridiculous. I'm stariing at you, 100% not sick at all, and I've done this for fucking 15 years, and you're just telling me "that will make me sick", despite having absolutely nothing to justify this argument beyond some irrational childlike fear of "omg scary black mold stuff".

Doctors need to come out and say "This laundry list of "spooky germs" won't make you sick unless you're a massive pussy or have AIDS or some shit, so stop complaining about it or stop being a pussy or stop having AIDS".

If you want to get a ballpark answer, try calculating how much UV from sun exposure you'd get for, say 1 hours outside (there are some nordic countries that actually use those machines in lieu of sunlight during the harshest winter days)
Then compare it to your machine, and see the order of magnitude you're exposing yourself to

actuall not that often, but those cases usually get talked about a lot
what often happens is this
schizo dipshit reads that doctors are bad from dubious grifter website
grifter website also happens to conveniently sell the miracle cure evil doctos don't want you to know about
schizo dipshit buys cure and overabuses it because after all grifter website certainly couldn't hold nothing but absolute perfect knowledge about healthcare

From a medical point of view, should genital herpes be a deal breaker? Also, should I continue dating my gf who is trying to get into med school right now for surgery?

>>14968705
>should genital herpes be a deal breaker
would be for me, meds lower but do not eliminate risk of transmission

>>14968705
>Also, should I continue dating my gf who is trying to get into med school right now for surgery
marry her and become a house husband. sounds based working is shit

>>14968705
the herpes itself isn't such a big deal. just don't have sex when they are in flare
but you should be wondering about the conditions that may have caused infection with such herpes. don't date sluts especially those who are wannabe surgeons

>>14968705
>should genital herpes be a deal breaker
Yes, she's a disgusting whore and you will get infected, which is a pain in the ass. Having genital Herpes is not fun.
Anyways, it should be a dealbreaker already since she's not a virging
>continue dating my gf who is trying to get into med school right now for surgery?
No, she will cheat on you in residency, ESPECIALLY during surgery residency. She will have to pull 80+ hour weeks and her Chad friend at work will be there to forget about being tired.

>>14968707
I mean herpes definitely isn’t attractive. I think it becomes a deal breaker if I know I’m not gonna marry her because I don’t want to have to explain that shit to girls I date.

>>14968710
She’s a California girl so their idea of healthy and normal sex life is sort of skewed. She is a good girl though in terms of loyalty. Super sweet and pretty. Loves me a ton. Honestly I don’t feel a super strong connection which is really fucking with my mood and productivity. It’s weighing on me heavily.

>don’t date sluts especially those who are wannabe surgeons
Pls elaborate

>>14968707
>>14968717
huh? I thought you needed blisters to be infectious? I got oral herpes when I was 3 years old from some girl kissing everyone at kinder. never infected my partners because we stop kissing when I'm blistered

>>14968723
>She’s a California girl so their idea of healthy and normal sex life is sort of skewed.

Also she may sleep with senior surgeons if she believes it will help her career. Or if they have better quality of living/income etc.

>>14968726
You can pass Herpes even if you don't have blisters.
It is are also very infectious right before the blisters appear and after they disappear.

>>14968727
Fuck off with your extremism. Lemme guess you’re waiting for your trad waifu

>>14968726

Dude she already works in a hospital around some of the best surgeons in the world. This isn’t a new world to her.

>>14968737
I have a trad waifu though.
Anyways, there is a difference between being willing to marry someone that has had a sexual past and marrying a whore from California with a "skewed idea of a healthy and normal sex life" and with genital herpes that will go to surgery residency.
How can you be so oblivious jesus christ.

>>14968743

>>14968743
>some of the best surgeons in the world
Giga cope, most of the best surgeons don't work in a shitty californian Hospital, they are in private practice
>This isn’t a new world to her.
Cope, being a resident pulling 80 hour work weeks is much different than just being some med student on a 2 months rotation.
Surgery residency is a fuck fest and there are many men that are handsome and train a decent amount. They will share the experience of being exhausted of work and she will spend more time with them than with you at home.

>>14968753
I already know she's a giga whore, so you don't have to convince me.
Do as you wish lmao.

don't worry about it bro. most people have oral herpes anyway. it's super common

My throat hurts.

What's it called when someone faints after a sudden blood pressure drop? I had that but I don't remember the precise medical term the docs used. It might be a good idea for me to know the medical term so I can tell the doctors if it happens again.

Tinnitus is poorly understood and there's no "efficacious" treatment appart from behavioral therapy to lessen the symptoms, but a dysfunction of the cervical spine is one of the possible proposed pathomechanisms of tinitus, along with the temporomandibular joint, but nothing conculsive, so just do whatever and see if it helps, your layman strategy is as good as any at this point

>especially in hyper competitive settings like surgery people are way more cautious about sleeping with their colleagues because it can easily come back biting you in the ass further down the line
Why do you lie to people? Almost all women sleep around during residency, especially when they don't have a doctor spouse. They can't take the stress and find comfort in someone that shares the experience.

Philosophically theres nothing inherently bad I guess but if you actually choose to throw away years of training and centuries' worth of accumulated understanding of the world around us to believe in some higher power as a cope for your own inevitable demise you're not just delusional, you're a coward with no principles. You can't swear by modern science and medicine but turn your back on them in favour of schizophrenic religions made up by semitic tribes from 2000 fucking years ago. It's cringe.

Any openly religious nut should unironically need to either abandon their faith to prove they are of sound mind and character to be in this field or be forcibly barred from practicing medicine on real humans.

>>14970835
theist medfags are the most delusional people in stem.
the reasonable ones don't believe in or use any of the treatments prescribed by their religion. not only that but some even oppose it and speak against it. but at the same time they believe that this religion is unequivocally true
they knowingly hold two contradictory views. they believe that their religion is true and god is real but also don't trust, believe or use the treatments prescribed by this god.

Depends on if it's HSV1 or HSV2. The latter is more aggressive. HSV1 really shouldn't matter since it's just cold sores and most people already have them anyways meaning that you won't give your future partner genital itchies because they'll be immune. HSV1 is also very unlikely to return again (iirc about a 40% chance of a 2nd outbreak ever).

Simple as.

I asked my GP if I could get blood-work done to see whether I had any mineral/vitamin deficiencies. For a very good reason (fucking chronic skin disease that I'm suffering from for nearly a decade).

He said I didn't need it and that it's a waste of 100 bucks (I was willing to pay). Basically gave me some herpes medicine (will this even help for non-herpes diseases?) and that was it.

Is he right? Or should I ask another GP to get blood work done?
>>14967735
>check with a fucking doc then?
They don't want to help, doc said I'm on my own. I asked if it was dangerous and he said: you won't notice anything short-term, but long-term, you might get fucked (with UVB).

I have a fucking skin disease that is a pain to treat. Feel so fucking lost, which is why I'm trying shit on myself out of desperation.

>>14971604
Also, I'm in Germany and don't have private insurance. I think they send me away, because there's no money in treating me.

>>14971604

I went to the derm anon. This was after that. I went to my GP and said:
"Look, I've tried nearly everything. The dermatologist sent me away. As a last resort, can we check up on my vitamins and minerals?"
His answer:
>There's no need. One day your levels will show up good and the next, bad. No need to test.
Judging from what you guys are saying, maybe it's still worth a shot to check my blood? I didn't go after it, because he said that and persisted yesterday. I'll ask another GP I guess.

even if the blood work wouldn't directly correlate with your skin condition i'd still recommend you to do it just as a checkup, just for the fact that you're a patient with a cronic condition.

Part of me thinks it plays into the nature of medicine. I've seen jaded, greedy and selfish people in the field eventually break from the emotional strain after enough rough cases (especially rough and annoying/difficult ones).

Most scummy piece of shit I ever knew in residency always goes on about how annoying and pathetic sick people can be, "why dont they just LISTEN bro lmao". Then he's with his first dead patient, a mother of four. He went from fedora atheist to sitting alone in the church chapel in the span of 5 hours. Some people just need it to cope with all the death and pain they see. That or just have a lot of co-ed sex with other doctors.

Is this Gyno?
