So I have been taking Vyvanse 60 mg and caffeine everyday (Psych said 40 mg with no caffeine). I like it. But I checked my blood pressure today. And it was 166/88. Now how do I get it down without stopping stims. Cialis a good med for that purpose, if I just lie and say I have erectile dysfunction? Or something else? Any ideas?

>>15672170
>stop taking caff
>reduce vyvanse dose to prescribed level
>lose weight
>do more cardio
Or
>lie to the doc about your dick not working to get cialis which will reduce your bp by like 2 points.
Or
>have the doc take your bp, allow hom to prescribe bp meds, never informing him of your drug abuse.
Or
>self diagnose and self prescribe like a real man and buy all your drugs online. What do you need some book nerd for anyway? Webmd does the same thing

>>15672170
one sure fire way to lower your bp drastically is to kill yourself.

A 34 year old manlet presents with a chief complaint of right anterior knee pain. He hasnt shaved and he had a foul body odor. Said he went running two days prior to onset and woke up this morning with pain and stiffness. There's swelling to the tibial tuberosity, its warm, red and tender. Theres also warmth, redness, tenderness and swelling at the pateller tendon and patella. You cant test for injury to the lcl, acl, pcl, mcl or meniscies because he refuses to flex beyond 15 degrees due to pain/swelling. Positive bulge and ballon sign. Left leg is prosthetic. Your nurse took the day off so you have no vitals and all of radiology is dead. You have a hot date with prime Jennifer Connelly but she wont go out with you until youve helped this man. RICES have made the complaint worse.

So how does this work? Does the man just finger the lady until he finds a baby in there? How do you tell just from fingering somebody whether she is pregnant or not? Or does he shove his whole arm up there, I'm so confused what is going on in that pic

>>15672170
Don't worry about it, keep abusing stims.

>>15671964
Is it true that in western cuntries people can't directly go to hospital and that they need to see a general physician first who forwards them to the hospital if needed. lmao what a shitty healthcare system.

>>15673025
No this is not true

>>15673025
It's better because dipshits don't rush straight to the hospital with their disgusting peasant odor

>>15673025
There's emergency department care at a hospital, urgent care offices, and hospital care. Hospital care is where you're either admitted for a surgery or for something that requires more serious monitoring with advanced care.

>>15672228
>>15672240
>>15673001
Ok thanks for the responses, I am already relatively fit and want to continue the stims because lowering the dose makes them useless and not taking them just makes me useless. Also, would not like to kill myself, life is a 10/10 right now. But the other advice is good, I'll continue, and look into self-prescribing and/or getting Cialis by lying.

But that is later on. For now, I had another question, I have an EKG in a couple days from now. The results will be sent to the psych to determine if the prescription should be continued. Now I doubt the EKG will come back based on the situation right now and he could potentially stop the prescription. How do I, in the next 2-4 days, make the heart rhythm normal again? Will just stopping all of it for that specific day stop problems for that day or do I need to stop right now? Any other tips of bringing heart back to normal so EKG comes back normal? Does aspirin help? something else? The B.P was normal before so tips like lose weight don't work, I'm already not fat. Thanks.

>>15673487
Lol 48hr involuntary hold incoming

>>15673501
I mean I could always reschedule if there's a threat of that. But I don't see why that would happen. My PCP ordering the EKG doesn't know that I take stims. So I can always not send it to the psych if the results are that bad. And tell the PCP it's just because of excessive Caffeine.

Never trust one doctor. Always do your reseach first and always take second or third opinions from different doctors.

>>15673025
no, anyone can go to an ER
you're thinking of specialists, which are gated by the general physician

>>15672320
The gist of it is that a "hysteria" can be alleviated with what we today recognize as the female orgasm. I.e doctors fingering ladies who were crazy or deemed as such. This was a lot of work and not very cool for prestigious doctors, so the vibrator was invented pretty early.

>>15673892
>"hysteria" can be alleviated with what we today recognize as the female orgasm.
it can't, women are not men with vaginas and tits, women are women, they are different from men.
part of what makes them different from men is that women have a craving for sperm rather than just for simple sexual stimulation. sexual appetites evolved for reproductive reasons, not for pleasure.

>>15673487
basically if you aren't having Chest pain / discomfort/ feeling short of breath / fast pulse you're fine. maybe skip the dose that day if you are worried. psych can stop the drug any time they want they don't need a slightly weird ekg if you're always running out early and suddenly complaining about erectile dysfunction for someone who is "relatively fit"
take vitamin d and keep exercising. glad it's working well for ya

>>15674347
>sexual appetites evolved for reproductive reasons, not for pleasure.
Yes, hysteria is preferred to be corrected with reproduction. Main problem behind hysteric women is retention of female seed and lack of male seed. Having kids is ideal, just having sex better, but simply orgasming works as well. Since just orgasming still purges female seed, which reduces it's excess (in Hippocratic-Galenic Medicine)

Typing style indictive of a patient with a "yellow bile" excess.

>>15674751
I concur with>>15674985 very Choleric temperament. Perhaps it is because of the summer season. Try consuming more wet and cold foods, and showering in cold water more often. Stay out of the sun too much. You have an excess of hot/dry fiery yellow bile in your system. Drink more water especially to counter it. Eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid too much meat, dairy and poultry. Try to be more silent and clean as well. Get more fresh air, get some rest (no strenuous work), and wake up as early as possible.

Your problems will be cured in less than a month.

>>15675022
I concur with your prognosis. Currently, his natal Sun is squared to Mars, leading to exacerbation of his choleric temperament. This aspect should pass in 1 month.
Notably, his natal Venus is also squared by his natal Saturn, which suggests he will have few or no significant relationships.

>>15674751
Oof, I agree with the other anons. All that Bile is making you quite feminine (in accordance with the gynic nature of a choleric temperament). It is probably because of, somewhat related to what the other anon suggested, your natal Venus rising coupled with the retrograde cycle of Mars. So much so that you are now showing signs of hysteria yourself. even though you lack a uterus. The other anons have good tips for you. You should listen to them. But I suspect that the traditional therapeutic for hysteria (Provision of male seed and/or fingering) may work better for you at this point.

Yo medfags, I made a thread about a question I had so I'm just spamming here to maybe get a response faster kthxbye

>>15675831
Did you have any problems with dissecting in anatomy class (given you had that nerve damage back then)?

>>15676064
I didn't have any problems back then, however I sometimes used a non-standard grip for the anatomical tweezers when my left thumb got tired.

>>15676123
and if you choose the sugery-path how many doors do you close?

>>15676134
If I knew that I would have to ask for advice here

If you need to get a wisdom tooth extracted is it better to do it the more natural way by using brute-force or is it more likely to create problems afterwards with a more surgical method?
I saw a few being extracted on YouTube with both methods, brute-force and drilling. The YouTube video below is the drilling method I wanted to avoid. I chose to deal with the discomfort of the brute-force method because it seems more natural. Am I wrong?

>In some cases, bone can also partially cover the tooth. Using a drill, the surgeon will remove a small portion of the bone in order to expose the tooth and pull it out.

I have had the misfortune to provide anesthesia to allegedly perfectly functioning surgeons who took up to 4 hours to pull a fucking gallbladder.
Surgery is all about practicing. You'd have to outwork your peers just to get on their baseline, and aldoe it is doable it'd mean putting you in a difficult position.
Guess it depends entirely in how competitive are the surgery programs nearby you. My uncle had half of his forearm fucked up yet he is an ophtalmologists.
If you have the willpower to do so then do it. My bet is that you would not make it, since you are hesitant enought to ask the elder council of 4chong primitive ancient R1b nationalists.

>>15678285
youll earn 50k more (on average) as a family doc over a dentist, but if dentistry interests you and/or you have some other reason to be a dentist, the money isnt bad. banks will also always give you loans for whatever you want as an MD, not sure about a dentist.
it might also be easier to open up a dentistry practice and draw in customers i mean patients than opening your own family medicine practice.

>>15678332
per hour though isn’t a dentist working insanely less hours than a physician?

>>15678337
depends on where you work/what contract you sign, but from what i've seen dentists work slightly less hours. here's a random source i found in 30s to back up my belief. https://www.rockfordhealthsystem.org/doctor-work-hours-by-specialty/

Why are you asking this after you got accepted into dental school? Cold feet?

>>15678380
no my circulation is fine. I’m just kind of wondering why so many pre-meds would want that level of workload. I worked 20 hrs a week, cooked delicious meals thrice weekly, with taking full time classes, a volunteering position, working out/sports 3 times a week out and the demand is really high on my time and body but within manageability. that’s like a 55/60 ish hr work week, so I imagine if I want a good life I can’t be doing more than 45 hours a week and have a balanced life. I got much better grades (3.8 gpa) than almost all the pre-med students and my degree was biochemistry (plus the pre-dental classes) and many of them were NOT working at the time and not working out so I imagine 50-60 hour work weeks would be hell for them, and I’ve lived with close to a dozen of medical doctors throughout my time and a handful are truly living horrible lives that are clearly neglecting things like sleep, socializing and nutrition(ex Nutella and peanut butter as a MEAL 3x per day, defrosted chicken nuggets when it’s the weekend for 8 weeks straight kind of shenanigans) skinny fat huge bags under the eyes, looking 50 at age 30 kind of situation. I just feel like I’m missing something that somehow would make that living hell worth it.

Drink apple cider vinegar and/or lemon juice. Diluted in water to your comfort. Before, during or after meals and/or whenever you get heartburn. Get some digestive enzymes. I used Ortho Molecular Digestzymes for years.

Be careful what you eat. Cook and chew your food thoroughly. I mean really spend time noming down on each spoonful, actually counting to at least 30 bites per. It's likely just chewing your food a lot more solve your issue. You need to masticate a great deal in order to promote the enzymatic action of saliva so as to offload the stress in your stomach.

Stomach acid reducing medications are a literal bandaid to make you feel better temporarily at the cost of your overall health. You need acid in the system. Adding ACV or lemon juice will initially signal the body to stop squirting your throat with stomach acid and will later alkalinize your body making you feel better. ACV will promote good probiotic growth too. Also, allow your food to digest properly by taking it easy and staying upright well after you eat anything.

Anyways, in college I was cooking and well, working out daily and balanced it with full time classes, research, org leadership, and volunteering. I also did some tutoring and TA work for <10 hrs total, all together brought me close to the 70 hour mark for stuff that wasn't hobbies, relationships/friendships, and partying. Still ended up with a 3.95+ GPA in engineering.

The fact is that those other guys you see struggling probably had other demands on their time that you weren't cognizant of. End of the day, med school admissions are much more involved and competitive than dentistry and grades aren't the only thing that matters

I prefer a top down method of study. Start with Bates Guide for Physical Exam. This gives a guide on what you do when you get a patient. When you dont understand something/want more indepth understanding open a physiology and anatomy book and go over that subject. When you want to understand more open a biology and chemistry book.

4chan-science fandom has a reccomended materials area with lists of books typically used.

>>15684928
I notice that still today. I have a currently ongoing really good relationship with a Viet vet who I'm learning to shoot rifles from. He's extremely intelligent and based, but still fully supports the US establishment and it's involvement in Ukraine while still complaining about the result of it all in the younger generation. Not to get all /pol/ posting but he just doesn't think that the establishment has anything to do with the impotence of the younger generation. idk what it was, but military propaganda back in the day must have been peak. He's still very cool though. Just disagree with his warhawk-ish stances. I still love talking to old people.

>based daddy putin will chase the trannies away!!

>>15685284
It's not about trannies. It's about being in unnecessary foreign wars at the cost of your own citizenry's well being.

Lately I've noticed various American IG "influencers" shilling these supposedly top-end clinics (e.g. @prenuvo in IG) where you (a healthy individual) get a full-body MRI, and a consequent radiologist consult, for something like $3-5K in order to diagnose prematurely any sort of cancer that you may have been developing . I have a few questions :
1) do you think this sort of practice does have any sort of actual usefulness in doing what it claims to do?
2) if you had the chance, would you (healthy adult individual) get a full body MRI once every year?
3) let's pretend the US, or any other country, had an endless amount of cheap-to-operate MRI machines and radiologists do you think doing a free/very cheap nation-wide scan of every adult in a, let's say, 40-80 years old age bracket, every 5 years or so would be useful or would the amount of false positives (who would later undergo not-entirely-safe procedures like biopsies) outweigh the benefits?

>>15685381
The vast majority of people would be better served by losing weight, eating better and getting exercise. More diagnostics isnt going to help, prevention will. This is just advertising.

Can anyone well versed in lipids explain this phenomenon? I got a panel done at my last check up (22 y/o, 5’9 185 lbs lift 6 days per week ~17% bf) total cholesterol 201 mg/dL, LDL-C 127 mg/dL, triglycerides 147 mg/dL (fasting glucose 87 so I my insulin sensitive) I cut down on saturated fat intake quite a bit and retested two months later, trigs dropped to 47, total-c to 187, LDL 135. Got ApoB done that time and it was 82. How did my LDL go up if my total cholesterol went down, and I was consuming less saturated fat?

Also wouldn’t an ApoB in the low 80s typically come with lower LDL-C? What is explains this discordance?

Just learn physiology of hemostasis and I'll explain from French based sources since I'm a Moroccan medfag :
- Primary hemostasis (Hémostase primaire) : antiplatelets or Anti-aggrégants plaquettaire are used to block this step, it blocks receptors of platelets where vWF or Fibrinogen fixes.
- Coagulation plasmatique : since for coagulation to happen it's necessary to activate factor X, so anticoagulants block factor Xa (X activated), or Thrombine which is an enzyme necessary for turning Fibrinogen into Fibrine or Heparine which potenlialize the action of Thrombine inhibitor "Antithrombine III" or AntiVitamineK which blocks factors vitaminK related so no activation of Xa and no coagulation.
- Fibrinolyse : Fibrinolytics are activators of Fibrinolyse and they're derived from physiologic activators of fibrinolyse like (T-Pa; UPA; Streptokinase etc)

That's just a small résumé, you need to learn about hemostasis to understand this.

Anons the inside scoop is that it is a complete scam and entirely unethical imo. The whole body mri scans they do are shit quality and scan likely isn’t even directly read by a trained radiologist. It’s probably interpreted a midlevel/nurse practitioner and then signed off by an overseeing radiologist who probably barely glanced at it. There are certain genetic syndromes (p53, lynch syndrome, FAP, vHL, etc) which actually do warrant close mri/ct surveillance since those patients are so prone to cancers, but it’s fuck all useless for general populace.

what stethoscope do you nibbas use? I use my good old trusty 7 year old and still going strong Master Classic II. being a pediatrician, most of my peers ask me if it isn't too big for neonates. Ofc it is too big, that's why neonates have their own stethoscope near their bed for fucks sake and it's not like I consult newborns on a daily basis. it's perfect for small children -> adolescents and the push diaphragm is great so I don't have to turn to a bell for heart sounds.

I want to die again, literally every time I come back to university I get depressed like this. I have no friends, no girlfriend, I am totally alone. I lay in bed in between classes because there is nothing else for me to do. I want to go to medical school but my GPA is low (cGPA 3.38, sGPA 3.52). I'm 21 years old and I just don't see life getting better. Literally the only thing from preventing me from offing myself at this point is my family, they care about me and I don't want to hurt them. I'm miserable and at a loss.

there are other career paths you can choose, much easier that pay better. anything IT related and you'll make bank with a bit of luck. in medicine, even if you perform well you can end up in buttfuck Montana or other state and practice in the fucking mountains with no proper equipment for pocket change. plus, it's pretty hard to get a job in a big city without working like a slave and doing 48h shifts and shit like that.

depends on the spec you want to choose too. for example peds is so fucking hard in residency and the pay is just above family medicine. same goes for ID. Unless you go into some surgical subspec, you won't break the 500k/year threshold (maybe derm but derm is boring and you need to suck a lot of dicks for it).

>no bruising detected even 2 hours later

alright fucking riddle me this.
i've been working out recently and i stink. for the past month i've been taking two showers a day. once in the morning and once when i get home, usually after working out.
and i still kind of stink. like i'm sitting here now and my armpits don't smell great and if i rub the center of my chest and smell that, it stinks. and if i rub my cheeks/forehead and smell that, it stinks.

i don't understand. i use castille soap, a clean washcloth, and i'm ultra autistic with how i wash myself.

do people just stink normally? do i need to go to a doctor?

These aren't too uncommon and have occured before and healed quickly.
However, this one seemed to have trouble healing and a knot or bulge has formed atop the wound.
Seemed to contain fluid at first, feels like high pressure, but hasn't seceded in a week or so now.

I'm worried this is a permament alteration, i.e. my fucking cock is mutilated with a fucking witch's wart on it.

Please help.

What's your diet look like

>>15705468
It's probably just your own anxiety from being aware of your scent because you started to work out. You see this with adolescents in the clinic occasionally, they say that they smell, but then you can't smell them on examination. Oh well. Try using an aluminum based antiperspirant if you're not using one already.

I hope so, however, you can't really see any fluid anymore and it looks like the skin formed around it seems thick and strong.

>>15705468
The body stinks when it's either unhealthy (full of waste, toxins, etc that haven't been released) or it's cleaning itself (dumping all the waste, toxins, etc). If you want to smell good, then fast. Let your body clear itself up and you'll smell better a few days after breaking your fast if you fasted long enough. Constantly digesting food prevents the body from handling things properly, so you get backed up and you start to stink. Fasting allows the cells and resources that were being spent on digestion to go do other things.

>>15705549
Quit jerkin yer dick and quit thinking about yer blister. Leave it slone and go do other things. You'll be fine as long as ya quit it and leave it alone. If you need a release, go find a cute girl and get yer dick wet. It's the only way.

>>15707543
peds resident here. you have to trick the fucker. before the consult, if the patient is nervous or agitated, I use a stuffed animal and give it to them to play with until they become comfortable. I also use stickers as negotiation tools. If nothing works and they still cry, I will go to YouTube and find children songs to keep them busy. Some of the kids will simply not give in to any of these mainly because their parents are idiots and tell them that if they don't behave, they'll get an injection or something of the sort.

Also, talk to the kid, play with him a bit, talk to the mother or father if the kid is very anxious so he gets comfy around you. It depends on the setting too. you can't expect a kid in a peds ER to behave since every single little fucker is crying their lungs out.

>>15707543
you could probably give them a gentle shake until the screaming reduces in volume

The actual clinical medicine is fun and I love it, whether it's treating deteriorating patients when you're on call on ward service, or picking up subtle signs leading to a diagnosis, thinking through a case from first principles to help develop a treatment plan and the appreciation your patients show you when you show that you actually care (by doing your job properly). The sense of being part of an ancient tradition and guild, and having collegiality with your coresidents and being part of a hierarchy with your bosses (if they look after you) is just an amazing blessing. No other profession can match that soul.

That being said, the paperwork, bureaucracy, retarded midlevels, nursoids and allied health, the workplace politics (usually instigated by the aforementioned retards) makes it all too tiring

be as friendly as possible, I like to show them my stethoscope and give it to them as in it doesn't hurt. Then with the penlight I do the same, I flash it a few times, then I give it to the mom, and so on. if you have patience, you'll do well in peds. there are kids that do like doctors and I had one in the ER that LOVED the ibuprofen oral suspension (it was marketed as peach flavored but when I tasted it, it tasted like maple syrup combined with toothpaste) and he was so fucking funny when he asked for more.

Is oral HPV transmission 100% during oral heterosexual sex?

Is it possible to test for HPV in men? I am not sure how commercially available DNA testing is for HPV and if it is even available for men.

>>15708903
they have a (((vaccine))) that will prevent like, 9 different hpv strains.

i'm german but i don't know anything about that. not that i would need to know, because im german...
youre better off asking people that are not german but live in germany.
there's a couple i follow on instagram that moved from russia to berlin and they live and work there using English as a main language. so i know it's possible somehow.
you probably need to find a company that specifically hires internationally, because most businesses really don't do that.
the company i work at recently got some job applications from india and china and my bosses laughed it off, saying they won't hire anyone that doesn't speak german.
