Is psychiatry a good field to specialize in if you're interested in doing research?

>>16088203
There's an increasing amount of research into the biological causes of psychiatric maladies, especially in the gut-brain axis. I read a study once where rats with certain lactobacillus species being killed off by gamma-delta CTLs in the gut were much more prone to displaying depressive symptoms than the controls.

i have a home gym and i've been trying to get more sunlight as well as eat whole foods and remove processed foods but i mainly read discord and twitter. any book recommendations? maybe some books related to my illness??? or other health books?

>>16088515
Brain Energy is a good book on how metabolism relates to psychiatric maladies, and it's not too heavy on terminology. Are you looking for a more heavy read? There are certainly some neuropsychiatry textbooks I've downloaded off libgen that are great references.

Thanks. So I feel like I'm getting dumber month by year. I trip over my own words, I get things mixed up all the time like referring to a movie with another's title or referring to a character in a book with another's name. I forget things (Details, names, etc. Never my own personal history). Even my reaction times and processing speeds are slowing down (can no longer read moves in fighting games like I used to be able to).
I'm only 25. It didn't used to be like this. I used to be charismatic, clever even.
Switched from adderall to Adzenys about 2-3 years ago when the shortage started and am taking some antidepressants but amphetamines and antidepressants aren't new. Been taking them for a decade.

you are experiencing brain fog (not to say brain damage) from psych drugs. at this point it's impossible to tell if it's withdrawals, interactions, abstinence,tolerance, side effects or who the fuck knows.
talk to your psychiatrist and try to taper all that shit away very slowly. or what you are going to be taking psych drugs your entire life - how is that a sustainable option?
talk to your psychiatrist, talk to your psychiatrst talk to them. You've been taking drugs that work on your brain for a literal decade (compare if you had been drinking every day for 10 years)

Really? I mean the sads are something I deal with on and off but even when I feel fine it's like this. Is it really just depression? If so that's a colossal weight off my chest. I'm so tired of being an idiot.


>>16090508
I've been on amphetamines for so long that I don't even know who I would be without them. My tolerance has gotten so high that back when I had adderall I was taking 60mg XR a day with 15mg instant if I needed to be up past 10:00. On the days where I don't take it I just want to lie in bed and eat all day. I'm barely even human. If the "real" me is so worthless should I really try to stop?
Also I thought amphetamines are a neurotropic. Shouldn't that help with this instead of harm it? And why is it happening so suddenly despite years of use?

you've been taking the drug for 10 years, your brain has rewired it's chemistry around it. You said it yourself - tolerance. Insane to me how average people get it right but the average doctor reaches for even more meds like this guy>>16090522
>Also I thought amphetamines are a neurotropic. Shouldn't that help with this instead of harm it?
idk about that desu
>And why is it happening so suddenly despite years of use?
a possible explanation is that short term use of drugs doesn't affect cognition but long term use does - that's true for most if not all drugs with psychotropic effects
>(Not being hostile, you're the expert. I just want to understand)
i'm not a psychiatrist, but am neurology resident. i've just seen so many people referred with the weird symptoms (cognitive or a movement disorder, tics etc) 'hey doc what's up with me' and they are on a cocktail of psych meds, we do the workup it reveals nothing and we conclude it's something to do with the drug and sometimes taking them off (slowly) helped. I understand those are anecdotes.

by the way i'm not saying categorically it's the drugs for you. nor am i saying you should stop them, but you should ask your psychiatrist. am just sharing my take which is very weak over a 4chan post. I don't think it's controversial to suggest that maybe a 25 year old should try to not be on drugs forever and a day of course in cooperation with their psychiatrist

>>16090526
>Insane to me how average people get it right but the average doctor reaches for even more meds like this guy>>16090522
Again, they're not conscious being. They're golem, robots, NPCs. Any common sense they may have had, however unlikely that is, was trained out of them long ago. They're borderline weaponized. Don't trust anything that comes out of their mouth, they're agents of their masters, the drug companies. They're castrated in mind and in spirit, and fact is, you might as well add body to that list. I'd like to know these fuckers are knocked out of the game, permanently. We call it pruning the tree of life. And good riddance.

i don't even get why neuro and psych are the same board. one is rooted in actual evidence with new explosive research changing management every few years, the other is a committee written dictionary based on subjective criteria, with a non-compliant patient population that keeps getting re-admitted to the hospital

i saw a non-verbal autistic man diagnosed with bipolar disorder. or lots of people with "both schizoprehnia and bipolar" when thats not even possible. psych diagnoses just get thrown around willy nilly

family medicine is still a cult. the amount of redditors online who unironically state "it is the hardest cognitive specialty and 500k salary is easily obtainable" are mentally ill

They've never read a single book on actual psychiatric or psychological treatments, but instead latched themselves to pharmaceuticals because it doesn't require any actual extrapolation of information from complicated elucidations.

Its Developmental Psychology on a societal level, which inturn will manifest itself evolutionarilly. One of the reasons the west flourished so much was because of so much asymmetry, which causes conflict.

Balance doesnt produce extremes and Mathematical Physics is the most extreme reductionist perspective on reality, which I do.

Im not saying one way or another, it depends on the people (nation basically) and their path, its older than you or your nation or your identity...so, make of that what you will. Now if you'll excuse me I have some bong rips to roar into a ventilation fan, good day.

>Its Developmental Psychology on a societal level,
Well, I grew up believing this. Basically as above so below, as within so without, so naturally you assume man collectively goes through a prolonged process of development, separation individuation, adolescence, and so on, just as it occurs in the individual, and we're all like cells conducting this process within the greater body. I'm no longer so attached to this idea but I do understand where you're coming from.

I know it's basically what the guy in the short said but honestly I don't see why neuro and psych are distinct fields, trying to divorce the subjective experience of the patient (i.e., the manifestation of mental illness) from the physical underpinnings of their neurology (and vice versa) is like trying to divorce the physical process of a heart attack from the patient's searing chest pain. To that end, the rivalry makes no sense.

>>16092033
>I don't see why neuro and psych are distinct fields
The answer is simple, medicine was architected to not be effective. It's designed for high throughput, reductionistic and compartmentalized practitioners who function as drug dispensers and are easily trained replaceable parts for the machine. That's it, seriously. It's that simple. Allopath(et)ic medicine is 100% divorced from anything resembling a holistic perspective, they don't want people who are able to think getting in the way and screwing things up. It's that way by design, it's how the architects wanted it. And so it was, and shall be, and shall remain.

>>16092013
> Half the posts are by psych patients

A bit of an underestimate. To be fair though, I'm pretty sure you have to be a little batshit to go to grad school for either STEM or medicine. I'm pretty sure most people who are sane are smart enough to stay the fuck away from this hell.

>>16092033
>To that end, the rivalry makes no sense.
Also I neglected to mention the infighting is also deliberate. It creates drama, envy, and maintains comaprtmentalization. This has been the method of control going back to ancient Egypt. It literally never changes, it is braindead simple (KISS principle), and it works.

Humans are just that stupid. All of their most base impulses are so easily tapped and they love the sensations.

>>16092024
You don't see the problem there? I'll explain it.

Pneumonia isn't a fever, cough, phlegm and shortness of breath. It's a bacterial infection in the lung for example - it's something the pathologist can diagnose. Pneumonia as a diagnosis isn't the symptoms. A diagnosis is the process itself. That's what people mean when they say the word pneumonia it's shorthand for some physical process. A diagnosis isn't the same entity as the symptoms. STEMI isn't chest pain with ECG changes, it's an occlusion of a cardiac artery.

Depression isn't a diagnosis in the same sense as pneumonia is. Depression IS the symptoms. If you have depression then that means you have the symptoms. If you have the symptoms then you have depression. It's a tautology. When you say depression you are in some sense just rephrasing the symptoms basically.

Why do you fags turn every single thread into bitching about psyche?
Is it really true that 3/4 /med/ posters are schizos, bipolar, depressed etcetera genuinely angry that there's no miracle pill for their feelings? Fucking retards are just like 90% of my patients coming in with obesity, CHF, HTN, dyslipidemia and AKI on 12 medications refusing to change their diet or exercise and shitting their pants that I cant prescribe them into health.

>Fucking retards are just like 90% of my patients coming in with obesity, CHF, HTN, dyslipidemia and AKI on 12 medications refusing to change their diet or exercise and shitting their pants that I cant prescribe them into health.
Why do you think they believe that? It's because doctors told them so - doctors repeat the line that progress, science, drugs, technology will save us. It's something big capital, pharma, the state has created as a myth that doctors follow and perpetuate. When in fact a lot of our interventions are minimally effective or worse. That includes all psychiatric interventions regardless of the reasons being. And by getting annoyed about people 'bitching about psyche' you are shooting yourself in the foot actually.

>>16092090
The solution is to ignore them. They're not your patients, you cannot even begin to help them. They are here to get some catharsis by raging impotently at 4channers, of all people. Just let them and shitpost about nursoids, premeds, DOs, etc

Who must go?

I noticed today that the Oxford Handbook of clinical medicine is 900 pages long. A diary journal is about 300-310 pages long not including the pages for notes and things, so if all of the conditions and diseases were transferred from one book to three journals and each was one per day (or 2 per day and you did 6 journals), then you would've filled up three years and worked for that amount of time in learning all of them by the end of it which takes you to about the end of med school (and then you can spend a year learning.about the best organ)

>>16088263
Maybe it's better to look at the psychosocial causes of mental health problems. Things such as abuse, neglect, poverty, bullying, stress, etc.

Or, at least, don't neglect the psychosocial causes. Some people might well have a higher genetic risk of mental health problems for whatever reason, but psychosocial causes of mental health problems are also critically important.

>>16092081
I thought this exact same thing myself. I've been a psych patient and I was trying to think of the difference between psych diagnoses and other medical diagnoses. And what you said is exactly what I ended up thinking. "Major depression" is just a description of symptoms, not of a specific, identifiable physical dysfunction.

When someone is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, we know that their body isn't producing enough insulin. But "major depression" does not seem to be a case of the body not producing enough serotonin, for instance.

>>16092134
why are patientoids like this

>>16092540
> "Major depression" is just a description of symptoms, not of a specific, identifiable physical dysfunction.
As another example are really 3-4 distinct types of heterosexual, fully consensual, Man-Girl sexual preference that are all conflated as Pædophilia.

>>16092540
Psychiatry, in a perfect world, should be equal parts biological analysis and analytical psychology, but unfortunately the research into the biological causes of psychiatric maladies is so young that it's only at the point of correlation. There's just not enough data yet to link the two, although I'm happy to see that more and more research is being undertaken to understand potential physiological pathologies in context of actually connecting the word neuroses with biological causes, finally. Analytical psychology, at this point, is the psychiatrist's most potent tool.

Month No. 1 down of the 2023 diary

Remember my Twitter, WorldofVard. Go there. I'm going there now to post quick notes.

Who is the least trustworthy doctor?
>Reddit doctors
>4chan doctors
>TikTok doctors
>Twitter doctors

>>16093213
>All internet doctors

>>16093246
Anyone who says otherwise didnt learn from recent history or has so keen sense of reality.

>>16093249
Don't know you could say those aren't internet doctors on those internet platforms

It was an across the board failure, total, system wide, top to bottom.

Those that saw it wont ever forget it, like other days...

Glad you're not dead You are a prisoner of your own mind though
That is all (now I'll go back to ignoring it)

Realizing that the people in positions of power have no clue what theyre doing...horrifying realization.

Especially, like, getting on a plane. Have to remember humans are *all* retarded sociopaths.

>>16093256
>arnt* *all* retarded
Sleepy.
>>16093255
>You are a prisoner of your own mind though
I am a prisoner of human collective capacity for technological and scientofic understanding, I am well aware of where the bottleneck is, boy, and it isnt me....

Would I be retarded if I was doing a flowchart of things in theast section being linked together and put Endocrine Disorder (from spoon shaped nails) to pellagra? Kiolonychia is the only endocrine disorder I got to so far but is it so unrelated to the other that it'll just confuse me?

I think it would confuse me

Why'd you choose to become doctors instead of something else? Did your parents do it, you always planned to do it, or did something push you slightly over from pursuing something else?

>>16093759
The money. Grew up a poorfag so money is a huge motivator for me.

>>16093889
>If you look up and see greatness then you were never great yourself...
Again, this is a clamped take. Which is why you were denied the 888 trips. I understand the model you're operating from but it's misguided. The world is not "emergent", it's not "chaotic", it's not a cube that was made and everyone forgot why if anyone ever knew, it's not a great and mindless body destroying itself in ignorance because it cannablized its own brain. It's simply the logical conclusion of a system working as intended, it was architected for this and is still being actively modulated to remain on script and within range.

Though it could be compared to an algae bloom. However this was done deliberately as well. You're not more intelligent or emotionally detached or stronger or whatever by "facing" that the world is chaotic and humans create stories to make sense of it. That's just nihilism and a withered sense of teleogy in disguise. It's ignorance is strength, in disguise. I don't say this to attack you.

>>16093899
>clamped take. Which is why you were denied the 888 trips
Oh, youre not a serious person and have no qualifications to opine on this topic.

Why didnt you just say so?

>>16093902
Deflection, another sign of a clamped disposition. You're just following my script though. I don't want to be roped into anything and you're just reacting ina way that helps that happen. You didn't choose how you would react, I did. That's the other thing you can't accept.

>>16093902
Good luck anon. I don't disagree with your overall disposition.

>>16093906
>>16093908

should I choose nephrology, gastroenterology or endocrinology for a placement?

>>16093965
>gastroenterology
This plus all the dietary fads, gut-brain connection, has always been interesting to me. My ex-wife got celiacs, carnivore diet and the Peterson's health has been interesting, fasting and cellular regeneration, its all related and can be connect to even deeper subfields of medicine.

I kind of feel like crap food has a major, total orgamism, effect on health.

>>16093759
Initially it was spite because I had some terrible doctors when I was young, but beyond that the field always interested me and the money and job security/flexibility is pretty decent. Also I'm in western europe and I expect to be unable to really retire until I'm well into my 70s, so might as well go into a profession that I can stomach doing that long

>>16093965
>Nephro
You effectivley treat labwork all day but you get to boss other specialities around when they inevitably need you to consult. Seems comfy overall
>Endo
Still a lot of labwork treatment. You'll see a LOT of diabetics and they're some of the most frustrating patients. The 30-40% of cases that aren't diabetics can be pretty interesting though
>Gastro
If you don't mind dealing with feces and assholes it's a very decent speciality, wide range of patients, a lot of interventional applications, if you're more of a handy type it's probably a good choice

I shouldn't be in college at all, I'm clearly not ready for it, something is wrong in my brain. But my parents are forcing me and pushing me through. What am I going to even tell my parents and my sister? I got a D in the course because he didn't take my final.
I want to blow my brains out because my mind is so fucked up I hate living like this and it makes everything miserable and makes me fail at everything I do. Fucking ADHD autism depression anxiety combo
just kill me
Now what can I even do here? Beg the professor until he gives in? Will he even give in? I know for a fact he can change it. Even if I had to go to administration so they'd say he can change it.
Or I could just KMS

>>16094395
Don't kill yourself. You got a bad grade in a meaningless class. Science GPA is calculated separately for med school applications anyways. You should consider taking a break from school and focusing on your health and decide if you really want to be in school. There are plenty of things you can do other than college. I went to college at 26 and got into an MD school with a 3.89 and no research.

Try emailing the professor, the worst they can say is no.

That being said you should consider whether you really want to be a doctor. It doesn't get easier than undergrad. If you're not in the headspace to compete and get your shit in on time maybe wait until later in life.

>>16094187
Eh...I just want you to know. I scored high enough for any job the Amry but chose grunt, gun fighter.

I retired in my 20s.
:^)

>>16094407
This situation has happened like 5 times now. Once in some art class i took at community college online in highschool which to this day is an F on my transcript, once in english 101 (the class that literal foreign students who can't speak english get A's in), once in some online summer course, once in philosophy (prof changed the grade), and once in an online environmental coruse. It's like I don't even deserve the help because I don't fucking learn. My parents pay for my school and are pushing me through. I don't get to make the calls in my life, I'm 21 and still bound to them. I live with them, they pay for all my stuff.

>>16094422
I wad smart but learned at my own pace, so school wasnt for me, at your age I was working hardcore manual labor or industrial jobs. Toughen you up, experiwnce all kinds of stuff, chemicals, metals, who knows. Powders and coats.

Ive been eyeing an oil rig or Alaskan boat of some kind.

>>16094426
If you learn for a hobby its like youre already a full time student, act accordingly, dress accordingly.

>>16094426
>Ive been eyeing an oil rig or Alaskan boat of some kind.
I can't do this. I'm not fit for physical labor at all. Also my parents would only let me do school right now

>>16094422
Tell your parents they should have promised a house on a plot instead of paid vacation.

And not even anywhere cool, fucking some town over?!? You could have toired the world for that amount of money.

If cheap everything, yeah.

>>16094433
>Also my parents would only let me
Exactly, youre not even a man.

Youre 21 years old "being told" by people who have no clue what theyre doing, wasting obcene amounts of money for a degree youre not going to work in.

Ive seen it all over the world, especially Asia and US.

>>16094437
So what am I going to do? Run away from my parents and be a fucking hobo? Work on an Alaskan boat? No thanks

>>16094433
The shit Ive seen and learned on the road around the world, and I STILL know these fields better then them...

Education is free, accreditation isnt, but degrees have been devalued, dis-credited.

>>16094441
>So what am I going to do?
Exactly.

You dont have a plan. Never thought about. I dont know.

Youre institutionalized to regurgitate factoids of reality at a level you will never touch again, why are you even alive?

What is your purpose?

>>16094443
yeah welp you need a degree to get a job or get into medschool so
>>16094444
I've been doing all this BS so I can go to medical school because I enjoy healthcare and seeing patients and I want to provide my future family with a stable income

>>16094441

Ignore the resident schizo, he has no idea what he's talking about nor how to help people

I wish I could sit and talk to you in person anon you sound like a young man with a big problem that's hard to tackle on https://www.4channel.org.. Life is long, anon, and you're young. I have lots of classmates who did poorly in undergrad, went back later, and fixed their GPA up when they were more mature and are now in med school.

What I'm hearing is that you're not really committed to school right now, and that your mental health is taking up a lot of your time. You've done really well getting where you are now and you have a lot to be proud of. I don't know how I can help you with your parents, but don't give up on yourself.

>>16094455
This is just fucking horrible waking up to this nightmare of a situation where I get a D in this class I worked really hard in and getting a 0 on a 10 page final paper I worked really hard on
while my 18 year old sister chat GPT'd every single assignment and gets an A in the course

>>16094455
I traveled the world instead of going to university, and still went to class, why doesnt every student do this?!

I went to school while touring for school, and after school was more school. Lay down in bed for some bightine school, go to bed and wake up to new school.

Freedom.

>>16094458
You could try explaining to your professor why you got the assignment in late. Go to your school's student wellness department or whatever they call it and explain what's going on so they can corroborate and give the professor a reason to cooperate. If you don't get have any accomodations for your mental health then get some. University is not an even playing field if you're struggling with depression, ADHD, anxiety etcetera and accomodations simply make it more fair.

Absolutely go up the chain and try to get help from administrators.

>>16094474
I have accommodations at my university but not at this community college and they will just say "accomodatiosn can not work retroactively" fucking stupid.

>>16094477
>>16094477
Of course they can anon, you never know unless you try. You won't get what you don't ask for.

You sound frustrated and angry, which is justified. Anyone in your situation would feel the same, I have had things just like this happen too and I empathize with you.

>>16094474
God made me a person who enjoys learning, is passionate for science and medicine, but is depressed, autistic, anxious, and has ADHD
This sucks, it would have worked out better had I simply never been born. Now if I kill myself my family will be devastated unlike any depression I've ever known. so all I can do is go on existing and sulking in my misery.
>>16094483
this type of stuff has been going on for my whole academic career. it's my fault. All these girls around me get 4.0's so easily and have friends and go to parties. I have nothing, my GPA is mediocre, I have no friends, I've never been to a party

Sorry, half the doctors on the planet failed a high school health exam...its not a serious profession, he proves my point.

Its filled with know nothing tools feeding a ponzi scheme of reputation.

Rampant cheating.
Harvard is trash. Yale is trash.

Some in Europe didnt get too retarded but the poorer ones did.


I worked so hard my degree to see people making six figures with a piece of paper but know jack shit about the field.

SHIT ISNT FAIR.

>>16094485
also now I'm lying to my family saying I got a B and they're all upset and mad that I'm depressed and sulking in bed all day

IM THE VICTIM BECAUSE IM THE SMARTEST.

>>16094508
Well I'm here to listen to you. I'll read what you post. I won't provide advice, I'm not a professional therapist or anything. It sounds to me like you're going through a lot and terrified of disappointing your family. I'm sorry anon I wish things were different for you.

>>16094514
thanks, yeah it's horrible. I've already lost belief in myself. I never really believed in myself, I always knew I would not be able to do the things I want to and get proven correct constantly. Maybe it would actually be easier on my parents if I just off'd myself instead of making them see me in misery for the rest of my life

>>16094517
I can guarantee it won't be easier for them. Why don't you talk to them about this? I know I would want to know if my children were dealing with what you're dealing with.

>>16094527
They'll just get mad and upset. They're pouring tens of thousands of dollars into my education just so I can become suicidal every few months and want to give up on everything.

>>16094528

>>16093759
I'm retarded so I needed something secure and foolproof that would give good financial return and I also like school.

>>16094395
>Fucking ADHD autism depression anxiety combo

yeah dont go to med school. especially if you have autism. autistic people get screened out of residency even if they bamboozle their way into med school

PM&R is a fake specialty
>the therapists do everything
>no one understands what you actually do. "coordinator of rehab care" sounds so gay
>outpatient is completely saturated, inpatient not much better
>only makes any real money unless you do pain fellowship, which even FM and psych can do

>>16094635
It really comes down to being medical supervision for rehab programs, you still write up new patients, order meds, make sure the patients aren't at risk of croaking while the therapists do their shit and then fuck off to do paperwork. It's not high stakes work, but someone has to do it

Psychiatry has many problems:
>it can detain people against their will
>it can drug people against their will
>it doesn't do enough research into the potential harms of its drugs
I can understand detaining a person if you think they might harm others, but I don't think drugging them against their will is humane.

Psychology can be good. Psychology looks at the events in a person's life that have brought about their emotional distress. Psychiatry might say "well, genetic dispositions are important". But are they? We don't even know which genes contribute to mental health problems, or how they do so. Why don't we look at the real problems in people's lives? Bullying, financial insecurity, abuse, stress, grief, etc. These are the things that cause mental health problems for most people. It is inhumane to make a human believe that their brain is permanently defective when, actually, they are often just a victim of life circumstances. Even if it's true that some people have a greater genetic risk of mental health problems, patients don't have their genomes sequenced. So a psychiatrist has NO IDEA what the genetic risk of a particular patient is.

>>16096934
>He thinks those are problems

>>16096963
Yes, they are.

>>16096934
genetics in medicine is a meme imo
I understand some illnesses are clearly monogenic and that's important knowledge, but most of the genetics research in medicine is spitballing guesswork
like you are going to sequence the entire genome and find 100 potential risk factors lmao. Overdiagnosis would explode
this is why personalized medicine is without hope. We already are doing personalized medicine, that's why you go to your doctor.
you'll notice the hype around genes has died out a little
anyways, of course flawed genetics concepts would be hopeless with psychiatry considering psych is the worst branch of medicine anyways

You guys know how geography is basically a dead science? That's medicine to some extent.
All the big decisive stuff has been discovered - vaccines, antibiotics, immunosuppressants, image diagnostics.
Most new interventions after that are lackluster, low value and that includes genetics desu

As sensible as the analgesic ladder is, it seems awfully cruel to delay opioids in certain acute conditions.

Seems unnecessarily cruel, especially if the patient has a known condition

As well as insulin having its GLU4 receptor,
I have now seen DPP4 inhibitor also mentioned

On the thyroid page it includes thyrotoxicosis and mentions the other one as a thing it's confused with, and lists at page 203 thyrotoxicosis as a cause of nail detachment from the bed, but on the page for that (nails: 76) lists hyperthyroidism as a cause. So does Cleveland clinic
And on 62 or 72 (palamar erythema) puts chronic renal failure as a cause by it having less inactivation of vasoactive endotoxins by the liver, and this is right after it mentions hyperthyroidism in the list. But the vasoactive endochrines are stored in the posterior pituary gland, made in the hippocampus as it says in the page close.to 203 and now I'm doubting everything!


With the vasopressin being ADH/AVP,
And the (hyper)thyroidism being a different gene, different (anterior) pituary gland and the overproduction of TSH surely

What should I do as a career? I am very self destructive and prone to depression and I'm trying to beat this, I'm 21 years old now and have been fighting this since I was a kid. As a result my GPA is awful (around a 3.0 cumulative, science gpa is better at 3.45). I want to do medicine but don't think I'll be competitive enough to even get into DO. My MCAT score was 500 and I literally didn't study and haven't taken biochem or physics (me being a self destructive retard again). The options I see right now are
>Do a postbacc or masters in something hard science after I graduate and try to apply to medical school
>Become a nurse, would only take 1 year
>Become a PA (I don't like this option because I'd need 2k hours of patient care which I don't have and also a high GPA so might as well just go to med school)
>Become a pathologist assistant (only 2 years, good money from what i can tell)

If I went to medschool this is what I'd want to do but my mental health is just totally in the shitter and even if I redeem myself I don't know if schools will bother to look at my application. I failed English 101 TWICE

>>16098365
You already asked for help and got answers, asshole.

>>16098373
I don't think I did get answers, if I did then I didn't see them or forgot. My mind just keeps going back to this self destructive thinking. My gut says I should just stop being a pussy and move on with my coursework and just try as hard as I can to get into medical school. I don't know how to light a fire under my ass

>>16098375
>My gut says I should just stop being a pussy
Why are you being a pussy? Why are you being so self-destructive? You were told to resolve this before even thinking of medical school.

>>16098390
i don't know, I've just always been this way since I was a little kid. I literally have report cards from the 3rd grade saying "Anon does not hand in his work and he is his own worst enemy"

>>16098405
Fix your shit otherwise you won't get into medicine. Simple as. Now stop crying in the thread.

Why are there so many gays in the medical field? Has anyone else experienced this? It seems like every other male nurse or tech I meet is gay, and there are a lot of gay doctors too

>>16098365
optometry is an option.

>>16098365
>I am very self destructive and prone to depression and I'm trying to beat this

take some vitamin D and hit the weights

>>16098502
>and there are a lot of gay doctors too

nope.
and dont say there are black doctors either, they're just as rare

Is it really that easy to get an elective or at least externship instead of mere observership for an IMG without paying to scam mediator companies? Do they generally require shit like published papers besides your high USMLE and OEM test scores?

I just did a visual field test and just realised I have monocular nasal hemianopia.

Wtf can cause this? I only realized this now and I have my OSCE tomorrow

>>16087461
If you’re a good for nothing piece of trash you can always do epidemiology or a master in hospital administration. Being useless and justifying your existence by making everything bureaucratic and tedious is a pathway for people like you.

Med?! ??

Signed up to do more microbial ecology research this fall on how to synergistically link camphor-rich compounds like wormwood with drugs that have resistant populations.

I am good at regional anesthesia. I hate orthopedic retards. I want monis but hate with burning passion the spec that gives the ez money.
What do?

>>16099665
>Synergistic with wormwood
Praziquantel and albendazole come to mind for creepy crawlies in the GI tract

What are the best meds/drugs for forgetting something? Intrusive thoughts are getting bad.

>>16099814
10mg lexapro unironically made my self-deprecating intrusive thoughts vanish and gave me interest in daily activities again. I know SSRIs are bad, but the pros outweigh the cons for me.

>>16099814
Ketamine therapy

>>16099677
Ketamine (and fentanyl)

it was probably just a poorly run test where the trial lens wasn't situated correctly in front of one eye but was for the other or you were using the wrong chin rest for one eye.
either that or you had some damage somewhere in front of the optic chiasm or (rarely) had some sort of brain damage.

regarding your test, your visual fields overlap, so missing your nasal field in one eye wont cause that big of a problem especially if your VF was macula sparing.

This is who's talking about psychology and other shit as newfags to the thread btw. They aren't even in /med/icine
These are the pseuds spamming the thread

is it possible to get into med school if you don't do pre-med

no mice

>>16100353
Obviously. I haven't seen one actual medically pertinent psychiatric post in this general, just shit flinging and people crying about retards getting hospitalized against their will for the protection of the community.

>>16100371
Yeah but you'll need to take the pre-reqs. I have classmates with degrees in CS, Business, Physics, Criminal Justice etcetera.

None with retard degrees though, so if you're communications, math, English, history etcetera you're fucked.

>>16100431
>no retard degrees
>criminal justice
No, you are the retard.

>>16100431
>math and english are meme degrees
fuck off

Why are so many hospital administrators/ HR people such cunts? Yeah Dr. Cuddy being a bitch on the show is funny, but it’s not irl

>>16100473
Or the heartless, habitually lying, nurse.

Its...harmony?

>>16100474
It's...kill yourself already?

>>16100462
>>16100467
;) gotcha

communications is suicide though

>>16100473

That's what bureaucratization does to people. Little tyrants in their little offices.
Death to the managerial class.

>>16100498
>Death to the managerial class.
There is a place for it, the Inventor tends to be a terrible employ manager, I would be, far too empathetic.

Hence why I push people to be more resilliant, so they *could* be a student...but alas, I will not know those students...

So I teach the Magnetic Field of the planet instead.

>>16100483
More like would ignore blatant issues ahead so they can happen so you can "feel productive or a savior" while the patient is harmed in the process.

I have done a "tour" in hospitals and know all their pofessions.

>>16100483
Though, Canada, in the West, did go there, so...Babylon Bee, its not a game...

It was never a game.

>>16100509
>ignore blatant issues ahead
The Military bears particular burden for this part.

Ive been places, Ive seeen things.

>>16098502
>nurses
gay men flock to it because it's traditionally seen as a female job, even though men really are a lot better at it given how much lifting nurses have to do
>doctors
I barely ever meet gay doctors so idk where you get this

Scotland mentioned

Just got a job as a PCT at a local hospital. It’s not my ideal but it’s better than waiting tables and it’s a chance to get hospital experience while I’m still in school. Any advice?

>>16101201
you a premed?

>>16101448
Nope, I’m starting nursing school this summer

>>16101496
oh okay
good luck not really sure how you could fuck it up
don't know if we have nurses itt

Why do so many docs work into late 50s? It seems relatively easy to retire or transition to part time after like 10 years of working

>>16101677
doctors are just like everybody else: most of them (and their wives) love wasting all their money on useless crap.

>>16100038
I just had an infusion a couple days ago. Best drug in the world. Classical music + ketamine is a godly combination
