/sci/ - Science & Math

quick question
if a doctor loses their medical license in the uk can they still teach at a uni?

>>6320496
only if you blow the dean

>>6320501
ok good. i was kinda worried that i would lose my medical license, i think i forgot to take out the scalpel out of the patient before stitching him up. anyway i just wanted to know what my options were. thanks x

>>6320506
don't neglect the balls!

>>6320509
yup. always cup the balls

But you wouldn't lose your medical license over leaving an instrument in the patient. As a matter of fact it is pretty common for that to happen unfortunately. Now, that being said you will get a board review and the longer you've practiced/been a surgeon the less lenient they'll be with you. Then again maybe you shouldn't be a surgeon, if after all the cadaver lessons you went through in med school still didn't ingrain "check all equipment" in your skull.

but the patient has a scalpel inside his penis

French 4th-year medfag here. I just got out from a public health exam . Half of the clinical cases were about notions that were not even taught in class. And it's not the first time my teachers do that. Our neurology exam in October solely consisted in a clinical case about... a congenital cataract (the teacher talked about it for literally five minutes in class).

Anyway, I'm not through yet, I still have a Geriatrics/Handicap/Palliative care exam tomorrow. Wish me luck !

bonne chance mon petit chou-fleur!

>finnish 5 year medfag here
Free education is fucking great

>>6320987
yeah it's free in quite a few countries, even egypt

3.9+ History major
>got a 38 on my MCAT
>going to one of the best medical programs in the US

toplel for plebs that went into Engineering/Physics and did shitty.

1st year fag

>>6321889
good on ya lad. history is bs, it's good that you chose to do something that's actually good

What is so great about medicine compared to other degrees? Especially technical and/or scientific degrees

Is there anyway to be a medfag while also dealing a lot with technology?

Medicine is just psychology and witchcraft without the "thinking about it" parts.

You don't actually TRY to make people better. My PHONE has a better doctor app than the education most doctors receive, and it at least sounds like it cares.

Are dentistry students welcomed here?

Biomedical engineering welcome? I want to go to medical school if I can raise my GPA up enough.

>>6325130
You watchmakers are okay, AND you are respected on most sado-masochism boards.

>>6325151
Tell them you're black, then you won't have to study.

>>6325157
>/pol/
pls go

>>6325151
go into something you love for undergrad. If that's Biomedical Engineering than go for it. Just make sure you do well in it.

70% of the resume piles that Medical Schools read through are Biology and Biomedical Engineering students. Medical Schools around the country have mentioned on multiple occasions that it doesn't matter what you major in for undergrad. I majored in History and got into Medical School. I've worked with Psychology, Music, History, Chemistry, Physics students, you name it.

If Biomedical Engineering is something you love, then go for it. Just don't automatically think just because you majored in BME that you'll do well in Medical School. I know plenty of bright Engineering students that didn't do very well on their MCAT or in medical school.

>>6325160
That's not the same as "you're wrong" or "you're lying".

MMMmmm. Your butthurt tears are delicious.

Where is the best place online to get MCQ and EMQ questions to test myself on single organ/system pathologies? I've ordered some books but browsing online only comes up with very difficult cases. 2nd year medic btw

2nd year here, posting my Bible

>start college, everyone wants to be a med fag, taking health science, bio, bioscience, biochemistry, you fucking name it
>tfw all of them end up failing to get into med school or trying to get into engineering instead
>tfw they fail out of first year engineering because they never had to do more than memorize for exams

Feels fucking good. Niggas stay in school forever trying to become a docjew.

Something like this? American med student here not sure what you're looking for.

>>6322206
It is, bud. No worries

> biochemistry
> never had to do more than memorize for exams

Pick one. Chemistry and Biochemistry at my college are still extremely math and physics heavy.

>>6326300
>not knowing that chem is math heavy
Pleb/10

Should I go into medicine for the $$$?

2nd year MedFag and I'm thinking of ditching this shit
I'm tired of rote-learning, memorizing endless bullshit.I also feel very guilty when I waste some hours instead of learning and I always feel like absolute crap after exams

OK, I'll admit it. There are a lot of bullshit papers out there in the medical literature. This is pretty hardcore bullshit, no doubt. When I was in the preclinical phase of the course, I had to read 20-page long papers whose conclusions were basically

>If a patient doesn't communicate their complain/concerns to a physician, the physician would not be able to address it in the context of a clinical consultation

No fucking shit, Sherlock.

Medicine is unique amongst sciences in that there are a bunch of non-technical people who have a stake and a say in the field and there are a bunch of qualified doctors who are quite clearly sub par. In most other sciences, the sub-par lot would have been scrambled fairly quickly, but there are so many low-demand, low-consequence fields for these individuals to slide into and/or they take up "education", "social" or "managerial" positions. They effectively dilute the perceived quality of the profession. In mathematics or physics, or chemical sciences, you don't really have the same issues as you don't have equivalent positions for individuals to slide into
