Why do female doctors commit suicide so often?

How is medical imaging technologist (radiographer) as a career? I heard they can make some pretty serious money with on-call work, and don't have to clean up human shit like nurses or spend 15 years studying like docs.

They don't. The average male suicide rate in the West is 3-4 times greater than that of females. It's theorized that this is primarily because males use more lethal means. Doctors on the other hand are more likely to have the knowledge as means to kill themselves than the average person.

3.5(1.4)/2.3 = 2.3

Male doctors are still 2.3 times more likely to commit suicide than female doctors.

>as a career
There basically aren't any "careers" in healthcare outside of medicine and nursing (outside of admin). There are jobs with limited to no advancement opportunities. Rad tech is very saturated in many areas and it's hard to find work. The work is fairly menial, and mostly involves starting IVs, transferring and positioning bariatric patients and pressing a button. You do the same 5-6 tasks every day all day. If something goes wrong you call engineering.

If you're interested in a trade learn something you can practice autonomously. If you're interested in healthcare go to nursing school or med school.

Generally true in hospital settings, and if a person isn't willing to move around in that organization and retool skills. People are very specialized in this industry, you just have to progressively generalize. Most people are too lazy to develop.

Rad tech isn't a great option though.

I need help med friends. For about 8 years now I've had this sharp sort of burning pain over the right transverse process of my T2-3. Sometimes it doesn't hurt but it gets really aggravated while doing things like playing guitar.

Now over the past few weeks the skin over the spot has been red and it's about the size of a quarter. It looks dry almost like psoriasis but it's not quite scaly. I also have psoriasis on the back of my neck/scalp I treat with triderma which doesn't seem to help the spot on my back. I'm a 2nd year DO student and feel like I should know what it is but I don't. I don't have any referred pain to any dermatomes or anything, just that burning pain in that spot that gets sharp whenever I move my right arm. It's almost like a tearing sensation

You're automatically the top 15% of the population when you manage it.
These students don't know that their lives aren't their own to throw away. They owe society for giving them good genes so they got in. And if they're in Europe they owe society for spending money on then for their free education.

Okay, but backing up the sass. EMS is not a good career choice.
1) Municipal positions are very difficult to come by. Putting your chances into beating everyone in your entire greater metro area on a civil service exam just for an entry level job is not a valid life choice. Sure you can part-time at an FD for some extra cash, but you wouldn't need multiple jobs if you had one that made good money.
2) Private ALS/BLS is NOT a career. No advancement opportunities, poor labor practices, cartel structure etc.
3) Critical care transport is a career sort of. But if you're doing critical care or flight, why not just be a nurse and get paid more for the same job? Nurses can move higher in critical care anyway, to management or NP positions.
4) ER medics are just glorified CNAs who get paid less than RNs.

Feel free to disagree with me.

Woa I’m shocked - where is this data from?

I just read a study on medscape the other day that shows anesthesia as one of the lowest suicide specialties in the medical career: because of fairly decent work schedules, not following patients, etc.

I’ve always been accustomed to general surgery being number 1, then the primary care field, then OB.

I can say that data on drug rehab programs is highest for anesthesiologists, since access to potent drugs on the daily tempts the depressed and overworked.

medics can be subjected to high stressors, crazy work schedules and be responsable for direct death of patients.

women are much more sensitive to stress and negative emotions, they also have easy access to all kind of drugs, which make suicide painless and since women are less likely to use lethal force to kill themselves, I see no mistery to be solved here.

Because many of them eventually find out that their education is not based on science, but rather corporate funded studies that are published for the sake of pharmaceutical profit(see the replication crisis), not consumer well being. They usually find this out after diagnosing and prescribing thousands of patients and drugs. Some of which may have resulted in death.
So after going into a profession because they wanted to help people, and save lives they learn they arent really helping anyone. They are just lining the pockets of big pharma. They cant take the guilt of what they have done and kill themselves, or they try to spread information about this great injustice in our healthcare system and “kill themselves”.

How do I tell if I have a inguinal hernia? I've been coughing a fuckton over the last two weeks and hard and I've started to feel a slight discomfort in my groin area. However I don't think I can notice any lump down there. My job also involves lots of lifting, but I'm pretty sure it's the cough that caused it because I coughed ridiculously hard. Fuck man if I knew coughing caused hernias I would've taken a cough suppressant fuckin hell. Anyway if the discomfort doesn't go away tomorrow or after tomorrow I'll see a doc. Since it's not painful and a lump isn't immediately obvious I'm guessing it's not too serious if it's there at all.

Have you anons heard any news about fluoroquinolones? I had a chat yesterday with my GP and she shared with me that she got a letter describing to cut down on fluoroquinolones, because there has been found a link between intake and connective tissue damage which can lead to tendopathies, joint problems and even aneurysms and dissection of the aorta. I read an article on medscape about it too. Shared in the previous /med/ thread but no one aknowledged it.

when I did my infectious disease rotations the doctor told that you dont give fluoroquinolones to OLD people because they are at risk for tendopathies

but when I had pneumonia resitant to amoxicilin, azytromicin, 5 days of moxifloxacin cured me from the lung infection and cough so severe it made me vomit

so yea "tendopathies, joint problems and even aneurysms and dissection of the aorta" sound alarming and very severe, but it's worthless it's too general fo a statement that doesn't tell you anything about the populations at risk, I doubt the average joe will get an aorta dissection from 5 pills of an antibiotic.
most of the time read yourself the studies, it;s kinda useless to say that some drugs increase the aorta dissection risk 4 times!! when it's increased from 1/10.000 to 4/10000 or something

men commit suicide at a much higher rate so even female docs commit suicide less often than male docs

leading a productive life can be very stressful. most men work so suicide rates are high. meanwhile women live comparatively very easy and pleasant lives so suicide rates low. when a woman tries to live like a man the suicide rate rises. female docs still have lower suicide rate than male ones because male docs in average have more than twice as many patients over the course of their career than women, male docs still work even harder and for a longer time period

It mostly depends on how rich the country you work is and how rich the hospital is.
Your salary can be pretty nice if you find yourself into a fine private surgical team (and dont mind standing all the time in surgeryroom while wearing an antiradiation vest). Or if you work for some high end clinic or hospital where you sit on your ass doing expensive as fuck mri and you get your salary from a % of the total cost of the procedure (which for mri are very high in particular if you have to use some contrast liquid) and not a fixed monthly salary.

The US medical industry is partially shunned because it sponsored transgenics. While others sponsored GMO but not GMO people. So the two sides war on.
It technically sued countries with medical politicians. In many societies doctors were highly esteemed take for instance Palestine. Many of their old politicians were medical doctors. Whom realized the only way to continue their profession fully was by creating a perpetual civil war. No two sides could interfere with medical economy.

However there was a black lobby suing the US accusing it of massively conducting genetics research on peoples. A person with nappy hair is said to be crossed with sheep genes.

Well, the conversation was about whether or not EMS was a viable career, so compensation, opportunity and fair treatment really do play a huge role. If you're okay being paid and treated like an assistant shift manager at a McDonalds while doing lifesaving work then by all means, do it. It's just maybe not the most responsible or psychologically healthy life choice.

>Nurses can't do airway
Well, they definitely do airway in flight. ACNPs and CRNAs do a lot of airway as well. All the people who work those jobs get paid way more than your salary ceiling, too. I don't really know about crics, I know that ACNPs learn how to do them, probably flight nurses, too. I'm not sure if flight nurses perform them in practice if there's a paramedic on the team, although my understanding is that critical care is pretty egalitarian so who knows.

Anyway, the thrill of doing all those skills are going to go away and what are you left with? A crappy job that doesn't pay. I get that it's manly and you like that, but it's a pretty bad reason to stay in a profession in crisis.

Let's talk about psychiatry. Here are some topics I've been thinking about recently:
Psychiatry currently operates under a "scientific" program that creates "explanations" for mental illness vis-a-vis neuroscience. Consider the following:
Is neuroscience capable of explaining mental illness when it doesn't have concepts that correspond to human experience in any meaningful way?
Why should we then assume that meaningful explanations of human behavior will arise from neuroscience when this is not in general true for any two special sciences (i.e., not all concepts in economics reduce to concepts in chemistry, why is it more reasonable that concepts in psychology reduce to concepts in neuroscience)?

In light of my questions about the psychiatric program, why should we trust it when psychiatrists admit that all other models of psychiatry (from madhouses to psychoanalysis to the DSM III) were misguided failures?

If you don't think we have good reason to trust psychiatrists, do you think that mental health care should be de-medicalized and is better left in the hands of people who don't derive authority from the state?
Related question, do you think people would be more likely to seek mental health if they didn't fear that their crimes would be reported, or that they would be involuntarily hospitalized?
If you don't support involuntary hospitalization, what would a non-violent psychiatry resemble? Is a non-violent psychiatry possible?

Doctor being a shit job + spending all of their 20s working relentlessly to become a doctor only to realize they didn't actually want to be a doctor and fell for the strong feminist career woman meme (or they just wanted money and prestige) + being hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt + high stress high workload job being 30 + so no chad really wants you anymore and have no time for kids anyway + dealing with sick and dying people constantly = bad combination

Doctor is essentially the ultimate wagecuck job

Specialities that less than .1% of nurses will ascend to are hardly meaningful. Might as well just throw para-physicians into the mix at that point, who crush everything else in terms of skill availability. As for understanding, that's a pretty shallow argument. If you combined the knowledge of every person in a given ER you'd probably only have full clinical relevance of half the medications and procedures they're licensed to administer. My local level 1 has to call in the respiratory department just to drop a fucking ET.

It's attitudes like yours that allow level of care monopolies to keep on strangling innovation. Time and time again US EMS has pushed for higher standards, more training, and better recognition. Instead, nursing unions lobby against changes in protocol in fear of being irrelevant while EMS agencies are too embroiled in juvenile dick measuring contests to come together and stratify this shit properly.

It makes sense to turn prehospital providers into more adept clinicians. It will ease the burden on hospitals and save many, many more lives.

First off, you do realize that you're basically agreeing with me, in that EMS has limited opportunities? Demanding a total restructuring of the public health corporation/lobby/licensing complex is fine, but if you remember what the argument is about, it's whether or not EMS is a viable career choice right now. I mean, at that point, instead of writing >>10097028 I could have just said: "fully automated luxury communism is right around the corner, go for rad tech! It won't matter very soon." But that doesn't make any sense.

You said "a nurse will never do blah blah blah" when in reality thousands of nurses are capable of doing all of those things. That is totally meaningful. That's like trying to argue doctors never do neurosurgery since neurosurgeons are less than .1% of doctors.

I don't really disagree with you all that much on the theoretical points - or at least in broad terms, the current trends in healthcare are unsustainable and a lot of changes do need to happen.
>It makes sense to turn prehospital providers into more adept clinicians.
I'm not sure about this, what exactly are you imagining, outside of prescription power? I know stroke units are something that would be good to see in more cities, but I'm not sure what else would be that helpful. If you're talking about a mid-level provider who would basically act like a 19th century doctor taking house calls, I'm not sure that would work in our current medico-legal system since with pretty much every encounter, tests would need to be run that require lab equipment that can't be stored in an ambulance. Though I would support that if fully automated luxury communism is implemented tomorrow and the courts are abolished.

On the other hand I would support more bridge opportunities for medics to get right into mid-level provider roles. There's no reason why a paramedic-PA bridge shouldn't exist, for example. That's the bigger issue with EMS, there's nowhere to go without re-doing a lot of school.

Alright medfags, I got a serious question for you:
Is it worth it to go for licensure/certification in regards to laboratory assistant, specimen processing, and various other entry-level jobs? Because holy fucking shit the only entry-level laboratory jobs or assistant jobs near where I live require at least one year of experience AND at least one form of certificate or license. It's been like 5 months since I graduated and I still got fucking nothing.

Is it worth it to spend like 3K or more again just to be able to have a chance of getting one fucking job that'll pay at least 16 dollars an hour? Am I fucking retarded?

I see, we are disagreeing on what constitutes a viable career. If it pays enough for an average life and isn't absolutely misery, that's viable enough for me. It could and should be better, but that's a different debate.

There's no unity in prehospital protocol. Some regions let their paramedics do pericardiocentesis, fasciotomy, and even chilled lavage for targeted temp. Then there are regions where BLS can't give Oxygen and ALS is a 4-lead someone else has to interpret while the medics get orders for aspirin. Until they're brought up to the same perceived level of RN (or higher in the case of the former examples), the field will stay exactly where it's at. The faint cries for community medicine will be even more of a pipe dream than basic income.

Meanwhile, individual hospital providers will continue to be dominated by the lowest common denominator. D.O.s that have no idea what they're doing giving asinine instructions (25 mics fent for a broken femur!) and nurses that have been taught to follow like good little cooperative sheep will do it. Every year they'll watch the same time out video and congratulate each other on their critical thinking skills while going right back to business as usual.

I'm glad you used the term medico-legal system anon. That's what this horseshit is. You can't even get a good patient history without having to spend 5 times as much of your day filling it out on whatever trash your hospital has decided to install on its 20 year old computer equipment. Want to give medication? How about some fucking zofran!? Have 3 people check it, recheck it, is it still zofran? Check again! Good, now fill out a 2 page form. Then go ahead and check it one more time. Don't forget to look at their EKG. They don't have one yet? That's a 1 page form. Nurses aren't allowed to use a 12-lead you say? Well, get the radiology techs to come down.

Cyanide poisoning is treated with nitrites because it preferentially binds Fe3+ in complex IV, so inducing methemoglobin formation makes use of that. And similarly, carbon monoxide binds Fe2+ in complex IV preferentially which is why it binds normal hemoglobin.

Well. I don't regret med school. You have to study very long hours, deal with stuff most people don't even dream about and not everything is interesting and fun. There is boredom and very unpleasant stuff. That said, you get to do stuff that is impossible otherwise. I do some computer programming as a hobby, but a CS major doesn't have the chance to be in the OR and see a human body on the inside, or perform a neurological examination in a person with some disorder. You have contact with dozens of people everyday, who come with the most varied problems, from 1 day old babies that will hopefully live in the 22th Century to terminal cancer patients who will die that same night, which gives you a unique perspective on human nature. I personally think its an absolute honor to do this and I am very grateful for being able to study medicine. If you are considering med, just make sure you are also ready to study a lot of boring stuff (anatomy I am talking about you) and are ready to deal with hard stuff, weather it is patients, peers or members of staff. You also need to like people and have a lot of empathy with their problems and be able to put yourself in other peoples shoes

Medicine aimed at students right out of highschool. Premeds, biology majors and people like you are the extra fags who want to study forever.

Old school friend of my dads had a daughter who became a doctor and killed herself in her late 20's. The guys wife then killed herself a few weeks after the daughter did. Tragic part about it was there was no dark family secret or anything sinister about it, she killed herself due to the stress of the job or whatever reason and her mother killed herself because of a broken heart, leaving a father and young son/brother behind.

this is why I think dropping out of medschool was the greatest decision I ever made. I already had depression and social anxiety before starting medschool and it became worse a few months in. I dropped out after my second semester. I would probably went insane and killed a few people if I didn't dropped out.

Aussie med school is school leaver and graduate entry as well, right? If an 18-year-old can do it, you can. They'll teach you what you need to know. I know gradmeds in the UK who have previous degress in shit like philosophy who still manage to pick everything up.

I don't really regret it but if I had the opportunity to go back I would probably do something else: subject is good and I'm happy studying it will hallow e to do good in the world but most med students and their ego, the stress, the money spent to study...really not worth it.
I'd probably go with paleonthology or maybe trying to open a vineyard (italy-bro here)

How long does it take for someone to start showing acid/base imbalances when they hyperventilate/hypoventilate?
I've seen some places have a patient hyperventilate for as little as 60 seconds to as long as 5 minutes to see these changes.
These are for seizure induction in EEG studies.

Does anyone else love medical school compared to undergrad? I'm only two tests into my first year but I love it compared to dealing with loads of bullshit in undergrad. I don't mind studying all day because it's actually interesting, and I'm not forced to stress over term papers and other pointless tasks.

Go with what interests you but know that dentists have a MUCH better work life balance and that if people look down on you for being a dentist they aren't worth being around.

Forensic science openings only happen when one retires or dies. Not to mention there are plenty of forensic scientists who did a straight bio or chem degree and got the job purely because a lot of forensic science programs don't cover them in depth enough to specialise.

I got into a graduate program so its 4 years, there are also school-leaver ones but I did not do that.
I'm just wondering because learning anatomy and everything will be a new experience especially because I haven't done any hardcore memorising since high school, and so I wonder if I should do a bit of study in the summer prior to starting so I don't feel out of my depth.

If you want to do that kind of stuff there really is no reason to not get your EMS -> Nursing -> ER -> Flight Nursing.

Flight nurses literally have the same responsibilities as any EMS and get paid more. This is anecdotal but I've had EMS's tell me while they enjoy the work they do, they might as well have just became nurses.

Not sure what hospitals your at but typically standing orders handle anything I need in the ER and if not there is always a doc outside the door/a phone call away. Outside of blood I don't need more than myself for a medication check. I can start a 12 lead just fine without somebody holding my hand. You are exaggerating and have been this whole time.

>You also need to like people and have a lot of empathy

This, I feel like the majority of MD's or health professionals who grow disillusioned with their career don't get the satisfaction from caring for other humans emotionally. Either that or get too emotionally invested. You really have to be able to strike a healthy balance to get the most out of these professions

Coughing 24/7 for three months and I get incredibly breathless, wake up in the morning and my throat is burning.

You ever heard of this shit? Doctor said it's asthma despite no wheezing, told him I didn't think so but he said it definitely is, had my asthma test today and test said I didn't, asthma Nurse looked at test and records and said I've never had asthma. Really hate my GP (UK here).

Yes. Actually happened to me. I got really worried and even posted on /med/ about it. You should be fine in 2-3 days. If not, you know what to do.

Could be a list of things chronic bronchitis, lymph nodes pressing on your bronchi and causing irritation and coughing, TB, even microtromboembolism can be a cause of that. More reasons: chronic laryngitis, whooping cough (adults can get it too) and even cancer. A lot of stuff really. Just don't leave him alone sitting on his ass, don't self diagnose, but be persistent. He'll either do a more thorough examination or refer you eventually.

You can't do shit. You can get an anesthetic spray so you can stand the pain during the event. Oral antiseptics like chlorhexidine, benzalkonium chloride etc.

Guys I have a hard grain sized lump in my groin area. Its been there for like a year or so. Its like stuck to one of the veins that come out of the groin, behind where the testicles hang. It gives me discomfort every now and then. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it lays dormant. Its been the same size and hardness since it suddenly appeared one day. It hurts when I squeeze it so theres that. Been putting it off coz I am not comfortable showing my peepee to the doc. Any ideas ?

They see shit like this on the daily anon, seeing your penis is not going to bother them in the slightest and it shouldn't bother you, you'll have you pants down for half a minute, go in there and get it looked at.
