We discuss research, offer advice (the best one is to see your family physician), make fun of premeds and shitpost.

Do not engage the clamp poster (https://pastebin.com/aYNv0zFc).).

Don't start discussing pro- and anti-vax shit because it degenerates and takes a lot of replies.

Path, onc, anesthesia, etc.

Are you joking dude? Canadian schools are a fuckin nightmare. For starters we have less than 20 vs the USA's 160+. 2 or 3 of them you need to be able to speak French, one of them is reserved only for rural medicine/rural applicants, most schools favour in province applicants and if you're from Ontario you're even worse off. Not to mention that most schools don't take international students and the ones that do accept maybe 1 or 2 per YEAR. Telling him to apply to Canadian schools with a 3.49 is basically just telling him to waste his money. He has a good shot at a DO school. I'm fuckin Canadian and will probably be moving to Australia or Ireland for med school because of how fuckin mental the system here is. In the US you can get into a low tier MD school or DO school with a GPA of like 3.5-3.7, I've seen even less than that. In Canada that GPA is mostly a death sentence (mine is 3.6). Most schools here don't even give a fuck about MCAT. 4 or 5 of them don't even require it and a couple only weigh the CARS sections.

Should I go to the doctor for what I think it a pretty standard migraine symptom? I've been getting headaches on and off on the left side of my head towards the top for a few years now. Usually gets worse at night but maybe that's just because I have less stimulation and notice it more.

Pretty rough day today but I feel good about it. Heard some rhales in a kid today and had to do diff diagnosis with only that, fever, and a normal ECG until the bloodwork arrived.

For me, it was pneumonia. Common in children, has a brutal debut and also explains the fever and rules out some heart conditions considering the normal ECG (the kid was slightly tachy but insignificant).

And I got my heart broken today because I had to visit the PICU. So many children ranging from a pretty fucked up shape to critical condition I can't even...I just had to get some papers to my Prof (she's a pediatrician and also works in the PICU) and asked about a little girl in critical condition. Apparently she fell from the 5th floor and had bruising under her eyes which means most of the times heavy cranian trauma. I don't know anymore guys, it's kind of hard to digest the fact that even children can get in this kind of trouble.

There is no psych ward in the clinic thankfully. We have a separate hospital for them which is kinda nice but I'm not sure I'll ever visit it. (Romanian medschool doesn't have pediatric psych in the schedule, don't know about other countries)

Why do you think it's worse in the psych ward instead on the PICU? I get that there are children with schizophrenia and other disorders but I can't see how it is any worse than children in critical condition.

General sci/med question
My family recently got a new well drilled since our old one was ancient and contaminated.
Our water ended up coming out with a slight brown/red color which the well drillers said was iron. They set us up with a filter system and the water went back to normal.

Now however, we are starting to notice a blue-green tint staining our shower. Is this copper, a different form of iron, or something else? Is it safe? We have a water cooler that we drink from and cook with so it's mostly bathing and dish washing I'm concerned with.

I personally find it much more tragic to see kids being completely fucked for life for no fault of their own. You see a kid whose two and you can already see that they will spend the rest of their days in an institution and that's the best case scenario.

Imagine the worst of humanity and imagine that they decided to have children. The children are put through every imaginable kind of abuse and neglect.

Canadafag here. You seem to know what you're talking about. Hypothetically if I do med school in the UK or Aus and want to match to a psyc program in the USA, how do I select which programs I'd have the best shot at? Are there programs that are IMG friendly? Also if STEP 1 isn't made P/F, worst case scenario, what should I do if I majorly fuck up step 1? Like I know I should be aiming for 230+ but lets say I score a 205 or some horrible score. Is it still salvageable? Psych is all I want. Did my undergrad in it, research experience in a psyc lab, would do lots of rotations in psychiatry if I did go to med school. In other words any PD would be able to tell that I am not choosing psych as a back up because I didn't get into some sort of ultra competitive specialty. I really just like it. What do?

You should always ask about anything that you are even a little bit uncertain. You'll look much less stupid if you asked the same thing three times just to be sure compared to fucking up the experiment because you were too scared to ask. Also pen and paper, take notes.

So my mother had some problem last night.
She is a woman in her late 40s with diagnosed anemia and not to long ago she had episode of high (+200) blood pressure that took her to the ER.
After a week she had some tests done on her heart or something and doctors told her she was fine.
She was prescribed some blood pressure medication and she stabilized so she stopped taking the prescribed therapy and now only takes therapy for her anemia.
Fast forward last night at 4AM she wakes up in cold sweat,strong vertigo that increased if she changed her head position,nausea and vomiting.
As soon as she sat on a chair and closed her eyes her symptoms calmed but if she tried to lie down just as she inclined it would start again.
Blood pressure was 140/90.
This morning she was ok and judging from my googling skills Im suspecting BPPV but considering her variable blood pressure history it may be something else.
I told her to make an appointment but she refused.
Please advise.

She’ll be fine it’s probably just BPPV. If you live somewhere there’s free health care go and get her checked up, get some bloods done on her. If you’re a burger then forget it, you’ll just end up out of pocket as she gets overinvestigated and you end up with the same answer as when you spent 10 mins googling the symptoms.

Just out of curiosity: In western medical schools, at around what time do you start dissecting cadavers and, at what point in medical school did they ask you to identify every muscle in the upper and lower extremities?

I'm legitimately curious because I started studying in my thirdworld shithole's "best" medical school and it's barely a month in and we've already finished identifying and describing the functions of every muscle in the upper and lower extremities. I also failed my anatomy exam. I'm a psych major and I don't know how they expect us to know all of this shit.

They presented us with German studies about the effectiveness of cadaver dissection before we started, though. A considerable percentage (can't remember if it's 75% or 50%) said they found it helpful.

Also, we've already done the dissection which is also why they expected us to remember every fucking muscle in the upper and lower extremities for the past 2 weeks. I wanna fucking die.

List of usual “problems”:

1. They’re women
2. They were pressured into medicine
3. They’re brats who have never done a day of “real work” in a labour/construction job or (even worse) an office job and don’t realise how menial and monotonous that life is
4. They have no people management skills and can’t cope with a position of responsibility
5. They have no leadership skills
6. They have no prioritisation skills
7. They are educated beyond their intelligence

Sure, there are people who burn out in a high workload/pressure specialty because it conflicts with their personal commitments etc but then again nobody is holding a gun to their head forcing them to specialise as quickly as possible.

Here I am. You basically do six years, then you start residency. Residency takes from 4 (the lowest) to 6 years depending on spec. Fellowship is usually 1 year in non-surgical specs (Transfusion medicine, peds onc, peds alergology, etc)

So...for me as a future FM will be 10 years total and I'd like to do a fellowship in Sexology or Sports medicine which is +1 years (6 months sexology)

Don't know. You have two big books to study from and 300 multiple answer questions. You have like 3 months after graduation to study for it which is pretty nice. Overall, I think it will be pretty easy but you have to nail the hardest subjects (Onc, Cards and Diabetes are the hardest chapters) to make the difference from what I've heard. It can really make the difference between a 900+ score and 850s. (900s always get juciy derm, plastics, cards and GE). Of course, some people even fail the exam (You have to do 500+ to pass it, so anything below 500 results in failure)

If you want a serious response it's week 1 or 2. If you go to a systems based school you finish anatomy over the course of the year. If you're traditional ,you finish it first semester.

Back UE LE is finished within a month in this case.

If you failed, you're not studying hard enough. In USA many or most students start med school without ever taking anatomy. The workload surprises the shit out of almost every student if you go to a decent school that actually teaches rigorously so the students score high on boards, but you're supposed to get used to it. And if you keep failing, well, it's just not for you.

I use Remicade. My next infusion is in 4 weeks where I am now, and I was planning on moving to another state. I have applied for Medicaid there and I suppose that I'm approved, but I have not scheduled an appointment with a physician.
How can I have an infusion scheduled? Should I simply email my GI and hope he has some kind of ability to schedule for me in the area I'm moving to, or would I need to see a GI there and they schedule the infusion? Does it take a long time to authorize it?

Things have worked out so that I need to move now and I did not expect this. Will I have enough time?

I think this only applies to the US/Canada. What the fuck is a GP doing there if a PA/NP or even worse, naturopaths are allowed to prescribe meds? (Besides having more knowledge, what the fuck do they do?)

I'm currently in physical therapy recovering from severe neck issues. Craniocervical instability, hypermobility, loss of lordosis etc. My QOL has improved tenfold in the past few months, from suicidal levels of constant pain, headaches, neurological issues to being pain free, clear headed and mechanically stable.

This is kinda weird but now, for some reason when things touch, or even brush up against the back of my head when I don't expect it, it causes some weird reflex in my abdominal muscles and makes them contract for a split second. Throws me off my balance and feels weird as hell. What is this?

In most European countries, you can improve your HS grades.
In Europe, there are three ways of getting into med school.
>HS grades: Scandinavia and the Mediterranean region. They also do something similar in the UK but it is a bit different, I am not quite sure how it works.
>admission test: a test in physics/math, chemistry, and biology. Cental and Eastern Europe. Each country might have 1000 spots per year and there are maybe 50 000 applicants so 1-5 % gets accepted into medical school
>the French way: maybe the most retarded way of doing it. Accept everyone in the first year, then let the top 1-5% stay and the rest have to drop out. They do this in France, Switzerland, and Belgium.

>eastern European banana republic.
That is more or less how a lot of western European countries get new doctors these days. They refuse to increase the number of med students because they know up to half of the new doctors will come from these areas. Also, the quality of education varies extremely from nation to nation.

That's retarded. If they increased the number of spots in their own countries, fewer students would leave. Is there even one eastern euro country that has a standard of education that matches their western counterparts when it comes to medicine? You hear a lot of stories about how people who went to those countries because they couldn't get in otherwise end up being called out as incompetent.

So I suffered from concussion 4 weeks ago and basically took it very slow since then until middle of last week.
As of yet I dont have strong headaches anymore, my neck feels fine, I dont feel very dizzy or nauseous.
On the other hand I havent resumed to high intensity team sport (for one out of worry that I get a concussion again and mainly because I dont think im ready again) except for some light cardio. Secondly ive been preparing for the upcoming semester since last week and I see that my cognitive performance (focus, working memory, easily overwhelmed, quicker fatigue etc.) is still worse than before.
Im taking a break today because my mind is so exhausted and I dont feel im capable of doing something productive.
IIRC from reading about post concussive symptoms its that theyre more likely if you have a preexisting disorder which would be diagnosed ADHD (Diagnosed in Europe) in my case.
How the fuck do I proceed from here? Does daily studying despite symptoms hinder the healing process or does it not matter at all?
Should I go to the doctor again and get a referral to some specialist, but what can a specialist or doctor even do in that case?

ok so it goes like this

from the day you start med, if your not in a local gov place (thats call hecs-help)

No matter what you do, the federal gov will not give you access to medicare rebates for 10 years from the day you start med or graduate I can't remember which, I think its graduate.

It does not matter if you become a citzen later.

That means you can be legally qualified as a Dr with the states, no patient can afford to see you because you will be legally barred from the medicare rebate.

www.humanservices.gov.au/organisations/health-professionals/services/medicare/medicare-benefits-health-professionals/eligibility-access-medicare-benefits/overseas-trained-doctors-and-foreign-graduates-eligibility-requirements-medicare

You can make the 10 years shorter if you go rural. However your partner will leave you and you will become a drunk, and get sued as you have no backup, you kids will have no school options there.

The Other factor is getting a local internship. There is already a que for local graduates from private uni's

Anyhow the Australian gov is set up to fuck you sideways.

fuck I don't know desu if many get residency

what I do know is every other year there is a newspaper article with overseas grads protesting they do not have internships ..... it seems some how some do get internships .... but the whole system is so atomised even the degree, you get rotated around until your head spins in 3rd and 4th year, just understanding the million assignments and timetables locations is probably as hard as the logic section on the MCAT.

I think a few must, but a large number are sitting USMLE to the extent that Syd uni knows this and cuts them some slack to do that. So they just scrape by in the local exams, but study their ass of for USLME.

I don't know how they do it. I mean its 100K a year when you include cost of living.

Usyd us a bit of a mafia/management cluster fuck inmho.

They get a high rating because very very smart people compete to get in. the top 50~100/100000

or some such, so thats why they do well.

The actual faculty just collects $$$$ and does near fuck all.

most of the lectures are from the top of their field and doing it for free because of the love teaching or CPD points.

So the uni collects the fees and get to pay almost nothing to many lectures.

Most of the lectures are excellent as in, I have compared them to youtube ones Khan etc and generally the USYD ones leave them for dead.

Anat is pretty good, and path, hist not so much.

Clinically if you get one of the large hospitals your good.

That all said internship is going to be fucking hard.

I am 3/4 medfag, and fuck me its hard going I am hoping I have not failed last weeks exams, surg med, pysch and gp.

The uni does not give a fuck about your internship because they have your money and its a state/federal issue and they put a big fat disclaimer on that b4 you start.

There's not much political sympathy as all the locals know how hard it is to get in, and 50% of the are bonded somehow or pay out their degree

The fed gov actively stops locals from getting training places later to cut down on medicare payouts. This lets them say full medicare for everyone but means the quota it by limiting doctor numbers.

its a real shit show desu

The only thing is .... I think a break point will come where the gov rebate is so small you will be able to practice without a provider number .... but that's about 15~20 years off.

Now what you could do is be a dentist, the feds nor the state have no funding for dentist via medicare or near zero.

So once you finish...on that day, you can go a get a private job. Your done.

In Fact dentistry is like doing your specialty straight out ... and really a much better choice desu....no gov bullshit, no internship needed.

For the last couple months I've seen flashes of light in the corner of my eye. Even in darkness with my eyes closed. Some days the vision is very blurry, other days clear. Eye drops make no difference. When I wake up and lightly rub my eyes like normal the right eye is fine but it causes pain any time I rub the left eye, a pain like pins or needles pricking the eye on the inside of the socket around the top or back of the eyeball. There is now a persistent discomfort in the eye and sometimes minor pains that come and go quickly. I had untreated hypertension for years and I've been on 40mg lisinopril for it for the last couple years. I fear I'm having either gradual retinal detachment or maybe glaucoma which is more frightening. I have a doctor appointment in 4 days to finally find out what's going on but 4 days feels like an eternity with how much this worrying about my eye dominates my thoughts.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I need help.
For the last 4 years I have been struggling with a number of thing. Chronic fatigue, going to the bathroom 5+ times before being able to sleep, erectile dysfunction, and what often feels like a weight on my chest. I've been to a urologist that gave me surgery that removed scar tissue from the inside of my penis and it turns out that that wasn't the issue at all. Wasted money and time. Second time I went to a urologist and they checked my heart saying a I had an irregular heartbeat and sent me to get an EKG (which came back fine) and two other tests which I didn't have the money for.
My family encourages me to go to the emergency room but they don't know about the ED part and the last time I went to the emergency room they just told me that going to the bathroom often wasn't an emergency and that I'm just to anxious to get an erection. (for 4 years? even when I'm by myself? I call BS).
I'm not sure what to do. I need some direction.

Today in peds I had this 16 y/o girl. BMI = 27,14, considered grade 1 obesity, diabetes 1 and hypothyroidism. She takes her meds regularly from what she told me, but the lie I found was when I told the Prof she's on a 110g carbs diet and takes 70 units of insulin pumped, not injected and goes to the gym regularly. The Prof laughed it off, told me she is a patient that lies a lot but I could've found the lie easily if I paid more attention. Asked how and she told me "well, she uses the insulin pump a lot, there are signs of insulin resistance, but keep in mind she told you that she only eats 110g of carbs a day.

Literally the shittiest job wiping and washing people all day. You are expected to manage a patient load of potentially up to 20 people on your own depending on the shift and type of unit you work on. General medicine, surgery and geriatric units are the worst. You can work part-time to study on the side, but due to high turnover of the job expect to be called in to work nearly every day to replace the "sick" calls.
It's back breaking considering you'll sometimes have to work with the demented, overweight 90 year old by yourself. And despite help you'll get from CNA co-workers, less and less nurses will be there to help you out since their union is fighting to have less roles of the CNA pushed onto the RN.
There's a huge recruitment drive going on in my hospital to train and hire more CNAs, but until safe patient-staff ratios are implemented, people will continue to leave the job due to burnout, due to injury as a result of physical wear-and-tear or violence from patients. It's not a job I would recommend, but then again I'm not a CNA or even a RN, but a PA. I hear the complaints and see how bad it is though. Do you know what type of unit they are trying to get you hired on?

So should I get LASIK or SMILE or what? I have slight astigmatism. Barely wear glasses but everything is slightly blurry. It gets bad in class where I have to sit close to the front or wear glasses. I also get eye strain after studying for a few hours/headaches too. Can these surgeries solve these problems for me?

I had some kind of tonsillitis (sore throat, no fever but felt weak and shitty) two weeks ago and now it’s all gone but I have nasty cough that I can’t get rid of. Could it be linked or is it something else? I don’t smoke nor do I work near toxic fumes or anything like that.
I didn’t have a fever and I’m vaccinated so it can’t be a whooping cough right?

way too hard for no good reason. I think basic medical care should be taught in school as a required class. Imagine this, what if all youth of today were taught how to treat minor wounds and identify common ailments? All of a sudden this whole generation of kids could help their friends and family members with the most basic shit and way less people would visit the hospital over little stuff.

Of course, they wouldn't know everything and you'd still want to go to the hospital, but it would make healthcare cheaper and those who wish to become doctors would already be partially the way there.

This is something my old high school was actually considering 10 years ago when I was a senior. It was scrapped when health care workers complained about the public learning about medicines, treatments, and such saying it was a possible liability in case someone did something wrong with a fuckin basic ailment . Now the school offers a CPR course and water-safety classes, which isn't too bad.

Unironically? Wash it with soap and water, hydrogen peroxide on a q-tip if you're a true germophobe, and then apply neosporin and a band-aid. Keep the wound clean and give it time to heal. The red is just inflammation. Don't worry about that unless it starts to look infected.

Symptom: Foot vibrations. Feels like a cellphone is going off in my foot.

It's not Diabetes and that foot nerve degeneration, I am not prediabetic or diabetic.
Doctor had me get catscanned on my leg, no vein/nerve issues.
For awhile being on a multivitamin with B12 and iron solved it. It went away since May until all of a sudden last night. I don't know if it's around all the time or not, but I feel it most acutely when I try to sleep or it's close to bedtime like right now. Around the day I don't feel it even though I am often sitting.

I do have a fatty liver, I forget my blood pressure but I think it's a bit high (Not on any medicine for that, only medicine is thyroid 50mg of something). So I assume it's either nerve related due to iron or B12 deficiency (I know I was just on the edge of enough B12 last bloodwork) or it's blood pressure related.

Hyperhidrosis for feet can be managed with cotton wicking socks, non occlusive shoes etc, but how do you manage palmar hyperhidrosis? It completely ruins my grip and comfort when driving, means that I tend to try to avoid handshakes which is really hard in the job seeking phase, and kicks in at dinner and in bed for good measure when I'm not hot and not stressed about anything. It's really uncomfortable but I can't think of any ways to manage it, is it time to seek professional treatment?

I’m not an optho but I had always worn glasses and also had slight astigmatism, but my vision sounds slightly worse than yours. I got LASIK 6 years ago and still have 20/20 vision. Just go in for the consultation. It takes several hours and they do every test in the book. It’s worth doing and the surgery itself takes less than 30 minutes. They corrected my astigmatism and I haven’t had any side effects like dry eye. I go in once a year or so to check my vision and so far haven’t needed any corrections.
