The only anime with doctor's I've seen are:

Durarara! - Underground Medicine
Cells at work - dumb shit desu
Black Jack - Some diseases that do not exist
Monster - Not even close to medicine

And that's it. Nothing worthy =(. I really wish there was something with a family physician and daily cases in rural Japan. It would be amazing.

>>11866106
>study absolutely everyday
For me, weekends are clear from studying unless I have an exam coming up and 2-3 hours every weekday. Clinicals are easy and more than 2-3 hours of swapping between diseases results in brainstorming for me.

But, considering he's a first year (equivalent of dumb premed), not a bad advice.

It still would not work. Take it this way:

1. The healthy person gets blood with extremely high levels of sugar
2. The amount of pure insulin you need to get for the diabetic patient to recover won't be enough. I guess you know that insulin is in small containers and I doubt a non-diabetic patient can provide that much from a single meal.

Is it worth worrying about sporadic pulses/waves of nerve activity in palms and soles? I have palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis and the nerve paresthesia commonly occurs before hyperhidrosis, but it can also happen on its own. It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm walking, sitting or lying down, and while it doesn't stay for long it's painful enough to be fairly distracting
Feels more like sharp energy than anything else and it seems like it's only affecting those nerve endings for some reason

how do you study the concepts then? my friend's genius brother told me the only way i can do well is by understanding or making logic out of the concepts but. i can't seem to do that :( i don't want to blame iq and make a self fulfilling prophecy in the process but i don't know what else to do you know. it's also very hard for me to focus. let alone make "logical connections".

[Anonymous No.11866712]

Not him. IQ is a meme and you don't need to be a genius to study medicine. All you need is work ethic.

Your friend's brother is right about it, you need to learn the mechanism in order to understand a process/concept but you'll find that some of the classes you have won't have such thing (anatomy for example, that's pure memorization). Train yourself to study 4-5 hours/day and gradually decrease that time when clinical rotations come.

You can easily make connections, idk what are you talking about. Give me an example, something you don't understand so I can get an idea what's making your life so hard.

If we go by the same logic of "Population sharing another DNA fragment", then you must know that we already do since we get vaccinated against other bacteria and viruses.

I'm not a doctor yet, but I have wet lucid dreams all the time. Just get good at lucid dreaming on it's own first before you try to jump straight into sex. A problem I had in the beginning was getting to excited when I saw a hot dream character (usually someone you know irl) and then I wake up before I can fuck them. You wake up the moment you cum though in my experience, so it isn't like you're going to be losing gallons of semen or anything. Also, it gets kind of annoying changing your sticky undies/sheets so it probably won't be worth it after awhile.

yeah the baccalaureat test is pretty bullshit sometimes

Basically how it works is since most good universities are state owned, the state provides a limited amount of seats and abroad scholarships. You have to wait in line to pick a spot depending on your ranking. Also the spots depend on your sepecialty in high school.
I was ranked 50 in the maths specialty so I was just shy of a french or german state scholarship and I didn't wanna do maths in uni so I picked the only other best thing.
Given how few jobs we have, there isn't any variety in the choices at the top so the 4 med schools and the few good engineering schools end up always with a top something condition depending on the specialty.

severe forms of anemia can be compared to body state that has lost a lot of blood. In both case RBC levels would be low and the body would try to increase fluids in the hopes of bringing the level of RBCs back up.. low RBC is seen as being hypovolemic by body which triggers your thirst reflex and activates RAAS system

Maybe,
Severe anaemia causes hypoxia which is sensed by arterial chemoreceptors which induce a release of catecholamines norepinephrine and epinephrine from the adrenal medulla. At the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidney, the juxtaglomerular cells express the b1 receptor. Circulating epinephrine is a natural agonist at b1 and activates the juxtaglomerular cells (through a Gs protein system) to release granules of renin. Renin then goes on to cleave angiotensinogen (synthesised in the liver) into angiotensin I, which undergoes further cleaving into angiotensin II (ATII) by ACE located in the lungs. ATII goes on to activate ATII(1) receptors on the posterior pituitary to induce the release of ADH. ADH then mediates the thirst response.

I have to disagree that the narcissism is a new thing. The 18th-19th century was filled with glory-seeking men who named all sorts of body parts and diseases after themselves. The amount of unethical shit that happened to patients was pretty fucking bad. The four humours system was the most prevalent schema for a millenium because the greats said so. Prestige was already a huge deal when physicians and surgeons were two separate occupations. Semmelweis was mocked when he suggested physicians wash their hands.

Not trying to be a schizo and I definitely don't mean to say that medicine is bad but I guess my point is medfags have always had narc tendencies.

I had the same shit happen to me and it really fucked me over. So as a general rule medicine is 20% understanding and 80% memorization. Also, most medicinal fields have a general field explaining the theory behind the subject and a special or systemic field focusing on organ systems.
1. study every day at the library(most people are incapable of studying at home due to the distractions)
2. concentrate when you're reading. Stop listening to music
3. invest in study material such as websites and some books
4. learn to use Anki
5. before you start memorizing make sure you have understood the concept behind what you are memorizing.

I was born premature (3 months early) and have some congenital defects. I have also noticed that I am generally more prone to illness than other people (near-sighted, balding, get colds more often, have random aches and pains etc). Are the odds of me dying of something random higher than if I had been born normally? How does premature birth factor into one's life expectancy?

What is the optimal physicians per capita in a country? Are we in need for more doctors in the western world?

[Anonymous No.11880782]

>>11880711
we certainly do need more doctors in the west, atleast in the US, the doctors are way overburdened with useless shit and patients, and the wages for doctors have remained fairly stagnant since the 1980s.

The rich doctor Hollywood trope is just that, most docs that have graduated in the last 10 years probably have a student loan of around 300k-500k to pay off and then work 80-100 hours without compensation sometimes.
Medicine is pretty grim in US, lots of hype very little substance
Also thanks to lots of lawsuits and constant anti doctor propaganda, most doctors are now required to spend 60% of their time charting for the patients and 15% on admin work, so that leaves around 25% time with meeting, diagnosing and treating patients

Can I trust a phone camera to assess baldness? My right temple has been slowly receding since April and my hair started feeling thinner so I began taking progress photos of the crown and sides. The sides seem to be thinning out and there's a bald spot on my crown in the photos, but friends and family tell me they can't see shit. Which one is it? I'd go to a derm but I'm scared of making a fool out of myself.

[Anonymous No.11880894]

>>11880782
Isn't it because you guys started training NPs and PAs to asses the shortage of physicians and instead you got even more patients for the physicians?

Imo, I think that reducing the strictness of medical school in US should be the solution. It requires all your dedication and if you're not from a rich family you have to pick a part time job, etc. and that immediately puts you at a disadvantage because those who stay at home can study freely and gun for a spec they like. And it's not just about the speciality of choice, it's also about the fact that you need publications and I personally don't see why you'd need them when they're not even that important or "revolutionary". Resident should make publications, not students. (Unless they want to, and I doubt many of them want to).

>The present study was designed to better understand the direct effects of acoustic vibrations, in the form of music, in human cells in culture. Our results suggest that the mechanisms of cell growth arrest and/or cell death induced by acoustic vibrations are similar for auditory and nonauditory cells.
