Med student trying to refine my reviewing habits here. Tons of people keep on recommending Anki for studying and I tried getting into it multiple times but it really doesn't help me form reasonable chunks of info I can retrieve when needed. I know I may be doing it wrong, but I really, really prefer the classical personal note taking method. I feel it helps me learn better. My OCD isn't letting up about whether or not I should still use Anki though.

Any person in /med/ who studies the same way as me? Is Anki really that necessary? Of course, I'm only like this because I want to be the best possible doctor I can be.

I would greatly appreciate some advice. On Sunday, I travelled from country A, a rich country that has introduced measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus, most people wear facemasks in public, there are temperature scanners before entering large stores, to country B, a third world shithole that has barely any preventative measures against coronavirus. While travelling I observed all of the new safety regulations airlines introduced against coronavirus, negative PCR test before travelling, wearing a facemask while travelling, getting tested many times for high temperatures at the country A airports, etc. But in the airport of country B, most of the airport workers were not wearing facemasks, some of them were standing around less than a metre together, and the next day I went to a hospital in country B, while I myself wore a facemask( not the N95 mask, the pic related one), most of the people in the hospital, doctors, patients, receptionists, were not wearing facemasks, and they were also standing around close together, and none of them were tested for high temperatures before entering the hospital. There are thousands of confirmed cases of coronavirus in country B, and that is with the few tests that the health ministry can afford to perform.

My question is, is there a chance that I was infected with coronavirus in the airport or hospital of country B, and should I wait before I want to visit grandparents in country B, even while wearing the pic related face mask? How long should I wait before visiting grandparents? I don't know of any places where I can get a coronavirus PCR test in country B. An important point is that I have heard of hospital workers in country A testing positive and accidentally infecting others with coronavirus, so hospitals in country B must have a worse situation, right?

Anyone else regrets getting into med school? After high school, I had no idea what to do with my life, but my parents, specially my mother, always pushed me into medicine, so I ended up going for it thinking about money.
Now I am on the second semester and I fucking hate it. My parents have already spent so much money on it that I don't think I can quit...

I'm actually in the UK (London) studying an MBBS degree (British version of MD) with a split between pre-clinical and clinical years. It's a very traditional teaching style, lots of lectures and small group tutorials. The only real deviation from that is we are indeed taught a systems-based curriculum.

Just googled what a DO is. To clarify am studying good old allopathic medicine:)

If anyone could give me an advice regarding my heart rate I would greatly appreciate it.

Every time I exercise my heart rate goes stupidly high and I don't know what to do. Today I went for a run and few times I measured it it went slightly above 200 (I'm 21) after 1km. Pace was around 6 min/km. After 250m of walking the heart rate went to around 160-170. After another 1k heart rate again raised to above 200. Then after I finished running it stayed 150-160 for probably more than 20 mins. Sometimes my HR is high when I stand up, even when I'm not doing anything, could be around 120-130. It only takes for me to bend and heart rate drops to normal 70-80.
Probably worth mentioning that even though my HR goes above 200, I can feel no symptoms at all. No pain in chest, no SOB etc.

I've seen cardiologists, electrophysiologist. They said it's "arrhythmia caused by sensitive autonomous regulation" (sensitive sympathetic nervous system to be more precise). Respiratory arrhythmia is very noticeable. I failed veloergometry (exercise stress test) 2 times (because I get scared really quickly, heart rate was simply too high (at around 150) to begin the test). One time I passed veloergometry test, though physician said HR ramped up a bit too quickly, but apart from that, nothing unusual was seen.

Basically everything I got tested for was good except for vitamin D (53nmol/l). Could vitamin D be the cause of this?

To cut a long story short, physicians said I'm fine and there's generally nothing to worry about. Though I really want to believe them and even though they are very good and competent physicians, is it even safe to exercise at HR above 200? Anyone has any advice on how to approach this problem and how should i try to solve it?

You have to take tests or read books regarding sensorial-learning types. I'm a corporal-kinesthetic learner so I react more positively while flipping/typing/writing/doodling etc. It also means I'm kinda retarded so I don't have a large time of undivided attention; I need to take constant breaks and shit.
Anki is good to memorize key concepts. You won't correlate your learning or have any deep knowledge from it.
Right now I'm studying for the spec exam and Anki has helped me to memorize key concepts like GSs, gradings and so on.

I will likely always live insecure of my intelligence because I failed out of pre med. I lived a stunted life after that because it was presumed my socioeconomic status would remain low so I didn’t get many opportunities both in my personal life or professionally. I’m kind of bitter of people in healthcare but also jealous. After communicating a well researched and thought out idea about health or medicine, I always add that what I say means nothing and you should consult your doctor. Although it’s true, it comes from the painful acknowledgment that I failed being one.

This isn’t a therapy thread but if people can shitpost about IQ I can shitpost about this.

26 now, no extended periods of extrasystoles (that I noticed) in the last year, but I don't think it's gone away forever. I think at least one older person in my family has the same condition. As for the heart rate, I haven't checked recently but I wouldn't be surprised if I could still get over 200. I might test it and report back if the thread is still up. Personally I'm not concerned whatsoever about my health, but obviously I can't speak for your particular circumstances, and I'm not a medical professional.

I used Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease (the big one), Golan's Pharmacology, Harrison's Internal Medicine and a book on clinical examination (use whatever is standard for OSCEs in your country). Then when you are learning a specific topic at university, look back at your textbook and read the relevant textbook pages and chapters. From both your lecture slides and your textbook, make Anki cards. Use cloze style cards and image occlusion as much as you can but "basic" flashcards are good as well. Don't be afraid to memorize lists and tables. Make your own lists, tables, classifications and incorporate them into your flashcards. For example, if you want to memorize all of the cellular physiology relevant to catecholamine pharmacology, make a table where each row represents a receptor (e.g. beta1 receptor) and columns that represent the distribution of the receptor around the body, agonists, antagonists, intracellular G-protein, second messenger etc. Then take that table and use IMAGE OCCLUSION.

The essential part of this strategy is using a textbook and treating it as the absolute authority. Use your lectures as a way to introduce yourself to topics and glean extra nuggets of information. By making cards yourself you reinforce the concepts you learn and will put you in a much better position than those who use pre-built decks as you actually learn the stuff properly, and at the same time by using Anki you actually retain what you learn so that you can speak and present your knowledge with confidence. The traditional kind of studying might have worked well 20 years ago when (1) there was less to learn and (2) our attention spans weren't destroyed by the internet.

I don't think an isolated low vitamin D could cause what you've mentioned. Also be aware of the fact that a large portion of the population is "deficient", just eat more animal products or get more sunlight, not a big deal.
There are some maybe obvious medical therapies (e.g. beta blockers) that would help you, but the problem is that the doctor doesn't want to give you medicine if you aren't actually sick. Non-medical therapies are what you should focus on, someone mentioned meditation which may help you increase the vagal tone on your heart. Probably the best recognised way to increase vagal tone naturally is to become fitter, which unfortunately for you seems difficult, if you can find a way to increase your cardiovascular fitness with your condition then that may help you. Other things you can try include: cold showers, fish oil and deep + slow breathing (i.e. meditation).

It occurred to me that my peptic ulcer might be relevant. A stomach ulcer can cause deficiencies in b1 b2 b6 b12 c and folate -- water soluble vitamins. Come to think of it my muscle weakness began presenting within about 8 months of first presentation of the ulcer -- little things like it felt weird to jog and I could no longer perform the routine muscle up to get to the store as at that time used to be easy -- and didn't come to completion until the beginning of this year. So it's pretty much for sure a vitamin issue at this point.

What are the chances that after I resolve this vitamin issue, that I will return to normal? Will any lesions/scar tissue/masses likely be left behind that would prevent function from being fully restored with stem cells?

You should look into a zettelkasen or however it's spelled. The main point of spaced repetition is that memory becomes much stronger if you can recall it right when you are nearing forgetting it.

I really hate it when famous people die of something and then you get a spat of articles about the symptoms of what they died from and all of those symptoms are super-generic and most people get them all of the time.

Ex. "Actor X dies of blah-blah cancer." "Oh, no! He died so young / suddenly!" "Do you know if you have blah-blah cancer? Here are the five most common symptoms: Breathing on occasion, blinking your eyes more than once per day, talking, the urge to drink liquids and finally, responding to the sensation of touch."

Seriously, is this the best that med can do in 2020? Can't we ever get symptoms where you go, "Damn, my piss is a solid purple. Haven't seen that ever." No, they always have these ultra-generic symptoms that just about everyone gets at one time or another in their life.

Most articles I've come across contradict each other, apparently an allergic reaction is supposed to increase their numbers, but when they release their histamine they aren't visible in blood study so are supposed to be low?

The sensitivity and specificity of a TSH screen for hyperthyroidism is 92% and 93% respectively (these perhaps differ between different labs slightly). That means that out of every 100 people who have hyperthyroidism, about 8 of them will have normal TSH levels. Similarly, out of every 100 people who don't have hyperthyroidism, 7 of them will have low TSH levels.

That would be muscle weakness as a direct effect of a vitamin deficiency. I mean are there any diseases caused by a vitamin deficiency that would then in turn cause muscle weakness. So vitamin deficiency would be an indirect cause, causing the disease that then in turn causes muscle weakness. For example: perhaps some combination of vitamin deficiencies causes hyperthyroidism (which then in turn could cause muscle weakness).

Intrinsic factor is only needed for your ileum (distal part of your small intestine) to absorb the vitamin B12. Without intrinsic factor, the vitamin B12 you eat you just shit out. If you inject B12 you bypass the need to get past the small intestine into the blood.

In your epistemological framework, there is no such thing as an anti-intellectual, you dumbass. They don't exist -- people who are anti-intelligence, anti-reason, anti-truth. Everyone who has ever existed has thought that their thoughts are intelligent, reasoned, and the path to truth.

>very stupid question but is DID real?
Yep. Dissociation and hard compartmentalization are real, including the formation of alters stunted at a certain point in a person's development.

>Any way to induce it?
Yes, kind of. Some research indicates you need severe trauma and mental conflict before age 3 to 6 to sort of prime the mind for a dissociative coping strategy, and bias all defense mechanisms towards just shunting unpleasant stimuli into alters that can handle it.. Some research indicates older people with the right predispostion can acquire a limited form of DID. I'm skeptical though, because after the formation of personality I imagine you would need long term isolation to stop your environment from forcibly recreating the identity you tried to escape. The formation of a stable shell persponality requires being closed off enough that outside demands can't threaten it or its lack of knowledge, it can't be made to realize the true extent of its deficits. If it is, the only option is to switch around mentally constantly in accordance with demand, which in an otherwise intact person, would result in self extinction. The alter would probably be absorbed back into the core self.

>I really need to wipe some stuff from my memory
Not possible and not really effective. There are multiple types of memory, one of which is stored in the "body", close to motor output. If you wipe your memory you will still be miserable, if not at first, then eventually. You just won't understand why. Though temporarily it could be a good coping or transitionary mechanism, if you wanted to get some baggage out of the way and start anew. Essentially, all you have to do is learn how memory is stored for you. Then draw the memory in mind, break it down to its underlying associations, and recursively strip them out until there is nothing left to trigger the conscious recollection. Repeat. It's not permanent however, you should pursue ECT for that.

Maybe when he went to the hospital just recently they amputated the toes since they were the actively gangrenous parts of his leg that needed to go. However when he went there they found that a lot of his foot/lower leg was dead and was in the process of becoming gangrenous, which would need to be amputated (cannot revive dead tissue) but has not yet become gangrenous.

A question for med anons

So I'm kinda retarded/air headed, have the attention span of a cat at a laser party and have little mental stutters that cause me to butcher jokes, spill spaghetti instead of delivering cool opportune one liners and repeat big chunks of sentences unconsciously.

I was perscribed adderall when I was younger to help me focus in school, but I only really got an hour/hour and a half of good focus before i crashed and the side effects kicked in and beat my ass. It also made the stutters alot worse after it reached its peak.

I no longer take it but I noticed that I get similar levels of concentration when I drink alcohol or take in sativa dominant strains of cannabis.
>inb4 degenerate druggie
Yes yes I know, but I'm curious as to what specific things cause the 'concentration'. Is it a chemical in my brain being released when I become intoxicated? Is it just a warped perception of reality? I'm just tired of being a doofus. And I'm not sure if its fixable or if I was just born this way.

So long story (very) short: I realized this year that I've been neglecting my intellect and need something to dedicate my life to so I'm slowly coming to medicine. Quick stats:
>currently enlisted
>B.S. in Math 3.6
>Have Bio, Chem, and Cal but only 1 quarter of physics and Ochem, no Biochem or Psych
>sGPA is probably around 3.3 since I was aimless in college and not applying myself at all
>no volunteering since I'm coming out of a long aimless stretch in my life
>No MCAT
Would the EMDP2 program be worth it? I could use my GI Bill when I get out to finish some prereqs and do a shit ton of volunteering at a hospital while dipping into that BAH. Otherwise I could do the EMDP2. I'd rather not stay in, but I'm also going to be realistic about my chances.

Is absolutely any type and any amount of brain damage visible in an MRI?

It would only promote dysgenics if some people are treated and others aren't, and the treated people then become a part of the population of untreated people.

Damn your piss must be crazy pricey. Supplements and multivitamins and whatever aren't any better than snake oil on healthy individuals. They have a role on a selected variety of patients and the only people that shill them are lobbyists, braindead boomers and woke facebook moms.
The only thing that may help you at preserving your joints is avoiding constant repetitive motions and keeping a good lifting form.

Hey /med/ how difficult is psychiatry as a specialty? I am thinking about switching gears entirely and getting into med specifically for psych. Don't know if it will be worth the gamble though. I hear it's generally an easier specialty to match into but I am curious about actual difficulty. On average how many types of drugs and their interactions should you have to know? Is it all just diagnosing according to symptoms in the ICD or DSM? Would be grateful for any info.

Memes aside, time. Heartbreak is a part of life and part of being human. Workout, focus on your hobbies, unplug from the internet and do your best not to ruminate. Spend time in nature, get a pet. After a while, get back out there and give dating another chance. Don't take life too seriously. Human nature is flawed.

Terrible study method. I did the same thing for a month and did well on tests but it was miserable. Ultimately, I found making notes, tables, diagrams, etc to build connections and understand key concepts then supplementing with a premade deck the most efficient. Medicine isn’t just about memorizing random facts on a topic. Understanding how ideas come together and building a strong foundation is what really sets you up for success long term. Everyone forgets the small details and they’re easy to fill in when you review later as long as you have the basics down. Also, it is possible to do well on a test without really understanding the topic.

Yeah the premade deck won’t be comprehensive but it will cover the essentials. Anki really shines with long term retention anyways. You’ll separate yourself from your peers when you’re remembering minor facts 2-3 months past a unit. Assuming you stay caught up with your reviews. There’s also an issue about how you make your cards. Cloze deletion “fill in the blank” is much faster than active recall.

I'm only using cloze cards.
My way of making cards is basically taking notes and then adding cloze to those notes. When i review i'm basically testing myself on the notes i took. The main idea rarely escapes me because i write it on my own words and fill it with cloze. I also use tables and the likes

My problem is time, but i liked what you said about pre-made cards. I should exploit them. Also i have an issue with the books i'm using, i'm starting to wonder if i should even bother reading books like Ross, Gray's, Janeway and Boron when books like Junqueira, Tortora and Silverthorn focus on main ideas only.

white coats are unnecessary. In fact, white coats make me cringe. I once saw a an MD student, or maybe it was a resident who presumably left the hospital nearby, wearing her scrubs and a white coat with a sethescope around her neck to grab coffee from a cafe about 4 blocks away. I was sitting by the table drinking my coffee and reading the paper, looked up briefly and in walks this mid 20s lady in full "I'm a doctor" apparatus it makes me giggle. Totally flexing.

The thing is, on his death bed from gss, my dad had all his wits about him. The notable differences between my family who have died from gss, and I, are: they were all of them in their late 50s; I'm 32. gss killed them quickly; I'm still here.

So the only way it is gss is if alcohol can cause gss to present ~20 years early

It's a hell of a situation, knowing either it is b12 deficiency and snorting is simply insufficient and intramuscular injection is somehow necessary only because sustained and constant release of b12 is necessary for my body to start utilizing it again. Or alcohol abuse somehow causes gss to present ~20 years early and then progression of the symptoms slows to a halt when alcohol consumption is ceased. Which is more plausible?

Waiting 2 months to see a doctor 3 hours away, and then her not so much as ordering a blood test, made me realize that there is always a doctor who graduated at the bottom of their class, and that any retard can be a doctor contingent only on if they try sufficiently hard in school. There is no such thing as learning the stupid away. This apparently can't be left up to noname, plebeian doctors to infer the correct solution in a timely manner, such that even snorting vitamin b pills is more time-efficient than waiting for 2 months to see an actually stupid doctor.

As a med student, I hate the white coat. It’s old school boomer and looks overly formal and out of place since so few doctors bother with them now. More importantly, in the U.S. at least, a lot of other medical specialties started wearing them so it’s lost all meaning. This includes NPs, PAs, pharmacists, even some nurses. They walk around the hospital thinking they look cool and patients often mistake them for docs.

Funny enough, jackets and vests with embroidered name has replaced the white coat for a lot of younger physicians. But unfortunately everyone else started jumping on the trend.

Buddy you ain't a doctor and have no idea of the extent of harm that can be caused on a person by consulting and prescribing on the internet. Matter of facts you're retarded enough to not only do it on the internet but in one of the most degenerate parts of the Internet.
Your sophisms and overly verbose posts are all retard cope straight from /pol/ and factually put you on the double digit end of the Bell's curve. And from what we can gather from your braindead posts you're a degenerate boomer junkie from Jackshit Nowhere who couldn't get into higher education and decided to mindlessly grind on a series of unskilled trades that didn't even granted him job stability or basic health benefits. Let's all add the fact that you also lack the familiar support to take care of you or even lend you some money to pay a good physician. You're either born into a long lineage of deadbeats or you pushed all your familiar ties away with your degeneracy.
The only compassion/understanding/pity that you'll receive from here is in the form of a timely "fuck off to your GP" so please stop being a pest and get help.
