Question - anyone have a person come in who's suffered from abusive family/spouse (evident from whatever they're coming in for)?
How do you deal with that, especially in situations where the person would a) be a minor, or b) still want to be with their abuser, and likely would go back to them if the opportunity is presented to them?

No. And neither do nutritional fact sheets.

I don't know the details, but I think they burn the food to measure the calories it releases and estimate the proportions of carbohydrates etc. Biodisponibility of foods and suplements varies in every individual and it would be too expensive to factor for all the shit.

Hey anons, how's it going in the hospital treating your COVID patients. Let's talk about the miracle stories, heartbreaks, or just vent about the stress of constantly working alone on an island with these isolation rooms

I'm working ICU as an RN in Texas and because of my age/other nurses being pussies I'm having COVID's daily and have become my Neuro units "COVID expert" (sucks for them I'm inexperienced and retarded). Had a extremely obese viral-pneumonia positive that just seemed like a death sentence along w/ her other co-morbidities. Well she managed to get trached and pegged and after some intense trouble with desaturations it dawned on me, this lady was talking around her Trach so we were oxygenating the wrong thing all along. Switched to the face mask and she did beautifully. Told the doc what was going on (of course he already knew and had told the shift prior to start capping trials etc.) and she did wonderful on our proper capping trials and she got the trach pulled out the next day and sent to the floor. She kept calling me her angel and it reminded me why we do this. Plus she lost a ton of weight being ventilated for a month, lucky her!

On the flipside I went through one of the most disastrous extubations of a spanish speaking aphasic patient. We couldn't suction her because she simply did not trust any of us and passing a 14 french down her nose did little. The doc not wanting to have to re-intubate ordered racemic epi but the RT was from the floor and didn't have it ready/didn't even know where it was. The doc who most graciously decided to stick around in the room with me from the beginning just looked at me and uncharacteristically said "this is becoming a shit show" and remarked about how nobody wanted to help us because of the COVID. Well we re-intubated (the anesthesiologist also wisely commented, "holy shit your patient looks like total fuck") and she died alone a couple weeks later.

3rd year DO here. Your chances of prestigious residency are lower. Derm, ophto, neuro surg, IR, are basically impossible. We have like <10 DOs out of over a thousand match each of those per year. Most other things will be fine, but you'll likely match a lower tier residency than your MD counterpart. Learning OMM is annoying and mostly a waste of time. Basically, you really get punished a lot for fucking up in pre med, but at the end of it you still get to be a doctor and help people while making doctor money.

You could argue that learning a lot of stuff in medical school is a waste of time. But OMM is actually quite beneficial to people and if I hadn't matched rads I probably would have done FM/neuromuscular medicine. Yes, I am a radiology resident who thoroughly enjoyed doing OMM.

I actually didn't fuck up in pre-med. My MCAT was an even split 515 which is roughly a 35 on the old scale, my UG s/cGPA was over a 3.8 from a respectable institution, I had the ECs albeit cookie-cutter but they checked off the boxes. Everything was there, but I didn't/haven't gotten any love from MD schools. I figure they are simply that competitive now. DO however have given me a lot of attention. Ultimately, MD would have been nice for the reasons you guys have mentioned but i'm fortunate enough to have a DO acceptance only a few hours from my home.

Yeah we have a ton of people match those, super viable. You picked three of the specs where OMM can actually be helpful as well. If being a DO won't hurt your ego, I'd say go for it. That being said your stats are very competitive for MD. I'm pretty surprised you didn't get any love.

The itch makes it less likely to be cellulitis, but it doesn't mean there isn't more than 1 process going on. Generally, the antibiotics we give are pretty benign and likely won't cause you too many issues. If you feel strongly about it, you can always hold off on starting them and see if it gets better/worse. If you already started, just finish the course.

Having to deal with uncooperative surgeons, stupid patients, stressful night calls, the corona crysis, tutors that don't give a fuck about you and say to you "you're doing fine anon", but yet you feel unready is stressing me out a bit. The situations I get myself into are not written in the textbooks and they require me to have pure practical experience which I don't have. All this frustrates me. But on the other hand, I don't know if I could do another job.

Perfect.

since my late teens I've been getting gradually more off. Like, my problem solving ability is fine, but I've had increasing vertigo, and some, idk, mild episodes of light headedness that can last for a few minutes. I'm not really describing it perfectly. It's like if I were to be taking a drug or something and everything kinda "wooshes" and while I can make sense of what's happening I feel like I may be losing it, like I could faint or something.
What the hell is going on. I remember back in my early teens my ability to perceive the moment was crystal clear, and now everything just feels kinda hazy or dreamy. I don't know what the fuck is going on...

i understand no reply to this is medical advice and that i should see a doctor. however,
is mere swelling a sign of infection? i had an in-grown toe nail, shaved the nail down. it begin to get purulant, so i put antibiotic ointment on it and cleaned it out for a few days.

now, it's hurting much less, no major discharge. but it's still inflamed. i can't tell if the infection is getting worse or not. is just inflammation a sign it's still infected? i figure if it's hurting less, with less discharge, then it must be doing better, but it's weird that it's still having such inflammation. it doesn't seem to be spreading. thoughts?

Stop. this is the final solution. Warm 100-110F water irrigation, followed with this. If that doesn't help you feel better, the next step is prescription anyway (Otic solution). This eye wash is purified water, boric acid, benzalkonium which is the Otic solution without the antibiotics and cortisone. If you are in generally good health, you should be able to fight off the occasional ear infection, as humans did for thousands of years. Good luck.

Eat raw vegetables, leaves and stems with water along with smaller meals. You need a whole lifestyle intervention, probably. Bad breath is poor oral hygiene and an indicator.

However yesterday he was brought to an hospital, because and this is what I gather not directly from the source because of auditory hallucinations, the room mates called the ambulance for him but they did not do anything and told him he had to go to a specialist.

He is currently staying in Britain so I don't know what kind of modus operandi the hospitals have over there which would have barred them from finding about his problems, I will have to ask him directly once he feels better and I actually see him but anyone here ITT has any idea what they might have and could not check?

Once again, I have not made it into med school. I'm an ausfag and this is the 3rd time I've made it to the interview stage (final stage) and I've been rejected once again. I've almost started another career and at this stage, I'm about to give up on the med dream. Do any of you anons have any coping mechanism for being an autist? It's just so depressing and frustrating to not be good enough for multiple years. Maybe I not gonna make it :(

by the way, before someone says see a doctor, we are. my wife has been undergoing intense treatment for Lyme. our doctor recommended the book Toxic by Dr. Neal Nathan to my wife. that book touches a bit on Lyme but much more so on mold related illness.

because of that book, i felt comfortable asking the doctor to run a urine screening for mycotoxin, finding the above. she wants us to do an ERMI test before treating the exposure so that we can perform mold remediation/mitigation if necessary. i don't believe that the test would have been ordered unless i'd have asked. not unless the Lyme treatment dragged on for a while longer without her staying unwell.

her verrucarin a is high as well.

Relatively minimal. I developed the "Microwave Sickness" syndrome just as it was characterized by the Soviets in the 1960's, and I can often tell when I'm being irradiated and the general signal scheme (the Soviets also found this to be true in Polish workers interestingly), but it's never reached the level a lot of people with EHS describe. Since then I've met a few people with the whole deal, chronic lyme, "Morgellons", MCS/CFS/EHS, and I'll just I'm not sure they're strictly separate phenomena. I also suspect some amount of chronic lyme could be synthetic biology, ie biomimetic nanotechnology. Supposedly applying a TENS machine to the individual will quickly tell you whether it's really lyme etc.

I haven't heard of that book, perhaps I should check it out. I consider things over a fairly wide range, and over time I talk about these topics less and less. I'm uninterested and unwilling to invest energyto focus in strictly on the subset which is socially acceptable. The Overton window.

Regarding EHS. Three things:
1) Some papers have shown an ability to detect well above chance
2) Sampling bias is difficult to control for. ie, just becase nocebo exists for some, doesn't mean EHS exists for none
3) Many papers have shown reliable objectively measureable physiological responses in both humans and animal models. Which is quite impressive considering there are almost literally no controls or naive subjects with which to get a strong shift from baseline.

In my case I can definitely tell. In one case it was with a rental car, started having cold clammy skin and a speedy aggressive feeling (as well as a strange sense of body position in space). Checked out the car further, which I'd previously pulled a bunch of fuses to disable some shit, and found the onstar module probably had a 4G LTE capability. Pulled that fuse too, it stopped happening. DECT phones are the clearest, they really scramble the mind and getting too close to them, or putting them up to my head, causes a sort of quasi-seizure. In one instance it triggered involuntary spasming of the arm (testing without battery and witha rock of similar size did not cause this), and I was in a store the other day with a DECT phone on the counter. By the time I got done paying I was trying to listen to what the woman behind the counter was saying and I just could not seem to understand or generate a response. I did eventually respond (coherently), and I was trying to put the stuff in the bag and it was as though I didn't have depth perception, just couldn't seem to get my hand to go in the bag. Was disoriented for the next several hours. It's either the DECT, or the RFID magnetic induction system of the payment thing. Very obnoxious, regardless. One of many such instances you begin to correlate.

I think high levels of NO may be required for field transduction, or something resembling demodulation in tissues. One paper (Bawin et al, her last paper) found field effects would still occur so long as NO was present, whether it was chelated with Hb, or the synthases were blocked. Merely being present was adequate. Perhaps methylxanthines and ryanodine receptor activity lowers the threshold for adverse responses to EMF, mold, chemical, etc.

I've used anki for a number of engineering courses to great success. Pretty much learned 2 of my courses in 2 weeks using it and passed, one time. I think the key is to be meticulous about making your decks - use snipping tool to copy in figures and equations, and make your cards high-quality and difficult. I've literally memorized like 50-60 equations and their context in the space of days using anki, because by making the cards you basically get a first pass of all your material, and then by reviewing them you can do spaced repetition literally anywhere. Especially with the phone app (at least on android).

tl;dr anki is too fucking good to be free. genuine godsend

Then she thinks I have a heart condition and that that's more immediately important.
