>i can't see a doc right now because of corona
or some other sorry ass excuses like that and to top it off, the vast majority of these interactions it will be completely fucking useless, because you can't diagnose shit over the internet based on some niggers written description of their vague problems. So it just shits up the thread. If you want to do that go ahead, but do it in your own thread, I'm sure there will be no shortage of takers either way.

Just how much can your diet impact your mood? The difference in how I feel when I fast is unbelievable, when I eat regularly I'm lethargic, unmotivated and depressed, when I fast (one meal a day), I feel great, super motivated, optimistic and just...great. I want to say it's just placebo, but the effect is absurdly strong, and it seems at least weakly correlated and consistent.

So, my question is this: is it at least theoretically possible? Are there any mechanisms related to fasting that could cause such a dramatic change in mood? It truly is night and day difference.

The peds unit says this occurs more often than one would like to think. They had one kid stay for 2 years until he aged out and was placed in a long term care home.

Yeah peds is depressing. On top of my head I remember a 14 year old guy who got some kind of malignant brain tumor. Made it through radio and chemo to end up depressed so he tried to anhero to his head with a .22 but the poor guy survived the bullet, the craneotomy and the intensive care with half a brain only for the cancer to return a year later or so.
The cases in there make you question existence itself. Luckily I spent most of my rotation in pediatric surgery and left the grunt work to the other interns.

I see the point with peds being depressing though. Its strange remembering all us excited 1st years who wanted to go into peds to get the sense of doing good, and saving kids and shit. Real reality check when you're on the unit. I mean, peds isn't all bad. It's nice to treat conditions that aren't usually caused by some type of self-neglect like in adults.

hey, me fucking up in a single decision can cause losses in the tens of millions to society not to mention the social and human costs, when your average stem nigger (who deals with more complex and ambiguous shit than me, so ruling out most people with actual jobs) fucks up, the costs are negligible.

Ob/gyn if you like working with women and women's health
Peds if you like children
Medicine if you don't either above
Family medicine if you like ob/gyn, peds, and other adult medicine

MD/PhD guys are usually super motivated like this guy or the biggest nerds you've met.
If you're extremely interested in academic research within medicine mostly then go for it.
Workload will vary depending on your project but what I've seen is they usually do 2 years of med school basic sciences alone with maybe some basic research then their PhD for 4 or so years then finish up with 2 years of clinical. So it's spread out and not super intense but still a bit more intense than either alone.

"A fasting plasma glucose of ≥7.0mmol/L, a 2-hour plasma glucose value in a 75g oral glucose tolerance test of ≥11.1mmol/L or a glycated hemoglobin (A1C) of ≥6.5% can predict the development of retinopathy. This permits the diagnosis of diabetes to be made on the basis of each of these parameters.

The term “prediabetes” refers to impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance or an A1C of 6.0% to 6.4%, each of which places individuals at increased risk of developing diabetes and its complications."

Hope he finds a family who will love and raise him right unlike those terrible parents.
Was he abused at all?

I know a somewhat similar case but the patient was older in her 20s. She was a cerebral palsy and schizophrenic patient who came in for severe ITP. She was on carbamazepine for seizures and eventually developed neutropenia and neutropenic fever. Eventually treated and everything was fine. Her parents who were her legal guardians refused to take her back basically saying they thought she would die so they wouldn't have to take care of her anymore.
She stayed in the hospital for months after as social work tried to find a place for her. She kept getting rejected because she was aggressive around new people. I don't know whether it stemmed from abuse but when washing her one of the nurses told me and the attending she had some scars on her inner thigh and labia.
She eventually found placement and was discharged.
She liked seeing me around. Would always wave to me and walk over with her spastic diplegic scissor gait to talk to me. I felt real sorry for her but hopefully she's better off now.

We see some terrible shit don't we.

>does that affect in any way how you treat non-white patients?
I think most of the time non-white patients are honestly better served by people from their community. There are so many underlying social cues that a particular culture, ethnicity, or community can understand and that can affect healthcare because we're dealing with dynamic human subjects who can lie or withhold information important for diagnosis and treatment.
For example, had a young black man come in, asked him about drug use. Couldn't get anything out of him. Another black resident went in, spoke to him and was able to figure out how much of each drug he used each day which helped a lot in treatment.
But I strive to treat everyone as how I or my mom would want to be treated as a patient.

He is raised by very neglectful parents, so I guess. He was in the ski-doo accident because the parents let him ride around with his old brother. The 9 year old was in a regular sled that was tied with a rope on the back of the ski-doo. Parents weren't supervising the kids. Accident was called in by bystanders, and the older brother was then found to be under the influence. The kids have not been to a pediatrician since they were both toddlers.

There are so many types of tumors it could be. Not necessary a brain tumor. Could be a chondroid syringoma for example.
But you can't really tell anything without imaging and biopsy.
I don't want to give you false hope though or put you into despair. Just wait and hope for the best. Cancer patients who do well are usually ones that are hopeful about their prognosis and have family support. Even if the prognosis is poor, use what time you have in the best way possible.

>Are you racist?
Yes and no. I work in a heavily ethnic community. There are certain stereotypes that are completely true, no matter how "woke" you are on politics. Lots of drugs, violence, theft, gangs, kids with no futures, poor education, no jobs. I actually think it's more of a gender thing than a racial one. The young males from the predominant ethnic group are almost invariably retarded assholes who I usually only see doing sketchy shit on the streets, their kid is fucked up, or they got fucked up. It's fucking retarded because when I ask them questions like "what did the fluid look like"?, they puff up their chest, scowl, and give me a dirty "yea". Basically, no manners. The young females are usually only shit if they're hooked up with a troublesome male (often). One of our receptionists is taking a year off because of domestic problems (i.e. abuse; she came to work with poorly concealed black eye last summer). The middle age and elderly ethnic females are very much your typical motherly woman. Middle age males are generally okay, older males are almost always except for being stubborn. So it's hard not to look at the changing gang tags on the side of the clinic sometimes and not think "you're retards". I've been thinking of how to help the community, even going as far as considering offering tutoring, but I'm just not sure if a white guy doing that would be well received.

Does it affect my care? Maybe, but I try not to. I know it's bad form to, but I just see patients as a walking checklist. I do try to elicit their preferences when I can, but it's just information that goes into the checklist. So whether you're nigger, wop, kike, chink, honky, or poo, it doesn't matter to me unless it relates to specific ethnic/genetic things on the checklist. No, I don't believe in microaggressions.

Med school isn't hard. The hardest part is getting in. You will be disappointed when you realize most of your class are just brainlets and lazy fucks.

banning trash foods, forcing children in school to have healthy lifestyle and promoting awareness about the dangers of being a lazy fatass would have a lot higher impact than eugenics. genetics can only take you so far when you are eating 400g of sugar per day

It's really fucked up today. The science is there. But the government won't encourage people to have a healthy lifestyle. When you look a old pictures from the 1940s there were almost no obese people

They tested Tsh and T4, but it was normal. I guess there are no other ways to test thyroid issues

[Anonymous No.12677794]

>>12677779
There are other ways like ultrasound, biopsy, antibody testing, T3 and TBG but not recommended in your case.

lol no. I imagine that the reason doctors seem so fit is 1. A-type personalities generally and 2. knowing about all the easily preventable chronic diseases and their complications makes you want to avoid them

What? If you're implying I'm a faggot then I'm not.
It just happens that their psyops are organized and target specifically lonely people in order to make them as not mentally ill.
And no. I'm not the schizo that calls people tranny at random but I do agree with the fact that they're a psyop.

Guys, please tell me the effects of using MDMA for the first time aren't permanent. I feel like my cognition dropped significantly, my short-memory is fucked, sometimes I can't follow reason and logic to save my life - which lead to very embarrassing moments at work - and I can't sleep properly anymore. I'm really fucking scared I might become a vegetable by 30s (I'm 24).
I've used just shy of 1g on New Year's Eve with some weed, I have never been the same since then.

what if the state wants to force out stuff that is against the good of the public but they're too blind to see? That happens a lot in generally every government now. I'm around that political spectrum and that's still a worry for me. I unironically want to know more about a fascist medical system, or even the nationalist germant med system. Too bad they couldn't have had more time so we could see the population outcomes in the long term. It's mostly speculation on being a better future, but even though, where there's smoke there's fire.
