This sounds pretty retarded. You're not thinking about the social impact of a suicide within a family. This creates instability within infrastructure and it will only extend further, displacing stress and making the entire environment volatile because there's no help for people, and they lead their life up to killing themselves. I don't know, you don't sound very white, so maybe it's a race thing. Us whites want to see each other be well and prosper for the most part.

They are part of it but you’d need to have them for at least 6 months and have had hallucinations and a psychotic episode.
You used drugs though so maybe you did start an psychotic episode or some other latent disorder.

ok so I have a medical ethics question:
Suppose post-intracavernosal injection with alprostadil and papaverine, I develop priapism. There is no emergency room for 200 miles, as I live in a rural area. My options are to risk permanent damage to my penis, depriving me of years of pleasure, or to allow the next door neighbor's daughter to "help" me alleviate the pressure - trouble being that her mother is also my patient and I tend to talk in my sleep post-coitous and so risk disclosing doctor-patient confidentiality protected information to the daughter.
What should one do?

I very rarely use drugs, like once every two years, and it's been more than 3 years since I've used weed before New Year's Eve.

[Anonymous No.12678828]

>WTF
>Any stories?
I'm a fifth year so I've yet to have to do this myself, but we frequently have to tell people who are elderly or have bad prognosis (but not a death sentence) that their treatment isn't funded and they have to go private if they want anything other than a referral to palliative care. It makes sense, if you only have one treatment and two patients, a 60 year old and an 80 year old, you give it to the 60 year old, but I imagine that's not much consolation for the 80 year old.

Another problem is waiting lists. I've seen patients told they'd have to wait three months to see an oncologist, and cancer can go from treatable to terminal in that time, especially if the patient is late presenting.

Also drugs. We're about five years behind America when it comes to drugs. Dabigatran wasn't funded until 2011 here, despite being in use in the United States since at least 2008. No one in New Zealand has gotten a COVID-19 vaccine either.
>Can you argue with the govt
Yeah but they can take months to give you a response, by which time your patient is already dead, and they usually don't change their mind.

Your life started to decay as soon as your umbilical cord got cut. Everything else from there may look like development but it's just further degeneration into the human form.
If I had a chronic degenerative illness diagnosed I'd feel kinda relieved to know I'll have a preset date to die. Most folks never put any thought into their existence only to end up as minced meat on a car crash. What kind of life is that?

I started noticing that I was waking up every night to use the bathroom, and then it turned into multiple times a night. I went to a urologist, tried some medicines that didn’t help, and didn’t suspect MS.

I later had a brief onset of double vision when looking to my left, but MS wasn’t mentioned then either and it resolved on its own after a month.

I didn’t think at all about MS until I tried a new urologist about 2 years after my symptoms had started and he mentioned it as a possibility in our first appointment. It didn’t think of it much at first until I looked closer at little annoyances I had been ignoring - the double vision, my restless legs at night, my vision getting dim/washed out when I’m outside in the heat or exercising, my increased clumsiness.

My urologist referred me to a neurologist, who scheduled me for MRIs. Within two hours of taking the MRIs I got a call that there were lesions on my spine. A few weeks and a lumbar puncture later, I got my official diagnosis.

Society generally allows "authoritarian" measures for children and young adults in the context of schools. You're not going to fix some mentally ill lardass by penalizing him, I mean these people life horrible lives, they don't care. I'd say offering an actual wide variety of sports/athletic programs to children and making attendance mandatory would do a lot, add some basic physiology and dietary stuff to the curriculum and you'd probably get a lot of children and young adults used to a more active lifestyle which would do wonders in the long term.

Today I did a covid test sicne I need it to travel for my studies.
It has been like 2 days since I have been having mild pain in the chest while laughing hard/coughing/deeply breathing.
I looked it up and it sounds like Pleurisy, also known as pleuritis.
And apparently it's mostly due to viral infections. and one of the main COVID symptoms.
I'll know for sure in a day or 2, but what do you think? Other than that I'm fine. Should I worry?
Is it a common symptom, something that could just come and go like a cold? it's very mild all things considered and I feel fine breathing normally.
I'm freaking out, also because I live with my old dad, and tomorrow I'll need to go into an hopsital for a different reason.
I probably should not.

Go be in nature. Pills are mean't to give you a boost, psych therapy is the only thing that fixes problems and thats over a long time. Some diseases require meds forever (e.g. schizo, bipolar). You sound like youre just under stress. Go out and hike a mountain, or somewhere you can be alone with the birbs and other creatures. If you can't fix the problem, at least just go see nature and be around a calming environment. I know some races don't like going innawoods, I can't help you really. White man love the woods, it's based and tranquil. Designate working time, sleeping time, etc. Get yourself on a schedule and stick to it - providing structure in your life will make goals seem tangible and predictable and thatll help you gain more mental stability to overcome to obstacles youre facing.

Help please, I need a rundown on Ritalin vs Focalin.
I'm functionally retarded and can't read, so I'm unable to figure this one out by myself.

Ritalin is a compound called methylphenidate.
Focalin is a particular isomer of that compound called dexmethylphenidate.
They both have similar mechanisms of action but differ in their drug kinetics because Focalin is an isomer.

Ritalin is better for narcolepsy but both are effective for ADHD.
Other differences are in side effect profile. Most of the side effects are the same but a few are different.
Focalin has side effects like jitteriness or restlessness. Ritalin has side effects nausea, vomiting, presyncope, blurred vision. Not everyone will experience these side effects.

They also interact with different medications so you should talk to your doctor about which is better for you based on your medical history. Also to determine which is cheaper for you based on insurance if that's an issue.

That's the part I'm interested in, more precisely the equipotence of dosages. There's a table of binding profiles on the wikipedia page, but I don't understand what they mean. Then for Ritalin, it says that there's conversion to l-MPH, which has bigger numbers in the binding profile table, but d-MPH is supposed to be more active. What gives?

Is this the table you're talking about?
Kf is inversely related to affinity.

So if I surmise correctly, Ritalin has ~60% the effectiveness of Focalin at equal dosage and release speed?

is the top of the crown of the skull supposed to be totally smooth and featureless? or are some grooves/ridges/bumps normal?

i was in the shower and shampooing my hair and i was moving my scalp around and feeling the bone underneath and i noticed that at the top of the crown of my skull that there are some perceptible ridges and lumps/bumps. i don't think its actually noticeable on the surface of my scalp, only when i wiggle and press down a bit in order to get a sense for the geometry of my skull

[Anonymous No.12690819]

>>12690626
Yes you could say that. So dose wise:
>Ritalin 10mg twice a day=Ritalin 20mg/day
>Ritalin 20mg/day=Focalin 10mg/day
Which is what we actually use if want to change doses.

It most likely isn't an issue at all. If you notice some bump on your head has grown in size after a month or so, then see a doc. Take a pic before and after a month if you want to be absolutely certain. But the likelihood of this is low.
And in terms of having an attractive skull, your hair covers that so who cares? There's hair loss treatments too.

Tbf viruses are very complicated and behave very uniquely compared to every other organism we know of. Similarly, out immune system is extremely complicated and we are constantly learning things about it.

It's also an open secret that big pharma does not want people to be healthy, or even for healthcare systems to effectively treat people; big pharma prefers a population of perpetually sickly, unquestioning bovine-people. And so even if you hate it, people who are vigilant and question basic presumptions about health and illnesses, they may be misguided but they understand something isn't right and they should be making determinations for themselves. They're based even if they arrive to wrong conclusions, because at least they understand on some level the true nature of the real world

Same poster. I have bad health anxiety. I can trace it back to my grandmother having breast cancer when I was a kid, but it really started around 14. I am scared of having cancer.

It's called the Arnold's nerve cough reflex.
The auricular branch of the vagal nerve ("Arnold's nerve") is in the external auditory meatus. When it is irritated by mechanical stimulation, commonly with an otoscope or irrigation like in your case, it activates sensory afferent fibers in the vagal nerve which have the same distribution as Arnold's nerve which then send impulses through vagal efferent fibers and through the superior and laryngeal nerves (which arise from the vagal nerve) stimulate the glottis and vocal cords, inducing a cough.
