Are there still people dumb enough to make their mental health issues public with medical school administrators?
Did nobody ever tell you to NEVER get evaluated by a psychiatrist/psychologist if you are a doctor or becoming one?
If you ever need help with mental health you have to go private and don't let the doctor keep any records about you.

Probably 30% of all med students in America have a fake ADHD diagnosis to get free amphetamines. Still don't get your school involved unless you're retarded.
The reason why you never go to a psychiatrist as a doctor or med student is because they can and they will declare you unfit to practice medicine and then you are fucked.

Let's say I hypothetically suspect it possible I am suffering from a tapeworm infection. Let's also say I am hypothetically unable or unwilling to see a doctor about it. Would I be able to self treat using pic related? Looks like the suggested use (for humans) is 10-20mg per kg of bodyweight taken either once or three times 4 hours apart in a single day.

Now obviously one can't just purchase this chemical without a prescription. At least not for humans. However if it's for fish or cats or dogs, that's perfectly legal to buy without a prescription. Would pic related be safe? Or is there a difference between these? Inquiring minds would like to know.

right? Only thing that concerns me is how much cheaper it is. I see online a singe 600mg blitricde (just generic praziquantel) going for like $70-$80, but here this 25grams of what as far as I can tell is the exact same chemical, but it's a fraction of that price. Seems weird but I guess not unheard of in the world of pharma. but it should be safe, right? Do they do anything differently with these products? Since it's not marked as for human consumption, surely they could get away with lower safety or purity standards, right? Although it quite literally says "100% pure", but then again I doubt it's like anyone is actually testing them. Also isn't that actually impossible? 100% purity?

Obviously fish medication isn't quality controlled by the FDA, so technically they could get away with selling you sugar-powder laced with trace praziquantel, but then the fish-antihelminthics market doesn't seem like a the biggest draw for pharam scammers. But yes, there is probably no third party testing or quality control involved. If you're really that adamant about not seeing a doctor and still that concerned about contaminants I'd just look for fish forums and see if the shit you want to take killed anyones kois

Okay lads, the doctor told me I can stay on medication that will definitely wear off, or I can have surgery and get this over with but might have a slight chance of it coming back.

He told me that MVD is usually the best option but there's a slight chance of complications if not done properly (Fucked up hearing, worst case scenario is stroke/death). Gamma Knife surgery provides years of pain-free experience and is non-invasive, but he told me he had patients come back to him that the pain came back after a couple of year and is much worse, so they had MVD. I was thinking of doing either Gamma Knife or Cyberknife for the naive reason of living many years pain free until there's a much better option. I'm still 28 and I don't wanna risk brain damage just yet.

My friend has had testicular pain for two months now. He barely goes out anymore because of it. He's done an echography, no varicocele, no cancer, no epididymitis. He also did urine and blood tests, both negative. He was precribed painkillers and 9 weekly physiotherapy sessions for contracted adductors and psoas. The physiotherapy helped reduce the pain at first but it stabilized now. He can't get an erection or fap without his pain increasing significantly. He's got a doctor appointment next monday but I was wondering if someone could offer him an educated opinion in the meantime.

Are my procreation chances doomed?

My sister has low functioning autism.
I have ADHD but tested negative to autism.
My brother is maybe also not neurotypical but not tested with anything.
My mother was seemingly normal but her three siblings are weird but high-functioning.
There are also more low-functioning autistic people further up that side of the family tree.

Given all this, am I basically guaranteed to get an autistic child if I procreate?
I am particularly interested in the chances of getting a low-functioning autistic child because that shit is no joke.

During surgery, most of the penis is disassembled and the components are used for vulvar, vaginal, and clitoral construction.
A neovaginal cavity is dissected in Denonvilliers' space between the bladder and rectum.
This neovaginal cavity is lined with inverted penile skin, which produces a skin-lined vaginal cavity that shrinks little, is nonhair bearing, and sensate.
The goal of vaginoplasty is to create a feminine vulva, a hooded and sensate clitoris, labia minora, and, for those who express the wish to be able to engage in neovaginal penetrative intercourse, a deep and wide enough neovaginal cavity to facilitate penetration, all with the least possible surgical complications.
Before surgery, the genital is generally depilated. In the first days after penile inversion vaginoplasty, the neovagina is rinsed with betadine, but later only with water.
Dilation is performed daily in the first postoperative year.
Dilators are routinely cleansed with water, but not regularly with antimicrobial agents.
After surgery, sexual functioning and postoperative satisfaction are paramount.
Little is known on microbiological and fungal characteristics or associated pathology of the neovagina.

Apparently the average neonatology fellowship is around 2/3 research and 1/3 patient care. Now I'm not disregarding the importance of research, I realize that the only reason we are able to do what we can for these sick babies is in large part thanks to research, but this isn't going to be the roll of the vast majority of neonatologists. We need clinicians out there treating patients as well. I find it crazy that the majority of my training isn't what I will actually be what I am doing in my job, but producing (let's be honest here) mostly unimportant research. The fellowship used to be only 2 years in the 90s but most peds specialites were converted to 3. Hell, most pediatric hospitalists are now required to do 3 years of fellowship following residency. Is the pediatric inpatient that much more complex compared to the adult inpatient that it requires 3 more years? Sorry I realize none of you probably give a shit about pediatrics but these things are very frustrating to me and I am drunk and must vent...

Unironically justify saving extreme preterm babies without "Muh sacred life" (same shit anti abortion retards spout).
You are costing the healthcare system millions to save children that end up with severe mental deficits. Parents are forced into PTSD to see their newborn suffer in the NICU for sometimes months, just to either see them die due to sepsis or end up having a child with permanent brain damage.
Neonatology is the most unmoral specialty there is.

Nigger, most of the time all a neonatologist does is chuck antibiotics at kids for 3 days and kick them out. About 1 in 20 kids needs a short course of antibiotics to prevent sepsis and death, or phototherapy to avoid becoming dumbasses. Out of those only 1 in 100 will get filled with meconium, and only 1 in 1000 will be needing ventilation and thats it. Only 1 in 5000 will be needing intubation and further care, and these still can grow up to be a regular person. The ones with even more preterm births are very rare. Out of my country with 7 million people, like 3 kids die per week for neonatal complications.

If I got bad grades (2.5 gpa) in undergrad a decade ago and don't have money, is there any pathway to becoming a doctor? I'm better at studying now, I worked through some of my old textbooks problems and got correct answers without cheating.

I make money doing anime commissions and programming stuff on fiverr and upwork and stuff but I want to do more with myself. I'm actually really good socially and can happliy talk with sstrangers with no anxiety.

I need to know something for a story

Let's say that in a SHTF situation a woman got captured and beaten unconscious and then someone used a scalpel and rubbing alcohol and had decent surgery knowledge to basically cut into her lower spine around L2 to paralyze her, then sew it back up and sterilize. Then tried to keep her as a pet In a wheelchair basically. I imagine she would die from infection eventually even if someone did a good job in such crude conditions, but what sort of infection would it be and what would the symptoms be? This is for a story so don't worry. I just want to describe things as realistically as possible as to what would happen to her.

Sorry, I didn't specify. They paralyzed her legs only. They severed her spine at L2. This was in a tabletop roleplaying game, like Dungeons and Dragons. In a post-apocalyptic setting. The players' characters captured her and did this to her and kept her as a "pet" in a wheelchair, then brought her back to their village and kept her in their infirmary where she started slowly dying of disease. Then they felt guilty so they went looking for medicine for her. If they fail to find it, or don't make it back in time, I want the village nurse to relate her death to them in a gruesome way so they feel bad.

I've been taking anti-psychotics that make my mouth dry, and I've had a rough few months so I wasn't as hygienic as normal. Calculus built up again so now it's chronic. Dentist gave me a lecture on brushing and flossing more often because I have bleeding gums and calculus. I don't know why she didn't get the bacteria/pathogens tested, nor prescribe me antibiotics. I got some anti-tartar floss instead of the usual stuff I buy and chlorhexidine gluconate/alcohol mouth rinse. I'll try to get more and more vitamin C and D. What else should I do beyond this and regular hygiene (3 times brushing, 2 times mouth wash, 3 times flossing a day)?

bone growth/remodeling needs both clasts and blasts. if you sub bisphosphonates into bone and induce clast apoptosis you don't remodel the bone you lay down. You have bone, but it's relatively weak (think about bones of osteopetrosis). the break allows time for remodeling

I like that you're doing your homework for your dnd game. Maybe look into cerebrospinal fluid leak? Can occur due to medical interventions and your bootleg disabling of the poor girl could cause it potentially. A complication is brain herniation, which causes coma and death, but before that you get really bad headaches. I wouldn't be able to tell you the exact time to death off the top of my head - depends on how bad the leak is. But should be longer than mengingitis.

Normally there shouldn't be any antibodies against the thyroid gland, so anything above 0 is abnormal.

yeah lifetime dietary studies could make sense. Apart from looking at the obvious things like causes of death and overall life satisfaction, there might be the possibility to pull some epigenetic fuckery.
Though i kinda have to add that there are already giant long term studies for stuff like cardiovascular disease and they also managed to provide significant evidence for the most prominent risk factors like smoking. Even with imperfect test groups most disruptive factors can obviously be suppressed by sheer sample size.
A perfect group of subjects might make smaller risk factors more appartent or at least put a lot of autistic minds at ease.

I just found out yesterday that I have an inguinal hernia, and it on-off hurts like a bitch, but it's small and doesn't contain a bowel. Surgery frens, is there really no other way to alleviate it besides surgery? I know the usual mainstream sources claim so, but then again they also claimed that the v@x is 100% effective and my local surgeons follow those sources unwaveringly. On the other hand, the few "hernia natural cure" I've spotted seemed like broscience or scam artists. Is there a middle position on all this?

Couple years ago I went to the doctor with an ache in my side that wouldn’t go away and I was worried it was appendicitis. When they took my blood sample they found that my lipase level was at like 600 which was way above the healthy level.
They just wrote it down as idiopathic acute pancreatitis and called it a day.
I’ve still never understood what caused this.
Anybody know of things that can trigger excess lipase production? It only happened once

The height of your lipase level has very little correlation to the severity of your pancreatitis, it really just matters that it was elevated to slap a diagnosis on you. But Inflammation and agitation of the pancreas are common enough, the pancreas is an absolute bitch of an organ that get's inflammed for the most banal reasons, could've been a slight infection, could be gastrointestinal motility issues or a heightend tonus of the sphincter odi for a myriad of reasons. Slapping idiopathic on it really just means that no obvious cause was found and investigating it further is waste of time and money unless it becomes recurrent, which would lead to a reevaluation of your condition that might end up in another "idiopathic" diagnosis if no obvious underlying cause is found unless it becomes recurrent, and so on and so on. In all likelyhood it won't happen again, so don't worry about it too much

At most, it will decrease the number of jobs since it will improve productivity of doctors. It will never completely replace humans since:
1. machine learning is not sophisticated enough to have an adaptable interface for inputting patient information. I.e. the skill of taking a good history and examination is pretty much impossible to replicate by a computer.
2. Companies who run these types of software will not want to carry the risk of malpractice. They will always have a doctor "supervising" the program so that they are less liable.

Decreasing the number of jobs is equivalent to replacing humans. This is something most people going into Radiology are blissfully ignorant about.

now us modern out of Africa nigger humans dont have such an adaptation, and no one is going to sit around for 400000 years naked to get it, but my question is,
would it be possible to use gene editing to modify human veins to become countercurrent rather then what we are now, which is con current in our vasculature?
is this within the limits of our technological capabilities?

1st year student here reading a book on fractures and fracture care
It suggests that in cases of suspicion of axial skeletal fracture that I should avoid the head-tilt-chin-lift maneuver. What in the fuck am I supposed to do if someone needs resuscitation and I suspect a spinal cord injury? Attempt CPR without tilting their head back?
Obviously I don't want medical advice here but if someone could weigh in it would clarify this passage a bit thanks.

And it shows. You're a fucking retard, you think medicine is theoretical shit? You never think on the field "uhhhh atlanto occipital fracture". You get a guy like the ones on the chinese rekt videos, You put a rigid collar on him (if stable enough), sedate, intubate, give him hypertonics, and send him to fuck off to the trauma center. If he's on cardiac arrest you do chest compressions without giving a shit about anything else because that's critical enough to have the guy come back as a vegetable in the best case scenario.

Besides, come on, they tell you on the BLS bullshit you stabilize the head. with the shoulder grabbing maneuver. You're way too young in this field and you still don't know what the fuck the job is even about. Stick to physiology books, literally skim through it because none of that "protein, molecule, signal" bullshit is useful.

Dunno if this is the place to ask about alt medicine.
But my mom recently got some miracle cure gizmo that, I think, is called a vitaphone or something. It's basically a device with two little speakers on wires. You're supposed to put the speakers on different parts of your body (chest for cough, neck for sore throat, etc) and then it buzzes on a whole bunch of frequencies and makes you healthy again.
I was curious if anyone knows what this kind of device is called and if there are any more proofs that it's bullshit beyond me suspecting so since it's supposed to be a one fits all solution for a bunch of unrelated problems.

I'm not doing any crazy gunner shit like working 100hrs a week but I am doing what is meant to be mostly cushy 40hr weeks (little bit of overtime and call so money is good), but the schedule I'm given (and everyone else) is fucking retarded.

Usually I start on call and then spend my week going from evenings back to early mornings so at best I have a 10hr break between shifts, then once you factor in 30min drive each way, eating food, and doing chores, you have about 6-7hrs to sleep provided you can fall asleep immediately despite your obliterated circadian rhythm.

I'm currently using benadryl to get myself to sleep which I can't keep doing unless I want dementia. I sleep like shit even with a normal schedule, what the fuck do I do bros I'm not in burgerland so I can't get any fucking sleeping pills except tricyclics.

I'm watching the Hbomberguy video on vaccines and autism. I didn't realize the whole situation went that far.

>Wakefield was hired to make a study suggesting that autism was caused by the MMR vaccine by a lawyer
>Lawyer was hired a few parents who thought that the MMR vaccine gave their kids autism
>The study was just "lmao these parents (the ones who hired the lawyer) think the vaccine gave their kids autism, therefore I diagnose these kids with a new neuropsychiatric enterocolitis"
>2 pathologists on the study were dismissed because they found no evidence of colitis
>Wakefield wasn't even against vaccines, just the combo MMR vaccine, because he had stake in a monovalent style MMR vaccine(s)
>News media hyped up Wakefields research because "if it bleeds, it leads"

Hey guys, have any of you got research experience? I've got a masters in clinical psych and was thinking of applying to medical school to pursue psychiatry, but the schools I'm looking at say that they look into research experience and beyond taking a few classes on research methods I've never really seen any opportunities around me to participate as a researcher.

Depends if I'm conscious or not (barely awake or asleep). If I'm conscious I usually go for something high volume (vegetables, lean meats, fat free diary, bland cereal, lean fish) or something I find okay that my family buys (plain bread, muesli, oranges, bananas). If I lose it tho I will eat anything that I can get ahold of especially if I'm asleep since I can't retaliate even If I start eating something I find gross or unpleasant normally (and that's saying something since I can go after frozen/old bread or literally spices itself). I was able to almost return to pre onset hunger weight, but I still get attacks where I feel like I'm gonna snap or do snap, but go a little less far since I partially know what do in such situations (lay in bed and don't move until shaking and urge desists - can take few hours, otherwise choke on opioids or dxm and hope they can numb the pain) or react as fast as I can

how does eating so much you throw up work? is it just that the stomach is overloaded? I've heard the stomach clears fully about two hours after eating, if that's true does that mean someone eating once every two hours wouldn't throw up from eating too much? once it clears the stomach would eating too much just present as big shits?

if this isn't the right thread tell me and I'll delete

sounds like you fell for the "high volume eating" and "fat is evil" meme, but that's a common thing nowadays desu
try adding more fatty meats and dairy into you diet and see how that makes you feel, try reading up on satiety hormones and what causes their release desu
and did you talk about it with some type of mental health provider?
by looking at your case you should rather be less hungry than more with these levels of thyroid hormones so it should be more on a mental and diet/GI issue, if you have to take opioids for that someone should take it more seriously
are you also a fat fuck or not really? you could try fasting as well to learn more about your own hunger and whether it's more physical or emotional, but be careful if you need meds so much
hope you get better anon, t. nurseoid who is into alt dietetics
