Alright let me know if im a pussy or just retarded. Any other med students try dating apps during school? I want to get into it not even for hookups but just to talk to some new people. Im just concerned about any potential "professionalism" issues i run into. How safe is it for us to be on these apps? I wont be posting my school name or things that may affiliate me with them, but i do want to mention i am a medical student for obvious reasons. Im also afraid of being recognized by fellow students and worse being reported (for whatever reason). Am i overthinking this or should i genuinely be concerned and avoid dating apps?

I think you're overthinking it a bit, but it is good to be vigilant in these hypersensitive times. Generally, if you're not /pol/ on dating apps, but sticking to your spinning plates manual you should be fine.

>girl gets upset you ghost her as part of pump and dump
Not much she can really do. She can't criticize you for hooking up since it is "intolerant". Ghosting is really prevalent anyway. Easy come easy go.

Why would fellow students report you? You're trying to find "love" etc. Just because you're on the path to being a doctor doesn't exclude that from you. You're doing it in the right place at the right time (as opposed to dating patients for example). No issues. Have fun, bro.

Because we have zero understanding of what we're doing. Drug development is not a science, it's a big dose of guesswork and eyeballing patterns that seem to have worked before, with a lottery at the end that fails 99.99% of the time.

In psychiatry, the only disease where the treatment doesn't have a sky-high NNT is making people with ADHD tweak on hard stimulants.
And that's because neuroscience is in the middle ages. The search for biomarkers is top tier comedy. Nobody has any goddamn idea, and 'plausible mechanisms' mean fuck all. Just try random shit and see if some of it happens to work for some people.

Maybe after AI starts doing something more interesting with proteins than structure prediction, it could actually help developing drugs that aren't large scale guesswork at industrial scale. But we sure aren't there yet.

Specialty training is pretty bad in Germany, especially in surgical specialties. You don't get to operate a lot and are used for a lot of scut work. I doubt you would be proficient enough to do private practice ophtho straight out of residency.

So two different drugs, both metabolized by the liver, but the therapeutic dose of one is ten times higher than the other? Depends on the medication and their metabolites. On the one hand an impaired drug clerance or frist-pass-effect would pose the risk of reaching toxic levels when administering a normally therapeutic dosage, but the severity of that still depends on the medication. On the other hand if you're administering a pro-drug that needs to be metabolized by the liver first, you'd have a problem with decreased efficacy and getting into the therapeutic range in the first place. The direct hepatotoxcitiy of drug metabolites also varies, so you'd really need to know more about the medications in question.

10 mg of escitalopram vs. 100 mg of sertraline. That's more or less in the middle of the therapeutic range for both drugs (the max for each is 20 and 200 respectively). Yet 100 mg of sertraline causes much greater adverse side effects than 10 mg of escitalopram. And this is consistent with my experience on other drugs and even vitamin supplements. The higher the dosage, the greater the side effects (tics, irritability, agitation).

If you have a C1 level language skills certificate to get your medical licence here and actually speak the language well enough that's all that really matters. There's no national selection process for residency spots. Clinics or private practices just post job offers or you send out applications on your own initiative. The way new applicants compete for positions is usually through grades, "internships", research or having connections and "personal recommendations". Except for research, non of that is really an option for you, but in general your best bet as a foreign doctor is looking for spots in smaller towns or rural areas where the personnel shortag is generally higher, they tend take whatever halfway suitable candidates they get. Even if you don't find a spot immediatly, just keep looking, new positions open up all the time

I'm already planning on doing research and my master's thesis on the specialty I go for, besides that I guess my best shot would be to learn German until my 6th year and do a PJ/Erasmus+ there.
I also read that sometimes people just do 1-2 years in another specialty like IM but is that actually a plus or more for foreigners with busted German to get more time to learn the language and the system?
Also on another note, matching into your desired specialty seems kinda chill over there as long as you are willing to be flexible geographically, are you guys usually happy in the specialty you land in or is it a cuck fest like over here?

Good way to establish connections and show employers that you're aquainted with the system.

Haven't heard anything about that, technically you need good german skills (the whole C1 certifcation ordeal) to get your medical licence to begin with, but I've heard some pretty rough german from foreign doctors so it wouldn't surprise me. In general language is important here, nobody cares too much for accents, but Boomers (like the one's who'll decide to hire you or not) absolutely LOVE it when a foreigner speaks decent german in terms of grammar, so if you land an interview and nail that, it's worth a lot.
>Also on another note, matching into your desired specialty seems kinda chill over there as long as you are willing to be flexible geographically, are you guys usually happy in the specialty you land in or is it a cuck fest like over here?
It's a buyers market right now in terms of matching, but conditions can vary from place to place, some work you to the bone with little instruction and expect tons of overtime regardless of regulations, others are more laid back and supportive, but in general you're supposed to put in your work and at least a little extra as a resident, especially if you're at a bigger clinic and your attending is the typical choleric and workaholic Boomer type.

Inpatient Psych is hell. Delirious patients going off about random shit, suicidal patients, schizophrenics that think that god is talking to them. Just how casually psychiatrists tell their patients to behave or else they will have them restrained them shows you what kind of job it is.

Literally all that matters is if you speak German or not. Nobody gives a fuck if you have published or some other random shit.
Obviously the competitiveness is much less now, there are a shitload of Derm clinics. The Derm clinic part was always easy to get into, the hard part was the Hospital part because of how few spots there were available.
If you don't give a fuck where to work (even bumfuck nowhere) you will get a job in a month.

Medanons, what do you think will be advances in AI in the next 20 years and how will it shape specific specialties?
I always read random fearmongering that Radiology, Dermatology and Pathology could be replaced, are they actually threatned by current advances or future ones or is it just a bunch of IT fags and premeds that don't know shit about it?
And not necessarily being fully replaced but if AI happens to decrease their demands or cut their work by 20-30% wouldn't it be a game changer in those specialties particularly in terms of income?

[Anonymous No.15202309]

Radiologists won't be replaced but they will become so optimized that a team of 5 radiologists will now only need 2. Imagine how many mammographys a radiologist could get through if AI is good enough to simply filter out the normal ones.
People like to cope about it, but specialties can and will get replaced if it's cheaper. Look at what is happening to ER docs in the U.S., it turned from a hot field to shit real fast.

one of my friends just told me he uses a colostomy bag (i never knew)

liek 10 years ago he had bad gastroenteritis during his junior year at college. it became worse and the physicians thought it might be mrobus cron. When it became really bad they did an exploratory laparoscopy to see whats up.

my man ended up waking up with a stoma and a shit bag on his belly. They saw that his intestine was swollen and inflamed and they just removed like half of it and most of his colon.

this happened in germany.

My friend is the naive kind of person. He thinks they had good reason for this surgery but even he is having the horrible thought that they might have taken his colon away for no good reason (the rest of hos life he will be shitting into a bag strapped to his torso)

there can be "social" reason to go on with a procedure that might overweigh clinical reasons.

- like the condition of my friend could have been relatively critical. And an immediate aid to him would ahve been cutting out the inflamted tissue. Keeping the tissue inside would have been a risk for the surgeon. If my friend dies, everyone would point to the surgeon and would ask why he didnt excise the organ. The worsened life quality of my friend will not have influence on the career of the surgeon

- at least in germany, surgery positions are heavily gate kept. You need to put in a grueling amount of theater time to get licensed as a surgeon. It is well know in Germany, that resident surgeons will prefer doing the surgery so they can document it for their certification.
- then there might be many more economic reasons for the hospital etc. In Germany they get payed on a per procedure basis and the more invasive, the more money they get from the public health insurance

Woke up today at 4 am with terrible pain in my chest, lasted for about 10 mins. RHR was very low, probably 40 bpm with irregular beats and palpitations in the back of my neck, heart felt wonky as shit. Scary, tho' expected considering the amount of bike cycling I've done since New Year's Eve. Physically I'm a trainwreck. I have frost bite damage on each of my fingers on hands and toes, my lips are almost bloody (looks like I might even be developing H. simplex infection, we'll see), I have tendonitis of my heel tendon, I'm limping... None of this is stopping me tho'. I'll give my best to biohack my way out of this damage before I stop to heal. Decided to further reduce the Memantine dose to 10 mg since the function isn't decreasing anyways. The goal is to reduce it to 1 mg without noticing a reduction in function then continue this dose for the rest of my life. Omitted Nicotine and CDP choline from the stack to limit the cardiac risk. The effects of the stack appear to be permanent, I'm a new man, or the man I should have become if I was never depressed and autistic. I have supreme confidence. I maintain eye contact when talking to people no matter how important or pretty. I have lost shame completely, I could talk to Donald Trump like he's my friend. Since I started this experiment not one person has denied any of the favors I ask them (which is highly unusual for me). My levels of motivation, optimism and resilience are 10x stronger than ever. I feel like I'll achieve everything I want if this mental state continues. Working memory has improved since the beginning of the experiment, tho' it's not perfectly sticky. I've begun making to do lists and executing them. I feel like a supersoldier on a mission. I am no longer a slave or reality, I'm taming reality until it becomes my bitch and does what I tell her.

I wonder at what point a the healthcare system of a country is saturated.
Here in Germany around 1 in 195 people is a doctor and there is still always a talk about a Doctor shortage. Supposedly it's because there are a lot of women studying medicine nowadays and then just working part time or not even working as doctors.

[Anonymous No.15207591]

>>15207455
I'd say healthcare saturation depends on who you ask, if you ask a doctor, the healthcare system of a country gets saturated when the pay becomes shit because admin can afford to pay less since someone else will gladly do your job if you do not want to or when the system itself didn't plan out ahead the number of spots it would have and then it's everyone for themselves in a rat race for the few spots there are.
In Portugal for example the doctors have been complaing of saturation for a while now, since the number of doctors increased by around 74% in the last 20 years but they still blast the news with a lack of doctors, which we clearly do not have since we have a fuckload more than before and it's not because of women doing part time or not working. The reason is because the public system pays so little that anyone that can jump the boat and go do private practice goes do it, while the rest of the specialists get fucked over by the admins and politicians that do the shittiest job you could imagine, leading to a lack of doctors in the public system and since everyone feels entitled to get a specialist consult but no one wants to pay for a specialist they screech everywhere when they have to wait 8-12 months for one. So social media will always rant of a doctor shortage because they want you to work for dirt cheap and in the worst possible environment you can tolerate.
The so called "doctor shortage" here has only achieved one thing, massively cucking salaries, both in private and public practice, in the last decade since even private practice has a limit on how many people it can bill and with more specialists, they just offer a worse cut on consults and procedures. That and the lack of residency spots for fresh graduates to pick, no one wants to go work for 5-6 years in fucking nowhere or even in the big cities since they can barely survive with their residency salary.
Now if you ask a politician or hospital admin there will NEVER be a saturation.

In Germany from 2000 the amount of working Doctors increased from 294676 to 416120, meanwhile the population stayed the same. Even with this high number of Doctors there is constantly talk that hospitals will pretty much take anyone that breathes for internal medicine (and the subspecialties).
I read a statistic about Germany that you need something like 1.6 "modern" doctors to get the same workhours you would get from a single doctor 20-30 years ago. Because back then Doctors would mostly be men that ended up working 60 hour/weeks, meanwhile nowadays it is increasingly popular to just take a chill 20-30h/week job because you get cucked by the taxes anyways.
Salaries here haven't been cucked, but they never have been high in comparison to other countries. Worst thing is that the ""union"" never does anything for a higher salary except try and get a inflation adjustment (which often don't happen anyways lmao). Best thing they can do is "negotiate" better working conditions that oftentimes aren't met anyways.
Only way to make it is in private practice, but nowadays many specialists cant go into private practice anymore because you need a license from the national insurance, but they only give out a limited number (which all have been taken by boomers).

GP practice owner is good once you get the systems up, but is still a pain and most of the good spots are gone by now. I knew a pretty wealthy Jewish GP who ran a chain of clinics in Melbourne (thank God I left that shithole), but he was a shit GP. If you run an efficient clinic, you'll get GPs to earn money for you, I guess. Every niche will have its pros and cons. You've just got to research which suits you best. I'm interested in anaesthetics personally, but that also has its problems with surgeons trying to rip you off and a current "boom" in anaesthetists. Every specialty has a boom and bust cycle. Hopefully, you find that the areas that interest you also have a bust of specialists when you start applying so you're in the right place when you're a consultant.

This is the most retarded aspect, civil servants get a nice amount of tax cuts, but doctors get nothing, and then they wonder why boomers in private practice cut their hours because they don't think doing the extra work for a third of the money is worth it.
>Worst thing is that the ""union"" never does anything for a higher salary except try and get a inflation adjustment
Once the union representative thing became a paid gig it was all downhill anyways. Not that doctors here aren't kind of cucked in general and would ever go anywhere near shit like striking, but the union has become genuinely parasitic
>they only give out a limited number (which all have been taken by boomers)
It's not that bad, lot's of boomers want to retire but meeting the kind of capital required to take over a practice at their current valuations is pretty insane, but it will probably get easier as time progresses and they get desperate enough to sell at lower prices. These private practices are assets after all, nobody just wants to close shop outright and lose out unless they absolutely have no other way of retiring

It is legit imposible to do your own practice in many specialties. Urology for example, people want over 350k for their practice in some rural shithole (which doesn't include the real estate LMAO), the ones in big cities can go for more than 500k. How the hell are you supposed to have that kind of capital when you make 100k/year, which ends up being 60k/year after tax. Sure loans, but even that front is drying up.
The reality is that most doctors in Germany are actually very content with the state of their job and most don't want to own their practice. Most don't want to be their own boss and really just put everything into the "work-life balance" meme. This has a lot to do with more women studying medicine than men, also even the men that study medicine nowadays are majority metrosexual at best or straight up homofags at worst. I would say a good 25% of men are gay buttsex enjoyers.

Yeah it's retarded and unrealistic, but the same asset inflation that fucks with everything is fucking with private practice prices, though they rarely own the real estate outright. Eventually the Boomer generation will have to retire and start grasping for straws to find someone to take over their practice, there's a host of shit they'll have to deal with if they don't get someone to do it, the least of which is losing all the money and effort they invested into the practice in the first place. It'll become a buyers market eventually (in part due to doctors opting for work-life-balance), just as the spec admissions did when they really started feeling the shortages. I think those that want to start their own practice will eventually be able to do so under less ridiculous circumstances (or at least they'll be ridiculous in a different way).

>Most don't want to be their own boss and really just put everything into the "work-life balance" meme.

Depending on the spec anywhere from 150-300k before taxes, they're profitable buisness and if you get some additional qualifications to do shit the national insurance pays for (like FMs also doing Diabetes counseing) or get boomers to pay for vitamin shots you can cobble together a pretty good income. I know some doctors that run their private practices like conveyor belts and do whatever they're legally allowed to, which I always considered pretty dubious ethics wise. It's not serious rich people money, but compared to what doctors with similiar experience make in hospitals it's very solid income. But keep in mind that these practices are sold like assets, you'll buy them with the expectation of eventually selling it on retirement to recuperate your initial investment

Acupuncture is a big one and in demand, the other TCM vegetable soup shit is less so, but acupuncture is part of the insurance catalog (though FMs usually can't bill it, so it's on self-payer basis) and a lot of private insurances offer it in an even bigger capacity. But it can be lots of stuff, diabetes counseling is a big one, skincancer check ups can be done by FMs, mole removals, pain counseling, all kinds of preventive medicine, I've seen FMs that offer intrarticular injections, it's just a matter of qualifications and having the equipment.

>Never have I seen someone practice "Traditional Chinese Medicine" lmao, you would probably lose your license if you used it for anything but psychosomatic shit
They can do whatever is legal, they just can't bill all of it to the insurance, some FM is not going to lose his licence (which is basically impossible anyways unless you're extremly neglectful or fradulent) for sticking acupuncture needles into a patient or telling him to drink chicken soup.

So you have your Specs and Subspecs and at the bottom are the additional qualifications, a lot of which you can also get as an FM. For instance diabetology is available to FMs, IM and pediatrics, but there's all sorts of shit (including stuff like Homoepathic and Naturopathic medicine) that's pretty much open to every spec that actually treats patients.

If you are from a third world country it's probably an upgrade.
>am in my last med school year and genuinely have no idea what the fuck to do after i finish.
Should've planned that since you're in first year you retard.

Medanons how fucked is a 508 MCAT - I got 129 on psych, 128 CARS, 126 biology, 125 chem/physics

Only took entry sciences because I was in a clinically focused program and thought being a medfag could be okay, so literally no idea what's going on with physics or organic chemistry but I wrote anyway

The Patientoids are the ones suffering, don't go all "woe is me, among the sick and dying!" when you are already doing what you can to improve the situation. Patientoids suffer, and they die, and sometimes there's not much you or anyone can do about it, it's just a part of life and will eventually happen to you too. Have a good cry about it if you need to, but there's no use becoming all morbid about the whole afair.

stop being pathetic, it's just death. I could understand it if you were some pediatric oncologist, but most people that bite the dust are 70+ years and have a bunch of comorbidities.

Are you a nigger? If yes, then MD is fine. If not, go DO.
Why the fuck are there so many DO people here? You guys need to study more.

because DO schools are the largest med schools, and they are opening a ton of them

i get this thing where my fingers kind of lock up, or it takes a lot of resistance to open them. kind of like i'm fighting the tendons in my arm or something.
for example i just caught a flying insect and when i tried to open my hand up it took a lot of effort to fully extend my fingers. what the fuck is this? i don't even know how to look it up because shit i search for is related to like, hand cramps and shit, and that's not really what it is i don't think. i'm in my 20s so i don't think i'm arthritic or whatever.

>we can have selective dopamine/serotonin/nonephinephrine receptor agonists/antagonists
>we can have selective SERT or NET inhibitors
>we can have serotonin or nonephinerine releasing agents
>we can have zillion NRI/SNRI phenethylamines, cathinones and alike substances (ofc, pretty much all controlled, but hey you still can get rx with "right" doc ;^) )
>but we can't have turbo potent purely selective for DAT inhibitor or/and dopamine releasing agent that isn't controlled so docs can actually rx it without pain in the ass if something goes amiss
I wish it wasn't all for pharma money.... I hope that at least that new TAAR1 agonist and glycine modulator for schizos will be more interesting and actually helpful so they can be a little more calm if they can't be lucid... but that's prolly wishful thinking since drug development for glutamate based drugs for my own condition (ADHD) is in deep ass and professional help for it in the world ranges from pill mills (pretty much only US) to pain in the ass to even get Ritalin prescribed (assuming it's even legal in some countries) despite having stack of papers since 2006 of how much of lilttle insufferable shit I was (and still very much am) and doing it purely private

tl;dr Yes, I made a big blob of text. No, I will not make my own thread, /med/ deserves bump more so than killing some rando dumb thread

Then just feel bad for them, but don't overindulge like it's some virtuous feeling, it's fine to feel sad if your patients are doing bad, it's not fair, but it really has nothing to do with you beyond the care you provide them. Either get used to feeling sad sometimes and learn to cope or become cynical. It's just reality, people are doing bad everywhere, in the end you're the one to choose what you obsess over and what you fade out, compassion doesn't have to be a millstone around your neck unless you turn it into one.
