>>12003781
Skin hyperpigmentation and the orthostatic hypotension can be jointly explained with adrenal failure. Although (D) is a cause of adrenal failure, it is an acute adrenal crisis which does not fit the nature of the presentation and would not allow for hyperpigmentation to develop. I guess (A) can theoretically cause adrenal failure, however it is less likely without any other sign of systemic symptoms. (C) would present much earlier (if such a syndrome actually exists) and not in a 45 year old male who was previously well. Therefore the best answer is (B).

A 50 year old male presents to emergency complaining of frequent urination, excessive thrist and pain in his legs and knees. He has a 25 pack-year history of smoking and a 40 computer-year history of scroolling. His father died fighting communists at 25 and his mother died of neurosyphillis at 50. Physical examination reveals whaleoid body habitus, BMI 40 and dark skin around his neck, and decreased peripheral sensation in both of his legs up to the knee. Urinalysis reveals (++++) glucose and (++++) protein with blood glucose at 320 mg/dL. The jewish internist ordered more labs and found normocytic anemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperlglycemia, hyperuricemia, hypercalcemia and elevated BUN/creatinine with eGFR of 35 ml/min. Which of the following is the next best step in management?

A. Bone marrow biopsy

redpill me on what is the best specialty and why is it psychiatry ?euroanons especially

>>12004788
Why would you do that to yourself? It may be my warped 3rd world vision but psychiatry is either listening with fake interest the nagging of reddit users or numbing the fuck out of feral nutcases while quietly hoping they die of old age/sudoku.
It's the 3rd most hopeless spec, behind IM and geriatrics.

to live the /lit/erary lifestyle, and also learning about the brain and human mind is the most fascinating part of medicine for me; dunno man seems psychoterapy seems comfy . farmacopsychiatry I despise, giving mind altering drugs especialy to kids sickens me, that's why I'm asking for euro perspectives from what I understand in the US the shrink is the BigFarmas bitch

>>12004847
also psychiatry is one of the most hunted specialities in my country and in state hospitals is top pay , like 30% more than cardiology for exemple

any research on folk/traditional medicine specifically herbs and plants that are consumed that could have some active ingredient? from what i have read so far it seems that it's better than prayer but also worse. some stuff actually have active ingredients that help but some also have serious interactions or are just outright bad. there is also a fuck ton of stuff that hasn't been researched yet.

>>12004866

>>12005061
>thread for research discussion
>no discussion of medically relevant topics
this is a very relevant topic to medicine in non western countries (and for western hippies) because it's very widespread and even non retarded modern people assume that these herbs/plants are hidden medicine that hasn't been discovered by science yet

>>12005277
>that these herbs/plants are hidden medicine that hasn't been discovered by science yet
wow maybe you should do your groundbreaking research and discover these plants that silly scientists don't know about

>>12005280
nigger i didn't say i believe in it, i said that a lot of people (even in the western world) justify using these herbs since there isn't any research on them. this is bad because some herbs are just straight up bad for you and some have serious interactions.

autopsy reveals multiple myeloma, the pathologist berates you, saying that there is no way a diabetic kidney disease patient has hypercalcemia without a second underlying issue, an important cause of hypercalcemia not due to PTH dysfunction that fits with the "leg pain" (maybe bone pain + osteoarthritis) is multiple myeloma, the patient then has the full CRAB symptoms for multiple myeloma, obtaining this diagnosis for the patient may have saved him an extra year of a fulfilling and quality life

95% chill, 5% chaotic emergency stuff, all your interventions are immediate, get to see a range of specialities, no patients are under your name so when your shift is done you leave, early starts and early finishes, can shift into ICU and pain medicine, not sure about elsewhere but in the UK the training is much better than other specialitites as its like a 1 on 1 apprenticeship.

>>12001559
>>12007380
What does the future look like for pathology in terms of AI? There was discussion about AI in the last thread and one anon made a good point that in his spec, diagnosis is about 10 percent of his job or so. With pathology being entirely diagnostic, will there be extreme pay cuts or outright replacement by mid-levels?

https://scitechdaily.com/artificial-intelligence-identifies-prostate-cancer-with-near-perfect-accuracy/

>>12004224
Psychocybernetics is considered by some to be like that but it's exclusively achievement oriented and life isn't just about that

>>12007411
>With pathology being entirely diagnostic
but it's not. A pathologist still needs to prepare samples.
But as always, a physician is necessary to confirm a diagnosis made by AI. There are legal issues about accountability if you rely solely on AI diagnosis. Who's responsible if something goes wrong? The guy who coded the AI? The consultant who worked on the AI? The hospital for using that AI?

>>12007440
The future is bright for all specialities related to old "people" and fucked up for obstetrics and pediatrics. This is a comment based on population pyramids.
Make with it whatever you want.

>>12007440
Does the pathologist actually prepare samples though? For context I'm a phlebotomist in the US and all the samples in our hospital are prepared by a pathologists assistant with a masters degree. They are then walked over to the pathologist's office right next to the Histology lab. Legally, the hospital could be held responsible and makes the most sense to me. I do understand wanting someone to look it over but since that job should be easier, will it fall to a less educated and lower paid worker?

That's too hard for non-psychiatrists - REFER!

>>12004873

THis is a damn lie, post country heretic

>>12006576

I have the opposite mindset but it's pretty great specialty if you like it.

1. Hardly any Patient contact
2. Deep knowledge of human physiology - Almost like IM except instead of external disease knowledge it's on basic human body engineering and what drugs affect what - what to use given a certain impending problem.
3. Amazing pay per hour, hardly any documenting, usually 7am-3pm type days.
4. Procedural (Intubations, Lines, Infusions) but not overly so - without many drawbacks of needing OR cases in certain surgeries to build up experience etc.
5. Options for fellowship like Pain, ICU (probably best route)
6. Best way to have a side-hustle (Stocks/trading during cases, writing, etc.) WHILE getting paid for that time

Cons
1. Surgeon's "bitch" - Overblown, but I can see why surg's don't backup with it cause of that.
2. Low patient interaction/relationship - usually not a concern for Anesfags.
3. No one knows about you from general public
4. Long residency, Possibly sporadic schedule due to call later on.

>>12004866
just so you're aware, psychotherapy is completely bullshit and actually harmful, except for really regimented and standardised CBT

Absolutely sure that 90% of surgeons would have a panic attack if they had to engage in real violence. I would bet my daughters virginity that you have never killed anyone and would not have the balls to kill someone if your asked to do so in a way you couldn't remove yourself from the messiness of the act.

going to become main surgeon just to be able to blast this and make everyone listen to it
https://youtu.be/AMndPTS0KLY

>>12010051
if you haven’t done something out of many different reasons does not mean that you are not capable of doing it. maybe you are just projecting because you grew up in safe hand held place of first world country but some people are used to violence because they have seen it from day one, but chose to go the other ways and turn aggression and rage into something good instead of succumbing to their swamp environment.

>>12005406
I admit I didn't think of MM. But would your first step in working up multiple myeloma really be a BM biopsy? I thought serum or urine protein electrophoresis came first and then biopsy to confirm disease

>>12010067
people self sort into environments that serve their evolutionary interests best. meek and docile individuals do everything they can to avoid having to come into conflict with aggressive and violent individuals. Doctors are some of the most restrained, emotionally balanced, and domesticated people you will ever meet. I cannot for the life of me imagine some well heeled ortho crushing the throat of a man outside of bar for insulting him. Having the power to take life from people who have given over their agency to you and under your care isn't a form of respectable mastery over violence. You are just a piece of larger high risk maintenance process, no different from a mason or auto mechanic with the power to endanger the lives over others from a distance.

>>12010096
you are generalizing and assuming from your life experience and environment and i’m telling you it isn’t like that. Not every doctor is a beta basedboy like the ones you come around with in your life. Because from where i come from and from surgeons i’ve seen at least 80% have been in two military conflicts few of them took part in civil war and i’m sure at least half if not more of those people have actually taken someone else’s life. On top of that after those shitty happenings life was fucked up here for 15+ years and i’ve known my fellow doctors who have been shot or stabbed for the most ridiculous, stupid and vain reasons you could imagine and they had to do similar to defend their life and loved ones. As i said you think like this because you grew up in first world safe bubble where there is occasional nigger crime and only come around to softened men, in a same manner i could have argued and generalized that all surgeons are tough motherfuckers but i didn’t because i realize different environments then mine exist.

Why is doctors' handwriting so shit? I've always put it down to writing a lot of things very quickly in med school and then having to jot down lots of prescriptions.

>>12001559
Those who would demand a God for a Godless world, and certainly those who would accept a God among men, will receive the punishment they desire and deserve. As though it is embedded in Man by the Creator itself, it is woven into the logic of the universe itself. It will come, and it must come.

What Man needs now is basically a modernized quasi-scientific Nature cult. Today, we have a world overflowing with false Gods, traumatized overgrown children imitating their notion of a God, and the worst of it, the rise of a new religious power structure built around so-called science. They are humbled by nothing. They neither see nor yield to any higher order, they will mindlessly charge forward desiring to dominate, trample, and subdue even Mother Nature herself, all things will conform to their script, all Truth is defined by their word, all things are malleable, all things mutable, all things under control. No. These people are delusional, shined up trash better suited for the gutter. These things must be destroyed. Their belief system must be destroyed. They are children kneeling before an idol to themselves.

No. Since they cannot live without that organizing principle, all will kneel only before Mother Nature and her great and self evident Truth. They have lost their way. It is time to return to reality. It is time to return to their roots. Look in the mirror. Look at yourself. When was the last time you made your heart beat? When was the last time you managed the motility of your gut? When was the last time you managed much of anything? Never. Who is your Creator? Is it your parents? Your God? Science? No. From two gametes combining your body quite literally assembled ITSELF from raw material, largely unassisted.

>>12011943
Your body has maintained you since that moment that the zygote was born in a flash of light, with near zero help, through a vast range of conditions... your entire life. And it will continue, until death. That is Truth. Yet you have these fool medical people purporting to know what the body needs, and to be able to "fix" people's "problems" with their barbaric low level chemical interventions and other assorted pseudoscientific New World quackery and nonsense. They actually think that the body NEEDS THEM to function. It's absurd, it's pathetic, it's irrational. It's delusional. I can't say I was not indoctrinated into it as well. And it shows, the statistics are there. As of 2011's data (via insurance records) 46% of children have at least 1 of 20 chronic illnesses, 56% when you include obesity. A 2017 Pentagon report stated 72% of people 17 - 24 are physically, psychologically, or cognitively unfit for military service. Our population is the sickest, most dissociative, delusional, ridiculous spectacle this planet has ever seen! The laughing stock of the animal kingdom, in that sense. Yet we believe ourselves to be great, we put faith in the collective, we believe that if we obey the system good things will surely come, despite our pitiful and still degenerating state. That is the core of narcissism. The medical system is narcissistic and psychopathic. The beast in sight. And the list only goes on. This can be applied to all areas. No, it must be torn down.

No exceptions to the rules. Either one among you modulates and punishes your excesses directly, or you get your natural punishment down the line. Man: The Dim Child. That thing which never quite grows up.

>>12011539
Narcissism. God doesn't need to explain himself. Mere mortal couldn't hope to understand the mind of the Creator.

Why does neuro have lowest physician happiness? Seems like one of the more interesting specs. Most of your patients don't improve I guess so that's probably a factor

how hard is it to become a medical researcher? are there any easier alternative paths? what about bio?

Is nursing based or a waste of time?

>>12011955
And research WHAT? Bullshit, that's what. Most medical research is useless bullshit and the rest is a front for a future eugenics program. Why do you think all these chronic diseases are being framed as genetic, and then funded as such? Eugenics. Modern man is a farm animal that is too stupid to see the fence, the ramp, or the Judas goat.

The Human Genome Project itself stemmed from Carnegie's Eugenics Records Office at Cold Spring Harbor. And believe me, you people? Yeah. You ain't makin' the cut.

Why do I feel terribly uncomfortable if I try to sleep on my back (i.e face-up)? I can't be still and feel a kind of pressure in my forehead. The longer I lie on my back the more agitated I become, and sometimes I start twitching. As soon as I turn on my side, the feeling subsides. What gives?

What do we need a colon for? Couldn't we just digest the food we eat with saliva in our mouths alone?

>>12019403
That's just the food rotting in your mouth. It's being digested by bacteria more than your saliva. The resort of the system is to absorb the nutrients out of the food. The shit is just leftover

>>12017296
Here is one article: https://theconversation.com/talking-therapies-can-harm-too-heres-what-to-look-out-for-27433
I don't know about academic studies though, I'm not a psychiatrist nor am I planning to become one, I just have a passing interest in the field and just repeated what some friends have told me.

>>12019403
Theoretically, your saliva contains amylase and lipases, which are enzymes that can help break down carbohydrates and lipids. However you can't actually absorb the contents of the broken down nutrients in your mouth, it needs to go to your small bowel to be absorbed (your colon doesn't actually absorb anything in terms of nutrients). In your small bowel the broken down carbohydrates and lipids can be absorbed. Moreover, your saliva has no way of breaking down proteins into small peptides and amino acids; this is a special role of your pancreas which releases an enzyme called trypsin to enable protein breakdown (your stomach incidentally also helps in protein breakdown via pepsin, but technically you can live without your stomach). The small bowel then absorbs these broken down proteins.

Your colon (large intestine) mostly functions as a storehouse for your shit and for altering the fluid content of your shit so that you aren't losing too many electrolytes when you go to the toilet.

>>12019667
I'm not the anon you responded to but interesting read. I'd say the title's a little clickbaity though - according to the article, talking therapies are only 'harmful' insofar as they delay medical treatment or a bad therapist can do no good or exploit their patient. Talking therapy does not in and of itself cause harm. At least, that's what I gathered reading this.

But yeah, psychotherapy is definitely shilled more than I think it should be

>>12012316
could be a diverticulum (outpouching of bowel) causing the pain, its likely benign but they can become much more painful in the future and can even develop fistulas with your skin or bladder so that you shit out of your penis or your skin, best advice is to see your physician, perhaps get an ultrasound of the lump

Thoughts? I feel like there is some sort of membrane or something damaged in there. It’s so shitty. My saliva is constantly really gooey and full of snot. Like, I can grab onto my saliva and stretch it out from my mouth, and twirl it around like a goddamned jump rope. It’s very slimy and sticky. Plus my sinuses are constantly producing mucus at an ungodly rate, often feel really dry and irritated, and they still occasionally just break down at random and spend a day draining into my throat, which is extremely unpleasant and disorienting. I’ve tried rinsing my sinuses with a netipot, It doesn’t solve it. The only thing that seems to kinda help is mucinex, but that only helps with the mucus, not the weird slimy saliva.

I have an MRI in two weeks. Should I hold off on starting my new medication until afterwards?

Medication is griseofulvin. A quick Google search doesn't indicate it should be a problem, but I have read that some people have a serious bad reaction to the contrast dye, and I'm wondering in how many of those people it might have been down to interactions with other drugs they were on, so I'm wondering whether to just keep it simple and wait until a few days after the MRI to start my antifungal course, stay on the safe side...

How does one get medical care of this caliber? Can I just walk into any hospital and get insurance for the nih .gov treatment?

Well /med/ I had a seizure today on the Neuro-ICU unit I work at. Ironic huh?

>>12004464
No, you'll understand once you see true posturing

My symptoms are marked ataxic gait, dysarthria, tingling in forearms, trouble swallowing, areflexia
Clean MRI of brain
What is a list of medications I can try, one after the other. I won't be taking them at the same time, obviously, optimally a week each until maybe I see results. Preferably, I'd take a whole battery of blood tests, but alas I don't have insurance. I also live in the middle of nowhere and don't have a means of transportation. So please, a list of medications I can try. Per my last post here, already tried thiamine, b12, and about to increase levothyroxine from 50 to 100 mcg on day 4. Assume I have some semblance of sense.
These symptoms all started whilst drinking 1/2 liter of vodka per day. I quit drinking 10 months ago.

>>12004847
Can't IM move to critical care or private practice? I always assumed you can because one of our new PA's to critical care was from IM. Im just a nurse tho

>>12023593
I'll mention that there is a 50% chance I have a genetic spongiform encephalopathy called GSS. The disease would present all these symptoms. Three issues with that: -I'd be the first in the history of my family not to get the symptoms in my mid-50s.
-Once the disease presents, it kills you within a few months. I'm still here. I'd say that if my symptoms are even progressing, it is at an unnoticeable rate. I was able to walk with a cane when I quit drinking (only short distances now) but the graph has largely bottomed out since.
-3) most importantly, who gives a fuck. Whether I did inherit the disease is irrelevant; if it is the disease, there's not much to do. If it isn't, then one of these things I'm going to try will work.
Last time I mentioned that after 3 doctors, it is very apparent that any idiot can be a doctor. I had made the mistake of even mentioning the possibility that I have GSS. You could see the inference forming in their stupid head: "oh, it must that thing then." The proper reaction would have been "that's nice sweetie," not to listen to what the fucking patient thinks it is. "I'll keep that in mind for when I run out of doctor ideas." If that is good doctor, it shouldn't be. Also, if you thought I meant "and therefore you're dumb," then you're dumb. So ya, just a list of medications, say, designed to raise blood levels of something the lack of which could cause me not to be able to fucking walk or talk. I'm 31 btw

>>12005740
Sounds like you just work on a dump unit. Dump units are always shitty as your patient ratios are shit and you'll get ICU workload patients w/o the instability and PCU patients unlike regular floors that actually get floor patients

>>12006576
Most of the time it's just supervise and prescribe to your CRNA's who are perfectly capable and just cover more critical cases that require a doctors eye. The other 10% of the time you are handling stat intubations and the rare case where the surgery starts to go bad quick and you need an anesthesiologist to relieve a crna since they are simply higher trained

>>12011969
Both

The good parts
>Wide range of specialties, you can chill in an office, you can get involved in intense ICU care, you can chill in surgery, become a case manager, a trauma registrar etc. etc.
>The actual amount of work and impact you have on your patient is massive. Often you'll see docs put in their notes exactly what you told them in report.
>In the ICU sometimes it's just you and another good nurse saving a life either based on the doctors orders or because the doctor hasn't arrived yet, or multiple patients are crashing etc.
>You get to interact with all specialties in the hospital, from janitors, nutritionist, RTs, PT/OT, Docs, case managers etc.
>You are often the link between family and them understanding what's going on, which is fulfilling

The Cons
>You are responsible for everything because as mentioned you interact with all specialties and are expected to perform their role when they are unavailable.
>Forced to perform outside of the scope of your practice in life saving situations because the doctors or NP's are unavailable. Leading to some very dubious legal drug pushes that you simply don't chart
>You can be everybodies bitch and if you work med-surge you will get little respect and spend all day working with poor staffing ratios and fairly high acuity patients because a fair amount of PCU's don't train strong nurses because they have it easy so ICU docs just dump patients on you because they know you can handle shitstorms.
>Long hours of physically demanding work that just really puts a toll on your body.

And last but not least,
>Code browns where a lactulose patient is shitting themselves silly because the doc prescribed it multiple times a day at high doses, doesn't want you to titrate per poop because of extraneous medical reasons and then they don't give you a rectal tube because "well evidence shows blah blah blah, so you need to clean your patient covered in shit every hour"

>>12011969
What guy nurses are so sought after, I get hired easily because of it. I can handle the crazies that need a little physicality, the dudes that disrespect women but wouldn't dare disrespect a guy, aggressive patients, etc.

>>12013063
What you resent are nurses who get a big head and think they know better than you. But when my patient goes into a fib w/ RVR and you immediately tell me to give amiodarone on a patient who has a high likelihood of the cardiac pause amio causes leading to defibrillation, you bet your ass I'm not going to slam it unless the patient is ridiculously unstable. You should thank me instead for making that amio worthless and just using the other drugs to gently bring them out of RVR
