fuck everyone

what's the best way to shit out papers? Is it by doing systematic reviews or trying to get a hold of retrospective data (which is itself a pain in the ass)?

i'm considering an icu career, tell me about it.

>>12641236
it was more than 340 posts, thats like seeing last stages of terminally ill and saying "you might die"

>>12641245
Why? It's shit, literally any spec is comfier than that; the only reason I'm in it is because in my country it's coupled to anaesthesiology, so I get like 60% anaesthesia work, 40% ICU work per month
It's a lot of work, a significant portion of which is pointless, because the majority of your patients are either
a)so fucked that they'll die anyway, and all you're doing is changing that from today to weeks or a month later
b)in decent enough condition that they'll recover with just basic care and support
and only a thin sliver of
c)those patients inbetween, where your work actually matters and you know that what you've done decided the outcome
You(and your nurses) also gonna be the 4chan jannie of your hospital, cleaning shit up when other departments fuck up at any time of day, because you're the only ones who can get shit done

If specs were a genre of music, what genre is yours (or the one you're trying to get into)

I'll start with the obvious
>Peds
>Children's music, anime soundtracks

>FM
>Jazz

>>12641326
>Peds
>anime soundtracks
okay pedo
also link the relevant genre tracks at least

Any good guide to the different specs? Looking for something comfy.

20 days ago: my occasional left-sided unilateral tinnitus became near constant from the moment I wake up till I sleep

16 days ago: went to an ENT doctor; diagnosed it as labyrinthitis, prescribed me prednisolone, tinnitus medication, and thioctic acid supplements

9 days ago: visit to the same doctor; told me to drop my prednisolone and keep on taking the other meds and come back in 2 months; also said it probably isnt labyrinthitis and we will just have to wait and see if anything new happens

2 days ago: left-sided dull headache everynow and then + dull aching pain in my left eye
Should I go to a different doctor? What could this be? And no. It isn't wax. It isn't labyrinthitis.

Will Crispr cure my wife who suffer from Ehlers Danlos Syndrome?

I'll probably get popular in the future so I don't want to risk being tied to this website, but basically you know those two dimple thingies at the spearhead of the nose?
After the hit one became slightly larger than the other and my nose is a bit tilted about the vertical axis
It wasn't a very strong hit
Also thanks in advance if you want to help

>>12641650
Which type? But most likely yes. It has a simple target and the research of it's use in SCD and TDT is promising.
>>12641651
If you want it to be straight you should see a doctor

It was a long time ago. Damn it
Then it probably heald already
What would the doctor have done anyway? Natural or surgical solution?
Also is it too late for me, doc?
Or can it be bent back Naturally since it got ruined Naturally too?
How bad did I fuck up by not seeing the doctor? Did my nose grew in a bad manner or did I get any possible complications?

>>12641668
Oh that one doesn't have a known particular genetic cause yet. So once that's identified then CRISPR-Cas9 can be utilized.
>>12641677
It's not too late. Just see an ENT or plastics and they can figure out what to do.

>>12641683
Thank you, doctor.

Will CRISPR cure my small penis syndrome?

>>12641707
no the SP in CRISPR stands for small penis

Thanks, I hope it won't be too long even if I understand the complexity

why the FUCK do I have to memorize the crabs cycle

does graduating from a prestigious school matter career wise? i have two options and i don't know which one to choose
option 1: local no name med school, absolutely free and can even get grants
option 2: private med school, top 20 in OECD countries, 120 000 euros aside from living costs

>>12641731
Its low yield to memorize every single step in a cycle when it comes to biochemistry. You just memorize the important ones(i.e. ones that involve diseases, drug mechanisms, etc).

>>12641805
he's probably a pre-med who actually needs to memorise most of it for a biochem paper.

>>12641781
no
>>12641731
you're probably in some retarded anglo-sphere school.

>>12641781
i don't even have 120k euros
i will choose the first one

I sneezed yesterday and it really hurted. since then i have a weird feeling in my nasal cavity like something is broken inside. Doc, what to do?

>>12641818
insert a finger up your anus

>>12641818
I'm an ENT surgeon specialising in nasal cavity and I had a patient who had this yesterday. What you need to do is insert a finger up your anus.

You will never be a real science. You're just a small step above shamans.

Sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you over smoking cigars and drinking champagne. I'm just about to get into my BMW to go and save lives again today, but when I get back you can tell me about the relevance of your field of study, where you hyper focus on this or that molecule or whatever it is you labcoats do.

>>12641628
this thread is not for advice it is for doctors to shitpost with each other. the advice given here might even be detrimental since we don't have specifics you get when you have physical contact with your doctor. seeing your doctor is best course of action.

>>12642008
>worst condition
>have that doesn't kill or shorten the miserable life one has with it?
Is an oxymoron. Any condition that can be the 'worst' will shorten life years due to being miserable.

Most medical conditions require a physical exam and a scan to properly diagnose. Go to your fucking doctor you cheap cunt.

>>12642022
might i also add most people aren't even doctors here.

Because that's the best course of action when you're responsible for +10 acute patients from all walks of life. If you happen to have an organized type A personality EM is hell because you always feel like never finishing anything.

just saw a 24 yo in the icu with covid. his ef is 20%, on bipap with 90% sat

>>12642243
>he's still in school
And it's Bankfurt.

>>12642178
This is how metalfags still present. People like this don't do ortho. They end up doing faggy shit like computer sciences because they got filtered from traditional subjects at school due to not fitting in and have to pretend they have intellectual superiority by having music be their identity.

You may be an exception, but 99.9% of your ilk are faggots like this that still wear band t-shirts and only listen to one genre of music. Maybe two.

>>12642178
>muh metal

>>12642005
the private school is in an entire other region of europe. the reason i am considering a private school is that i read that the private sector of medicine here pays more and is generally better and less stressful but it's more "competitive" and "hard to get into" so i thought maybe being a graduate of a prestigious school will increase my chances.

>>12642029

any sort of genre fucked retards or people engaging in sub-cultures in general after their teens don’t make it into med school so i’m not sure why do you keep bringing them up.

>become medical doctor after 6 years of study
>get sent some bullshit online form to sign the oath, no ceremony just some shit over zoom where people i've never met or know the names of give speeches
FUCK OFF
this is like
>do you accept the terms and conditions. click here if you agree to become a doctor and promise to be a good boy
>allow cookies and tracking to our website, allow oath
>to enable oath, click here
>to install oath app on your phone click here
what? aint signing that shit, isn't even the real oath some neutered shit
i'll still do my best obviously, but this is pathetic
i wanted this one thing amid this pandemic, a proper spiritual experience and acceptance
not some soulless online form to sign
i want to do this and will take care of it myself at some point

did you guys swear an oath? do you care about it all?

>>12642993
We do but it’s the gay modern one, so really doesn’t make a lick of difference. The whole concept of taking oaths is far too advanced for the ethical capabilities of the sort of trash that populates med schools and the society at large anyways.

>>12641640
Looks like you should have replied to the last person who posted that then.

>>12641805
>Can I Keep Selling Sex For Money, Officer?

Or something of that nature is as in depth as any medfag needs to go with that shit.

>>12642208
EM doctors work 15 or less days a month in the US bro. Unless they want to make more money of course.

Bros, I don’t know if I’m going to enjoy Medicine. Should I deliberately fail my interviews?

>>12643530
do you really think anyone here enjoyed studying that garbage

>>12643530
It's a life of pain. But you're going to bitch out of it do it properly and don't waste the interviewer's of your relative's time.

>>12643530
If you intentionally fail, you'll spend the rest of your life wondering what if.
Best to just give it your best shot and realise things will work out in the end.

desu i'm not the smartest guy in the world, I'm like 110 IQ at absolute best, and I find med school to be pretty decent. Sure I put in a decent amount of work but not an ungodly amount, and I still manage to be a B+/A- student.

Enjoyment does not come prior to entering a discipline, if you constantly seek for what kind of career you "enjoy" you'll end up picking something subpar. Enjoyment and career satisfaction come at mastering your discipline. Read https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2020/04/05/work-and-the-deep-life/ for more information.

Just think about it, ecelebs and esport "athletes" waste their time doing dumb shit on the internet and earn money doing it. If you ask them why they picked that """""career""""" they will say they enjoy doing it. Yeah I enjoy jacking off and playing vidya all day too but I think that is a retarded way to live.

Resident teams are economically more efficient than MLP teams and have higher patient satisfaction. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26217425/

Compared with dermatologists, PAs performed more skin biopsies per case of skin cancer diagnosed and diagnosed fewer melanomas in situ, suggesting that the diagnostic accuracy of PAs may be lower than that of dermatologists. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29710082

Advanced practice clinicians are associated with more imaging services than PCPs for similar patients during E&M office visits. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/1939374

Nonphysician clinicians were more likely to prescribe antibiotics than practicing physicians in outpatient settings, and resident physicians were less likely to prescribe antibiotics. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15922696

The quality of referrals to an academic medical center was higher for physicians than for NPs and PAs regarding the clarity of the referral question, understanding of pathophysiology, and adequate prereferral evaluation and documentation. https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(13)00732-5/abstract00732-5/abstract)

Further research is needed to understand the impact of differences in NP and PCP patient populations on provider prescribing, such as the higher number of prescriptions issued by NPs for beneficiaries in moderate and high comorbidity groups and the implications of the duration of prescriptions for clinical outcomes, patient-provider rapport, costs, and potential gaps in medication coverage. https://www.journalofnursingregulation.com/article/S2155-8256(17)30071-6/fulltext30071-6/fulltext)

Antibiotics were more frequently prescribed during visits involving NP/PA visits compared with physician-only visits, including overall visits (17% vs 12%, P < .0001) and acute respiratory infection visits (61% vs 54%, P < .001). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5047413/

NPs, relative to physicians, have taken an increasing role in prescribing psychotropic medications for Medicaid-insured youths. The quality of NP prescribing practices deserves further attention. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29641238/

(CRNA) We found an increased risk of adverse disposition in cases where the anesthesia provider was a nonanesthesiology professional. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22305625

NPs/PAs practicing in states with independent prescription authority were > 20 times more likely to overprescribe opioids than NPs/PAs in prescription-restricted states. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32333312/

Both 30-day mortality rate and mortality rate after complications (FtR were lower when anesthesiologists directed anesthesia care. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10861159/

Only 25% of all NPs in Oregon, an independent practice state, practiced in primary care settings. https://oregoncenterfornursing.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/2020_PrimaryCareWorkforceCrisis_Report_Web.pdf

96% of NPs had regular contact with pharmaceutical representatives. 48% stated that they were more likely to prescribe a drug that was highlighted during a lunch or dinner event. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21291293/

85.02% of malpractice cases against NPs were due to diagnosis (41.46%), treatment (30.79%) and medication errors (12.77%). The malpractice cases due to diagnosing errors was further stratified into failure to diagnose (64.13%), delay to diagnose (27.29%), and misdiagnosis (7.59%). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28734486/

APCs and PCPs ordered imaging in 2.8% and 1.9% episodes of care, respectively. Advanced practice clinicians are associated with more imaging services than PCPs for similar patients during E&M office visits .increased use of imaging appears modest for individual patients, this increase may have ramifications on care and overall costs at the population level. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/1939374

>>12644974
In my country doctors only do that if they want to get into academia/research part of things, and a prestige factor for career opportunities

I have Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews and Tortora for Anatomy/Physiology from old uni courses I took (not LIR). I'll just reread them i guess

>>12645683
Cover your bases, you're going to do enough studying in med school, how are your eating habbits? How are you doing exercise wise? How is your sleep? If you want to prepare for stuff, get good at time management, you're going to be busy, being able to manage your shit on a busy schedule will probably yield more ROI than working through some course material. If you got your shit covered, relax, maybe go through some stuff that interests you, but above all enjoy your free time while you have it

Just found out I have a small 4mm gallbladder polyp. The doc told me I just need to do regular check ups once or twice a year to see if it’s gotten bigger but I’m really uneasy on just leaving it be like that instead of following up on it with additional exams to check if it’s truly just a benign polyp and not some early stage malignant one. I read something about 95-98% of <5mm gallbladder polyps being benign but still who the fuck knows, someone has got to be in the 2-5% left right? What do my fellow autists have to say about this?

don't worry man. we find a lot of shit incidentally on scans. if it's not causing symptoms then there's no reason to worry. like your doc said, just come back in a year to see if there's any changes and if you experience any symptoms let them know asap

>>12646061
We don't literally want to see his balls faggot, we're trying to see the bumps. An extremely zoomed in shot of the bumps is enough to at least get an idea of what it could be.

this is why I plan to do a few different jobs. Internal med can swing into a family clinic, or make your own. You can go into the emerg out in the rural areas because they don't care what flavour of MD you are in the ER, they just need a doc (with orientation). Why don't you switch specialities and find something more rewarding?

I think I just chipped my tooth a little bit and swallowed the shard of the tooth afterwards. The loss really is miniscule and it only hurts a little bit. I don't think that I opened the tooth up significantly, no open nerves or something like that.

It is needed to go to the doctor because of this?

>>12647701
can you post a pic?
any bleeding, is the tooth loose, is it tender when you press your tongue against the tooth

>>12647701
Your dentist's name is Crentist.

>>12647707
There is no bleeding, the tooth is not loose and does not waggle and it doesn't feel tender when I press my tongue against it. It just pulsates/hurts a little bit.

It's dark here and my camera is crappy but this pic from the net is pretty similar to mine, even down to the same tooth. Although the damage in mine is a bit smaller.
>>12647743
My dentist is a crentist?

>>12647782
No reason to see a doctor then. If it starts to bleed or is very painful then go see a doc.

Anyone have the Apu looking happy and retarded, waving around a needle? That pic is literally me when I'm inserting a PICC line

Out of curiosity, what would this guy's post healing life be like? He put his feet up on the dashboard and then crashed his car, looks like at least one leg is completely fucked beyond repair

what is this cope? US is fucking itself over with the absurd ladder that it forces physicians to go through - premed degree, med degree, internship, residency, fellowship bla bla bla this absurd amount of hoops you have to jump through before becoming a practitioner, demanding that you sacrifice your life until you're already 30 years old; no wonder there's not enough doctors and they're being taken over by low iq but trained nurses
I was considering moving to US when I was still in medical uni, but then realized that I'd have years of real clinical experience and networking in my own country(where it's only 6 years of uni+1-3 years of internship based on spec) by the time I'd only be finishing up all the artificial filters in the US system

/med/, i need help, please

friday i worked out really hard (like REALLY hard, i had the most intense work out ever) and since then i have had stomach aches that don't really hurt at all and i can barely notice them, but they did last for a while

and i have a hard time farting/shitting

how bad is it? am i going to die?
please, I'm genuinely serious


PS: i did schedule a doctor's appointment, but all the way on Wednesday (due to the pandemic and all he wasn't available today or any time until the 3rd)

>>12648707
add: it's already a huge commitment as is, even with me getting into uni early at 16, only really starting my career at 24; while my high school mates who went into finance or law or codefaggotry were already making big bucks by then after only 4 years of study; I can't comprehend why someone would choose to go through the US medical education system where you're in pleb-status until late twenties or 30 years old

I'm still trying to decide on what I should go to college after I get the Bachelors in General studies any suggestions.

If the issue is brain damage then it's fixable in theory no?

>>12649123
There is no real practical theory on neuron regrowth and there would be far more patients than just cp for it. What we can still achieve is basically cut something off, plaster it together and lets just hope it'll regrow, and that's for peripheral nervous system. How would we go and do it in a central nervous system level is beyond us and the only thing we can use is plasticity in that we can via exercise make use of other parts of the brain for certain tasks we've lost the ability to do due to damage.

5 years of school+ 1 year internship + 1 year social service in fucknowhere.
Social service is not only soul crushing but straight dangerous if you drop below 20% top. A couple months ago one SS practitioner was raped and only made it into the news when she was found dead a couple days ago. The university along the sanitary directives either don't care or are deadass inept which only makes things worse when considering that a lot of rural hellholes are practically lawless.
The "working culture" is also vile and discourages from raising your voice because you may be outlawed from public practice alongside a residence spot. I suffered laboral abuse in multiple places because the director of the sanitary unit was friends with the mafia. This limited my practice greatly and even experienced very tense moments with some entitled patients that made me fear for my safety a couple of times.
On top of that you'll also have the sanitary federal authorities on your ass whenever you fuck up a patient or a pregnant woman suffers complications/god-forbid dies.
