Are most doctors atheists? I'm especially interested in psychiatrists, since hyperreligiosity can often be linked to some kind of mental disorder.

I underwent a multistage urethroplasty over the last year for treatment of a stricture and am going back in next month for a cystoscopy because there's signs of a recurrence. I'm hoping it'll just be some minor scarring and a quick one-and-done DVIU fix, but I'm concerned about the long term prognosis if it's not. Urology's not a particularly "fast-paced" field as I understand it, but I'm curious if there's anything new in development apart from variations on existing DVIU and reconstruction techniques on the off chance it might become an option in the future.

It depends on the severity and cause of the stricture - if it's small enough they'll just do DVIU and that'll usually be the end of it, but the problem with larger or more severe strictures is that repeated DVIU tends to make the problem progressively worse over time, which is why the recommend reconstruction for larger strictures. I had the misfortune of being born with severe hypospadias and had to have a corrective surgery done as a toddler, but the repair seems to have started breaking down over the years and in my mid-to-late 20s I started developing recurring UTIs and eventually signs of a stricture. I had a cystoscopy done about a year and a half ago and the surgeon found that the entire bulbar section of the urethra had completely broken down. I had to have a two-stage buccal graft urethroplasty done, probably ~3-4 cm excised and replaced.

I did visit one of them for multiple visits. Here's how it went: went to emergency room in hindsight a couple months after the symptoms presented, when I was still able to walk for the most part. Nurse asked if I hit my head. Said no. Told about my alcoholism. Immediately asked me to piss for them; I assume they thought because of my movements I was drunk. They took blood. Would they check for b12 levels in standard blood workup as this anon >>11982167 suggests? How about T4 levels? Anyway doc came back and said "Your calcium levels are good," the nurse put me on an electrolyte IV and asked when it finished, 'do you feel better now?' "No, I wasn't hungover to begin with." Stumbled away with discharge that said 'general muscle weakness'.

Found neurologist; went to him for multiple visits. Passed neuropahy test. Got MRI of brain. He apparently didn't look at the results until I was in front of Him again. When he did, he scratched his head in confusion, and said "I'm referring you to this school of medicine so they can hopefully figure out what's wrong."

Third doctor had me draw some shapes and tested memory. Passed both. Called in some colleague who's apparently an expert on motor dysfunction or something. Had me walk back and forth in front of them, then sat down and got reflexes tested and learned I was areflexic, 0 response from the legs. That's it. She didn't so much as order another radiology test or give me advice before sending me on my way. 2 1/2 hour drive.

It was at this point I realized any retard can be a doctor and decided to self-medicate. I snorted 500mgs of thiamine 2 days in a row. No effect. I ordered a box of l-thyroxine off the deep web to test for hypothyroidism. Currently waiting on that. If all else fails, I'm growing mesenchymal stem cells in my $3k incubator that I bought just for this purpose.

B12 deficiency doesn't necessarily mean you aren't eating enough. There could be problems in absorption or metabolism of B12. Problems in absorption can occur in autoimmune diseases of the stomach (pernicious anaemia), or problems in your small intestine (ileal disease; e.g. celiac disease, tumors, Crohn's etc.).

I drank too much one night and woke up with headaches and vision problems. Went to a neurologist and 2 MRIs, they said they thought it was migraine. Went for a 2nd opinion and that neurologist basically pushed me out the door. The fucking ophthalmologist was more help and recommended some exercises to help with the vision. It's not 100% now but it's ok when I get adequate sleep, etc. Was starting to call therapy centers as a last resort when exercises started to do their thing, didn't want to wind up stuck there.

So a while ago I was just randomly picking pages through medical textbooks by a guy, there was a page listing all different bacteria, Salmonella and its partners, Borrellia, Tubercolosis, e.coli, and all divided by categories like enterobacteria and then at the end in a section called "others", there was one called "Tuberculinum burnetti" but when looking it up it does not seem to be a bacteria but an homeopatic treatment, so what gives? Typo?

Nope, not in the slightest. The most likely scenario is to use tech in certain specs to help us.

The thing is that we need something revolutionary like the stethoscope was and every physician would be able to own it without spending so much like the new "prototypes" that come out and cost a ton and have limited use.

Fun fact: computers can already diagnose conditions better than doctors can. That's why whenever I get an ecg it has a suggested diagnosis at the top corner. AI and doctors work together to get a best diagnosis.
Fun fact: diagnosing is like 10% of my job MAX. the other 90% is paper work, signing forms, writing prescriptions, talking to patients and telling them what's going on, emergency resuscitation, and walking. When an AI can do all of that, all jobs will be redundant.

Is it really outperforming 1st contact practitioners? My main concern is matching a patient's history with textbook symptoms. You have to translate the patient's language into clinic argot and then match them with disease criteria that isn't even reliable by itself.
As someone who's pursuing a sub spec in algology and terminal care I dread the fact that nobody experiences pain/illness the same way so there's a great room for error.

create a standard scale and tell people that if they exaggerate their pain they might be misdiagnosed. btw english is shit at describing pain, other languages have much deeper wider description of pains (burning pain is a different word than shocking pain, deep pain is different the surface pain, etc) and they are common words, not obscure scientific terms.

Exactly. And even in those cases errors happen because of cultural limitations.
A couple years ago I had an amerindian patient that suffered from chronic burning pain in her lower limbs, she was treated for HZV and other shit when in reality she was 10+ years diabetic that was experiencing neuropathy.
Asked her if it felt as an electric shock to which she agreed which a joyous smile.
The point is, common language is a difficulty by itself that can be mislead into something waaaay different because of cultural limitations.
I doubt some borderline autistic nerd addicted to tranny porn can translate this deep level of subjectivity into a computer and then into a diagnosis.

Or do I risk taking a trip to Snap City and fucking my shit up, turning my shin bone bruise (most likely a subperiosteal hematoma) into a complete shin bone break/fracture?

>With a bone fracture, all of the trabeculae in a region of bone have broken. But with a bone bruise, an injury only damages some of these trabeculae. It's also called a microfracture. An injury might cause blood to build up in the area beneath the periosteum. This causes a subperiosteal hematoma, a type of bone bruise. An injury might also cause bleeding and swelling in the area between your cartilage and the bone beneath it. This causes a subchondral bone bruise. Or bleeding and swelling can happen in the medulla of your bone. This is called an interosseous bone bruise.

Why is it that abusing asthma medication results in extremely shaky limbs when it's just supposed to open airways? The two seem unrelated

[Anonymous No.11995368]

>>11995154
First line asthma medication is agonists of the Beta-2 receptor. The beta-2 receptor is not just found in the lungs, but also other parts of the body.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta2-adrenergic_agonist

In the lungs, beta-2 activation causes bronchodilation. In the muscles, it causes vasodilation. Back in the day before we had beta-2 medications for asthma, we used to give non-specific beta agonist medications that also affected beta-1 receptors in the heart, which caused tachycardia, arrhythmia and sudden death via cardiac arrest.

Pic rel, ever since I'm a child I regularly get these toe cramps. From my observations they usually occur when my feet are cold (not very cold, but like compared to the temperature before, so when I take off my socks and walk barefoot on a cold floor) or when I stand weirdly and cause the cramp myself, by squeezing my toes or sth.
Is there a name for this? I never could find this condition on Google and I know that some other people have it, when swimming etc.

Very nondescript. However a short differential would include metastatic lesions, septic emboli, staph aureus/pseudomonal pneumonia, TB, or an auto immune disease like Wegner (granulomatosis with polyangiitis).

Unlikely to be something like COVID and really only TB would be worrisome as contagious.

You fell for the grades meme. There are other ways to get into med school, the most reliable being going into a postbacc program that takes you into the program if you pass with a B average. It is reliant on grades still, but it's shit you have to know anyway rather than bullshit undergrad classes.

I was eating a meal (sriracha salmon and asparagus) and all of a sudden i noticed decreased feeling of my tongue. not tingling or pins, but rather it feels like it has lost some sensation and isn't a "part" of me. like when your hand is numb and you touch it, it feels like you're touching someone elses hand. but my tongue isn't tingly or pins and needles. I just noticed all of a sudden that my tongue was different. i've had this meal many times so I don't know if its the spice or what.. but im fucking scared i'm losing my mind or something.
