you won't. it's extremely rare to have a psychosis from ketamine. its effects are psychotomimetic, but those are transient. just tell yourself that you are on a drug and will come down soon, although this will be difficult during k-hole doses where you may feel like you have already died. but you will come out of it very quickly, within half an hour.
it's life-changing, i think anyone with battle scars from childhood or issues relating to trauma, emotional dysregulation and a small worldview (common amongst 4chan shitters) should use it. once you become nothing in a k-hole mimicking an nde, and your brain induces massive bdnf release yada yada yada, you will see how life is all perspective, everything is subjective
beware you can fall down again easily, hence the maintenance. 3x week at first. once a week then. once a month then. think of it as meditation. 2 hours of ketamine is worth 2 months of meditating.
good luck

It's hard to get pure ketamine that hasn't been cut with bullshit, could an analog described as having the exact same effects (but a longer duration) like 2-fluorodeschloroketamine be used as a substitute or does only ketamine have any therapeutic effects?

If any of you are in psychiatry, or are thinking of entering psychiatry, here's a video dispelling the myths of antidepressants, based on the latest research:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5c
The conclusion is that antidepressants are terrible drugs which harm patients more than they help patients.

This mostly has to do with 'depression' being a shitty umbrella term for a wide range of symptoms. For the most part, crippling depression results in abnormally low brain activity which is modulated more by dopamine and norepenepherine than seretonin, which has an inhibitory effect. However, dopamine is contraindicated with ppl with atypical depression and or anxiety. There's just so many possible causes that SSRIs only benefit a subset which has heavy overlap with OCD.

Even then (from experience) SSRIs are shit at treating OCD, and absolutely kill ur libido. I've had much better results with benzos but my fagchiatrist think I'll get rlly aggressive, and he gave me fluovoxamine instead which is actually somewhat anxiolytic, fuck sertraline. Also low-dose dexamfetamine seems to quel symptoms despite OCD being correlated with abnormally high orbifrontal activity.

>What's some shit doctors do that they don't tell patients
sometimes we prescribe placebos so the patient will shut the fuck up, we dont mention it of course, Im a dermafag so I will put you an example
>patient comes for dermatosis papulosa nigra
>confirm diagnosis with dermatoscopy
>explain him that is a benign skin disease associated with dark skins
>explain that we can treat them with electrodesiccation
>"ok but is there an ointment that I can use for it"
>explain him that its a genetic predisposition and the best treatment is to cut them off
>"you sure there's no other way?"
>explain him again
>"are you sure of the diagnoses, Im kinda worried its some kind of cancer"
>offer him to do a skin biopsy so he can be at ease
>"but I dont want to be cut"
>explain that the treatment for dermatosis papulosa nigra is optional and merely for aesthetic and he can keep them if he wants
>"but I dont want them, there must be a cure or something"
>at this point Im done, Im barely holding my dermatologist persona
>explain him that we can try to use this state-of-the-art device to cut them off, but it will need to apply a "special" ointment during night so the treatment can work
>"excellent, I knew you would get me doc"
>so I ended up using a common bovie cautery to remove some of the dermatosis, the patient felt slight heat but it was tolerable
>I prescribed him the "special" ointment (basically some fancy cold cream with a slightly more expensive price tag)
>"thanks doc"
I have been working with this patient for 6 months, with great results and he is happy with the treatment, he has even recommended me to his friends for the same problem, interestingly his friends have been very reasonable and I didnt need to prescribe placebo for them. but yeah, to answer your question, we use a lot of placebo for those patients that want to feel special, pic related, its dermatosis papulosa nigra (not the patient's pic but you get the idea)

Many recent papers are leaning to the belief that vitiligo is more of a genetic trait rather than a disease, kinda of how cats and dogs have white spots in their skin as well. It feela a bit like a scapegoat move to not say “we have no fucking clue whats going on and we dont care to research for a cure” out loud, but ultimately it is a cosmetic problem if at all and many people live with it without real issues

what's /med/'s concensus on anki? I know normies love it for medicine but in my experience using it for medicine and other subjects there's a million pitfalls you can fall into (like memorizing cards instead of the info on the cards, cue dependency, etc) and pic related shows it's not very useful when it comes to application of knowledge. Sorry if I'm shitting up the thread but this is the only place on four channel to ask, except /lang/ I guess (in which anki is completely useless).

Pood out a big ball of food that smells like the food did going in, the most interesting metabolic anion gap
A low metabolic acidosis,
so, therefore I am going to check the blood/body is more alkaline because I heard oncd that acidic = retarded and akaline = fast. I need to check up on that
I have read that increased CO2 makes renal salt retention higher
The pH is not a factor at Fri, 1 Mar 2024 03:03:57 UTC No. 16050860
The blood being more alkaline could suggest higher prolactin levels (or insulin release maybe, I haven't looked any.of the insulin stuff up)
Actually prelactin is acidic
The pH is not a factor at Fri, 1 Mar 2024 03:04:59 UTC No. 16050863
It's akaline is the blood (should be),
The right (left) side of my heart can barely be felt and rjhjt side / center is pumping rapidly; so the neck and jugular is expanding when I breathe IN
This means (alongside my farting and burps) the blood is higher CO2. But that doesn't align with the fast poo
The pH is not a factor at Fri, 1 Mar 2024 03:06:07 UTC No. 16050865
My poos have been the perfect size and colour (as well as frequency) now and when fasting, and I did go into prostulation - thought to balance acetylcholine - to write things in the book,
The fasting glucose (not fructose) levels must of slowed the release of hormones into the parasympathetic nervous system, helping cure my IBS which was caused by an overload in acetylcholine in the parasympathetic, fore the sympathetic to take over those functions
The pH is not a factor at Fri, 1 Mar 2024 03:07:09 UTC No. 16050866
There is, therefore, a properly balanced hormonal release in my body of Alpha hormones
And that it was probably not caused by any pH imbalance of the blood from salt or carbon dioxide
The pH is not a factor at Fri, 1 Mar 2024 03:09:35 UTC No. 16050872
The alpha-2 hormone haa agonised the receptor, causing the blood vessel to dilate, my cardiac output has increased (though) for my heart to pump faster now, and before, my blood sugar levels and system response to that (releasing the hormones and inhibiting the receptors) was likely to have caused the blood problems I mentioned before by, like I said, inhibiting the Alpha-2 and agonising Beta receptor/s when I am at rest
The beta receptors are so engaged, in fact, I'm wanting to chain smoke, but that might dilate my vessels...

That said, I find that many medical students and doctors have a martyr complex (probably because they most likely don't understand the value of money) and don't realize that at the end of the day, it's just a job.

The biggest mistake on human history was the agriculture.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respi
Carbohydrate generate too much CO2 from metabolism, higher CO2 acidify the blood and kidney and lungs expels the CO2 excess.
But lungs expels CO2 means fast breathing meaning stress, mouth breathing posture at worst, this means paradoxical human body don't get enough CO2 because lungs over expelling.
Meaning organs don't get enough CO2 for O2 exchange, body is chronically acid and inflammation, high acid body increment cortisol levels and calcium get out body meaning weak bones and cavities.

Over pass decades increment sugar and simple carbohydrates destroy the human health.

“What happened?” Boyd asked me and Monge, turning a mold over in his hands. “How
could all of a sudden we develop crooked teeth and narrow jaws, and impacted nasal
airways? That’s only recently happened, and it coincides with women going into the
textile mills in the industrial revolution.”
We often think of evolution as something that happened in the distant past,
transforming Cro-Magnon people into our modern selves. The “evolution of humankind”
timelines in natural history museums typically span hundreds of thousands of years and
end with the earliest evidence of written language, a few thousand years B.C. But the
truth is that our bodies are still evolving — our brains are shrinking, our elbows are
narrowing. And our faces are still changing too, leading to dramatic changes in our
teeth, noses, and jaws.
Skeletal records show that for hundreds of thousands of years, people had beautiful
skulls: straight teeth, wide jaws, forward faces, large airways. Robert Corruccini, an
emeritus anthropology professor at Southern Illinois University, found perfectly straight
teeth and wide jaws in children’s skulls from pre-Roman times among Etruscan remains
in southern Italy.
Then, about 250 years ago, our faces began to change. Boyd argues that industrialization
interrupted the ancestral patterns of weaning and feeding, with babies nursing on
demand for years while also trying solid foods under adults’ watchful eyes. Boyd says
that the widespread adoption of bottle feeding, pacifiers and soft processed food
deprived toddlers of practice chewing and distorted the shapes of their mouths. (“In
modern society you have Gerber’s baby food,”

Corruccini told me. “Etruscan kids had to
chew once they were getting off breast milk. Babies have remarkably powerful chewing
capabilities.”) Just like diabetes and heart disease, malocclusion — the misalignment of
jaws and teeth — followed industrialization around the globe. Meanwhile, people in
societies that never industrialized enjoyed well-aligned teeth and jaws.

You can murder one person with very bad respiration with just high carbohydrate food.
Complications may occur when nutritional support is administered either parenterally or enterally. Inappropriate nutritional formulas with high carbohydrate loads can precipitate respiratory failure in patients with compromised lung function, induce respiratory distress which manifests as dyspnea and tachypnea in an originally normal lung condition, produce hypercapnic acidosis in mechanically ventilated patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as well as patients recovering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) without chronic lung disease
https://ufhealth.org/conditions-and
Respiratory acidosis develops when there is too much carbon dioxide (an acid) in the body. This type of acidosis is usually caused when the body is unable to remove enough carbon dioxide through breathing. Other names for respiratory acidosis are hypercapnic acidosis and carbon dioxide acidosis. Causes of respiratory acidosis include:
Chest deformities, such as kyphosis
Chest injuries
Chest muscle weakness
Long-term (chronic) lung disease
Neuromuscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy
Overuse of sedative drugs, causing decreased respiration

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rober
More than half of modern Western people have crooked teeth judged as needing orthodontic intervention (many less receive it due to economic constraints), and more than 50% of industrialized persons need refractive adjustment through lenses. Boaz attributes myopia to degeneration (self-domestication: p. 179) which is an old and disproven genetic etiology for both visual and dental anomalies (Corruccini, 1999), yet these anomalies are much closer to the “norm” for modernized people than to being an aberration. Could aboriginals have survived with such impediments more than 20,000 years ago? A majority of living modern people are relevant to the answer, which contrasts with the relatively few victims of the fatal diseases. True, the latter are more terminal, but the former have more to say about what afflicts the majority of us all, and they yield more statistical explanatory power

So I'm building a medkit for a schizo SHTF situation (as in apocalyptic scenario with no access to doctors) and I need some ideas. Before I get laughed at no I don't think or hope I'll ever need it, just feel like I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it even if the chance I'll need it is miniscule. Aside the usual medkit stuff I added sutures, hemostats, scalpel + blades, basically shit for field surgery. The one thing is, that sounds like it would suck without local anesthesia and I'm not sure what's the best (legal) option here. I mean if shit does hit the fan my first course of action would be to hopefully loot a pharmacy for the good stuff. I thought about lidocaine but apparently that's prescription only where I'm from (though some stores appear to be selling vials seems like a scam or fed honeypot but idk). Maybe screw the local anesthesia and pack some small bottles of everclear lmao, though that probably won't help if I needed to do a Leonid Rogozov tier self surgery. That being said in that situation my chance of survival probably remains near 0% given I've literally never performed a surgery let alone on myself.

not sure
in essence, all NMDA antagonists should have some antidepressant effect
however, their targeting of other receptors matters a lot here
ketamine just happens to be magically dirty, in this regard. it miraculously just targets the right ones. I truly believe it's one of the compounds given to humans by God.
some NMDA antagonists also have differential psychotogenic effects, due to their binding affinity, mentioned offsite activity among other things
phencyclidine, for example, produces cognitive impairments that are consistent with schizophrenia, and it doesnt take much to do that
with ketamine, you'd have to be taking wild recreational amounts to get the same effect
ketamine is, in most cases, neuroprotective and procognitive
tl;dr: I wouldn't fuck with RC dissociatives.
>>16050583
it depends
some psychedelics and dissociatives have a psycholytic effect. this means they allow you to separate yourself from past traumas you may have undergone, giving you a new perspective and freeing you from ties to previous thought patterns that reinforce loops that lead to stress, anxiety and depression
lsd and psilocybin both are capable of this, as are dissociatives
psilocybin and ketamine, however, have profound neurobiological effects, that outshine this mentioned psycholytic effect. that is, regardless of your experience (generally), at the right dosages, K and psilocybin will promote cognition and mood in a lasting manner.
essentially, it boils down to a promise vs a guarantee

You don't give them the good stuff. Then you'll get an actual depressed NEET and realize he's getting some EMSAM or Parnate as a first line treatment. Once you view it this way it's a lot easier to go about it and also reinforces the idea that psychiatry to me is the only eugenic form of medicine. You enhance the deserving and neutralize the defective.

>2-FDCK is structurally similar to ketamine, so a similar mechanism of action is expected,[10] but there has been no study done to confirm this. Due to the halogen in the 2 position not being a chlorine but a fluorine, the molecule is less polar [3] This could influence binding to proteins, such as the NMDA receptor that ketamine primarily binds to and acts as an antagonist towards.
Yeah, seems like the mechanism is similar but not quite identical

The Time Travel Interpretation of the Bible
>https://vixra.org/abs/2304.0073
We describe the Biblical work of ages as a time travel program for saving humanity from extinction. God's existence is proven as a consequence of the existence of time travel, which is supposed. We present the case that Abraham's grandson Jacob, also called Israel, is Satan. We make the case that the Israelites are described as God's chosen people in the Bible despite their identity as the children of Satan because God's Messiah is descended from Abraham through Satan. They are chosen as the ancestors of the Messiah rather than as Satan's children. We propose an interpretation in which God commanded Abraham to kill his son Isaac to prevent Isaac from becoming the father of Satan. We suggest that God stayed Abraham's hand above Isaac because preventing the existence of Satan would also prevent the existence of Satan's descendant the Messiah. The history of the Israelites is summarized through Jesus and Paul. This book is written so that the number of believers in the world will increase.

A stray cat I'm familiar with and not concerned scratched my hand. Not aggressive or acting weirdly but it drew blood. Superficial injury, risk of rabies? How many days to wait for the animal to die in case of rabies before I could see if I am in the clear?

Bartonella thus leading to cat scratch disease. Get on an antibiotic ASAP. Rabies is unlikely. Rabbies vaccine can cause nasty side effects. If you live in a first world country odds of the cat being rabid and spreading vis scratch are extremely remote. Most ER doctors wouldn't go forward with rabies prophalaxis protocol in this situation.

I take 300mg fluvoxamine, 750mg pramipexole, 2g acamprosate a day. Recently quit my 4mg brexpiprazole and my chronic restlessness is finally banished, nicotine is rewarding enough to get me through the day without alcohol, weed and meth.
Am I correct this because the brex blocks a1b adrenergic receptors to decrease excitatory transmission to dopamine neurons and occupies D2/d3 autoreceptors thus preventing pramipexole from desensitising them??
Like fuck.. I've just wasted 3 years drinking and destroying my health because I thought brexpiprazole was good. Friendship ended with my psychiatrist.

I ate some McVities chocolate Digestives and got a little bit ill, but it might've been the alcohol, and I got loud again and punched the walls from the biscuits. So I ate some more and went to sleep for 20 hours (probably mental), collected some of my urine, two samples, and they both smell like chocolate. The urine is light but over time, or maybe because of fluids, turned darker (out of the presence of oxygen). They smell like chocolate
And it isn't the usual sweet smell of urine. The urine coming out into the toilet bowl is see-through orange / I would say tea color or grey-orange. At the start of the week i had half a bottle of lucozade
My suspect right now is palm oil
When I eat pringles (which contain it) I get all mad and start domestically abusing my walls again because I suddenly think it's a good idea to start trying to build up my bones in that moment

The exact scenario you're talking about is a big concern these days apparently. The Med school admissions people i've spoken too talk a lot about this. MCAT gets more and more important compared to GPA every year. Low MCAT w/ 4.0 is objectively worse than even a fucking 3.6 and a 521. They know the latter at least knows their shit while the first put in the minimum effort required to pass dumb ass piss easy uni courses and instantly forgot everything once the test is taken or cheated their way through this shit.

Hi /med/, why is it legal that psychiatrists can forcibly inject people with antipsychotics against that person's will, when it's known that antipsychotics fuck up your brain and body in all sorts of ways?
>Because the patient is distressed!
Yeah but maybe the patient has legitimate reasons to be distressed? Maybe they don't want to talk about what made them distressed because it's something that makes them feel extremely ashamed? Did you ever think of that? No, instead you just thought "this person is distressed and I don't know why, therefore they must have a brain problem, and they need drugging".
Psychiatry is disgusting.

im 27 and i'm pretty sure i have an umbilical hernia. i do powerlifting. squats / deads / bench / etc.
i plan on going to my GP next week and asking them what they think, but should i just stop lifting? i've been reading studies and forums and stuff and it seems like i shouldn't lift weights, and it's going to be like 6 weeks after surgery until i can even start back.
reading up about complications, chronic pain, recurrences... it's all really depressing. i've been trying to convince myself its something else but then i look in the mirror and feel my belly button and, nah, i'm pretty sure it is.
you google anything about it, and it's all mesh lawsuits. but, there's a lower recurrence rate with meshes and the studies look like outcomes with respect to outcomes are basically the same, except meshes are less likely to fail. and then there's laproscopic vs open surgery. there's so much conflicting stuff, and i'm sure i could find a doctor who would do any of them. i just don't want to choose wrong.

I wrote a model to estimate plasma concentration of my ADHD meds (methylphenidate), and I need to find a way to repeatedly measure ADHD symptoms, so that I can see how the two correlate (dosage titration etc).
I tried doing some of the tests on humanbenchmark.com for 10 days, but as you can see from the charts below they are basically useless for this purpose. Do you know of any websites where I can do the same sort of tests? Preferably if you know it should work for this purpose, but also just pointing me in the right direction to check it out myself is appreciated.

I'm probably the only nurse on this board, unless I am proven wrong. I am a psych RN.
>How do you like it?
Any career in healthcare is good, but nursing is really great. Good benefits, good pay(with some experience and overtime, you can easily get into 100k. I barely have any experience and I am making 70k to 80k-ish with overtime and night shift differential.
>Just got accepted into nursing school to start this summer. I'm genuinely excited
Congrants, just don't give alot of personal information to your female classmates, or female nurses once you graduate. At best they will tell everyone and at worst, they will use it against you. Just do your job and be friendly. Master the art of talking without saying anything.
>It's a 3 semester fast track program
For an RN? Are you doing an LVN/LPN program? You need 2 years to get an ADN so you can become an RN. 4 for your BSN.
>My plan after school is to get a year or two of hospital experience under my belt and then go be a travel nurse for a couple years. Thoughts?
It is not covid anymore, so you're not gonna be making 100+ dollars an hour. You will probably need more experience too depending on your specialty. Travel nursing is not as easy as the people who shill it claim it is. If you can become a travel nurse though, you will most likely make more than the average MD/DO resident.
>>16060417
>Yeah but maybe the patient has legitimate reasons to be distressed?
Yeah, those patients are in high functioning unit, where we utilize de-escalation techniques. 9/10 we can talk someone down and help them out. Most of those people want to take their medications because they don't want to act like lunatics.
>this person is distressed and I don't know why
We do know why
>therefore they must have a brain problem
Yeah that is why they are in a BHU.

Nice, thanks for the input. It's an AAS program, so I will be able to take the NCLEX-RN when I graduate. Is an ADN preferable to an AAS? I know a BSN is preferred of course, and have seen as much in certain job postings, but I was under the impression there wasn't much practical difference in the different nursing associate's degrees. Also, what do you think of nursing residency programs? A local hospital offers one and that seems like a good way to get my feet wet the first year and see all the different specialties.

>Is an ADN preferable to an AAS?
It's the same thing. They are the same degree, just different acronyms. I am just surprised that fast track ADN programs exist. Usually people go to LVN school and then fast track to an RN degree. I personally did not know about fast track ADNs. Make sure you pay attention and study, cause such a short program kinda seems strange to me.
>I know a BSN is preferred
You will have no issue getting a job as an ADN, that's what I currently have too. However, basically every hospital you apply to will state in your contract that you have to get a BSN by 2 or 3 years. It's a nation wide standard at this point. Also with an ADN and a BSN, you will get paid more later on. Of course, you also start work 2 years early and can just do your BSN online, so you save money and don't go broke like BSN only students.
>what do you think of nursing residency programs?
They also are becoming the standard. Overall, I think it is a good idea. The training that you will get for your specialty is invaluable. However, hospitals also use it as an excuse to pay new grads less. Other than that though, it is far better than being thrown into the frying pan, making a med error cause you have no experience, and then getting thrown under the bus.

They are right about patient staff ratios and hospitals paying like shit. They are also right about management. However, most of those people are just women cracking under the pressure and going on reddit to vent instead of looking for solutions. Learn from the experiences you see there, but don't forget you are in a place full of estrogen and hormonal imbalances.

I am 22 right now. It works out pretty well for me. I only have an ADN, so in the 2 ish years that it will take me to get my bachelors, I will also do premed courses. During that time, I also will accumulate hospital experience on top of the experience I already have as a nurse and other jobs. I should be around 24-25 years old ideally by the time I finish everything I need to go to med school. 26 at the latest if complications pop up. So a non trad student who wants to matriculate at around the same age of a traditional pre med. Not too shabby imo.

In a paid internship at a diagnostic lab. I'm learning phlebotomy in a strange way by shadowing an actual phlebotomist at my primary clinic, but I want to be the one to draw blood. I've been told that I can be hired once I learn phlebotomy since I'll serve as the acting lab technician when she's not in the office, i.e., take over and be responsible for drawing patients' blood.
Which leads me to my question: Is there a way to practice drawing blood that doesn't involve spending $100 on a dummy arm? Or do I take the hit and spend the money on a dummy arm? No way in hell am I spending over $1000 just for training, especially since I'm going into grad school in the fall which will basically get me the certification anyways plus more.

Tinnitus can have a variety of causes, if you've seen an ENT and your auditory system is fine it might be a musculoskeletal issue due to cervical spine or temporomandiular joint dysfunction you could adress with a physical therapist or an orthodontist, but there are also other causes that aren't easily diagnosable let alone treatable. Either way the prognosis for chronic tinnitus isn't that great, you can reduce the intensity but people rarely recover fully. You should look into CBT and integrative therapy to reduce the severity. Keep in mind that chronic disease like that come with a strong psychogenic component, they cause stress, reduce your quality of life and thus make you more susceptible to the symptoms. You'll need to built up your resilience and develop a routine that keeps you functional and your stress down to break through that cycle.
There's a lot of tinnitus research going on right now, if you've been through the regular treatment options and are desperate enough to be a guinnea pig you could also look for clinical trials in your area https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?c

Drawing blood is piss easy, you look up the basics, watch someone do it and then start praticing it on patients. Just ask the phlebotomist you're shadowing to let you practice on patients with good veins, if that's not allowed for some retarded reason get a set and practice on a friend or family member, keep it hygenic and the worst thing you'll do is bust a vein and give someone a small hematoma

Phlebotomy is quite easy.
You just need to practice.
Though the dummy arms are good at getting your sequence correct, they're not very good for actually training you to hit veins since they're a different texture and real veins are more mobile.
