Hold up, UK allows fags to donate blood? Even if you want to avoid trouble with the queers just accept the blood and then discard it in the bio waste bin like a normal person.

No, the blood and blood plasma came from the US. The US paid people to donate (I don't think the UK did) but this meant that blood donations came from people with a high risk of blood-borne diseases (prisoners, drug users, etc).
>In the 1970s, the UK was struggling to meet the demand for blood-clotting treatments, so imported supplies from the US.
>But much of the blood was bought from high-risk donors such as prison inmates and drug-users.

I remember the black gay population has 20% HIV infected or something and a fuck ton other of diseases. pretty much 100% of them has something that is bloodborne. it's obvious that some certain population shouldn't be allowed to donate blood.
the trannies who were in charge of this should be executed.

There is no actual cure. It's an autoimmune disease. You can try to improve your immune system and digestive system, but your body will always be on edge because your immune system is damaged and will attack your bowels if you make a mistake or have a bad week.
> Treatment help
Make sure you get at least 8 hours sleep a day. Melatonin can help in this.
Try to keep stress down as much as possible. Stress taxes the immune system.
Make sure you get enough vitamins especially B, C, E, Potassium and Zinc
Eat less fat and sugar, more fiber and protein.
Stay hydrated with at least 10 cups water a day
Avoid all medications that negatively impact the immune system, your sleep cycle, and your hydration.

It's the wealthy doing this. Not all of them are Jews, but focusing on Jews, the left, or each other makes life easier on them. The more divided and hateful we are, the less of a threat we pose. So they make obvious "threat" groups then spread propaganda. By the way, paid posters are all over every single social media. It's not just the 50 Cent Army anymore. Cambridge Analytica is the tip of the iceberg. All these groups buy data off data brokers then use it to sway us.

Thoughts on the Bolus Theory by Marc Giradot.
Read his book and the claims are bold but logical.
TLDR;
When injecting any substance into muscle it's actually high risk of injecting into a blood vessel. Muscles have a lot of blood supply and aspiration is not common practice. Plus you can penetrate blood vessels as the needle enters and then fluid pressure will suck up the liquid into the bloodstream.
You then essentially have a bolus travelling through the system and can spread out in various ways and in some cases damage different areas. E.g. perforate the blood brain barrier (neurological symptoms).
The issue with MRNA Vaxx is any affected cells are destroyed by the immune system and if it's in the blood then the endothelial cells can be destroyed in various organs and you essentially get fuckery. Different substances can have different effects etc. So basic but seems like a huge oversight on drug delivery.

Go to social functions when you have a chance, do practice questions when you find time, figure out what basically standardized 3rd party resources everybody uses that have the highest efficacy for studying, if you have anatomy lab with a practical final (identify tagged organ, vessel, structure etc) review your dissected donor as well as some of the other ones your peers are working on (if you they use all the donors for the final) as their preservation may not look the same or the way they dissected and what flaps they reflected may be different,
practice questions are by far the best form of studying, even if oyu say you have a different learning style, you will ultimately come around to mostly doing practice questions and eventually wish you did so sooner; difficult curriculum can be overcome with practice questions, BAD curriculum can be overcome with practice questions, a rotation where you feel like your attending didn't really help you prepare for their exam can be overcome with practice questions.

Just my 2c's on the whole thing.
UCLA's insane academic failures as outlined by the article is not entirely explained by Lucero's blatant disregard for meritocracy as Dean of Admissions.
Now, as to why I think this.
https://sairo.ucla.edu/amcas-score
This has data from 2016-2021; average UCLA accepted MCAT scores have gone up from 510 to 514. Can't find any official data from 2022 or 2023, but other sources also suggest MCAT averages for those years are at 514.
Context in regards to NBME shelf examination, generally fail rate will range from 5-15%, so the shown 50% fail rate is absolutely beyond the pale. While you can definitely had 10-15 underqualified URM hidden in "average MCAT" in a class of 175 per year, you can't hide 35-45% admissions of retarded URM in the averages. So, it would be one thing if their shelf fail rate jumped from 5% to 20%, and stayed there under Lucero's time as Dean of Admissions, but this failure is essentially too big to be entirely explained by UCLA admitting an additional 10-15 spics and nogs a year.
A couple thoughts as to what could explain this huge jump in failures. UCLA's transition from a 24 month preclinical to a 12 month preclinical curriculum was done extremely poorly. Most t20 med schools have been transitioning from 24month preclinical down to 18months quite successfully, with a few going even as low as 12 months. From my understanding UCLA jumped straight from 24 months to 12 months without transition of their curriculum timing and space. I also think the DEI brainrot is entirely institutional (undergrad, graduate, residency, fellowship, etc etc). Like they had mentioned in the article, they spend 3-4 hours every other week (which is like 80 hours over a period of a year), on DEI nonsense, and this is partially backed up by somewhat recent post about part of their DEI curriculum

80 hours spent on DEI, instead of medical education especially after cutting your pre-clinical time is just egregious time mismanagement by the administration in charge of medical education.
As far as US News ranking, it's shitty ranking system that changed their criteria, which would explain the drop in their rankings.
I think the most damning part about the article is 20% of their 4th year class in January (when residency interview are wrapping up), haven't even taken Step 2 yet... and 10% of that 4th year class hasn't taken Step 1.

I remember as a medical student when I had to go to DEI classes just wishing that that time was otherwise dedicated to practicing clinical skills or procedural stuff like doing IV lines, catheters, ABGs etc.
I'm a first year doctor and I'm worse than nurses at IV lines because the formal teaching for that shit was fucking awful, but I spent at least 3 hours a week getting left wing propaganda drilled into my head.

and therein lies its own undoing. you can't get an association of people who all generally are pretty intelligent (even UCLA seemed to draw the line at 20% diversity admissions) and not have them notice this stuff and figure it all out. it creates a dynamic where the DEI brainwash classes actually counterproduce, and make people more aware of how rotten this nonsense is.
im a pilot and you see the same thing in aviation. all the DEI pounding has just made pilots more racist and bigoted, sensing that anyone who isn't a white man probably got handholded so much in training that they don't deserve. it sucks for some of the women and black men who work hard especially. there is no doubt a stigma.

the article itself seems to sites all these new changes to curriculum then for some reason, ignores it's own evidence and ends up saying diversity was the problem, when it does sound like they could make a good argument for the curriculum being the biggest factor.
Given it's from a far right rag so of course their conclusion was "diversity bad."
>>16192497
DEI classes, mandatory wellness, anything similar. Every hour in a class that is not clinically useful or useful for exam prep is a block of uworld that could have been done.
80 hours is a full pass of uworld.
>>16192599
IDK about canada and canada's exams but in the US, uworld is the gold standard for preparing for our exams (NBME shelf exams, USMLE exams). It's our gold standard because uworld tries to simulate the test environment and also tries to make the meta of their questions very similar to our board exams.
Anki is a good tool, it's basically an app for flashcards; there are a bunch of good decks out there for all the subjects as well as things ones for like last minute board review and ones for anatomy with photos.
If you prefer having a roommate get a roommate, if you prefer living alone, live alone. Plenty had roommates and it sometimes meant that they got a bit of a nicer rental place since they were splitting it.

The easiest way to debunk this is for UCLA to post their admission/testing stats by race, which they won't, because it'll show that admitting ethnic incompetents contributed to their problem. The fact they did a lot of other stupid shit isn't the win you think it is

Ever since I was about 18, I've been extremely bloated, 24/7, every day of the year, every second of my life.
It's been like this for a decade and I look almost comical because I'm really skinny but my gut bulges out like a balloon.
Not only that but often when I poop there's lots of slimy mucus shit that comes out.
I've tried every diet, cutting out gluten, exercise, cutting out alcohol and processed foods. Nothing helps.
Been to doctors and they couldn't find anything wrong.
Do you guys have any ideas on what it could be or what I could try? I'm at a loss here.

you probably have some sort of food allergy or intolerance. figure out what it is, because the doctors can't do trial and error with food the way you can.
cut things out one at a time, elimination diet. you'll narrow it down. I had something similar and it got to the point where I couldn't sleep or keep food without shitting it out, and when I cut back on dairy everything started feeling better. to this day the symptoms come back if I eat bad, so be prepared to make major changes. it's not hard though, your tastes will adjust.

Based on AAMC MCAT/GPA Matriculant for race/gender, the average black matriculant for US MD has a 3.6cgpa, and 505.7 mcat, which still puts them well above average for general public.
Just for some reference, average USDO matriculant is 3.6cgpa, and 504.7 mcat.
So while black medical student might not be as smart as their asian/white peers, it would not be accurate to call them retarded.

Well as you could guess, medical facilities in most parts of the country are more than a little squalid. This is compensated for by having doctors trained to know a little about a lot, rather than the other way round in developed countries. Each doctor can not only look after basic medical and surgical cases, but also supervise allied health workers, manage hospitals and other facilities, and look after public health at remote sites. Where they take a hit, however, is in academics and super-specialties. Pakistani medical journals are among the worst in the world and bogus articles to save time and money are frequently published. Nobody really cares about that stuff either, because it isn't the most pressing concern at the moment.
On the non-doctor side of things, the outlook is pretty bleak. Despite there being enough setups to cater to the population's basic needs, they are vastly underfunded and the people are still too retarded and inbred to go to them. There are still a lot of places where homeopathic, herbal, and spiritual healers are preferred.

It really depends. There are governments/communities that will pay you a certain amount just to be a doctor there. For example, in Australia:
> You can receive incentive payments of between $3,600 and $60,000 per year, depending on activity levels, location, how long a doctor has been part of the program and, from 1 January 2024, a doctor’s vocational registration status.
of course thats not much compared to what you would get in a big city (or another *country*) but, well, if you want to get out of the city then it’s a good option

They were thinking "painkillers were designed for dying people and since this person isn't dying, he doesn't need them" which was correct. There was a reported study that showed that IV tylenol was as effective at relieving pain as opiates were, but opiates also make you high and care about the pain less.

I have a public service job that pays me full paycheck working twelve hours on Saturday and another twelve on Sundays. I’m fresh of residency so I don’t feel like working 90hs a week anytime soon.
Rest of the week I play xbox and hit the strip club. If I feel like working or need some fast cash I go to the private hospital. It’s pretty alright, doe it may be different in your country.

Have you ever actually been in a mental hospital as a healthcare worker, or are you shilling because you got committed yourself?
In the latter case, to answer
>treating people with mental health issues like criminals might actually make things worse?
Completely untrue. 95% of criminals and mentally ill (addicts, schizos, etc.) are irredeemable trash who will never contribute more to others than they'll take. For most of them, a temporary involuntary commitment isn't enough. It would make things better to simply remove them from society permanently.

pic related is what you are posting
sexual dysfunction is a well known side effect of SSRIs and every physician will tell you to expect it if you are going to take it. There are alternatives.
I reckon if you didn't tell patients that finasteride affected DHT production there'd be no sexual side effects. Mind over matter. Test is more related to erections/libido than DHT.

Our negative feedback systems respond to testosterone levels in our blood. I.e. when testosterone increases, its production is down-regulated and vice versa. Therefore, DHT blockage is unlikely to cause any significant increases in testosterone. The estradiol pathway is only activated when there are sudden surges of testosterone outside of normal homeostatic control, such as sex hormone secreting tumours or exogenous testosterone.

Despite what the "scientific consensus" pretends is true such as race being a social construct, medicine shows you there are different human types (even for basic stuff like X disease being more common in whites/blacks). It doesn't take a genius to see the decreasing need for large populations due to technology and how most of the population is effectively useless (see Pareto), of a particular human type and are inherently dysgenic. It is no wonder that doctors as a profession held the largest membership with the Nazi party.

Help me out.
I'm 29. I tried edging like 2 times a day for 3 days straight. It seems i gave myself prostatitis because since I started I began to wake up every hour to piss insufficiently or with hesitance. Now I piss very weakly and have mild pain in my left groin.
My first thought was that I had gotten a UTI so I started nitrofurantoin, on day 1 for now. I don't have fever, chills or anything else.
I usually masturbate like 2 times a day in average. Occasionally when I go to sleep just having masturbated I wake up once in the night and urinate with difficulty, but next day all is ok afterwards. I have experienced an episode of prostatitis like this before, I treated it with amoxicillin for 7 days.
The symptoms are very bothersome. Do you think I should take amoxicillin or trimethoprim anyway? Do you think ibuprofen will help reduce the prostate swelling?

From a quick glance, it looks like HBCU MD schools don't have particularly high stats so that could be a reason why.
You said you became less racist - does that mean that you were willing to set aside your racism to go to an HBCU because it was an MD school?

They don't, they're about the same or slightly above the best DO schools. But that's because 90% of their students are black which they care more about than stats, it's probably harder to get into an HBCU as a White/Asian person than it is to get into a normal MD. Not that I did anything exceptional like I said just kind of a luck crapshoot.

If you framed it as a "practice exam question" you may have gotten responses. OP was right and we don't work for free. That and we can't examine you over a Burmese kayaking imageboard. Go to a podiatrist if that's your toe

What could be causing chest tightness and cold flashes that isn't heart related?

I started taking ciprofloxacin because I got scared from the pelvic pain and the nitrofurantoin would have fucked the culture anyways. I'll take it for 2 weeks hopefully it will go away.
Seeing different posts on reddit it seems that this shit tends to chronic pelvic pain, and that differential diagnosis also applies for intersticial cystitis. I'm starting to thing the actual problem is some muscle fiber rupture that tends to leave my sphincters spasmed. Maybe I should try to see if methocarbamol alleviates it better.

chest pain is usually costochondritis or fibromyalgia. By cold flashes I guess you mean some vagal reflex.

So, are there any differences in patient outcomes between patients seen by DOs vs MDs?

Presumably, since MDs tend to be smarter, and harder working, in addition to getting a better education you'd want to see an MD.

quick search
Mortality rates for patients treated by MDs were 9.4 percent, and DOs had a 9.5 percent death rate,

I would be very surprised if that had a significant p value, so it means that MD and DO's are basically as smart as one another, or that the DO's very good in filtering themselves into appropriate specialties/practices that might have less inherent mortality risk.
Or all the AAMC's "diversity" is catching up with them.

Their test scores going in are lower, but by the time they've finished their training there isn't a gap in intelligence large enough to cause excess patient mortality. Where do you think I'm reasoning wrong?

Why the fuck are there so many DOs and would-be DOs in these threads? We already have another dude in this thread who lucked out at an HBCU for an MD.

The study must have a flawed methodology. You can't always trust the "experts". If you believe that study then you have to concede that URM doctors (who have about the same stats as DO students) are as capable as White/Asian doctors once they finish their training. Do you really believe that a nigger or a spic doctor is as capable or intelligent as a White or Asian doctor?

In that case, then the study probably didn't control for subspecialties like the Florida infant mortality study everyone shills for these days. I'll have to look at it later.
And for the record, I got a 520+ on my MCAT. My issues probably were that my science GPA was below average and I tried applying after St. George was "martyred"

You had no reason to even apply to DO unless your science GPA was something like a 2.3 or something.

Of 329 510 Medicare admissions, 253 670 (77.0%) and 75 840 (23.0%) received care from allopathic and osteopathic physicians, respectively. The results can rule out important differences in quality and costs of care between allopathic versus osteopathic physicians for patient mortality (adjusted mortality, 9.4% for allopathic physicians vs. 9.5% [reference] for osteopathic hospitalists; average marginal effect [AME], −0.1 percentage point [95% CI, −0.4 to 0.1 percentage point]; P = 0.36), readmission (15.7% vs. 15.6%; AME, 0.1 percentage point [CI, −0.4 to 0.3 percentage point; P = 0.72), LOS (4.5 vs. 4.5 days; adjusted difference, −0.001 day [CI, −0.04 to 0.04 day]; P = 0.96), and health care spending ($1004 vs. $1003; adjusted difference, $1 [CI, −$8 to $10]; P = 0.85).

Not really any specific anecdotes as I haven't started clinicals yet but just everyone's a bro and shares test questions(from last year)/answers/tries to help each other out. Never seen any weird gunner behavior or autistic shit that I commonly see here and on meddit

probably not honestly. Most DOs go into family medicine anyway and Residency is where you really learn anything not med school.
