That time I was talking with a doctor about what's wrong with me I was also reading (on accident) about folate supplements in the Oxford Clinical Handbook of Medicine and the trip caused me to revisit it, and also post here. It said that folate should/not be given alongside either niacin or vitamin B12
I know talking about supplements is not generally allowed here but can any doctors talk to me about which conditions this combination medicine wojkd treat and what the implications are in pregnancy? I'm not pregnant by the way but giving Vitamin B9 (folate) for weeks 3 thro8gh 12 of pregnancy is interesting as well as I want to talk about B9 + B12 for things like anemia
Nor am I going to waste my money on it - especially bevause I probably have too much B12!

On the other hand, I will only be getting two, 2 week breaks for the entire year which doesn't really leave me much time to go back home and visit my family.

ortho I guess but this is the worst reason to choose a specialty

As a child, I developed severe dementia and began complaining about brain damage; I was very quickly accused of being a "schizophrenic hypochondriac" and forced into enormous quantities of antipsychotics and antidepressants, which gave me erectile dysfunction and made me become extremely fat.

Eventually, my complaints about having brain damage developed into physical phenomena like POTS, a heart disease caused by brain damage.

More recently, my dysautonomia led to gastrointestinal dysfunction, and I have lost the ability to eat most foods, and it Is nearly impossible for me to gain any weight.

I was sent to a psychiatric hospital for 7 months after some dumb doctors had me framed as having a mental illness explaining my inability to gain weight or eat.

My bicep broke and I had a surgery to repair it. During the surgery the doctor fucked up and damaged my radial nerve. Now I can't train for a long time. Being fit is actually my life, there isn't today that I don't do some sort of exercising. I ride my bike and I go to the gym five times a week. I was actually known for my biceps and now I see my left arm atrophying in real time. What should I do in the next few months?

Also is anybody here a doctor? I really need to speak to somebody who understands radial nerve injuries because my doctors are really incompetent and all they do is shift the blame.

Muscle tears can also pinch/damage nerves. On what basis do you think it was the surgery?
>What should I do in the next few months?
Rest and do absolutely zero exercises that involve the damaged muscle. You don't need a doctor to tell you that, it's common knowledge to not lift with an injury period.
>but it will take month to heal fully, maybe even well over a year

When my bicep tore, I had a normal function in the hand and the arm. I could even type on a cell phone. After the operation I realized I cannot move my fingers upwards. His diagnosis was radial nerve palsy but he thought it was going to pass with time. It has been 3 weeks since my surgery and I cannot do any moves that use radial nerve except put my wrist up but my fingers still stay down.

Also the bicep didn't tear it was the tendon I don't know if that is important but they told me my bicep tore but the operation was to repair the tendon that snapped.

Uhmm ackchually very light exercise promotes recovery by increasing bloodflow to the injured area. He should absolutely try to do as much rehab exercise as possible as long as it doesnt cause any pain

I mean yeah, sure. But more often that not saying you can do light exercise as long as you don't feel pain will cause people to do not-so-light exercise that absolutely will cause pain at some point and prolong recovery. If you're doing it with a physiotherapist, or if you really can trust yourself to keep in truly light (you probably shouldn't), go ahead. Otherwise it's safer to recommend no exercise at all.

I remember seeing a WordPress article about 15 years ago of a man who did an experiment on a stretch mark of his and hw used some kind of acid or alkaline substance on a single stretch mark on his arm i think which worked its way down through the skin but not the underlying fat or muscle and then if memory serves he simply cleaned the wound and applied a bandage and let it heal. It scabbed over and what was left after was what looked like brand new scar free skin. I searched for the article but no luck, Does anyone know of a substance that could be used like he did to eat the flesh in a controlled manner? It was so long ago but I remember it looking great after, if someone could crack the mystery behind topical scar removal and healing and use it to treat stretch marks that man would be a billionaire, the stretch mark industry is worth billions annually and it's almost all ineffective

Torch plus some other library with functions for noobs will place you in good stead with ML.
Don't read books. Just set a project and finish it.
Also bonus points if you use your university's high-performance computing cluster and/or parallel computing.
People think you're a god if you self-teach this shit but it's not that hard. Just requires time and effort.

Nausea / emeneis (feeling or being sick)
Haemoptysis (from: coughing up pink sputum, I don't think it would affect thr heart more than it would be lungs)
Coma
Death

Care: supportive. Some may be prescribed oxygen
Action: chlorine gas. Also, reactive oxygen species

I think eyes wojld be less affected, but distilled water, analgesia

human medicine isn't all that advanced, but only appears to be so
if you could somehow de-age a doc that retired in 2000 or even 1990 they'd do just fine with their knowledge in terms of hard patient outcomes
progress in medicine is a fata morgana, perpetrated by big pharma and self-important academics
very few real advancements have been made
90% of betterment of patient lives and longer life expectancy is due to hygiene, diet and people not smoking
to be honest even a good vet, all they'd need is a 6 month course in humans and they'll do more or less fine working humans too

If you don't count the fact that at least 7/10 vets said that they had depression at one point in their life, the fact that a vet is 4 times more likely to attempt suicide, and the fact that 80% of veterinarians are female, I'd say I enjoy it more than med school 100%

Don't have to sit in a wet lab waiting for your assay to finish. Just sit in your comfiest chair at home and log into your uni's HPC and go to town; or even do it while on call.

in the past i have taken just 1mg of anastrozole and 50mg of clomid per week and this caused extremely severe roid rage and i had to go to the hospital for polycthemia vera.

given my history i have decided to try half a pill 3 times per week.

and might consider 1/4 a pill 3 times per week if its too strong.

it seems insane and crazy to me that people take 1 pill every day.

i chose this pill because i dont want my balls to ever shrink from doing something like taking just Mesterolone or just trenbolone.

So you're saying PhDs develop new surgical techniques on animal models? What key words are used in such a job? I have never seen a postdoc position advertising this type of research.
>I seriously can't see how someone without clear motivation and concrete problems to solve in mind could get into such a field
Why are you assuming I don't? In almost any research position you are not working on your own research ideas (unless you're the PI who wrote the grant application), so you rely on the people paying you to identify the problems to be solved. Postdocs mostly just seek out research positions that are adjacent to their expertise and involve the type of models they like working with (in vitro, in vivo, in silico, or humans).
I don't like direct human research because you're incredibly limited on what you can explore, and the doctors end up doing all of the interesting parts while you're left as a glorified data analyst.
In silico research is similarly boring in a lot of contexts, and you're left wondering if your computational models have any consistency with the real world (you'll never be the one to find out).
In vitro and in vivo (wet lab) work is by far the best because everything (within reason) is on the table. Developing surgical techniques seems like a cool field for someone who is into biology/anatomy/engineering, is spatially inclined, and likes working with their hands instead of staring at a screen all day.

You're just another autistic faggot with no direction in life. Come back when you grow the fuck up.

A couple of weeks ago I got a cold by some shit virus that gave me laryngitis. It has left me a cough from hell and nasal congestion with the formation of extremely thick and difficult to move snot. Ambroxol is doing nothing, I'm trying beclometasone inhaled and it seems it has reduced the cough a bit, but the nasal congestion is still a pain in the ass. I don't want to abuse oxymetazolin, I want this stupid snot to stop being thick as shit. Anybody knows what could work? How is it some type of viruses will give you runny noses but others like this thick nasal congestion?

Fine then. I apologize. I'm just tired of seeing stupid questions in this thread. You sound very misguided. You haven't even said you're a PhD in what or if you're still a student. Everything wherever you go is networking. I don't see how could anybody develop "surgical techniques" if you don't even know what kind of patient you want to help. Either you get in contact with surgeons who notice a problem or you become one yourself. Obviously no procedure will be performed on humans until the animal model is proven safe.

I don't know what the medicine subculture or university life is like in the US, but I don't like the idea of treating science as an industry to be exploited. At the end of the day it's about helpless people, specially surgery, it's awful when operating and causing all the harm that implies is the only resource available, and it was awful to deal with all the sociopathic fucks eager to cut people up or do risky procedures as routine, and all their bitching when their butchery line wasn't running smooth as they expected. You're coming to this with the wrong approach, some aimless ambition, and without any experience around the field or meeting the subject matter that are the patients. I really hate that kind of thinking, but I might as well just accept that a lot of people are like that.

Also I hate that this thread at the end of the day is nothing but career advice for students or people without need for help asking shit they could have googled. Either way, you're too inexperienced, and I say that in the living sense of the word.

That's like asking if not wearing your seatbelt will be bad for you. Could be you live your entire life driving everyday without one and just never get in an accident, could be you die from getting launched through the windshield at 18 years old. We don't know, it's a risk. There are lucky fucks who live to ripe old age despite being chain smokers, there are unlucky fucks who get terminal lug cancer at 40. Last i checked smoking takes about 25 years off your life expectancy on average. If you want that in exchange for thinking you look cool (you won't) then go ahead.
>I can run a 21-minute 5K
Won't stop cancer and you will lose that time quick with smoking. Not that 21 minute 5K is all that impressive, it's decent compared to the average person, but the average person is fat and can't run 5k at all. Took me like a month or two of regular running to get to that.

Can I get an infection, sepsis or whatever from getting my blood drawn?
1 is the needle and my vein, contact point...It's attached towards this transparent plastic thing where a vial goes
2 is the vial itself, NOW, what if that's dirty, bumped into something or whatever?

My blood has flow into the vial, so the vial has a flow into me, right?
What to do? Yes, I am paranoid.

Anonymous at Wed, 24 Jul 2024 14:18:05 UTC No. 16294720

1. Yeah, dirty needles can give you a localized infection or disseminated infection as they go through the skin and other tissue layers to reach the bloodstream. Hence why you can get nec fasc from injecting heroin and why needle exchange programs are so important in those drug users communities. But if they're taking it out of the package fresh as they're supposed to, it's a super low chance of infection.
2. The outside of the vial is whatever, but the inside is meant to be sterile. Even if the flow is so turbulent it somehow tries to backflow all the way back into the vein, there's a one-way valve preventing backflow in the phleb kits used in America that I've always seen

The needle was new but I am worried about the vial. It did have the one flow thing you mentioned because I had to fill 3 vials in one sitting, so in between vials the things is connected but not flowing. Nonetheless, assume worst case scenario and infection, what to do? Am I going to die?

Yes. But you first get a flebitis and fever.

It's unlikely that any of that happens and useless to worry about it. The entire disposable syringe is sterile by means of UV, the bubble of air you see formed is usually a vaccuum expanding the column of air in the needle. It's negligible.

The only thing that flows into you is the contact point of your skin. Dogs get vaccinated without cleaning the puncture site or shaving and nothing happens to them.

If you don't have problems there is nothing you can do is it? You will know there is a problem when you feel one so you have nothing to be worried for until then.

Say I got prostatitis a month ago, I took cipro and the shit gave me the ominous side effects of paresthesia and pain in many tendons. Worst case scenario was I became crippled for life from it like the rest of people in reddit, but it passed. That was a problem with absolutely no solution, your still not present problem does have solution and is to take antibiotics. Everything ends up being better than expected, specially for those who expect the absolute worst all the time.

What state are you in?
Depending on which one, just use a ticket clinic.
Pay like 100-200 and they take care of it, they have 80+% success rate depending on state and you don't even have to go to court they literally do everything for you

For most speeding what usually happens is they go to court, ask for extension, and the ticket gets thrown out by the next court date for either the cop not showing up or some other reason, or they just keep extending the date until it does get thrown out.
On the off chance cop does show up, their lawyers usually do a pretty good job defending you

My case was the officer caught me going 20 miles over the limit(in reality i was 40 miles over) 20 minutes after I got ticket I called them up, paid them, and didn't do anything or hear anything back for like a month or two and got a letter in the mail saying I won my case and nothing got on my record

This is interesting:
>While the dominant paradigm [of autism] is the pathology paradigm and is followed largely by autism research and scientific communities, the neurodiversity movement is highly popular among most autistic people, within autism advocacy, autism rights organizations
>The pathology paradigm advocates for supporting research into therapies, treatments, and/or a cure to help minimize or remove autistic traits, seeing treatment as vital to help individuals with autism, while the neurodiversity movement believes autism should be seen as a different way of being and advocates against a cure and interventions that focus on normalization... seeing it as trying to exterminate autistic people and their individuality
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Societal_and_cultural_aspects_of_autism

Perhaps people with other mental differences (depression, bipolar, OCD, etc) should also call for the world to be more accepting of people with mental differences, rather than have a situation where doctors are dictating "treatments".

Of course if somebody wants to take a medical intervention for dealing with their mental health problems, that's fine, and it should be up to them. But I really get the sense, whether it's in autism or mental health problems like depression etc, that doctors create "treatments" that are in their interests rather than in the interests of patients. Doctors will claim over and over that they care about patients. But history proves otherwise. Whether it's lobotomies, or deaths from antipsychotics when they were first discovered (e.g. clozapine), or sodium valproate being given to young women without warning them that valproate causes birth defects (research showed this a long time ago, but prescriptions continued).

TLDR - doctors will never care about patients. I think it's cool that some people with autism have decided to stand up for themselves, and maybe patients in other areas of medicine should too.

The reason these conditions are called diseases are because they are incompatible with society. The only reason a person goes to the doctor about a problem is because the problem is hindering function in society.

Those acceptance movements are nonsense. As human rights are universal and technology progresses dysgenics will only keep increasing. It's not possible to sustain the entire dysgenic population.

Those pathologies are a tragedy and prove to be costly personal challenges to their families, they end up feeling relief along the grief once they die. It's a cursed existence.

>depression, bipolar, ocd
Those people suffer anon. It's not an environment problem. Depressed people are incapable of feeling happiness. Bipolar people become psychotic and harm others or themselves. OCD suffers from exaggerated ideas that make them feel constant threats. It's unethical to deny them treatment or brainwash them into thinking treatment is harmful.

>doctors never care about patients
Doctors give a service, it's you who are supposed to care for your sick relative or yourself. The service of the doctor is to attempt to return you to functionality. The doctors who do care end up suffering from knowing the limits of medicine do little for the patients, it's not possible to do more.

What about when doctors lock up people against their will - this of course happens in the area of mental health.

Also, even if someone goes to the doctor voluntarily, they would hope for a treatment that is in their interests, rather than a treatment which is actually in the doctor's interests.

>Those acceptance movements are nonsense
Absolutely not. If you happened to be born with some genetic brain differences, you would want to stand up for yourself too.

>Depressed people are incapable of feeling happiness
This is quite obviously nonsense. That's like saying "a hungry person is incapable of feeling full". Obviously they're not - they just need to eat some food.

>The service of the doctor is to attempt to return you to functionality
The service of the doctor is to profit from misery. Okay perhaps this is not fair for many kinds of doctors. Many doctors do genuinely good work. But there are definitely doctors who are simply trying to profit from people's misery, especially in countries like the US where healthcare is largely provided by for-profit companies.

Regarding mental health treatment, I think doctors are often not concerned with what the patient wants (even if their wants are perfectly legitimate and legal, etc). Perhaps it is too often about producing an outcome that is desirable for the doctor, rather than desirable for the patient.

They are brought in by their caretakers who don't see it feasible anymore to care for them, or by cops who may choose to execute them instead. Those patients are psychotic, their survival instinct is abolished and are attempting to kill themselves, are being violent and damage property or hurt people, or they have stopped eating. There have been antipsychiatry movements before and the result was these patients dying in the streets or in prison.

>genetic brain differences
Nobody is discriminating these people. They are not functional and it's not anybody's responsibility to accomodate for them.

>obviously nonsense
It's the definition of being depressed. Have you ever worked in psychiatry? Have you met these people? I have. I have a functional type of depression as well. You are too naive and self-centered to assume you know more from a funny sounding idealistic thought than the experience of people who work on this.

I know you're that same retard always talking about these same points.

Food for thought:
These people are allowed to exist in this way because of the welfare state.
In a normal society, these people would not be able to earn a wage to feed themselves because they are deficit (hence it is a pathology). Being able to work to sustain yourself is part of being HEALTHY (i.e. bodily autonomy/homeostasis). Much like how you wouldn't consider someone being kept alive via ventilator or ECMO isn't healthy, so too the person who relies on the state to live is not healthy.
Because of the incentive structure of the welfare state, these individuals realise they can grift off of their pathology. Thus, the neurodiversity movement, which "embraces" their pathology. Given the psychological association, this encourages further pathology in society. It is absolutely anti-social in every conceivable way.

The only real problem with opioids is constipation, just don't get addicted to it lol. Besides, people already take Tylenol/Advil before coming in - you think that we don't have the analgesic ladder for a reason? If you told them to handle the pain and keep going with the Tylenol or Advil, they would either eat too much to control the pain or bitch about it enough to sue us for not treating them effectively.

no, murricans will start you on ibuprofen, pantoprazol, paracetamol, opioids and a laxative, treat you for months and then devise a shitty tapering plan and also run a few pointless scans before also diagnosing you with comorbid depression and starting you on some shitty antidepressant but oh wait you get agitated so let's get some benzoes in there until you get used to your antidepressant but it's not enough so let's put you one some seroquel for sleep issues also relating to your pain

hi /med/
i was feeling my balls today and i guess i noticed that the area above my left testicle (like above the testes) feels a bit like a clump of spaghetti. Its a bit squishier than the testes and isn't smooth (like goopy spaghetti). Ive never noticed this before.

Is that how it should feel? When you guys feel up your patients (or your own balls) what abnormalities are you looking for? I can't feel any hard lumps anywhere or anything and I don't have any noticeable pain.

OK, so the pressure on the venous side of the circulatory system is 8-10x less than the pressure on the arterial side. How does this make any sense? wouldn't that mean that the heart is receiving less blood than it is pumping out? is it magic? are veins just bigger so the flow is the same but pressure is lower?

Hello /sci/.
This looks like a shitpost but it's not.

I noticed several times in the past that I have a heightened smell sense when cooming, for a few seconds.
I had coffee one hour ago, recently coomed and I could smell the coffee from my own breath for a few seconds, it was weird.

What's the science behind this? I recall reading somewhere that it could be adrenaline but I thought that molecule actually diminished senses.

capillaries are constantly drawing gases and materials from blood. The venous system has numerous valves, they can dilate and accommodate for extra volume, in particular the ones inside the skull are working against gravity, the muscles in the right side of the heart are smaller than the ones in the left side (protects lung circulation), left side also has to deal with systemic resistance.

yet most doctors would call you unempathetic for saying that or for not 'helping' them and doing a 100 meaningless interventions and screenings 'to make sure'
idk how many times i hear 'well, juts because he has this and that adverse behavior doesn't mean we need to discriminate the person - we still need to offer the best care' with which i agree with but
1) most stuff we can offer is basically a fart in the wind in such a person you describe
2) saying the patient has major responsibility for his situation (if it applies) is not the same as treating them worse/differently

it goes back to the point about doctors being egomaniacs that think they're so important they can change the course of a difficult life just by being fake nice or something

Recreational use of the anabolic trenbolone intravenously?

https://www.steroid.com/Methyltrienolone.php

So, where I live, anabolic androgenic steroids are not a crime to possess; however, recreational drugs like Ritalin or Klonopin would have me charged with possession, and I could be sentenced to years in prison.

The strongest anabolic available, methyl-trenbolone is an attractive choice because it has a very short half-life and possesses stimulant amphetamine-like properties which have some people comparing it to meth.

I plan to inject 1mg intravenously before playing Vidya to see if it has any recreational value.

Most people inject it into either muscle or fat tissue; would it even be safe to inject intravenously like heroin or something?

i already know it is harmful to the liver and plan to use it only once per week in combination with daily NAC a medication used by doctors to treat liver damage.

what could go wrong if I inject methyl-trenbolone intravenously?

I don't know if it's 'most' doctors but it's definitely fashionable nowadays in medical education to try and recruit students who are compassionate and empathetic and big gay etc. etc.
I would push back against that by saying I am very capable of imagining what it's like being in patients' situations (i.e. I am "empathetic"), I just kind of don't give a fuck. If I'm meeting the standard of care and doing right by the patient in diagnosis and giving them their treatment options, it's otherwise really not my problem.

That said, someone going far lengths to look stupid most likely already realized about it and is joking past that point. There's no helping them further than saying they shouldn't do stuff which they know they shouldn't do, there's no way to stop them.

Tobacco/nicotine is fairly common among shrinks though, at least at my place. I knew a couple of seniors personally who used pouches all the time.

Common, over the counter painkillers never really worked on me. Paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, etc., mom would give me all of these when i was a kid and having a headache and such, no effect whatsoever. I just gave up on painkillers at some point, not a big deal honestly, mild pain isn't that bad. Is this normal?

This is discouraged but trannies transitioning is okay? You are a dirty kike. This is why no one should take doctors seriously.

>Take the guy "trying smoking" as an example.
I actually tried cigarettes a couple of days ago. You guys said I would get addicted! The first one didn't feel great and I tried another but it just didn't click. At the very least, now my curiosity about what smoking is like has been satiated. I guess I'm going to live my normal life from now on.

You are right except that literally everyone says that even a small overdose of paracetamol is very harmful to the liver.

Because the process of getting their degree from medical schools is long and hard. Medical doctors also larp as scientists even though they most of them are not scientists at all.

Are they? The money to time/effort ratio of a career in medicine is actually pretty shit. You can make way more money pursuing a much easier and shorter education. You have to be somewhat selfless to choose medicine, no matter how you slice it.

Passing tests and real learning are two different things.
You pass tests by analizying question format and high yield topics from qbanks. You learn from actually facing the necessity of treating something and knowing what can go wrong. Things can go wrong from both disease and the treatment. Being a good medic ends up being challenging and bothersome, passing tests is easy.

Also, don't let patients run their mouths, specially psych ones, they never shut up. Ask precisely what you need to diagnose and always start with "Out of all you're feeling right now, what bothers you the MOST". Lots of idiots just as "hurr how can i help u? why do you come?"

People like to see a doctor who goes straight to the point and makes them waste the least time.
