It was very interesting to see how the residents and attendings in the peds ER reacted to a kid coming in after getting shot by a cop for the capital offense of driving while black. Complete disgust before the cops came and pushing them out of the trauma eval room after the patient showed up

I've been looking in the MD/PHD process and having a hard time understanding what the advantage is job wise. Getting a standard 80/20 split has been very difficult since the 90's, and it's improbable to start up your own lab without having more than 70% protected time. So what exactly do MD PHDS do if they fail to get a grant and start up their own research lab? Do they go 100% clinical, and if not what does a 50% and below research output look like? Is the whole thing just a scam like regular academia?

I think the idea is that by the time you graduate residency you have such a strong network in your field of research that you will never really struggle to get started with independent research and grant writing - there are always spots at the big institutions, especially if you stay where you are
The real cuckolding factor is the time sink, imagine almost being 40 by the time that you're done with residency (if you are doing any subspecialty residencies or fellowships like these MDPHDs always end up doing). Beyond grim

I don't understand what your point is. Literally everyone in medicine except attendings is under supervision of their seniors. You don't get to practice a procedure you've never done before without a senior making sure you don't kill the patient. The only exception to this would be emergencies.
Look Anon you can read all you want, you're not learning how to do procedures without actually doing procedures under supervision. You might as well be asking if you can learn to box by just watching youtube videos but never hitting a bag, let alone sparring. No, you can't.
>inb4 but what about specs that don't involve any procedures!

The mass media controlled by gchqueer, are calling brain rot tiktok/social media addiction.
However the term was originally used to describe polyamory enduced psychosis, however gchq didn't like that, because without polyamory there wouldn't be an easy to manipulate herd of live stock who a very insecure due to low self esteem and are easily controlled by the mass media with fads and latest manufactured trends, all organised in advanced with gchqs mass media and illegal surveillance.

there's more to look for than just central vision... if they don't find anything in the eye then they'll just refer you to your PCP to get bloodwork or other shit checked. if you start with your PCP, theyll probably refer you to optometry/ophthalmology at some point anyway so you can start with either.

If the system actually allowed for MDs to have this sort of lateral mobility I’d do it in a heartbeat, but they treat us like shit and prop nursoids up on a silver platter. The idea of being limited to doing one single thing for the rest of your life has never sat right with me.

I hope you realize these restraints are in place to optimize healthcare by systematically scaling the intelligence of the physician population. People don’t become neurosurgeons for fun and we don’t just let anyone fresh out of the degree-mill handle someone’s spine or heart because they want to. Med school is not as much of an education as it is a grand filter in determining who out there can handle the most risk, of which IQ is the best indicator

Context: anon is pointing out how some people go to undergrad, medical school, and anesthesia residency (12 years total, 8 years advanced training) only to find their jobs are being taken by CRNAs who have a fraction of their education, experience, and training just because its cheaper to hire them. It is dangerous for patients and only serves to save money for insurance companies and hospitals

Sorry for a question like this but I'm on vyvanse for ADHD and my psychiatrist wants to start me on long term benzos for insomnia. I've had insomnia for years, tried a lot of different meds and cbti, but doesn't this seem like kind of a bad idea? I've previously been on low dose Temazepam and lorazepam and I think the lorazepam tended to help more, but still, isn't it like a death sentence once I get to 65?

If I were you, I'd ask the EKG techs in your area if anyone they work with went that path. If its something you really wanna do, then it's important to recognize that credentialing can really matter when it comes to hiring. Maybe it doesn't so much for EKG techs, but you don't know until you ask. You could even try asking recruiters at hospitals.

You've never seen an intact penis in your life, your rabbi lied to you about smegma. The glands of the penile foreskin keep the penis naturally clean.
And genitally mutilated males are more than twice as likely to suffer from premature ejaculation as genitally-intact males. This is because the nerves in the ridged band on the upper part of the foreskin regulate ejaculation, as well as contributing to the erogenousity of the foreskin. It's absolutely illogical to think that pleasurable sensations cause premature ejaculation. Sex is supposed yo be pleasurable, and the nerves of the foreskin both create pleasure and regulate ejaculation to prevent premature ejaculation.

I was subjected to involuntary psychiatry too, it was pretty shit.
"Oh you're at a bad spot in life? Let's make it even worse by locking you up and forcibly drugging you."
Antipsychotics made me feel worse. I had weird side effects. Extrapyramidal symptoms (problems with movement) are known to be side effects of antipsychotics. My muscles got stiff, my eyes went weird (oculogyric crisis, a known effect). I remember sitting in a chair and twisting my neck repeatedly, and I had no idea why I was doing it. I guess I thought I was stressing out at the situation of being locked up. But actually it was probably the drug giving me extrapyramidal symptoms.
I guess I will just do my best to move past it. What else can you do? And I try to avoid being sent back to mental hospital purely because I don't want shitty side effects that might be affecting my brain and body in unknown ways.

You should be brushing before breakfast first thing in the morning, brushing after is feeding all the bacteria that built up overnight, not to mention brushing after eating without waiting 30-60 minutes can damage enamel if you had anything acidic to eat/drink, like juice, coffee, fruit, etc. In the same way you brush right before sleep, not straight after dinner.
>I heard Japan uses something else that's superior
Superior for what? Sounds like the typical case of

to me. You know your toothpaste is acceptable if your dentist is telling you there are no issues on your routine checkups. Don't be a fucking toothpaste gearqueer, being a gearqueer is already gay as fuck, but being a gearqueer about toothpaste is dangerously close to terminal homo levels usually only found in knife gearfaggotry.

Then it's fine, but you're still better off not letting overnight bacteria that has been busy making plaque for the last 8 hours or so keep it going for another half an hour. You want to dislodge it asap.
Still at the end of the day, if you're fine during your routine checkups, it's fine. Consistency and actually brushing all surfaces is what people typically struggle with. If your dentist didn't offer it, ask them if they can dye your teeth with a plaque gel so you know which areas you don't brush well enough.

Yeah that's good, because they are significantly better at displacing plaque than regular brushes are. It only becomes gearfaggotry when you need to have the most expensive brush on the market with a bunch of features no one actually cares about.
>>16598337
>I guess a bit of calculus is normal?
A bit is fine. You should start flossing if you aren't, even one flossing per day before sleep is displaces a lot of it.
Brushing twice and flossing once plus a yearly visit with sanding/scaling/fluoridation is pretty much the golden standard of dental hygiene.

Maybe the problem of psychiatry is that it doesn't seek to understand why a person is exhibiting certain behaviour. Instead it just says "oh that behaviour is a symptom and I can reduce that symptom with this drug".
It can pacify a patient for a while, but it doesn't help them understand their own emotional history that might be contributing to their behaviour.

Every time I look it up, whether my specific location or general information, ALL of my search results are for "donate plasma".
Yet people keep talking about making good money selling plasma, but no matter what search term I use all I get is "donate".
Is donate a euphemism and they will still pay me?
I know they don't pay me when I go into normal donation centers or those terrible blood draw vans for regular blood.
Do you always get paid to "donate" plasma specifically or do some place just take it for free and others use the euphemism but still pay you?

Give the average mental/emotional issues person a psychologist (or just any person who exercises a capability for objective reasoning) to talk to and they'll 9 out of 10 times just get mad and behave worse when told what's wrong with them or what they're fucking up, no matter how nicely.

That doesn't make the field any less of an unscientfic mess, it just reinforces the point. They have no idea what is wrong with people, they have no idea how to figure it out, all they can do is throw shit at the wall in the form of poorly understood drugs and hope it sticks.

Sorry for a psych patient question but if I have a daughter and I don't beat her, abuse her, shout at her or anything, will she still develop bpd if I have it? I really don't want to pass it on.

Evidence suggests that bpd is primarily associated with childhood trauma and poor parenting.
It's not enough to not be bad, you have to also be good. Go to DBT, learn to parent.

Fair enough. Sorry to hear about the attempt. If you think it helped then that's a good thing, but I think for a lot of people it doesn't help. I've seen patients who just end up trapped by the system for fucking years.
And where you said "I guess if I was schizophrenic I might have a different view" - it sounds like what you mean is that people who dislike psychiatry must be schizophrenic. But maybe you don't mean that.

I am getting cold feet about vascular surgery, pun intended. I am quickly realizing that I excel most in clinics, because I suck ass at anticipating in the OR and the endless pontification over dressings and opening up planes is quickly losing the novelty now that I actually know the anatomy (compared to premed when I was oohing and aahing). I also was working for 16 hours today (like actually being made to work work in the OR and getting pimped all the while)
Every surgery attending has been praising my store of knowledge, some are even saying I'm performing at the level of an intern, but I just don't see it.
Should I just switch to IM? MS2 right now for reference, and we have early rotations. I enjoyed medicine clinic and rounding inpatient just as much as surgery clinic or the OR, and cardiology would still give me a route down the road if I still want to do IC endovascular stuff without needing to commit right now.

Fair enough. I've actually seen schizophrenic patients who were fine with psychiatry - one guy was diagnosed with schizophrenia and he was on clozapine, and he said it was alright. He didn't mind the drug, despite the downsides.
Then I saw other patients (including those diagnosed with schizophrenia) who disliked psychiatry.
Maybe one day humans will realise that distress is often caused by life events. Maybe humans will be a bit more understanding and a bit less inclined to just drug distressed people.

No. I was just talking to a fellow psych patient.
I assume what you're getting at is that schizophrenia is thought to have (at least partially) a genetic basis. It may well be partly genetic but from what I understand, genetics aren't destiny when it comes to schizophrenia - apparently environment factors are important too.
It's all so fucking stupid really, doctors seem to be pretty limited in what they actually know. Which genes are most likely to bring about schizophrenia? Dunno. Does a particular patient have those genes? Dunno. How do those genes contribute to schizophrenia? Dunno.

I'm definitely pro-science but psychiatry just annoys me because all the drugs they give you have shitty side effects.
And doctors, in my experience, often don't want to admit the side effects. I've looked at science papers about some of these side effects, and I mentioned them to a couple of doctors, and they're like "oh don't worry about that". But it says this stuff right in the fucking papers.

So this is the power of med school, it turns people into imbecile overconfident doctors who think they know everything.
Some of you need professional help with your delusions of grandeur, almost every single doctor is like this.
Somehow I've never met an overconfident psychiatrist though.
Maybe studying the mentally ill made them aware of their own delusions before it was too late.

Except the "actual treatments" only delay it by a few months, maybe a year or two if you're really lucky.
That's not a treatment for aging, that's a fucking scam.
It's like saying you have a treatment for a certain type of cancer, but it only extends your life expectancy by a month or two and makes you feel like shit. It's not worth it.

Untrue and there's more to anti-aging than just extending the lifespan. You're moving the goalposts.
>That's not a treatment for aging, that's a fucking scam.
You're moving the goalposts again. The original claim was that treatments for aging haven't been found. The new claim is that they have been found, but you're not satisfied.
>It's like saying you have a treatment for a certain type of cancer, but it only extends your life expectancy by a month or two and makes you feel like shit. It's not worth it.
Untrue. Whether a few more months of life in exchange for lower quality of life is worth is subjective, but people do make that choice often enough.
>Yeah right, because the retards injecting fat into their face and taking a cocktail of questionable drugs every day are actually the smart ones...
Strawman.

It's about being a giga-autist with toxicology, because they are a real mixed bag on safety. For example, I'm on more stuff than Bryan Johnson, but never touched Rapamycin or DWS's protocol yet. Meclizine is a much safer mTORC1 inhibitor than Rapamycin.

I have issues with the way ADHD clinics work. They should be looking at historical data to ensure it existed before 12 and interviewing parents as well. But even here (not in the US) there's shitty online clinics that undermine the process.
Vyvanse imo is the best ADHD med for a few reasons
-amphetamine has a pretty short half life, but vyvanse is rate limited by how slow it metabolises into sex amphetamine (blood cleaves the lysine from it at a set rate), so it lasts way longer. it also has a slow onset and offset because of this so there's less crash and jitteriness associated with it. you also don't have to redose or use shitty xr versions during the day.
-compared to methylphenidate, amphetamines have a stronger effect and work in two ways. they cause more dopa and ne release but they also stop their reuptake unlike methylphenidate which is only a reuptake inhibitor
it also has less abuse potential because of its metabolism method (can't be taken anyway except swallowing and caps out at a certain point)
also these ADHD "clinics" are fucking shit and never explore non stims because they're just pill mills
