Remember Sherlock: ‘My mind,’ he said, ‘rebels at stagnation. Give me prob￾lems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most in￾tricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then
with artifi cial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for
mental exaltation. That is why I have chosen my own particular profession, -
or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world.’
>The Sign of the Four, Arthur Conan Doyle, 1890.

No, Sherlock, you are not; you have the infectious disease physicians for company.

Same. The first boobies I've touched were from a cadaver, bro.

Do you guys reckon if I sleep around with staff it will affect my career?

Hello anons. I am a turd worlder med student who happens to be SPD/Autist. In typical turd world fashion, the med schools take in 5 times the students it can handle with the result that only the ones with charm/connection/bootlicking learn the skills to be a competent doctor. I will never be one of them because of my mental illness and will have to look at a different line of work after med school/basic training(you can be a GP here without a residency/MD). At this point I forgot why I typed this up because I'm pretty sure none of you guys have any useful advice for me, but I will post this just cause.

>>16451915
Typical turd worlder: gives up before he's even had a go.

>>16451934
But I did have a go. The charmers in my school have delivered babies and stitched up incisions and done proctoscopies while I havent even gotten the oppurtunity to learn how to put an iv cannula, despite having better scores than most and always being on time and doing every piece of curriculum work with as much diligence as I can muster. All this just because I cannot suck up to the residents/consultants or make small talk or whatever it is what the normies do to manipulate each other.

>>16452046
That happens everywhere. My advice is embracing social alcoholism.

>>16452186
Me dad was a social drinker (and obese) and he got cirrhosis out of nowhere (didnt find out till one day he was vomiting up blood). I think I will stay away from the booze. Besides turd worlders cannot metabolise alcohol like you white people do.

I'm an intern, finishing in 2 months but hopefully leaving clinical medicine after that because I can't do this shit no more.

My mom's "tingling" feet and fingers have now evolved into an obvious twitching and dizziness. She keeps scratching her arm and poking it because she thinks the dog keeps touching her abdomen. The dizziness and confusion have become noticeably worse over the past week, she thinks she has the flu so she stopped driving. She spends most of her time in a chair watching TV, sleeping, or eating KFC. Moderate incontinence. Does this sound like a major problem?

>>16453252

>>16453268
Yes. She should see a doctor, Anon.
At best, vitamin deficiency like thiamine or B12 or electrolyte derangement.
At worst, stroke or dementia-related (assuming she's old). Ask the neuro resident lel.

>>16453284
not too much, depends on what i'm doing that day but yes headache is a common complaint
there's people who work headache clinics and all they do is headache which itself sounds like a headache to be frank

>>16451457
You do have more free time than you think and there are other med students in the same boat. I know, it sounds cliche, but most medical folks tend to date other medical folks because they're the only ones that "understand" and have similarly wacky schedules.

That being said, lots of people get married and even have kids while in Med School. Where there's a Will, there's way. It's actually when you'll have relative peace and quiet. Trying to do those during Residency is Hell for you and everyone around you who you are inconveniencing.

>>16453252

This will NEVER end, Anon :/ No different than being a mechanic, or contractor. Any time you bring it up in Public, someone will say "Hey, can you take a look at.....?", "Why do you guys always....?", "I don't trust your kind.....".

You can't do anything about friends and family, but don't bring it up when you're out and about unless you have to, then just say "Healthcare", that usually sounds boring enough to get folks to leave you alone.

>>16452782
Trick question. You’re a midwit either way.

>>16453268
Is she (pre) diabetic? Could be peripheral neuropathy, which is not good, but can be improved upon with physical therapy, exercise and the like, assuming she would do those in the first place.

The diminished mental faculty and dizziness may be due to lack of oxygen to the brain. This can happen from being too sedentary, or for any number of cardio-pulmonary reasons. The problem is that the worse she feels, the less she will want to move, which will only make things worth.

Check to see if there is any history of neuro disease in the family; Alzheimer's, dementia, etc...? If so, then there could be contribution factors other than poor lifestyle.

If you can get her to a doc, even a GP, they can get a blood oxygen level (should be above 95%, but 98/99% is best), as well as her blood pressure and test her balance and reflexes using a light pen/hammer, etc..., This will at least tell you if she's in the "normal" ranges, if not, then you can proceed accordingly.

Anything "neuro" you want to get on ASAP b/c we can't really "fix" or restore function once it's lost, but a little basic info will go a long way and won't require going to any sort of "specialist" initially. A good old fashioned "check up"/physical will tell you a lot.

I thought surgery was tiresome and has you standing for multiple hours. Not that I would really know. What do you like about it

>>16454665
Hmmm not really. The focus has just shifted. Previously emphasis was more on clinical skills and examination, but now it's more on investigations and management.

>>16454700
which was a huge mistake, but not a coincidence
management and investigations currently are so much more involved and complicated with guidelines that are ever expanding, yet patient outcomes are maybe only slightly better if at all
we do so much meaningless junk, it's insane to me
hey, but as long as the public sector and the patients get their money sapped to pay for meaningless interventions
and as long as we can churn out cheap NP's and the like that just follow an algorithm without any clinical skills
and as long as big pharma makes money off useless drugs
hey, it all makes sense i guess

Yesterday I performed an epidural on a 6 year old. It wasn't successful so I slammed a laryngeal mask and then cried to myself at the corner of the OR.

Everyone gets "really good grades", Anon. No one cares. They want to see that you are a "go getter" and "eager to learn". It's NOT their job to beg you to participate, or to give a cookie to every kids so nobody cries. Grow up. Take your profession seriously and get involved. You need to learn to be assertive and confident NOW, not when you're seeing your first patients alone in an office.

Quit yer bitchin' and get in the game. You can learn to suture like a badass just using pig bellies. I've taught many a med student and resident to be as good as their instructors. It's not hard, you just have to practice and if you show with a few "cool" knots and closures under your belt, you will get major props from your peers and proctors. You can get suture kits on Amazon for $20, your hospital will give you all the blades and sutures you need and any grocery store butcher has pig skin, bellies or feet.

No excuses.

4th year isn't so bad and mostly just job hunting. Better to get it over with. There is never going to be a "relaxed pace" once you get in the real world, so there' no sense in getting used to one in school.

>>16454665
Not really. All the old/bad info is done away with and all the "basics" you learn in Medical School have stayed surprisingly common for decades, if not hundreds of years.

You learn your specialty and "how to be a doctor" in residency. Med School is just for learning all of the lingo, the Top 200 diseases and the drugs to treat them combined with clerkships to see what specialty you might want to go into, but the basics of setting bones, birthing babies, taking histories and performing physicals hasn't changed much over the years.

>>16454697
You get to "Fix" things in surgery, which is much more satisfying imo than throwing pills at a problem and hoping for the best. You also learn most of the medical side of things in addition to all the "coo" surgical/anatomical stuff, which you just have to have a natural interest in, I suppose.

in other countries, med school is 6 years (no undergrad)

>>16454665
>medical school is harder than it is in the past since there's more material covered

med school used to be mandatory attendance and anatomy was far, far more important. some med schools these days dont even have cadaver lab and/or have multiple choice practicals. also, no quizlet/anki/online resources. just books

the rat race for getting your specialty of choice is much harder now though

Did your med school treat your entire final year as basically an unpaid internship where you work full days + overtime seeing patients and doing ward work alongside the doctors, and you also have no more lectures except for semi-informal tutorials during the working day but still have to write both theoretical and practical exams?
I want to know if this is only a thing in my country or not.

My attending just told a 400 lb retard to start drinking three cokes a day to spike her a1c high enough to get Medicaid to pay for a GLP-1 agonist. This shit is so fucking stupid.

>>16456271
kek that's funny as fuck

>>16456271
Attending told off this chronic pancreatitis s/p total panc patient few days ago for being addicted to opioids and finally discharged them with low-dose tramadol and just told them to do Tylenol/Advil as primary for pain. All labs totally stable, they had just been sitting on PO painkillers just complaining of unchanging epigastric pain for days (despite the entire point of the total panc being to wean them off the painkillers for the pancreatitis)

Fast-forward to the next day, pt bounces back having forced themselves into DKA and gets right back on Dilaudid drip... Definitely most interesting story of med school so far

Why are med people so 2dimensional and shallow? No one has hobbies other than traveling and food, there are no fun conversations to be had. I've had tons of friends before but med school was mega alienating, everyone is this psychopath without any interests, it's so demotivating

Got an A+ in medical physiology and the doc offered me a spot in her anatomy class that learns through cadaver dissection. Will something like this make me competitive for med school if I have cadaver experience?

>>16459156
I don't think the dissection experience itself will lend much to getting into med school, but it's good on your CV because it shows you're keen and intelligent. Try to get a job as a prosector and you'll be miles ahead with hand coordination for surgery.

>>16457738

It's massive time sink when in school/res., and what little time you do have you have to actually get real world shit done, or sped it with your SO, or just fucking sleep.

Docs tend to be "Type A", so they have hobbies are literally athletic (tennis, gym, golf, etc...). They can kill two birds with one stone that way by getting some exercise, "networking" with bros and having fun.

Plus, once you start making a bit of money and have financial security becoming a "business person" is a lot more feasible and interesting, even fun. After about 10 years, you make more off investments than salary, so your interests become more business oriented, as well. It can be "fun" to "play" in real estate/stocks when you have a bit of "f-you" money. Not to mention the fact that you have to educate yourself on how money really works, or you'll lose it all to taxes.

They do the "fun", but it's big kid, big money, "competitive" fun. These were the straight A's in EVERY class since Middle School kids. They're not really into "frivolity" so much as achievement and pushing themselves to reach a "Goal". I mean, tons people pay lots of money to climb Mt. Everest b/c they think it's "fun" too.

>>16459156
Not really, simply b/c other kids don't have access to it, so it's a bit "unfair", but ABSOLUTELY TAKE THE CLASS!!!!


A&P is super awesome and you will learn more in one semester of that class than 3-4 of most others. By the time you get to Med School, you'll likely be able to help lead disection in the Cadaver lab and they may ask you to help with prosections of limbs and things like that for closer study. This is also a good time to find out if you're squeamish, or not.

The class can only help and will give you a bit of a leg up on others. Nothing earth shattering, but it can't hurt and it will show you're and eager beaver. You're likely to meet other cool nerdlings too.

So I have no friends in my school. I can't even cope with being an academic rockstar since I'm also in the bottom quartile. Help me, bros.

>>16459350
Find them outside of school. Idk, find some hobby groups (I know, normie reddit advice), reconnect with old friends if you had someone worthwhile, hell even d*scord or 4chan can be okay. Med people are very status-oriented and their friendships are shallow. Most conversations are small talk and superficial shit. What can I say, medicine rarely attracts down to earth, interesting people. Maybe try talking to someone who looks like an outcast too

Does anyone know of a way to cure gastritis? I've been suffering from it for about 18 months. It feels like someone ripped a piece of my back off and it's permanently raw and in pain every time I move. Biopsy was negative for H. pylori.Tried the following:
- PPIs: worsened my pain
- sucralfate: same as above
- changing my diet: still working through it, no improvements observed
- sulphoraphane: leaves me in pain for up to 3 days at a time
- L-glutamine: no effect
I've tried loads of supplements to varying degrees of failure. I've seen some people suggest ivermectin (not sure why) but I can't even get it because third world country + nanny state is my curse to bear.

Last time I felt anything close to recovery was a year ago when my old GP prescribed me about 6 days' worth cimetidine. I asked him for more, he said, "No, it's not good for you. Take omeprazole instead." Hurt me like you wouldn't believe.

Gonna go see another gastroenterologist this week. Any suggestions on what I should ask him so I find out how to fix this? Also, any ideas on what to do besides? I just woke up one day with this illness after taking some nsaids once and I've never healed. Please help me.

another national optometry test in 1month and, oh man, i havent been motivated to study. i still manage to study some, but not as much as i should.

Because DSM is pure, cultish bullshit. It really is. Psychiatry and Psychology are only quasi-scientific and depend on verbal definitons as much as chemical ones, which means they aren't doing "medicine"/"science" at all.

Remember when gay and trans were the tell-tale sign of being "Psycho"? Now, you're "crazy" if you AREN'T psycho.

Unless they have a gene, or lab result to prove their case molecularly, they have no proof at all.

hello my medical friends

>>16463221
yo, listen to this jam.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k85mRPqvMbE

on outer int, they are having a discussion about "repairing the mitochondria" and someone brought up transplants from animals, which made me think about the times when they used to try blood transfusions to humans but from animals, before. and they would try to do it in different ways, like with fresh blood, because they thought that was the issue. they also tried it with a few other species other than dogs and something like a cow or lamb. they gave the blood at room temp, but whats interesting was, how, they used a sort of saline to give IV fluids and hydration even in those days 300 years ago

>>16463222
im listening to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuM15F_NqB8
crazy frog is based though
its interesting how they used the low pitch noise, which i think is also slower. this is because the human brain wants to try to slow down for low pitch (or more like how it wants to speed up for high pitches). i dont want to talk about it, though, because its about music and not medicine. good song though

thats how the song gives its "aura"
there was another term for the spirit inside of us but for the body and not head, too. that would of been good for people to have known

Monday i saw a bunch of sexy lawyers for 2 hours, and sat and looked at them walk around which to me was them being completely random as i wasnt a part of it. i passed a room where the NHS was doing something there, but it was for more like the "mental health" i guess
i didnt go to the room on the first pass and when i went back there later i couldnt find the room which probably had shut its doors, but i wanted to talk to them to ask if i could help

>NHS
what does hockey have to do with /med/?

i liked both the lawyer men and women. there was a woman there who looked like a bimbo but obviously she was very smart. there was another which had wide bottom trousers on, and they went over her shoes to the floor and hid her feets from me (not that i like feet). with her cloak on she looked beautiful. and another one who kept going past me only if i was looking (with her being there every day, and all of them probably talking, me being the weirdo guy) over and over, and walking really close to me
there was this male lawyer with nice eyes. he looked like a layer - LOOKED like one! his eyes were like that of a hawks. and he actually sat next to me! there were open chairs, and he walked outside, as he was between tasks, and ACTUALLY sat next to me while he was on the phone, and put his arm on the bench backplate stretched out to me with his legs crossed i mean one crossed over the other

>>16463229
i mean the National Health Service. they were doing some sort of aid for people where they didnt treat illnesses or disease but worries, and i didnt go there at first. i did try the second time because one of the MCAT books is now that mentul elf thing

and an update on the psychotherapist thing: they read my BMI (my height and weight), which i think is to do with them sneakily (everything psychologists do is sneaky) looking for a start to titration. i mention it because at that point i was *basically* fasting as i couldnt afford to eat food. i was slightly drunk though (not 500ml of vodka but half of a bottle of the big ones)
its fun because i think that frame of reference for him helped, because it is alcohol, and he could see my reaction to it. Robbie Williams says that "everyone is a functional drunk" however and i just like to walk into dangerous things. i still dont think its too bad - if you have a job - to work for 2 hours, come home and have a little bit of spirits every night. i used 1L as a frame of reference but you wouldnt have to drink that much. it wouldnt be so bad to come home from a job and buy a bottle of alcohol every day

i dont think that its too fair to look at my BMI for my metabolism and trying to gauge what sort of effect the drug will have on me, for how long, and what is a safe dose. it doesnt matter how much - or how little - i eat, i will remain the same weight. also i can eat A LOT of food in one sitting, probably more than you can. i think i cap out at around a half a pound of red meat and a pizza - or 3/4 a 16 or 18 inch pizza
doctor mike has made a video in the past about the flaws of BMI and its inaccuracies for when muscle is factored in, but the psychiatrist mentioned muscle wastage. the result that well i saw - losing a bit of a belly pouch and other negative body-image things, could of been what came out of my head translating the result from a loss of muscle to me being more satisfied
a lot of doctors on YouTube (my only point of reference outside of my country) have trained their arms a lot, and seem proud of it. they recognize the health (and mind) benefits of working out, and i feel as though a lot of them went to the arms straight away, and worked on them, became proud of the results, and gained a more positive body-image

one thing also is - and i didnt say, just in case someone is watching, and would think id do it and that would then ruin my chances of getting actual help where i can get something that makes me me "more here," able to do things, be more solid and not weighted down - is that it would be fun to have a gf, put diazepines on my tounge, so that they melt, and then spit the goo and my spit into her mouth
i bet it would be more readily absorbed and more bio-active, as well as being without any extended release they put in there
i just think that it would be hot to spit in their mouth when one of those have dissolved into it already

i took a blood pressure tablet which someone gave to me randomly
i felt much more at ease and my nose started running
i dont even remember what i was scared about at that point in time

what ive found helps me is to remember that. because in a year maybe i wont even remember what im scared of right now
for the runny nose thing its a separate thing, which id like to know more about

oh and the FDA just denounced sudafed PE as "not being any more useful in removing sinus blockages than placebo"

i think that you all should start taking your own advice - and when you say, if you say that "if epinephrine was in everything like salt, it would be bad!" then you use your own argument and its logic to know that its not used in everything, and its unlikely that people would overdose (getting more than say 20mg of epinephrine a day) even if it was an OK drug to use, which it should be, to realize that, no, its not used in everything, thankfully so

because that would be ridiculous
soo then take your own advice

I don't mean to be ungrateful but I don't understand how this relates to my condition at all. What's a nitrosamine panic? How do I know that this will help me cure my gastritis? I just need help with gastritis and noone else has been helpful.

reading more about it, it seems like she died of sepsis and hemorrhage and scooping the fetus out wouldn't have done anything to stop the internal bleeding.

I don't even know if it's what I need to help cure my condition and I'm really not in the place where I can afford the time and money to experiment with extravagant suggestions like. Where's the connection between nitrosamines, bromelain, and gastritis? I'm just looking for help or suggestions on how to adequately prepare what to ask my doctor on my upcoming consultation. Does noone here have actual experience with curing gastritis or know how it should be done?

A little bit of bloodletting never killed nobody.

>>16466364
ok? ... it didnt (!)
and there are still valid reasons to use bloodletting to help people! and the early studies about the phlem - I THINK - helped us understant the different pH -s and solubilities of internal liquid we have in our boils and blisters
but it isnt worth people coming here (to the internet) to get hurt - for people to get hurt - for that progress which probably wont mean a whole lot for that person getting injured or possibly even dying for what the anon hopes to gain
while those people who got hurt or had problems were having the things done to them that were the only options at the time

also if the vaccine was just mineral oil placebo (which could let it get past trials) then it might be useful to know-so, because i read that mineral oil (as placebo in heart medication trials... i think nitroglyceryl) can actually make heart disease more likely in the control groups, according to NICE
i can go find it for you but it is just the trials for using something for treating CVD and it mentions the mineral oil thing as a note for consideration when looking at the two groups

More than sufficient. Try me. What about you? What makes you assume your education is in any way interesting or impressive? I can all but guarantee you it is not.

Anything less than $40-$50/hr is an insult, and simply not worth the hassle. If you settle for peanuts now, you'll be eating peanut butter forever. You can afford this meger sum, can't you very rich and successful Doctor Anon, right? After all, you get what you pay for and you wouldn't want "help" that doesn't know its own true, market value would you?

"""Modern Western Culture""" doesn't exist. Hollywood, et. al. are just tacy Kikery. Nobody reads. Nobody listens to "real music" made by "real musicians". There are no painters or sculptors of note and "Modern Architecture" looks the same today as it did 100 years ago.....literally.

True Western Culture is ethnonationalistic, life-affirming, nature-admiring, rational and militaristic(in the sense of fighting against aggression/invasion and overcoming adversity in all its forms, personal and professional).

"The West" no longer exists and hasn't since the end of WWI, which ushered in the "Modern", "Globalist" paradigm(i.e. League of Nations, Central Banks, etc...)


Script Flip:

Who are you? What is your "level of education"? What is your specialty/pay? What is your """ethnicity"""?


Never bullshit a bullshitter, Son. I'll know if you're lying ;)

>>16468073
Do you know what specialty you want to go into yet, or at least which ones you don't want to go into?

Start talking to folks in those departments and offer to be their bitch. Your "professional networking" is officially underway. It really is all about who you know and not what you know, so meet as meany real humans in real life as you can. You never know when it will pay off down the line and it show you actually give a damn and are a go getter, which is what folks really want to see. Nobody cares about your test scores, but if you are a hard worker, people will notice.

Start working on living arrangements for Residency. Moving sucks so have plenty of money ready, get rid of all your excess shit and be willing to move far away if need be. Chances are you'll have to move several more times before you're done with Residency and are settled down somewhere too, so don't become a hoarder. Live simply and avoid clutter. You don't want to come home to a crazy, cluttered house every day either.

Beg, schmooze, let people know you're available for ANYTHING. Something will pop up even if it's outside your specialty, you'll learn something cool and have some new stuff for you CV.

P.S.

Start learning about money NOW! Even EU docs make decent money and you'll need to know what to do with it so the Banking Jew and the Govt. Jew don't take it all from you. Once you have a plan, you can easily become a millionaire within 10 years, then you're just living off investments.

hi
im not feeling too good and i cant think today for some reason. so for tonight ill just curl up with a study book :3

i didnt drink energy drinks for > 12 hours (or so) and as i way laying in bed before with my arms around myself for some reason in found that i could not feel my heartbeat if id breathed in, but normally i cant really feel my heartbeat anyways - just a little bit, or with something there, unlike here as i fill in my lungs. and not being able to feel my heart at all here made me think about how the EGC can pick up on some things (such as pleural effusion, pericarditis) because the extra fluid or width between the heart and the leads are now too far away from the heart to pick up electrical signals properly

Prolactin is only half of the lacation equation. Oxytocin is required for milk let down after production.

my class has an annoying clique of indian americans who noticeably try to act black and gangster, this week they all got caught cheating kek

>>16469256
Sounds very black and gangsta to me

>>16469256
many such cases.

the Indian/Chinese "Genius" meme has long since been proven false. They're basically fucking useless. Even the ones that can do the classwork, have zero creativity, innovation or first-hand experience in their field of "expertise".

Would you want to get in an Indian or Chinese submarine?

Me either ;)

>>16469256
Did they use body odour to communicate?

>>16469256
Imagine unironically believing the superpower by 2020 meme.

How were they cheating? I'm honestly on the verge of failing a class but I wouldn't risk cheating.

Turn on flight mode and a timer for one hour.

Think about how you're about to ruin your future by spending time on 4chan instead of unfucking your failing class. Spend an hour on this. Really steep yourself in the boredom of this contemplation for the whole hour.

After one hour you're welcome to come back to 4chan and doom scrolling.

Or leaving flight mode on and picking up the fucking book.

Sometimes you have to embrace the boredom and just put thefucking phone away. Turn on B&W mode around the clock, power saving, uninstall your browser. Just fucking cold turkey and sit with your book in 90 minutes sessions. Have a small walk in-between, then new session.

Is there a way to increase the speed of pupillary response? It's annoying how long it takes vision to adjust to changing light conditions. Probably wasn't much of an issue for most of human history when the sunrise/sunset cycle and weather were the primary causes of light level change, and that happens slowly, but we're in the modern age, with lights all over the place. Nevertheless, darkness still exists, so being able to quickly adapt to the current light level would be nice.

Hypothetically speaking; how could a patient with terminal (stage IV \ 90% chance he will die in a year or less) cancer patient volunteer himself , while still alive, for Lab Trials, experimental treatments (types of chemo or radiation maybe, or experimental steroids, etc)? Does this exist?
of course only a very altruistic and brave person would agree to it..but I read about that vaccine pioneer who gulped down a glass of pathogens to get sick and test the vax on himself..so maybe, this does exist.

>>16471338
Happens all the time.
Usually you get onto experimental trials through your oncologist.
Not that brave when people are desperate to live and current therapies are not working.

I HATE PEDS PSYCH

>>16471574
I only did adults.
Tell us about it, Anon. I'm curious.

Should you even consider becoming a doctor if you arent under 20 and have perfect financing though med school

>>16471587
Yeah life is just too hard. Should probably just end it before you suffer.

>>16471580
There are legitimate and very sad cases where the kids need help, but an overwhelming majority of the cases are:
>snooty, rich, over dramatic teenager with an eating disorder who constantly interferes with her treatment
they all hang out together too in efforts to sabotage their treatments
>fetal alcohol/neonatal abstinence kid with oppositional defiant disorder or anger issues dropped off at peds ED by their foster parents
>numerous edgy teenagers who were also dropped off at the peds ED by school counsellors after suspecting suicidal ideation, which the teen will always deny, but is now stuck in the psych ward because parents don't want to commit to bringing their kid to therapy or because the teen will flip-flop on having suicidal ideation for the attention
>caregiver burnout with severe autism spectrum and down syndrome children
>many teenage girls being screened for gender dysphoria and the family drama that comes with it
Because most psych drugs are still varied for safety in kids, most cases are entirely dependent on the child/teen's willingness and openness in speaking with the therapists for social skills training, CBT, family group discussion, and doing other activities, and with of the above cases, it rarely goes as planned. Many are frequent flyers as they are discharged with the parents promising to adhere to therapies but often fail at them. I miss internal med.

:( nta but I've managed to stay out of the ward for 4.5 months

another day, more mistakes. soon, i will make less.

i have this thing sometimes where when i go from inhaling to exhaling, there's a soft "click" that seems to be coming from behind my nose. it's just one and only when i stop inhaling and start exhaling. it's also intermittent. it'll happen for maybe 15 minutes and then stop.
i was hanging out with a friend and i noticed theirs did it to, so it's an audible thing.
what could this be? i imagine it's like a flap or something snapping closed but i don't know the architecture of the breathing system.

nah. entirely new software to get used to along with new and different arrangement of tests that need to be compared to the place i was at before. i should get used to it in a week, but this attending wants so much superfluous testing that its tough to remember all of it.

What does a high TSH means? Non medecine fag here

>>16473894
Hypothyroidism, roughly speaking. The thyroid isn't working as it should so your brain pumps more TSH to stimulate it.
