Do nipples regrow if you accidentally cut them off?
>>16839978In the last thread or the one before that I posted how I failed my first anatomy practical.i figured it out bros and I aced the last one.
>>16840581How the fuq do you not pass A&P? It's just fucking memorization. You should've known all that before you even got there, no really. It's like knowing the basic parts of a car before you go to tech school. This does NOT bode well for your future academic endeavors. TRY HARDER!
>>16840591> It's like knowing the basic parts of a car before you go to tech school. Maybe in your Caribbean school for retards who want to wear a white coat. For the rest of the world is still hard to memorize AND LEARN a huge amount of information, especially considering that anatomy is still taught like ass. Then again, you pajeets are only good for rote learning like the low IQ automatons you are. >>16840581Good work faggot

Currently burnt out as fuck and I don't want to study right now, bros.
>>16841067I recently took an exam and I usually go all out before exams so I'm tired as fuck.
>>16840449nounless your dad sucks your chest at night to make two gigantic hickies where your nipples should be
>>16840591I failed A&P twice, sighh I was filtered throughly
>>16840740Wannabe nurses take it at Community College in the US, ffs. I'm not kidding, you should have most of those terms memorized already, simply out of interest. Again, the mechanic analogy holds true. I mean it, Anon. If you're really going to do this, you need to WANT to do it, not dread it. You're going to be using these terms every minute of everyday for the rest of your career, just like every other Med Fag for the past 2500 years. Embrace it. Respect it. Know it. Nothing will make you look dumber, faster than flubbing the naming, pronunciation and spelling of anatomy. Doing so is the perfect "teachable moment"(i.e. humiliation ritual) your attendings and professors will love to make you endure, as well. Imagine getting corrected in the middle of Rounds in front of you Boss, Colleagues, the Patient and Jesus Christ Himself.......not a good look, really ;)
>>16841088Then it did its job. That's not a bad thing, but you have to genuinely enjoy learning and using tens of thousands of new terms and structures within the first 1-2 years, and it only grows from there. If you're not already learning those things on your own, just because you find it "fun" and "interesting", then it's best to get out now. No worries, there are a zillion other things you can do that make way more money and are way less hassle than medicine.
>>16841088If it makes you feel better, I took O. Chem II over a 6 week Summer course and we started with about 300 kids, and ended with less than 30, so you're hardly alone. They call them "weed out classes" for a reason. I'd say a good 70% of the "point" of them is to try to break you with the sheer volume of work required to keep up. It's not "hard", per se, but it's "like drinking from a fire hydrant" for a decade. You have to be able to handle large amounts of detailed info, not be a "genius" that reinvents the wheel every week. On the contrary, you want to do the same procedure the EXACT same way EVERY SINGLE time until you cannot get it wrong, even when they wake you up at 3am, after having already worked for the previous 48 hrs. straight, which will also happen. Eventually, it become automatic and you can just use Medspeak like a robot in your sleep, but only if you use it all day everyday. Embrace the Suck! The cool part is that once you know the basic lingo, you can understand 80% of every case you hear about. It's actually really cool and you see how and why things are called what they are. Well worth the investment of time and effort. Plus, it makes you at least look smart and chicks dig it too.

>>16841173Took a total of 3 days off from studying. I'm feeling better now and I'm going to get back into the grind tomorrow. My medical school strategy is literally going all out at the beginning of the block, scoring high on the first exam and then easing off the accelerator for the rest of the block. It's kinda fucked lol.
How do you pick a specialty?I like everything
Voluntary medicine, using safe and effective treatments, is ethical.Involuntary medicine is unethical (although perhaps could be permitted only if the patient is on the verge of death or permanent disability).Pic related. Psychiatric staff should not restrain patients and forcibly inject them, but like I said, perhaps it could be permitted if the patient will imminently die or be permanently disabled if they are not injected.
>>16839978My poop is best described as "carbonated loam". Let's say that yesterday I ate two toasted jalapeno bagels with scallion and onion cream cheese for breakfast, small extra jalapeno nacho for lunch, and a grilled cheese and spicy tomato-jalajeno soup for dinner. Probably a brownie or other weed snack for dessert. Tomorrow, with my coffee, maybe even before, I will blow a canister of used jalapeno bagel and cream cheese into the bowl where it will break apart and continue to foam until I flush. Fifteen minutes later, we repeat with a fizzling corn-based shell which explodes in mentos fashion, then a rye-bound beanbag of lycopene colored sizzurp and boba.I am not asking for medical advice, only for a scientific and medical discussion as to what is happening.What bacteria strains are involved? How do I verify this? What gene sequencing services and cloning techniques can I use?Can I CRISPR any of these little soda machines to glow-in-the-dark or smell like bacon?
>>16842500In my school they have exams every week so how is it structured for you where you only have to do well on your first?
What if both tits get hard? I'm male btw.
Most recent CBSSA was 2 days ago, 77% on form 31We have 32 and 33 left, then I take the free 120 on Sunday before my exam Thursday to give me 3 days of just repeatedly grinding uworld incorrects. Wish me luck

>>16842528YouTube is the best lifestyle spec. Start by making a "I quit medicine" video and post pensive thoughtful videos of your soul searching and "journey" then do sponsors for random products with coupon codes.
>>16843122At my school, there are only 3 exams per block (2 summative exams and 1 cumulative). 1 exam (the one I recently took last Monday) is scheduled in the middle of the block. During the last week of the block, the last summative is on a Monday and the cumulative is on Friday. That said, my strategy is to go all out on the first exam so I'm not scrambling to pass that last week of school. A friend of mine bombed the first exam (the average was a 71) and he's now in a shitty situation where he has to do exceptionally well that last week of school.
>>16843181>Start by making a "I quit medicine" videoThe only people who are able to quit medicine like that are already rich. I'm jealous, honestly.

>>16845275No. I don't know why people conflate creatine and steroids so much. You might go bald if you have shitty genetics and do a fuck ton of steroids. >>16845407>Is penis enlargement an active area of research in the medical field? Yes. Fuck ton of money in it. >Has there been any progress in that matter? Yes. You can't imagine how many men actually go and set on a quest to make their dick bigger. And I mean absolute quests, like cretins travelling to the third world, risking getting their kidney taken out and given to george soros just to make their dick bigger.>What are the biochemical mechanisms that allow for penile growth during puberty and why it seems so hard to replicate that in male adults?The human penis during infancy is, to a tissue level, "ready and willing" to grow with it's signal being testosterone. I say ready and willing because it has a bunch of receptors for testosterone, because it's almost like it wants to hear the signal to grow. After puberty is over, there are less receptors. And also, the penis develops a bunch of structures in between its cells that closes the deal once puberty is over
>>16846126Thanks for your answer, that's extremely interesting. Do you have any textbook or paper recommendations to dig deeper about the anatomy and the maturation process of the male genitalia (I'm a layman but willing to put in the work)?
>>16846573You're going to have to dig the specific papers yourself, but considering you're a layman, to understand the playing field you will need to get the basics. The simplest and most time effective way of understanding tissue maturation (of any kind, you will come to find there are repeating protocols) is through molecular biology. I learned using Cooper, but I think that maybe Alberts is better. Once you get a grasp, you could check out the actual tissues by the infinite amount of histology resources. I prefer Netter's atlas of histology. Perhaps embryology might come useful to understand why does the tissue react and grow during the early stages, Moore is the king there. Take this shit with a grain of salt man, I'm just a student. You perhaps would be better off asking an urologist, the shit I described to you is minuscule in comparison of how huge this whole thing actually is (that's what she said)

>>16847421I saw a psychiatrist for symptoms related to my burnout and he gave me the choice to take SSRIs or do talk therapy. I chose talk therapy.
>>16848486Normies don't become doctors anymore, they become NPs/PAs/RNs. It lets them get a 6 figure salary, the prestige they're looking for, and it's faster with less responsibility, less tuition money and less studying and they can still play doctor. It makes no difference to their normie friends they want to impress.
>>16849738>he gave me the choice to take SSRIs or do talk therapy. I chose talk therapy.Not even trying to be snarky but how does talking help? Easier said than done but engaging in your hobbies and what you enjoy is a better choice?
>>16849786Have you done talk therapy before? The whole point is to give you constructive and objective feedback because any person cannot view themselves or their own thoughts truly objectively. If someone is catastrophizing they need external input to course correct because their heightened emotions are making them think irrationally. The point of Cognitive BT is to change the way you think and learn healthier practices so you can become more objective and self-sufficient to the point therapy is no longer needed. Engaging in hobbies or other practices that would lead to further isolation means more time ruminating on your own which most of the time just leads to a worsened state as you're delaying the necessary intervention.
what happens to someone who eats a normal amount of taurine daily?
>>16849853Eating a normal amount of taurine daily is generally safe and beneficial, supporting functions like heart health, the central nervous system, and digestion. For healthy adults, daily intakes of up to 3 to 6 grams are considered safe and may offer advantages such as improved cardiovascular and immune health, while providing antioxidant protection.
>>16849738>>16849823The evidence for talk therapy is weaker than for SSRI because for the latter you can do rcts and check if the SSRI group has better results than the placebo group in terms of anxiety, depression etc.

>>16850260Lmao what check
>>16850260I only care about myself.
>>16849738That's good when you have a choice. And yeah talking can be good. Some patients don't get a choice though - they get forcibly locked up and forcibly drugged. I hope these patients can have a choice about medication in the future.>>16849951I think SSRIs can have benefits if you're willing to take them every day and really commit to them. But then of course there are downsides of SSRIs, like sexual dysfunction. Some patients report having PSSD (Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction) meaning that their sexual dysfunction continues for months or years after stopping their SSRI. I wonder how many patients would actually be able to get over their problems without SSRIs if they were to persevere, but instead they get told to take SSRIs, and then it's difficult to get off SSRIs because you get withdrawal symptoms.
>>16845275No. Also don't do a fuckton. 10g daily is enough.

>>16850457>But then of course there are downsides of SSRIs, like sexual dysfunction. Some patients report having PSSD (Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction) meaning that their sexual dysfunction continues for months or years after stopping their SSRI.There are other meds that don't cause sexual sides in men and the existence and prevalence of PSSD is still heavily debated. If it exists, it must be fairly rare. Depression, stress and anxiety by themselves can already give you low libido and ED so distinguishing between that and long term effects from meds is nearly impossible. RCTs with a few thousend people certainly didn't pick it up.

no one injects patients with lethal doses of morphine anymore
So, I've decided I want to pivot into medicine once I'm done with my degree (post grad pathway). How TF do you actually study for the GAMSAT though because everyone gives conflicting advice about X being shit or y being garbage, some people even saying that if you have a science degree section 3 is piss easy, but I'm genuinely confused on where to start.

I've had what I assume to be a pinched nerve in my right shoulder blade near the center of my back for a week now. Ibuprofen does nothing. Icy Hot kinda works but it stinks so bad. It's getting better most days but it's still pretty bad a week on. At what point should I go to the doctor and is he going to do anything other than give me better ibuprofen?
>>16859553Go see a NP (Naughty Pirate). They are the heart of the hospital or something like that. They hate men, so use that to your advantage.

Anyone else here feeling like they're only in med school because they come from a well off family? It's crazy to think that otherwise I'd probably be a door dasher. I feel like I have to make up for this by working in some bumfuck remote area, where there isn't enough healthcare.
>>16862563Most people go into healthcare for the cushy life. But it checks out that you don't understand that. Being a physician should be de-glamorized to remove the normies. I want trades-tier personalities in medicine, not soft handed complaining pussyfags. It's only hard to get in these days too because of people desiring the job and pay. 50 years ago, you'd need a 3.3 gpa, sit the mcat, and show up to the interview. Now everyone wants to cure cancer and jerk themselves off with public worship and attention.
>>16862576Interesting perspective. I didn't know that it wasn't as glamourous in the past. I assumed it was always very respected.
>>16862580It was even more glamorous in the past, way better paid but with a slightly worse work life balance. Medicine was also way easier back then because nothing was really known for treatments until the 60s, so a lot of hospitals were just where you sent people to die
Chillest surgery specialties?
>>16859573You're a sexhaver so whatever happens to you is irrelevant to us
Just got randomized for 3rd year clinical site rotation. Got assigned to a site in the middle of nowhere. I'm hearing rural physicians tend to be extremely nice but the patient volume is 1/2 that of city locations. Any other positives and negatives to be ready for? Not trying to do family med and trying to be relatively competitive for match. Not sure how much this affects board scoring and experiences going into residency apps
any TMJ nerds hereare eminectomies a good and reliable way of preventing TMJ dislocation (at least to the degree of being able to get things back so you can chew/close your mouth again)? hard to find stats on overall effectiveness and satisfaction.i was also reading that they inject your own blood or platelets into your jaw to help with TMJ dislocation and other TMJ issues which is pretty metal but i dont think its offered as a treatment option in my cuntry

I can literally guess every question for my final and still pass. Can I stop studying and relax now, bros? I'm tired.
I'm suffering from a bad case of decision fatigue. What specialty should I choose? Shortlist are: Dermatology, opthalmology or lab medicine.I heard (and read) that lab medicine pays the best.Anyone in these fields? Are you satisfied?
>>16863039while pay is important, it isnt everything. what are you most interested in? what other factors are important to you?
>>16862930Why does glaucomflecken post here? His wife has a high test jawline. Quite impressive. >>16862983Take two days off and see where you stand. >>16863039>PayfagDo something you like. You could even just go be a pharma bitch if you'd like, or admin.
>>16863045>>16863095I've been living without much money my entire life. I don't stand to inherit anything. I think every field gets dull (or has interesting parts) but some just pay more than others. I genuinely like the feeling of being compensated well. It's not just about pay, but the more you earn the more respect you get. I hate that feeling of inferiority. I like talking to patients.
>>16862563No. I am not an “upper caste” indian.
>>16863123Sounds like you should be a financebro. Med gets paid in peanuts compared to businessfags
>>16863138>admitting you're indianembarrassingall patients will worry about your hygiene with your shit-stained handsthey will question whether the exam you're doing is necessary and not you just feeling them up because you're a turbo virginyou should go into IT or work at the local 7/11

>>16839978For many years i have had often diarrhea but at some point it all got better, however for the past 2 years i have nutella shit, it sticks to the bowl and every time i need to scrub the toilet bowl. Been living at my moms house for 3 months and her plumbing is weak or something and i have to flush 2 times, one to flush, the second to flush the shit im wiping with the toilet brush thing. Why the fuck is my shit LITERAL nutella?I decided to ask it here since you all are my friends, i just didnt know which board to go and ask this, i hope this is the right place? Serious question btw
is family medicine good or will i be "wasting my potential" if i can get into something more competitive?I only want to do private practice FM, I would never ever want to work for a hospital or anyone else doing FM.

Involuntary psychiatric "treatment" is inhumane.When it was done to me, I was still a completely rational human being. If they wanted me to take drugs then they should have told me all the known benefits and drawbacks of these drugs (they didn't do this) so I could make an informed choice.I was not a threat to anybody else when they forcibly injected me. They thought I was a danger to myself, but that's absolutely nonsense. I had no plans whatsoever to harm myself and I told them this.It's very easy to say that involuntary psychiatric treatment is fine when you're not the one being subjected to it.
>>16863316Or maybe it was a subtle way to call you a mindbroke indian.
>>16863569The feathers hate the dots more than they hate the whiteman. The feathers couldn't survive a decade without white infrastructure and aid. Nobody wants indians in NA except world leaders who use dots as a bioweapon. I didn't know a race could be hated more than blacks, but Indians really surpassed all expectations. People also avoid fast food places because Indians overrun everything. Patients complain about Indian doctors, and so on. Pol was right: indians swing between delusional gloating begging for acceptance.
>>16862983>>16863095I ended up getting a 72/90 on my final. It could have been better but I'm glad that school is over now and I can go home.

At first I wasn’t considering surgery at all but after anatomy I’ve started to find a real interest in it, but I’ve done no damn research since undergrad. Idk
>>16864119Jeet cope
>>16864355How does surgery related research even look like? I'm in 5th year (EU), and also starting to consider it because I'm going over anatomy again.
>>16842528>I like everythingWelcome to family med bro
>>16863550FM is one of the most "your mileage may vary" specialties. There's plenty of range in terms of how competitive residencies are, pay, how widely you practice, etc. If you're really into it I say go for it. Or if you can't decide a specialty then go for it. If you're interested in other things more then I say don't.

I am so fucking fucked, i was told it would be easier to find a gf once I'm a medical student- that was a lie. I'm going to be single literally for the rest of my life. What am i supposed to fucking do?
>>16864994Graduate and start fucking patients
>>16864994You will get assigned a gold digger nurse eventually. She will cheat on you, give you mediocre sex and then take all of your (relatively mediocre) cash
>>16864994yeah, i was told the same about optometry school. nearly every girl that was in optometry school was married or had a longterm bf, and the ones that didn't are the ones you dont want to interact with a 10ft pole lmao.

This is also too sexy: perfect BF%, flat tummy, perfectly shaped breasts that plastics could never achieve, and the man is clearly a big Chungus. This must have been a heart attack of sex. Just hit her sternum with an epi pen and call it a day.

>>16865649I was a patient on a psych ward, and I was drugged because they thought I was a danger to myself, which was of course a lie.I think society just sees every distressed person as potentially dangerous (even if they actually aren't) so they think it's justified to forcibly drug patients on that basis.

On my 4th year of critical care residency in the european khalifate. I exist in the eye of some kind of hurricane made of death, extreme suffering, grief, drooling retards and powerpoint slides. I have no time for the things I enjoy, I can not sleep at night, i am abusing drugs and falling deeper into schizoid behaviours. I am very probably clinically depressed. Had a nice woman i ejected from my life because i couldnt give a FUCK about the relationshipThis life is so ass, I gotta get out while I still can. Im not even rich, I got memed so hard brehThank you for reading my blog :^)

>>16867611Crit care only? I always was under the impression that eurangutans do 2 years of anesthesia followed by another 2 of crit care. If your mind is overwhelmed you can always take the gas path. As an anesthesiologist trained in hispanic america I find my job is mind numbing. Been looking to perfect it, master it but it isn’t worth it.
>>16867963CC is a stand-alone specialization here, and its 5 years.

>>16867993Los programas de anestesia en hispanoamerica son 3 años de puro quirófano. Es un programa único en el mundo así que no puedo revalidar en otro país.
