What field did you go into? I want to be a neurologist but it looks hard.
>>
>>689279430

Family Med. It's chill. Lots of jobs. Inpatient, outpatient, urgent care, whatever you want to do.

Yes. neurologists work pretty damn hard. Imagine being on call and having to consult every stroke that comes in the ED
>>
I know you are not a dentist but i just chipped off half a tooth. what do?
>>
>>689280369

Do you care about your looks? Go to the emergency room. They'll call in a dentist to work on your shit

Do you not care about your looks? put the chipped part in the fridge and wait in the morning to call your dentist, he might do something, he might not.

Or just fuck it.

I'm in residency, so only about 55k/year

that could shoot up anywhere from 150k to 300k depending where I go afterwards

America. West coast

I work in HR for one of the large medical companies. Highest salaries I've seen for a physician is $350 per hour for a chief dermatologist of a hospital. Rest of the specialist typically make around 200-250 per hour.

>>689283730

That's kinda tough. Our big thing is "first, do no harm". You'd be asking a doctor to damage your nail plexus so you could get out of paying $100/month

I would ask to be referred to a dermatologist, who will then grill you about you REALLY wanting this to be done, and that you're in sound mind, and then he'll just spray your nail plexus with liquid nitrogen for 30 seconds

Penis transplant

If a doctor is good: he'll know all the latest evidence based stuff
I care about certain patients more than others. It depends on my interactions with them. Patients that go in demanding dumb labwork and antibiotics and have no respect for your medical knowledge, I could'nt give a shit about. Especially anti-vaxers. I would just do enough to not get sued or hurt the patient

>>689285911
No, why?

>>689285964

Then I would ask for a referral to a podiatrist or something. I don't know for sure why your doctor wants to preserve your toe. Maybe he thinks there's nothing wrong with your toe and all you need to wear is better shoes. I don't know.

So like about a month and a half ago I fell down an 18 ft hill and hyper extended my knee doing so. I did RICE and all which made the swelling go down but it still hurts like a bitch and gets stiff very easily. Not sure if that' normal? I'd like at least a little advice on what to do to help it.

Have you been to Physical Therapy? Some specialize in that shit. I have kyphosis too. Yoga is working for me

You probably tore a ligament. Keep doing RICE and get yourself an MRI, you might need surgery

Some residency programs in America look to Caribbean medical schools for applicants.

Is there a way to I can convince a doctor to do a risky procedure?

Like can we sign a contract/waiver where I can't sue him or something?

My pelvis and hips are fucked with osteonecrosis and every time I suggest shit like partial pelvis replacements coupled AND hip replacements at the same time they go noooooooope. Too risky.

But I have read about that exact procedure being done in the UK/South Africa.

My ass is leaking. No trolling. I'm just carrying on normally through my day and suddenly I feel some itch in my butt, I go to the WC and when i clean it with some TP, its dirty.

I'm stuck doing outpatient for now, dunno if I plan on staying here though. The scheduling is less of an hours issue and more of a "fuck you, you have 30 checkups/appointments this hour" issue. I can't even rush because I have to be thorough, so everyone just ends up pissed.

>>689293685
If you are going into peds to just do that, you probably won't have the work ethic to even make it into medical school, let alone complete medical school and do residency.

I'll do the fiber thing, although I'm not putting anything in my butt, neither I had.

Context being the patient just had a shunt revision. Initially just tachy with BP all over, then PVC's, progressing to couplets. However, hr would be stable for 30-60mins before episodes, rinse and repeat. During sleep, bp would drop to 56/30.

I have been to several.

One told me that my shit was so fucked up that nothing he could do would fix it probably, so it would be way to much liability for him.

Another told me the bone was so thin there was nothing to hook anything to, which is why I suggest pelvis replacement to hook the hip replacements to... He likewise said too risky.

Third did all kinds of 3d scans and shit, said he couldn't do normal hip placements. When I suggested the pelvis replacement he said he doesn't do anything experimental.

Pediatric exams are mostly to ensure proper development, though they do include every part of the body. Physicals are more so for health concerns. Physicals are less intense, but both are pretty thorough. We also do general shit like checkups, shots, and more. It's not all just ball fondling.

Cardiology is onboard, as is nuerosurgery, Neuro, critical care, and hematology. I'll give you a hint, the shunt revision was a conversion from a VP to a VA. Echo was performed and patient went into a 7 beat vtach during the echo when looking left at the screen. Patient is female, if curious.

Sounds like you have Diabetes.
Could It Be Diabetes?
Thirst you can’t seem to quench is one symptom of diabetes, a disease in which your body doesn’t make enough of the hormone insulin or doesn’t use it properly. It causes too much sugar (called glucose) to build up in your body. Too much of it in your urine draws in more water, so you pee more often. That leaves your body wanting to replace the fluid you’re losing.

Along with thirst and more visits to the restroom, other symptoms of diabetes include:

Blurred vision
Feeling very tired
Hunger
Cuts and bruises that are slow to heal
Could It Be Diabetes Insipidus?
Despite its name, this condition isn’t related to diabetes. It happens when your body doesn’t make enough of a hormone that helps your kidneys control the amount of water in your body. Excessive thirst is one of the major symptoms.
If you have diabetes insipidus, you may also have:

Dehydration
The urge to pee often
>>
>>689297551

Shower shoes and a clean towel you mong. Also clean your nasty balls and keep them dry.
>>
>>689299023
You may have to be put on antibiotic, then have surgery where they wash it with fluid and antibiotics, and then re cut the wound and put a lot of stitches in it.

The one we use is dogshit and is the cheapest the hospital could buy. The better ones like Epic are okay though and are actually useful. But in the end, EMRs were made with the primary purpose to make billing more efficient, and thus make more money for the folks at the top.

Close. Whenever she would turn on her left side or turn her head, bp would plummet and vtach ensued. Upon straightening out, bp and hr would even out. Echo showed the shunt catheter was too far forward and therefor tickling the tricuspid valve. Another revision surgery to pull the catheter back corrected the issue, with the exception of normal palpitations expected with VA shunt placement. Patient was discharged from ICU 6 days after the initial VA surgery.

Only go into medicine if you are truly passionate about it because it will consume your whole life. You will make enough where the loans are irrelevant and you can live very comfortably. If you hate you work your life will be awful and you will have to do it anyway to finish your residency to pay off your debt.

OP I've had something on my areola for a year. It's itchy most of the time and it looks a bit like skin is peeling but it doesn't feel like how it does on your foot for example. I've been to the doctor and all see said was to use lotion and well it didn't work. What do you suggest? Could it be eczema?

You have to take usually a 10 day dose of antibiotics, if you do it off on your own you can fuck it up and it becomes resistant and then your kind of screwed. Just go to a doc and get antibiotics they are super cheap and if you have insurance it will be like 25 dollar copay and less than 10 for the antibiotics

If you are not 100% sure of becoming a doctor don't do it, the amount of time and money invested to become a doctor isn't worth. If you have second thoughts now, imagine its 2 am and you have been working the last 36 hours and your shift doens't end for another 8 hours, your about to pass out and you are constant filling out paper work seeing patients filling orders ext... this is common in residency

some of the surgical residences work 120 hours per week, there are only 168 hours in a week

Cool case. Are you an intensivist or ICU RN or something?

Nobody really knows what causes joints to crack and pop. If it doesnt hurt, don't worry about it

did you gain weight? If not, I've never heard of a penis getting 1 inch smaller, that's amazing

Some docs lie to patients when there's a fuckup, in order to avoid getting sued. It's actually better to just be completely upfront and honest, patients are less likely to sue that way. At least that's what everyone tells us

Never in America. Even if you're an evil, unethical doc, it's waaay too risky. There are easier ways to make more shady money

I don't know how I'd "cover up" another docs mistakes even if I wanted to. There's always people that will find your mistakes and out you for it

what year are you? I went through that phase too in 3rd year. Some hospitals/residencies just have shitty staff. There's nothing you can do about it. Unfortunately it can have an effect what you decide for your long term career

Fluid up before the test. Maybe pop a Xanax too

>>689303020
Nope. As a patient though, once, I got a boner while the RN while putting in a cath. I think me getting the boner made it easier for him to insert it. Yes it was a dude btw. No homo

prob eczema. Try getting a steroid cream. Be careful, because that stuff can cause hypopgimentation of the skin

>>689303943
Yes

Oh come on, don't scare away the kid. I was about 75% sure about medicine when I started.

Life's a risk, nigga

bad lab tech was drawing blood for donation and jammed needle into a nerve cluster. 2 days later, still getting sharp pains near my wrist. Best things to help heal it? Read that B-12 helps.

Not really, I'm not that kind of doctor. A few boys who were in the early stages of puberty have dribbled because they are sensitive as fuck, but it's not common.

are you OP? you talk like someone who just hears stories. i want advice from someone who has already been through residency. if I am not sure about medicine why the fuck would I become a surgeon? especially since I mentioned psych. your advice makes little sense. I'm the US. i'm not a fresh faced college kid like people going into combined college + med school in europe

i've been on various anti-depressants (paxil, wellbutrin, zoloft, prozac) at different times over the past 10 years. none of them have worked. i'm not severely depressed, i can only describe it as being a passenger - i take things in but nothing really effects me in a positive or negative way. is there something you suggest i do? i've been to therapists and they haven't helped. i actually don't know if i'm actually depressed or if this is just what life is supposed to feel like. have you encountered this in any patients?

Pharmacist here, 27 years old. I make $150k/yr and owe about $140k in student loans.

I've thought about going back to school and going for family medicine. Do you think I should just enjoy the cushy gig I have? Working only 40 hours per week and not be on call etc. I would pile on more loans and only make about $50k more per year, but lose out on 4 years of full pharmacist income and 3 years of 2/3 pharmacist income.

If I were to go back, it'd be purely out of better job security, intellectual challenge, and money. Fuck patients.

I am not op, I'm in college and want to become a doctor. I have done a lot of research watching documentaries and reading about people who have done residency and have shadowed a lot of doctors. I am not sure about how they do it in europe.

This video is a good indication of what a US residency is like at a top hospital
