What's med opinion on Chiropractors? Honest non meme answers only.

>>15397920
Extremely based if you go to a good one. Only negatively viewed due to an extensive campaign bu Morris Fishbein et al of the early AMA in the 1920's to 4's, who were only interested in peddling drugs and tried to destroy any competing methods and modalities by any means necessary. Modern medical licenses and related laws are a product of this campaign. Chiropractic (and osteopathy) survived, narrowly. It had absolutely zero to do with evidence, efficacy, or the public fgood, and all to do with eliminating competition.

In my opinion chiropractic can be useful for managing things like chronic low back pain where there aren’t really good medical options for treatment

>>15397448

Are doulas just new age mommy blog nonsense? I keep hearing on progressive media outlets about how it is essential for the government to subsidize doulas, but every time I hear interviews with one, they sound like frauds itching to get in on health insurance money. They don't seem to have any standard of -or any- clinical knowledge, but there seems to be a lot of lobbying for the service.

Can you list playing video games on your medical school application? I get why it should be avoided - I don't want to look like a gaymer buuuut maybe it humanizes me? I play video games like once every 2 weeks so it's not even a lot and I only play Civ and Runescape.

>>15399713
not if you want to be accepted

>>15399721
Even if I have a 3.92 GPA and a 518 MCAT? What else should I avoid? I asked about watching anime in an earlier thread. I guess watching TV/movies is another thing I should avoid.

Would reading comics be fine? I like reading Archie comics and Garfield.

>>15399713
>list videogames
did you play them competitively for a decent amount of time?
if no, only mention it if you are asked about one of the things you do to unwind

>>15399467
so? you can be a legitimate doctor and not have an MD.

>>15399733
I guess I won't list video games then. I assume so I don't look lazy or like a gaymer? I have 'productive' activities too but sometimes I just want to turn my brain off.

>>15399731
Are you autistic? Or do you just have a low IQ? No one sympathizes with pure, passive consumption hobbies. In most cases, it's like saying watching afternoon TV is your hobby. I also have this opinion of fiction lit, but normies understandably find this more "high brow".

Come back when you have a hobby like philosophy, making music, or hiking (the latter is a basic bitch answer, but it shows you are not a pure consoomer minimum value bugman).

>>15399731
idk man you just need to play up the things you do that sound at least somewhat interesting. for instance on my app I talked about birdwatching, drawing with pen & ink, and insect collecting

>>15399731
just have normal acceptable hobbies. if you have a single plant you keep in the windowsill you could play that up as "gardening".
cooking is a thing everyone does, it could be a thing that you pretend to be passionate about.
any outdoor walking could be played up as hiking.

Is there a codeword or something I can use at the ER and such to assure that I am not treated by one of you autistic fucks?

Eliminating that entire field would be a net positive for humanity. It's on the level of voodoo witch doctor bullshit, not evidence based at all and they're 30 years behind the primary literature. It's the most psychopathic sham branch of the medical-industrial complex. Completely vile.

I'm not sure if those options are worse or not

okay so i spent the past hour or two doing autism tests online and i think i might actually have autism. i'm 26.
it's a bit odd because i want to be social and have people like me and have friends, but i find it hard to do so. i'm often mean to people and i don't communicate well, despite having good intentions.
is there fucking anything to be done about autism? can i fix myself through training and effort or is it like being retarded and i'm fucked forever?
online consensus is like, "autism acceptance" and "there is no cure". i don't want to be fucking autistic.

>>15400674
Most of the government resources and psychosocial interventions are meant for children I think. You might benefit from speaking to a therapist. As far as I know there aren’t great drug options for autism per se, although there are specific treatments for symptoms / comorbidities

>>15400709
Hear that anon? There are no drugs to mask your symptoms. Oh noes.

>>15400709
>>15400718
i do well enough at wearing a mask. people tend to assume i'm normal enough, and i've had friends and girlfriends. i just put on an act in situations where i assume it comes naturally to other people. it'd be nice if it didn't feel artificial all the time, but if that's just a thing i have to shoulder forever, fair enough.

Something that might be helpful is meeting other high functioning autistic people. You could discuss common experiences and coping strategies. There are support groups like this for psychotic disorders that seem to benefit people.

I visited Africa for awhile and while I was there I was exposed to a lot of the uh alternative remedies. One of them being a mixture of shea butter mixed with bitter kola powder. Women would massage the mixture onto their tits,hips and ass to enlarge them. It was applied twice daily for about a month or so and was apparently used for centuries. Is this legit? Or just spooky tribal remedies?

>>15408488
We don't know, there aren't clinical randomized studies on rubbing your tits with butter and kola.
People do lots of things without clinical trials, so whatever. You can spread the shea on your ass cheeks if it makes you feel nice and pretty, and then it's still a positive thing.

Diagnosis and treatment of muscoloskelettal dysfunctions falls short in traditional school medicine, there isn't really a good comprehensive evidence based diagnostic system in place to deal with the complexity of the issue outside of mutlimodal pain therapy for symptomatic relief. So shit like chiropractics, osteopathy or TCM comes into play, using their own systems to adress it, but you'd be hard pressed to call them sufficiently "evidence based", hence it's luck of the draw to a degree. Properly analyzing more complex dynamic or structural issues requires training, experience and most of all time, the skillset isn't necessarily part of your training as an ortho or PM&R, and you certainly won't get the time to do it properly in a clinical setting. That is not say it completely falls short, as it can correctly assess and treat certain issues , but if the regular treatment options don't work for you and you'll start approaching the wall of just getting pills and PT for symptomatic relief it's best to pony up the money and look elswhere for further diagnostic testing. But then again, alternative medicine is also full of quacks so be prepared for a frustrating journey

Why am I becoming so cynical /med/? I had a severely demented woman in the emergency department, so demented that she could not even talk or eat on her own. She had removed her PEG tube for the third time in one year now so we had to reinsert it.
My question is why the hell are we using resources on keeping these people alive? Why are we reintroducing a PEG tube so that she can continue to eat when left to her own devices supposed to die in such a condition?

Keep her alive as long as possible, will you? She's not gone as long as we can keep visiting her every few years

>>15409184
You’re becoming cynical because you see your work as futile. I was like you a couple months ago. I’ve gassed critical cases with lactate >10 only for them to die at the ICU or under a shitty sedation provided by the surgeon at the surgery floor because ICU wouldn’t take them.
I remember one time. A laparotomy of a 50some sweet woman. It was an ulcerative tumor that rekd her. The scalpel nigger did what he wanted, I did what I could. Died in less than four after after discharging her to the surgery floor under sedation.
When I talked to her I promised I’d do whatever it was at my hands so her husband would see her again. And he did. Some times it’s not about saving lives, but more about giving the ill a fighting chance. That man got four more precious hours to tell her how much he loved her and to say his goodbyes. How much would you pay to have the same chance after your hours are gone, Anon?

The most ridicoules one I've seen was back in early medschool, it was an older lady, she had become blind, was in constant pain and her skin had become so thin in places that it bascially ripped off at any touch, it was really beyond pergament skin thin. Back then I helped a nurse with her wound dressings and her arms were just covered in open sores where the skin had come off, even eating caused her pain, so she was just lying in bed, either sedated or moaning, telling the staff she just wanted to die, and that just went on for weeks until I finished my "nurse rotation" (required in my country for medschool). Can't remember what exactley she had, but that was honestly the worst state I've seen a non-critical patient in, I sincerely hope she died soon after

Halp. I've fallen, and I can't get up. I graduated with a humanities degree from a US top 3 school. I am 27 (white, m). I would like to go back to school for med school (post-bac + med school or IMG). I was great at natural sciences and humanities in high school (National AP Scholar). However, I was kind of average in college because of problems (that I won't mention). Is it too late for me? Replies from doctors or med school students are preferred (especially non-traditional students). Any advice would be appreciated. I already tried /adv/,

>>15409987
I mean yeah it's totally doable but really ask yourself if you want this before you commit

Consider going to EMT school first to show "genuine interest" in patient care/healthcare etc. and do some of that work so you can show clinical exposure and convince them you don't just want to do medicine for the money

>>15410007
It's all I think about. I read research papers (I work for a publishing company) about public health and molecular biology and I psych myself out not being able to do that kind of work. I didn't have guidance early on because white parents are hands-off. I'm smart, but I really wish someone just smacked me upside the head after 6th grade microscopy and told me to be a doctor. It's still my fault, nevertheless.

>>15410017
I'm working outside the states atm. If I bomb out of post-bac, I will just work to pay off the debt and return to where I am.

>>15410040
Good idea. However, EMT work is non-existent where I live. I was thinking of just doing a MPH first (internationally) before doing a post-bac to show that I am not in it for the money. Law and ibanking are better for money, but I don't care for those fields.

I'm a 20 year old white man with a 3.3 GPA. I'm not going to make it into medical school. All I wanted to do was take out people's gallbladders. I have extensive clinical experience compared to most other premeds but because of my fucking low GPA I can't realize the only thing I want to do in life, and I'm probably going to kill myself. Meanwhile, all these TikTok type Instathot girls at my uni are able to get by with 3.6-4.0 GPAs with their 8$ Starbucks drinks and they don't have a tenth of the real world experience that I do nor do they give a shit about medicine and humanity, they just like the perceived status and wealth, yet they will be the ones who get in, not me.
Fuck this gay world, fuck humanity, it's over.

>>15410704
Why didn't you focus on your GPA first instead of clinical experience? You can always get more experience but GPA stays with you.

>>15410722
I had dual enrollment credits from highschool that were less than a 3 so I was already setting myself up for failure. I got a C in genchem 1, I got an A in genchem 2, and I got a C+ in organic 1, and an A- in general biology. I think my science GPA is higher than my cGPA. I did focus on my GPA, and I got a fucking 3.3

>>15410722
Me when the fact that it is over and I will never get accepted to medical school and I will also always be alone and never be happy sets in

>>15410725
>I did focus on my GPA, and I got a fucking 3.3
I don't want to be mean to you but if you get a 3.3 with your upmost effort, that's not a good look. Change your study habits now.
>>15410726
It's not over yet. And besides, you need to stop putting medicine on a pedestal. Your life isn't over if you're not a doctor.

>>15410729
>>I don't want to be mean to you but if you get a 3.3 with your upmost effort, that's not a good look. Change your study habits now.

>>15410729
>stop putting medicine on a pedestal
I'm not putting it on a pedestal it's just working in healthcare is genuinely fun and exciting and the world isn't going to let me pursue it because I suppose I am too retarded to get A's.

>>15410704
Why do you want to do what you want to do specifically? Genuinely curious

Yes but why are you so adamant over it to the point of suicide if you fail to do so

>>15410739
Because what will I do then? I'm not able to find love, and medicine is the only thing that makes that OK, I'm content with not finding love if I can just do medicine. So I would be a lonely loser lab tech or something and I'd off myself from the loneliness and I would hate being a lab tech.

>>15410731
>I'm not putting it on a pedestal it's just working in healthcare is genuinely fun and exciting and the world isn't going to let me pursue it because I suppose I am too retarded to get A's.
You can't say you're not putting it on a pedestal if you're feeling suicidal over the prospect of not getting in. I'm just saying that there is more to life to than medicine, being a doctor is just a job.

>>15410742
>being a doctor is just a job.
I guess I don't see it that way. There are other things besides medicine I enjoy, but nothing as much as medicine. Idk if I should even be applying next cycle. I wish I didn't even start being premed, I knew in my heart when I was a senior in highschool that I didn't have what it takes to succeed academically, but I went along anyways because that's what you're supposed to do.

>>15410744
And now I'm here with a 3.3 while all these ethots and indians get 4-0s seemingly without any effort

>>15410748

Why are you singling out Indians for achieving academically?

>>15410751
Just because it is dominated by Indians where I am at least. I'm often the only white guy in the room at these premed events.

>>15410748
Look into postbacc programs specifically tailored for people with bad GPAs. They might actually clamor to take you as the only white guy just for appearance's sake.

>>15410757
Maybe ask the Indians for studying tips? Obviously, there's something wrong with your studying habits if you're only getting a 3.3 with all your efforts. You need to get better at studying if you hope to even do the MCAT, which is what you need to do extremely well on to make up for your GPA.

>>15410762
Idk, I don't think that will even fix it at this point. Society doesn't want me.

>You need to get better at studying if you hope to even do the MCAT, which is what you need to do extremely well on to make up for your GPA.
I don't know how to get better at studying. I am able to remember a great deal of information but I guess I'm bad at problem solving, hence why I do good in biology courses and bad in organic chemistry. I think it is just over and I need to KMS. There is no solution. It just gets more competitive every year. I hate this country and I hope China nukes us

>>15410741
Perhaps you need to take a break anon. You should take some time off and try and fix yourself before you fix others and I mean that in the most loving way possible bro

You should read the Bible and out your faith in Jesus Christ. Society and people may reject you but Jesus would never reject you. He died for you. For your soul and your sins.

The latter only requires high school. If you were slightly above average in high school and college, that is probably enough. A MD is a MD.

I was there too. A lot of being poignant in academic affairs is not breaking down selfobject relations and making incrementally small wins. Confidence is competance.

I was originally getting Cs in precalculus in high school and I turned it around and got accepted to a US top 3 school as a white guy from a working class background.

You have to want it.

I'm not asking for treatment advice here, but medically speaking why does all the muscle pain and stiffness occur several vertebra above the site of my T12 injury, rather than at the site itself? I fucked it up while climbing a few years ago but it typically feels fine, the issues occur between and slightly below my shoulder blades

>>15403334
Got better. Hoping that these fuckers won't comeback or it's repeat of mebendazole and then most likely trip to hospital (prolly for manual removal if not for more antiparasitics). Why did I have to be such a retard to undercook chicken and eat raw fish?

I've never understood this. You're going to age regardless. If you're going to age, you might as well go to medical school while you're at it. I hope that makes sense.

One of my professors in my undergrad is actually an MS1 right now. She wanted to go to medical school and she just went ahead and did it because that's what she wanted to do.

if i bought an ultrasound machine what kind of stuff could i diagnose with it (even very crudely)

putting an x-ray in my house is obviously impractical, but I've seen people get alot of mileage out of ultrasounds, I'm just wondering how far I could take it

how dangerous is it to biopsy your own muscle tissue, and is there a way to prevent yourself from going into shock?

Any fellow rad techs/ radiographers in this thread? My question is how many general x-ray examinations do you perform on average in an 8 hour shift? I work in private radiology practice, not a hospital. I used to average around 32-40 exams per day but since my company introduced an automated bookings system, it's consistently over that number. I did 52 motherfucking general exams today and I'm starting to think being a slave in ancient Rome must have been better than this shit. When I do CT I usually average between 25 - 30 exams being that exams are 15 minute appointments and I get 30 minutes for lunch. 30 CT scans is luxury compared to 52 general x-rays. What are your average numbers? Is my rage justified or am I just turning into a pussy who can't hack it anymore?

Ignorant med student guess: You have muscles above that are innervated by T12.
So the muscles in question are a little above, but the cables connect to the spine a little lower.
Pain is carried by the STT tract, so normally you only get problems below if you have a lesion, with everything above the lesion unaffected. I'm guessing you either just took some direct non-nerve damage above T12, or some muscle above just happens to connect there

You sound like a spoiled brat. Anons have given you good advice, but clearly you just want attention. Grow up and realise that you either need to work harder or need to move on.

How do neurologists and psychiatrists decide which disorders are "organic" and which are "functional"? For example, functional tics are considered an entirely different entity from Tourette syndrome. Yet if you look at what's known of the mechanism of Tourette syndrome, it's a bunch of handwavey "we think this circuit / nucleus is involved", which is about as much as you can say for many disorders considered to lack an organic cause.

Honestly I think chronic fatigue syndrome is real and it may represent the same / similar disease entity as long covid. It's basically been proven that EBV causes multiple sclerosis, which has a very similar set of symptoms. Stranger things have happened. Are some of these people suffering from conversion disorder or factitious disorder? Probably, but I can't imagine it's all of them.

Meh.
If you didn't have any noticeable symptoms before someone remarked on it, I wouldn't worry about it that much. Check if your tongue/nails are also pale, I guess. Double-check if you have a vagina also, I'm told that's a risk factor. Some of those bleed and everything, it's a whole deal.

It's really fucking hard, so basically train your humility until you get to the point of understanding that the people writing this garbage have a thousand times more training than you do, and they still produce steaming piles of shitty methodology and dubious statistics.
So there's a pretty low chance you'll be able to spot anything that wasn't already obvious just by scrolling through an article for 2 minutes.

The trap is that this is actually hard, and people want simple solutions. They want to feel like they're smart enough to have a useful opinion on a paper that's not in their field, despite not having any of the relevant foundations or background. Sadly, you cannot do that without being a crackpot.

TL;DR: Study, you overconfident punk. Read a book, eat your vegetables. Don't try to run before you can crawl.

What are the things to look for in septoplasty? I’d need one and I want to do the most modern minimally invasive procedure method out there.

They cut out cartilage, clip it with a set of pliers and reinsert it, it's on of the most straight forward surgeries there is, just get an experienced surgeon and you'll be fine. It's almost by default a minimally invasive procedure, you could even do it under local anesthesia only if you're really concerened for complications.

functional/conversion disorders are just weird, they don't fit the patterns. objective findings are inconsistent and you can't place the lesion in a particular circuit or nucleus
there's many more clues like scans, who the patient is and previous history

Rad resident here. The fucking amount of studies we've been doing is ridiculous. Easily getting 100 studies in a 9 hour shift with two other residents and an attending working.

Can someone actually working as a resident or attending help me?

Just how the fuck do you do all this shit? I understand medicine is all about patterns, remembering the same shit and reading the pattern in the patient. However, I'm in a pediatrics infectology rotation and i see kids fucked by complications. pneumonia with congenital heart disease, pneumonia with end stage renal failure, with hypertension etc. pneumonia with hepatosplenomegaly down syndrome hypothyroidism etc. All these guys with a dozen meds to take, so many doctors seeing them etc.


How the fuck do you keep track of all this shit, how do you memorize it, how do you memorize 20 of these patients if all day you're filling paperwork, giving them procedures etc so they dont die? At what time am I supposed to learn about them, and at what time am I supposed to learn about the disease? When do I sleep? I can't take serious anyone who tells me they wake up at 1am. to study, sleep is like pissing and I certainly don't want to get the sleep equivalent of uremia.

Don't know don't care. Floor grunts are cringe.
>When do I sleep?
I personally fall asleep as soon as my shift ends. Which is around 18:00hs. Drink a glass of whiskey. I turn off my phone so I don't receive any notification from those counts I dislike and then wake up around 01:00hs to catch up in the next day.

Chiropractors are good at dealing with chronic pain as well as vague somatoform complaints.

People who work or worked as PhDs at Emory I have personal relationships with provided me with letters of reccomendation on top of the MDs and PhDs who wrote me letters from my undergrad. I had to prove to these Emory folks that I was academically worth the recommendation mind you, which worked out because I've worked very hard to get on the path to become a physician. I know nepotism infers something is handed to you, but I just got lucky to have those connections.

>I had to prove to these Emory folks that I was academically worth the recommendation mind you, which worked out because I've worked very hard to get on the path to become a physician. I know nepotism infers something is handed to you, but I just got lucky to have those connections.
Yeah, that's not really nepotism. You have connections and you used them to your advantage. I only got a recommendation for a physician (he's actually an infectious diseases doctor too) because my mom knew him. I assume you have the GPA and MCAT to back your stuff up.
It would be nepotism if your family donated millions to Emory and your GPA and MCAT was like a 2.0 and 488.

Both my parents work for the public health services of my country. By instituting law I leap into the priority list at the job offerings, regardless of how skilled the other physicians are. I am a year away from finishing my spec and taking what is rightfully mine. Been wishing for that moment since I decided to study medicine, which was around fifteen years old. Around that same age I started to figure out how society worked and witnessed with crippling helplessness how I got marginalized from things I knew were mine.
Now I am thirty years old. Picked anesthesia because that is what I legit enjoy but also because it’s the spec that will allow me to meet my sworn enemies at their most vulnerable.

Institutional inneratia alone is going to prevent any serious replacement in the near future. It's going to implemented the same way similiar tech has been implemented, same as dosing shedules or symptom databanks or what not, it's not going to speed up the most time consuming process (outside of paperwork) of having to interact with patient to get the proper information out of them in the first place and running diagnostics. Having another tool to double check your work is fine and usefull, but the most serious impact I can see it having would be actually streamlining paperwork and freeing up countless work hours in the process. I'd say the push for more NP-type shit is a much more acute issue to physicians than any near future LLM implementation in healthcare

Any idea why I still keep feeling so aggravated by any notion of job when I literally want to go back to working (even just half time)? I didn't work for several months after I quit, because I felt horrible every day I worked in spite of low pressure and decent pay, but it was mostly driven from how sick and lethargic parasites made me

>>15427160
Everytime i see one of those "LLM's" are going to replace doctor comments, i wish i could place one of those dudes at the front of the emergency department and see him deal with every single patient using just GPT 4 and prompt engineering. LLM's don't help a single thing with the most missed diagnosis (strokes, heart attacks, appendicitis etc..), nor do they help with paper work. A better google search maybe (?), i'd rather just use uptodate if i don't remember an exact treatment plan or the full differential diagnosis.

I'm lazy and retarded (adhd), but I was mainly just exhausted from how much extertion infection put on my body (+ constantly getting sick from god knows what) and to this day I still couldn't get rid of all of them (pyrantel and mebendazole helped, but I still see them fairly regularly in shit and symptoms keep coming back after a while and some new ones like severe malabsorption(I gained a lot of weight at first which made me reject idea of having them)/agonizing muscle rigidity/spasms are to say the least a bit worrisome) so maybe I need to deworm fully to be able to get over this although I'm worried it's associative learning fucking me over (feeling shit due to guts filled with worms while at work = feeling shit by just being at work)

The most likely cause of this is Vitamine B1 deficiency, which would explain both the high lactate and pyruvate (due to disruption of pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction for which B1 is an essential co-enzyme). The burning pain in the muscles is from nerve damage. I'd suggest buying some supplements at your pharmacy and see if your symptoms resolve in time. 95% of 4chan has low vit D so that doesn't mean anything.

do i just need to be more rude/authoritative when performing as it seemed they listened to the attending doctor much better than me? how do you balance the line between firm/keeping the visit on time and being too rude?

>>15410704
you know I would feel bad for you but your iq genetics filtered you. Should've had unlimited prescriptions of amphetamines if those girls were beating you with starbucks and high iq.

Give them you phone with video of subway surfer playing.


Jokes aside, what do attendings do to be more authoritative?

Im in 5th year in france and i feel like i know nothing, i could easily pass this years exam but i decided to repeat my 5th. Its incredible how easy it would be for someone that knows so little like me to become a doctor, i dont trust GPs anymore. In france the first year is the hardest and since i come from a poor uneducated family it felt reaaaally difficult but looking back even the 1st year isnt that hard. Just feels like there ks no need for thinking in med, like real hard problem solving. I just spit out learned patterns, anyway.

What fellowship programs can a FM resident get into?

France has a really high rate of amenable mortality reduction, so something must be right about how medicine is done in there.

Have a small lipoma behind my navel, doc says not to touch it. Why do benign fatty tumors like that form?

>>15429718
Because god doesn't love you

>>15429734
We were talking about medical school and he said I wasn't gonna make shit as an infectious disease specialist, but I told him that it's basically me getting an M.D. form of a Ph.D. and he thought that was a good path.

>>15401851
Not an expert but that has already happened IIRC, so yes

>>15429718
DNA damage causes cells to proliferate and not want to die. Also, lipomas are frequently seen in fatasses. Are you a fatass?

>>15430205
No, I'm 6'1 and 175lbs.

YOU LYIN' TO ME BOY!? YOU BETTER NOT BE OR I'LL GET YA!

>>15430404

why does she have googly eyes? to show she is retarded?

>>15430626
Yes and notice the empty stare of the nurse, signifying the lack of intelligence, as is typical.

>>15430348
No, lmao. She's married to some cuck and the surgeon is married to an OBGYN.

I hear people talk all sorts of shit while I pretend to work or study.

Do you really need to ask this question? I am assuming you are about ~22 years old or so.

What does it mean when I feel vertigo, my head feels heavy, I start getting an increasingly loud buzzing in my ear and my hearing becomes muffled during periods of intense stress?

>>15430827
Oh also head pain and nausea, sometimes leading to vomiting

This happens to me
Interesting info
I sometimes get 70-80% hearing loss in one ear but usually it seems random, not stress activated

>>15430826
>I am assuming you are about ~22 years old or so.
Wrong

>>15430312
I'm ain't lying suh. My theory is that since I lift heavy shit every day for work, that 'lipoma' is actually my organs squishing through degraded muscle tissue.

>>15430984
You are confusing hernia with lipoma.

>>15430833
i have an idea. go to the doctor.
