researching a dr for umbilical hernia repair.
laproscopic seems like a bad idea, because you're just putting more holes in the peritoneum. those are more failure points for potential hernias later on, no? compared to just one incision that a mesh is put over.

It's not the number of holes that matter, but the size. In lap the holes are barely a few mm wide, which are easily sutured up, heal quickly, and are far too small for abdominal contents to herniate through. In an open procedure with a midline incision, you get a hole several cm long that compromises the integrity of the rectus sheath, thus putting it at higher risk for herniation.

>I don't like that there's not a universal consensus
I hate to break it to you, but there almost never is a universal consensus when it comes to medicine, because everyone's anatomy and physiology is different in the subtlest ways. That's why for doctors a lot of their expertise depends on critical thinking skills and experience, rather than just bookish knowledge alone. It's why their training period is so long compared to that of other professionals.

In any case, you should expect your surgeon to:
- clearly define your diagnosis with reference to the tests or scans they've done
- educate you about the disorder, what the underlying pathology or structural abnormality is, the prognosis etc.
- offer you various treatment options including the choice to not do anything about it, the pros and cons of each, the outcomes of patients treated before, and what could potentially go wrong

This last part is where the subjectivity comes in, because there are so many factors in play even between similar studies. The doctor would recommend a particular course of action not because it's scientifically been proven to be flawless, but because he/she would have observed that it has the highest benefit to risk ratio, corroborating with observations published by other doctors

At the end of the day it's entirely your own choice on how to proceed, but make sure the doctor you see is fully transparent with you throughout the process and takes the time to addresses your questions and concerns in a way that benefit you.

Second year in a Muslim country again.
Our community medicine professor supposedly fainted (... or, in their words, fell, rolled his eyes and started speaking in tongues) and students are saying it's because he criticized visiting shrines as a medical treatment in class for first years.

I haven't asked the more extreme ones. Most of them seem to think that praying/cupping/visiting shrines/herbal stuff works, but they wouldn't prescribe them to patients for a reason they can't identify, opting for EBM instead. Classical presentation of compartmentalization. The more extreme ones might suffer the same cognitive dissonance, or maybe only prescribe these treatments when they get a private practice.
I'm still optimistic that most of them will forgo this hideous ideology or at least compartmentalize so hard they'll be mildly competent practitioners, but not researchers, by the time we're done with med school.
Most people in my country are illiterate/sub-6th grade reading level and very religious so they wouldn't blame a doctor for using prophetic medicine. Physicians do get killed/asked blood money all the time though.

Oh, and almost every doctor here has an anecdote about a colleague who was prosecuted (either through the legal system or tribal law, usually the latter) over "killing" a patient despite being innocent. One that comes to mind is the formula of a pediatrician blamed for treating a child poisoned by a nondescript herbal mixture that later dies in his care. Between the witch-doctor who had been a reputable source of knowledge in her community for decades and a physician in his late 20s who doesn't know what the femur is called in his native language, it's obvious who killed the kid.

I'm going to hope you're not trolling and will answer your question. Yes we do attempt to educate our rural populations about the dangers of consanguineous marriages, but so far it has been difficult because of access and social acceptability issues. Basically a lot of them think that it's fake news because how come they can't see the diseases we're talking about.
However, by highlighting the growing problem of thalassemia in relation to inbreeding, we're making better progress in reaching out to the general population. This is because thalassemia is a) very common in society, with a beta thal trait present in 5% of the population, and b) a disease that manifests with physiological symptoms.
This is something I think is very important in the sphere of public health: raising awareness about an epidemic among backwards communities only works if the above two requirements are met.

You are correct in that there is a ring light and a blood pressure monitor.

Pretty much every scholar before the 18th century (and a majority thereafter) were basically mystics by the broadest definition. To say "modern" medicine" in any reasonable form was invented before the advent of scientific theory seems like a stretch. The heavy lifiting for modern medicine wasn't really done by medieval or early modern physicians, but by the material sciences, chemistry, math etc. I'm not saying these early physicians were quacks or unimportant, but the stuff they got somewhat right and managed to perserve wasn't really the key factor for the development of modern medicine.

Stop glorifying these by the mechanism which isn't even directly responsible for the weight loss. These are just convoluted behavioral modifiers that work by backing their digestive system up so much they can't force it down food anymore so they "feel full" and stop eating so much.

Brainlet doctors and ozempic seeking patients are kindred spirits. That is to say, retards. They think it's new and hot shit. Meanwhile Contrave exists and works better for the portly. This not only makes them less full but they have even less reward for having consumed their slop. The problem is, like drug addicts, compliance. There needs to be a long acting IM injectable for it so they don't have a choice to stop taking it.

Patients 35 and under should honestly just be prescribed one of the two stimulants indicated for obesity and binge eating disorder, assuming they're normal but you can't trust the big ones. I assume they'll go off the rails and end up blaming you for getting them addicted. Still if you had immunity from such reprocussions and there was actually a fat guy who wasn't stupid, then it's the right way to go. Intuitively it makes more sense to speed the metabolism for weight loss rather than slow it down to the point your meals are rotting in your intestines for days.

Depends what you mean by intellectually stimulating. Critical care specialists require logical reasoning and critical thinking skills the most because minute changes in interventions can have major effects on patient outcomes. Surgeons have the best visualisation skill, as they have to remember a ton of anatomy and then apply what they remember when they open a patient up. Radiologists have the highest spatial IQ, because they need to be able to construct 3-D figures in their brain from 2-D images and understand the position and orientation of different body structures.

If you take other mental aptitudes into consideration, like EQ and stress management ability, you often see family medicine and trauma/emergency doctors coming out on top.

i have a follow up with the derm in a month. i have been so anxious about this im just mindbroken. i cant work, i dont eat right, im just so convinced that i have cancer and im going to die. did you know penile cancers that have lymphadenopathy in the pelvic nodes have survival rates of 0% past 5 years in many studies? i can feel them on both sides, clear as day

Not the way things are right now, no.

instead of limping some poor sucker along on stupid expensive medication, you can replace that with cheaper crispr treatments but also at the same time make your money by selling designer crispr treatments for basically genetic engineering. mom and dad to be choose to make their kid male, give their kid broad shoulders 6'x height, well defined jaw and eliminate all those pesky genetic markers or whatever for alzheimers and so on. feels like that would be way more lucrative and fruitful

That's the point of it, the patient has to keep buying the medicines (which aren't near as expensive to produce as they sell for) their whole lives. For gene therapy it's a one-time treatment; once the targeted genes of the patient are changed, the cells would continue to replicate those good genes for the rest of their lives. They won't need any more therapy for that condition, and neither would their offspring.
Developing countries don't stand much of a chance of developing their own crispr technologies either. As with other medical research, it boils down to a lack of laboratory facilities and the brain drain caused by doctors/scientists emigrating to the US in search of greener pastures.
Speaking of offspring, don't you think creating a phenotypically different child to one's self would have a negative psychosocial impact on the child? As in they'd grow up knowing they have no parents, because they're genetically different.

depends how extreme the genetic changes are. if you snipped out the chance to contract a rare genetic disease because your parents have the rare chance of giving it to you, does that make you any less their offspring?

>For gene therapy it's a one-time treatment
only if done to the embryo. otherwise, for say treating disease in kids/adults, i dont think its a one-time treatment

>Developing countries don't stand much of a chance of developing their own crispr technologies either

>> No.16111598

>>16111568
>depends how extreme the genetic changes are
I think that's going to be one of the reasons it'll be held back from being used in embryos in the near future; where would the line be drawn on how much genetic modification is acceptable? Answering this question would require a lot of evidence from experiments on animal models before anything resembling a guideline can be made by a designated body of doctors.

>i dont think its a one-time treatment
By one time treatment, I mean a course consisting of several "doses" to make sure the desired DNA sequence gets to as many of the target adult cells as possible. The genetically altered adult cells would continue to replicate to form more genetically altered cells. Once a certain number of cells have been reached, they will "outcompete" the original cells, and the treatment would be completed. Theoretically, you wouldn't need to undergo another course to keep the effects lasting.

>crispr is supposed to be relatively easy and cheap
It's not so expensive or difficult to carry out the experiments in a test tube; the real difficulty is figuring out how to get it to work in-vivo. There needs to be a feasible and technically sound method to help the crispr genes reach their target cells against the harsh body environment. Last I read about this, there was work being done on using viral vectors implanted with the desired DNA to go directly into the nuclei of cells.

None, because AI cannot take liability for medical errors.
The algorithms and guidelines we currently have are based on observation rather than experimentation, and as it goes humans are a very diverse species that have minute anatomical and physiological differences from person to person. There are many situations where doctors can't find the answers to their clinical queries in textbooks or research papers, and they have to proceed on critical thought. If anything goes wrong, it's also their responsibility to explain themselves in a medical tribunal and take responsibility for their actions. This is something a computer simply cannot do, unless we somehow develop AI to the point where it develops sentience (by which time it won't matter anyways because humans would already have been replaced).

good doctors don't practice like that

guidelines are the bare minimum and are most often not applicable. Patients are way too unique. The proof is in the pudding - if guidelines and algorithms were so important they wouldn't be updated every 5 years (at beast), they'd just have figured it out the first time around. Guidelines constantly being updated also indicates that there is no clear answer anyways.
Also, guidelines are as good as the evidence their based on - and evidence in medicine is garbage.

Not saying capitalists won't replace doctors with AI bots, but unless the AI possesses AGI then human doctors will still be better than just a bot looking at blood work (also often irrelevant) and algorithms
medicine is 80% the patient doctor interaction and 20% all other shit.

Even today, with human doctors we have a lot of algo/guideline brain rot. Muh scores lmao.. bro your score finna be deprecated in 5 years tops

They should do the same for antibiotics. A decent quality unpublished seminar study made by students in our teaching hospital found that 90% of urinary tract staph infections were VRSA.

You should clear the pipes whenever you feel the urge. I made a mistake fucking around with NoFap, now my libido is fucked at 20 years of age and I’m in permanent “flatline” as they call it. I haven’t had proper sexual desires in years now...

That makes sense, but what if it's about delirium inside an ICU? Why are they more likely to die in an ICU compared to someone who is not delirious?

Delirium is sign of a patient decompensating due to an underlying condition, your brain usually doesn't just spazz out for no reason and most delir patients are older people decompensating due to some severe primariy condition, usually something metabolic, neurovascular or simply post-operativley. As for ICU patients, everyone in the ICU has a relativley high mortality rate and every sign of of further decompensation in an ICU patients tends to come with a spike in mortality statistics.
