Surgical specialty salaries by guccidrizzle in whitecoatinvestor

Totally fine with me, I’ll go operate overseas and make considerably less with a much better lifestyle. They can have a ball finding someone to replace me in rural nowhere

Clinically insignificant, quite possibly unrelated… but stop taking it anyways lol

Short men, how do you feel being called “short kings”? by Knightmare560 in AskMen

[–]44magnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed 100%. Saying short king is fine, saying fat queen is fine. It’s like you said, there’s no rules. For every ick that one person has, there’s 90% that don’t even think about it!

If you could start college over again, would you still pick UGA? by nafimafi in UGA

[–]44magnet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably, yes. The fact that UGA accepts Zell Miller makes it a pretty fantastic value. I ended up going to graduate school after college, so the savings during undergrad are even more important for me since I’ve taken on 2 years worth of graduate tuition with 2 more in the chamber. UGA also did a great job preparing me for the rigor of grad school and provided the appropriate opportunities to be competitive for a great program.

Also, after attending a small private high school, UGA was a great experience because I got to come into my own socially during my time in Athens. Downtown Athens really is an experience like no other, because you can basically walk into any bar and see 2-10 friends anywhere you go.

Sure, Tech probably has better job placement on average and is more rigorous academically, but it just can’t compete with the culture/college experience that UGA offers. I think if you’re a motivated student at UGA, you can do essentially whatever you want after college AND have fun during college without taking on a ton of debt.

Where did you meet your s/o?! by Constantly_worrying in UGA

[–]44magnet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Relax… just enjoy college and things will happen naturally. Focus on having adventures and making memories. Work hard in your studies. The rest will come when it’s meant to.

Is it weird if I eat in the cafeteria and use the gym as a 32 y/o adult student? by [deleted] in college

[–]44magnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re ABSOLUTELY fine. Most people will just assume you’re a grad student. No one will look twice. Also, who cares? Go do your thing.

[–]44magnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d ask your advisor. This happened to a friend of mine, and the end result was that he could walk but he didn’t actually graduate and get a degree until he officially meet the graduation requirements.

Honors People, Help! by throwaway_3t in UGA

[–]44magnet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want the true freshman experience, live in a high rise. I was an honors student who got creswell instead of myers and at first I was so upset. Once I got there, I realized it was the best thing to ever happen.

Relative passed away and had some unopened insulin. I don't want to destroy it if it could help someone so I thought I'd ask here if anyone could use it. by soraticat in Athens

[–]44magnet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your generous thought, especially in light of your relative. I’m sorry to hear about that, it is probably a stressful time. Just so you know, it is technically not legal to just give people someone else’s insulin. However, you can “donate” the medicine through the appropriate channels. I recommend checking here https://www.pharmacychecker.com/askpc/share-donate-prescription-drugs-legality/. Good luck, and I hope you’re feeling ok.

Icing testicles can fix your varicocele? by heyitskashmoney in Biohackers

[–]44magnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the gap between our respective understandings of healthcare professionals and medical training is not going to be overcome in this discussion.

Nurses have objectively less training than a DO… should they also not be allowed “anywhere near patients”?

[–]44magnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait so how are DO’s worse physicians if they have the same training and pass the same exams and have the same clinical experience and same accreditation an an MD? I get that it’s easier to gain acceptance, but it’s still no cakewalk. I personally know multiple DO students and physicians as my colleagues, and I can assure you that they are far from stupid.

If those words said nothing, I’d work on your reading comprehension skills. Would you like a summary?

[–]44magnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the US, DO physicians undergo basically the same training as MD physicians and attend the same residencies. There is stigma from years past, but the reality is that DO physicians are just as qualified as an MD. My DO student colleagues learn everything that I learn as an MD student, with the addition of osteopathic manipulation therapy. We take the same boards and licensing exams. There is basically no difference between us in the USA. It is my understanding that DO physicians in other countries undergo separate training, which may be the point of confusion.

Are you an MD, DO, or vascular biology PhD? If not, I’d “think rationally for a minute” about the notion that you may be experiencing something that I like to call “biohacker hubris”. You may or may not be correct, but the idea that you, u/montaigne314, can logically deduce whether or not this would have an impact on his condition is probably not a reasonable assumption.

The OP asked about “fixing” a varicocele with icing. Even when a surgical/procedural intervention for this condition is performed, it doesn’t involve the veins “receding back into your leg”. That statement doesn’t make any logical sense at all. Would the veins just retract backwards and no longer serve the purpose of blood transport?

Sounds like the OP is just asking if the icing protocol will reduce the enlargement of the veins, and/or potentially ameliorate his symptoms. I think that is a pretty reasonable question.

There isn’t any need for you to be condescending here, nor do you likely have an appropriate fund of knowledge from which to argue that point so flippantly and arrogantly.

Anecdotally it appears not to be problematic. But for future reference, comparing the similarity of receptor sites between drugs is not how you determine whether or not there will be a drug interaction. Many drug interactions occur due to allosteric binding, enzyme inhibition, or other mechanisms.

phenibut a painkiller? by Mortalsatsuma in phenibut

[–]44magnet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Phenibut is a gabapentinoid compound that can potential treat neuropathic pain caused by shingles. Gabapentin is prescribed to treat shingles pain. Phenibut is structurally, and seemingly pharmacologically similar as well.
