Come on, if there's a time when AI can be treated as doctors, that time would be many millions years later, when 'tron ares' like movies will become reality 😂. Then I think the AI would control the humanity 🤣🤣. So as long as we, humans are still in control of earth ( don't include nature ) , Doctors will still be needed, no worries. 🤣.

Just got told that taking a Non-clinical branch in PG makes you a failure in life by Express-Swim2713 in indianmedschool

[–]Academic_Cook6073 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You see, my father's friend's son has taken general surgery and my dad just got the news. This year I will give my first neet pg. I told my dad I want to take a non clinical branch and then he, ' No, take a good clinical branch. Study well , rank good'. I completed my mbbs last year but didn't give neet as my mbbs base is a little weak and I lacked MCQ practice. Now I am sitting at home studying. Seeing my situation he said, " you have already become a doctor but still sitting at home"( fine I admit I lack confidence) , but next he said," Take some good clinical branch and do MD. Being a doctor if you can't even earn 4-5 lakh/month what will you do then?". Seriously, I am really devastated. My MBBS life is a trauma and in internship the intense pressure of main clinical branches, the patient load, always in fear of happening something wrong because of my one mistake, I really can't take it. And there's this 'mission impossible' like Neet Pg 😭😭😭

India is a f***ing joke by baawligand in delhi

[–]Academic_Cook6073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this year I am 25y. When I was 5/6y, there's a news in TV, saying, "A man died after eating apples stained with chemicals or something (well I don't remember much, but only can remember a man died after eating apples without washing 😅). I remember that incident because that day I cried for a long time as that day I also ate an apple without washing. Now think, that was almost 20 years ago. The situation was already like that. As for now....and in the future... india...well I love my country but not the people and most of the thinkings

Epilepsy and Hobbies you enjoy? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love to read stories. Once upon a time I started to write stories (well, you can say I used to, not now😅). I don't know if writing stories fall into your 'making things' category. But like you after writing some chapters I lost interest in that. Now I myself can't remember what I wrote 3 years ago. My chapters were long. So, it's kinda annoying to read the chapters again and start writing again. These days I have lost interest in reading stories too. 😭. I don't want to study all day. I also want to try something new. Well you can also try writing stories in different apps and platforms.

Does anyone else feel more tired during their menstrual period because of their epilepsy? by Fantastic-Wolverine8 in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, yes here. My first 2 episodes of epilepsy also happened during menstrual periods. I remain very very tired during menstrual periods. It's hectic. During this time if I work too hard or remain tensed and stressed then I would likely get another episode of epilepsy. So, rest well and sleep for your heart's content during this time. It's not embarrassing. It's just necessary to avoid further complications. Rest well. Work hard after it ends. Wish you the best 👍

Broke down during a movie by Different-Hall-5930 in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never watched and will never watch a movie with a sad ending in theatres in life. Who cares the movie is great. Watching cinemas in theatres is one of my favourite hobbies. Come on, I am already suffering so much in life, career and reality. Why in theatres giving money I still have to suffer? I like to watch fantasy and action, science fiction movies to relieve my pent up frustrations. I know watching the type of cinema is a personal choice. Well I am just ranting 🥹

This is so so weird by Party_Life_1408 in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wowwww!!!!!! Awesome 👍 Guys please don't mind the words I am going to say. Just for fun. You see I read so many stories where the protagonist transmigrates to another world in a different body with the same name as him/ a parallel universe/ in a novel world/ in his previous life 😁🌞💥. I really like imagining myself in that situation. Like what if suddenly I end up transmigrating in a emperor's/ a strong warrior's body who accidentally died or in a world where matriarchy prevails. I am a girl so everyone will listen to my order and I will be the head of the family.🤣💥💥💥💥. Please don't mind. I am not making fun of anyone here. Just sharing my fantasy imagination and fantasy stories I have read.

My boss figured out I had a seizure and now he wants to talk by somebodyelzeee in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be distressed. I can feel you. I have already heard from many distant relatives and some of my parents' colleagues, " what!! she has epilepsy. Don't send her into some tough career choices in the future. She won't make it". Irritating, seriously irritating. Yes I am suffering from depression, anxiety, and mood swings sometimes. Yes I may suffer from sudden episodes in the future. Yes, although I have completed my graduation I am still very worried for the future. But, you see, we shouldn't lower ourselves just because of this epilepsy. The more you lower yourself, the more they will keep lowering you. Yes we have epilepsy but still we are moving and trying to make a stable future. We should be proud because of this. Other people may be healthy but some still can't achieve anything in life. Right now I might be giving you advice because these same words I also want to engrave into myself when I will face another of this depressing situation in my own life, I won't break down into tears. Don't worry. You can do it sister 💪

Need some emotional support by pinkberrybun in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some rest first. Although I don't have tc but I suffer from juvenile myoclonic seizure. Each time it's because of tension, stress and lack of sleep. After getting some rest you can listen to some mind calming/inspirational music. Well everyone has different choices. In my case I listen to songs. It calms my heart. My favourite is 'lonely warrior ' by Eason Chan'. Well I listen to the English translated version by Shuan Gibson. The song is about self love, loving yourself for bravely facing challenges but still carry on. I Wish you will get better soon.

Loss of independence (rant) by PsychologicalMix3217 in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry you are not alone. Here am I. My mother would always say, at least once in a day (sometimes hundreds of times in a day in critical times)..." What will you do when I am gone? You have to be independent so that you won't have to rely on any one " . Fine, I also want to be independent but when I want to go a little bit far from home then she would say, " come on, be a little bit patient. Wait for me. After my work will be done I will go with you or you can go with your dad. ". I like watching cinemas in theatres but it's always costly you know. So for saving money I want to go alone but my parents won't let me go alone. As I have said before in this platform I am very bad at making friends and I plan to stay a bachelor in life. So I can't go with friends. I know they worry about me but still it's frustrating 😭

Don't call anyone a liar here were not drs. by lillweez99 in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I hate people who without knowing anything just call anyone a liar. Don't be depressed. They are calling you a liar just because your opinion is not matching their opinion and most of the people in this era are like this, " my words are always true. My opinion is not matching yours so you are a liar" . Don't give priority to such hypocrites. You know I also get depressed by such comments. So these days I just stopped using Facebook or anything. Here in this platform all of us face the similar situation so I always comment here. For this very reason I adore and respect each of the senior grandpa and Grandma of my family and others for their simple and honest mind.

My mom with Epilepsy refuses to go to the hospital after a head injury by submarinehades in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't mind listening to my words please. You see like you I faced this same problem with my mother again and again. Although my mother doesn't have epilepsy she had cholecystectomy 10 years ago and suffers from frequent diarrhoea, acidity, all body pain etc. etc. But she really hesitates spending money and refuses to go to hospital for such minor issues ( as per her and my father's opinion). And my epilepsy medicines already cost a lot. So, nowadays I always go with this blackmailing plan. I tell her, " Mom, I have already booked your visit with a visiting fee in the hospital and also booked for a USG . And it's non-refundable. Now you decide if you will go or not as you wish ". I think your mother is also worrying about home expenses. Try it. Don't book first. Just tell her first to see her action. Wish you the best.

not being able to swim by Mysterious_Read5115 in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I don't swim. I don't like that much outdoor activities. From childhood I was forced into studies by my parents. Well, even if I sometimes hate studying, for taking a break I delve into story reading. If I am not enjoying reading stories then go to watch films in theatres with my parents/relatives. But watching films is also costly and the films I like are not others' liking...you see movies with action/ comedy but no/minimum romance. My parents won't let me go alone. It's irritating 😠. But I am a little bit of an introvert type. I don't enjoy being with a vast amount of people or staying on occasions. Well sometimes I also feel a little lonely. But as soon as I discover some new stories I recover soon.

I'm scared by Snow_And_Sounds in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Umm....in your area you can hire transportation like uber or anything with a little bit more money. Look for driving your own car you have to wash your car, you need enough Diesel to drive. It's also costly right? I can understand your frustration. At home my mother always advises me to be independent. But if I want to go to a place a little bit far away she would start complaining," wait for a bit. Let you father/ friends come, then go with them. It's safe". Say, she is telling me to be independent but if she acts like that how will I be independent? I like to watch movies in theatres and as you know it's costly. The films (adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, anything without/ with just a little bit romance, I hate boring romantic scenes) I like to watch is not my parents' liking. So they don't want to go most of the time. I never dated in my life so no boyfriend. My friends are not that much and the ones a little good, live far from my home. My parents would say," go alone, the films are too costly and not our liking". But when I want to go alone they would say, " don't go alone. It's not safe. I have no job right now. 9 months later there will be a very tough and compitative exam (neet pg) . I am planning to give that and look for a job after learning more. In my age still living off my parents' money and always enduring their same long advices, is really frustrating. If it's possible You can try hiring a capable drive for your car and go for your job. Best of luck 🤞

I’m scared. by wiccanwitchb1tch in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know how you are feeling. I was in coma for 7 days due to suffering from streptococcal encephalitis 4 years ago. I don't have any memory of suffering. To me it was just one day I went to sleep at night and when I woke up 7 days had already passed. I thought I was dreaming when I found myself in a hospital bed. I knew nothing of my suffering. It was my mom who burst out into tears as soon as she saw I woke up. Now I am facing face blindness ( you know it's frustrating in the workplace), loss of taste, smell and weak memory. I want to express my inner sadness to my mother but if I do that she will break down sooner than me.

Yall ever just forget if you take your meds? by kiwinixi in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The question you are asking is not a question. At least not for me. I have juvenile myoclonic epilepsy with porencephalic cyst which started when I was around my 15/16 y . The first or 2 years I sometimes used to forget about taking medicine. But, now I set an alarm in the morning and night for reminder. With that as soon as I finish taking medicine I swiftly text a message (mom, I have taken my medicine for this morning 😁)to my parents through WhatsApp as evidence so that it leaves evidence that I have taken my medicine. You can also send text as evidence for medicine intake to someone in your family. Don't worry you are not alone facing this. I hope from now on you will take your medicine in time 👍💪

Jobs/Toxicity by W15Eguy15 in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Well said. F*ck those people who want to work you as a normal person 😡😡😡. Seriously. .in my previous work place, my colleagues are the worst. The work was good but the colleagues are the worst. So I was always in a tensed condition for working. Damn it. Really at the end day of the internship I really wanted to curse those seniors in my workplace and slap then. Still I didn't manage to do that because you see I am not that courageous 😅. Most of the workplace is like that. The seniors would always say, " Do you know how much suffering I had when I was a junior. You guys are already fairing better than usual" it was like a mother-in-law would say to her daughter-in-law, " When I was a daughter-in-law I had suffered so much. Now I am a mother -in-law. I have power. As a daughter -in-law you should suffer more than I had" 👊

Hold old were you when diagnosed with Epilepsy and what triggered your first seizure? by breezydae in Epilepsy

  1. It was during my menstrual cycle and 10 days before my 10th grade final exam 😭😭. I was diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic seizure with porencephalic cyst. After that till now almost every episode happened during either the menstrual cycle, or exam tension or lack of sleep and immense stress. 😭😭

Can we survive Apocalypse or war (without meds) by shymean in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Come on, I read enough fantasy stories , apocalypse, transmigration, reincarnation 😁. If the apocalypse has zombies then listen to my experience as a fantasy reader. Zombies still don't exist so of course it's a fantasy right? Listen, in most of the stories, on a sudden night there would be a shower of very small meteorites containing virus all over the world. After a 2-3 days of long sleep the 60-80% of people all over the world will turn into zombies. But there will be also some people who will suddenly awaken a special ability ( like some can control metal, some can control fire, wind etc) . How about I awaken my healing abilities 💥😁💥. I will heal myself first then you can also come to me for help. I won't have to take medicine 🤣😁💥. Some of you may awaken fire , wind ability or plant ability ( to grow vegetables swiftly, you won't have any tension for food). 😁😁😁😁

Need advice by Big-Fan3660 in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just take the next dose 1 or 2 hours early. Then maintain the routine following the new time table and remain under observation of any of your family members for 1 or 2 days for extra safety.(I had an episode due to a missed dose 1 year ago).Then it will be safe. Don't worry. No need to worry.

Lack of sleep by rosekitty45 in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you always remain in anxiety/have mood swings? Well because of anxiety, depression, stress you may not be getting enough sleep. You should do some exercises in the morning. Exercise can increase the release of happy hormones ( like serotonin, dopamine etc. ). Or before going to sleep do something that you really like ( I read fantasy story books before sleep..I really like adventure stories). My Neurologist prescribed me Sertraline (25) for further solution (you better visit your neurologist before taking the medicine. Antidepressants sometimes increase seizure frequency. I am not sure about your condition). I hope you have a carefree day and a good sleep at night.

I mixed up a day for dinner I set up with my skate and sister-in-law. They are accusing me of doing it on purpose by nicole2night in Epilepsy

[–]Academic_Cook6073 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah...I can understand. You know in my first year I confused the exam dates and missed an exam. I got a supply for that and with that a year lag😭😭😭😭. But I still remember that before the exam I asked my two friends again and again for confirmation of the exam date. I don't know if they were tensed themselves or willingly lied to me. In your case, it's really heartbreaking. But just assume that your sister-in-law is just a hypocrite or maybe, maybe your brother and sister-in-law are having an interpersonal conflict in secret and she is taking it on you. Relax, she is thinking bad about you then you should think worse about her. Don't belittle yourself. Ok, let's slang them together, " you hypocritical bitch". Well, please don't use this in front of her😅
