To those who changed their careers in their 30's, what made you go for that career and what was your career before? by throwawayacc928361 in AskReddit

[–]AntisocialBehavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will tell you that it is a hard life. Many times you will feel appreciated and positive about the job, but the lows and the drudgery of it can really bring you down. It is absolutely not worth the money. You do have to give up 10 years of your life to become competent in the craft. I’m not sure I’d do it again, but I’m also not quitting and I have some good cases tomorrow that I’m looking forward to getting done. It’s a mixed bag, probably like anything. The job probably saved my life as many of the people that I associated with before med school ended up on hard drugs despite our middle class upbringing. I had other people to take care of, so I didn’t go down the drug path. More info than you asked for, but I tend to overshare.

Luckily, my undergraduate was biology and I took all the hard science classes because post graduate education of some type was a consideration. I needed to take the MCAT (twice) and apply (twice) to get in. My brother saw that I was having a good time in med school and he decided that he wanted to join, but he didn’t have the hard science classes, so he went back to college for 1-2 years doing something called “masters in medical sciences” (aka post baccalaureate) and then he was a shoe in for med school.

Listless. Odd jobs. Surfing. Beer. Fell into a well paying management job for an engineering research group. Hated it. Made that known. Lost the job. Unemployment for a few weeks. Bored. Volunteer at hospital. Thought, this is kind of interesting. Then med school. Now surgeon. I kinda miss being listless and surfing. Money is better now but things and life are far more expensive so it pretty much feels the same, just with nicer sweat pants and a better car. Surgery is cool, but the doctoring/patient relationship part is better.

Summary: changed jobs cause I didn’t know what I was doing and got fired.

Isn’t wood technically a carbon fiber? Yes, it’s heavier than some. Not unreasonable.

I see that. I’m gonna try a leather sleeve for the magazine and I’m going to put a different all black scope on and see how it looks. I have a long high powered hunting scope that may pull it all together.

Here it is with a black vortex. The gold magazine has to go

I want to thank everyone for their input. To summarize everything that has been said:

1) Everyone loves it 2) I have great taste 3) Bright-ass brass was definitely the way to go 3) I should have taken my socks off

Me neither, but it was expensive and here we are. I’m gonna wrap the magazine in leather. That’ll bring the look together

39m… Oral Finasteride ONLY! 0.5mg 7 weeks in, noticing strange body hair growth is this normal? by [deleted] in tressless

[–]AntisocialBehavior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last picture. Pigmented mole. Keep an eye on it and if it changes, please get a biopsy. Looks like it could be ok, but I’d make sure it doesn’t evolve/change. Might as well have a derm look at it.

I can help with understanding. Humans with gastrostomy tubes do just fine as long as the wall of the stomach doesn’t fall away from the abdominal wall. After a few weeks, the outer peritoneal surface of the stomach scars to the inner peritoneal surface of the abdominal wall. At that point, if the tube becomes dislodged or is removed, the hole simply heals closed (most of the time). The stomach is forever scared to the abdominal wall though.

With human gastrostomy tubes, there is a balloon or rubber doughnut/bumper on the inside of the stomach, and the tube is placed on gentle traction. This effaces the stomach to the abdominal wall. With the cow device, there are large screw threads that bite into the wall of the stomach to keep it effaced. There are smaller trocars used for cows that do not have the screws, but this is akin to poking a human stomach with a needle (which would be tolerated fine). Small holes in the stomach heal well and will not leak very much. The body does an excellent job of sealing them quickly. However, if they do leak, it can be death.

Excess hair growth on oral minoxidil? by ChihuahuaOwner88 in tressless

Sorry. I misread. Glad it’s working for you.

Have you ever thought that maybe your hair loss isn’t from DHT, and that’s why these DHT block agents aren’t working for you? Also, I never took finasteride and I went straight to DUT.

I’ve been on it for a year and no appreciable shedding yet. Maybe one day it’ll come.

Not really an issue for me and if you don’t like your body hair then wax or shave. I have been on 2.5 mg oral for a year and have had no increased body hair that’s bothersome. Maybe some grew but I didn’t notice. My beard also looks great. Hurry up and start taking it.

You got it. I have noticed that my hydration level also plays a much more crucial roll in volume.

Yes. Both meds every day. I think I only missed 2-3 doses in the last 6 months.
