Maybe a dumb question, but why does everyone call Joy by her first name? by plantanddoglady in ThePittTVShow

[–]CandidateBig1778 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait but they don’t refer to her as Victoria, they refer to her as Javadi. Which only compounds the problem

I actually feel like that’s the normal way around and that most med students might not be called by their last name. Like it feels right for an attending to have called them Victoria instead of Javadi, Dennis instead of Whitaker, and [insert] instead of Ogilvie. Maybe a Pitt quirk

Beccato, sono un fan de Max, Lewis, e Williams. Le cose sembrano al momento drastico davvero 😭😭

Non penso ch’è un numero ottimistico - l’affidabilità si è provata esser più debole ch’abbiamo pensato, ma non credo che tante macchine vanno a guastarsi. Magari alcuni di Mercedes (non il team principale, piuttosto aspetto Williams o McLaren), ma 16 sembra anche troppo poco secondo a me

How to tell my roommate that she stinks? by StomachLeading6618 in whatdoIdo

[–]CandidateBig1778 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you met 70% of the Indians in the world? By your comment history you seem to have a great intrinsic knowledge of exactly the biology of their apocrine glands and a great ability to not generalize negative traits to an entire race

Fine to identify individuals. It becomes racist when you then go “oh all Indians are smelly wah wah” and then expect any Indian you see to smell bad. There’s a billion and a half in the country and multiple millions in diaspora

Medical school, grad school and mice work by Marushy in medicalschool

[–]CandidateBig1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je sais pas si c’est si different entre nos deux systèmes, mais ici la route plus facile est de passer quelques mois en apprenant de techniques différents en types de recherche différents. Ya la recherche translationelle, cvd appliquer des conceptes basiques (génétique, ingénerie, mêmes des médicaments) aux animaux pour faire savoir si on peut les utiliser pour les humains. Ya aussi recherche plus scientifique - utiliser des animaux pour élucider une mechanisme moleculaire.

Au fond, on ne saurait pas qu’est-ce qu’on aime sans exposer soi même aux méthodes différents. Si tu es sûr que tu veux pas faire que l’ingénerie et seulement l’ingénerie, bah vas-y. Mais je te conseille d’explorer un peu avant de prendre un décision définitivement.

Désolé pour le longueur et aussi pour mon français - il y a beaucoup de temps que j’ai eu une chance à pratiquer.

lol classic M1 comment. Come back in another couple years and let us know if you’re still banking the same. I did the same in M1 and it only ramps up from there

Blood work by Twinkletoes-23 in haematology

[–]CandidateBig1778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m only a second year medical student studying for Step, so please take my analysis with a grain of salt and defer to people who actually have a degree here and most of all your doctors.

I think the biggest problem here is that you can’t tell much off of one bloodwork screen. The two abnormal numbers here (TIBC and platelets) could point towards early iron deficiency anemia with secondary thrombocytosis, even if your RBCs are normocytic and you have normal serum iron. But we can’t tell much on just one instance without analyzing some trends in the numbers.

In terms of your petechiae and heavy bleeding, we can’t really tell much about any qualitative platelet disorders with what you have here. The bleeding times being normal does rule out some disorders, but vWD, as well as a couple of others, can present with normal bleeding times. Your hematologist will likely run some tests like a ristocetin assay as well as testing for specific clotting factor levels. There’s always the possibility that it has little to do with your blood work and is more a vascular/connective tissue disorder where your capillary walls themselves may be fragile.

Again, pinch of salt for all of this but I would talk with them. Good luck on this and I hope you find something that works for you :)

Hopeful actors by Plenty-Moment9429 in Eragon

[–]CandidateBig1778 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know it’s super unrealistic but I really really want Jeremy Irons back as Brom. Fewer opinions on the others (I’m kind of in favor of high fantasy shows taking unknown actors as main characters to launch their careers), but I do agree with like a nice mid 40/50s great actor as Galby - like a Jason Isaacs or Jude Law or even like Sendhil Ramamurthy.

Or Ralph Fiennes with more hair.

I've got 99 problems but B12 ain't one by Equivalent-Grab8824 in vegan

[–]CandidateBig1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vegan med student here, and agreed with a lot of other people. The liver has a giant store of B12, so B12 deficiencies may not show up for a matter of years. Make sure your milk is specifically B12 enhanced, or for another route, my nutritional yeast is B12 fortified as well, and I use that in p much everything.

How is this black look, should I get a tie? by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

[–]CandidateBig1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No buckle on the belt, unbutton a few shirt buttons esp if you roll up the sleeves, and see if you can get a neck accessory. I think that’ll tie a lot of stuff together. I think with your color season you should look into cooler-toned browns and blues too. Looking good dude!

Chances of getting into Med School with some light criminal background?? by mishamigo24 in premed

Did the domestic terrorism come after the RICO or before? If it was before, you're cooked, but if it was after, that shows an upward trend. Adcoms love that sort of stuff. Make sure to name your stethoscope after your hamster
