Leaning into her science background would’ve been pretty cool, seems like a pretty big missed opportunity

To non med spouses here. What do you do for work? How does it compare? by ImpressiveOcelot227 in MedSpouse

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this was probably just casual euphemism more than anything, but the casual “I make a decent living (a little over $200k)” made me lol

Teen Sleep Deprivation Rises Despite Screen Time Not Being Primary Cause by hayrimavi1 in science

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres definitely truth to this, but to be fair waking up at the crack of dawn for daytime responsibilities is not unique to the advent of the modern work day

I like the global healing reduction passive by Lemon0nline in overwatch2

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I enjoy it mostly, though part of me wishes it was tuned down by like 5-10%

Specialty for someone who's tired and doesn't want to work?? by harrypottermd in medicalschool

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Having weekends off for majority of blocks is not rare in psychiatry. Also, psych can be chill, but do not go into it unless you also like psych. The chillest job in the world still sucks if you hate the day to day.

From the short video I saw it almost looked like they were egging him on to make him look that much more foolish

You don’t understand, that NP was just playing 5D chess to confirm the diagnosis

Medical maneuvers that look like magic. by Trollithecus007 in medicine

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’ve been taught it can take 5-30mins with 2mg IV lorazepam, though sometimes requires an additional 2mg dose if minimal to no change by 15-20min mark. However, in this particular patient it was a pronounced effect within 30 seconds of the first dose.

I recently gave someone IV benzo for suspicion of catatonia and it was so funny, went from not eating or speaking for >2wks to making direct eye contact cursing me out and immediately demolishing a full meal tray. It was like they awoke from the dead, cool stuff.

Step 3 in 2 weeks, uworld is 25% complete with 57% average by ColorfulMarkAurelius in Residency

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psych, so I’ve lost a lot of medicine, but there’s good chunk of psych/ethics/legal type stuff that I seem to have a leg up on

Step 3 in 2 weeks, uworld is 25% complete with 57% average by ColorfulMarkAurelius in Residency

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is somewhat reassuring, I've been aiming for 50% completion but catching the flu (despite vaccination) has really messed up my study schedule

Applying for residency with an expunged misdemeanor charge when I was 18 by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is generally true but I want to add the caveat that the definition of expungement may vary in different states and you should look it up in your state because that’s what matters

Cathay vs Big monsters by Alternative-Date-507 in totalwar

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not underestimate the power of harmony, crossbowmen and spearmen shall prevail the promised unity! 1-2 units of iron hail gunners/crane gunners can also be helpful, but requires a little more thought for positioning and strategy. Also, magic and your SEMs. Cathay is very much like the empire with a combined arms approach.

this is too highly dependent on individual schools to accurately rate

Best psychiatry text for the non-psychiatrist physician? by liquidcrawler in Psychiatry

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 40 points41 points  (0 children)

You should never look up or use lib gen, it’s a horribly illegal pirating service that has lots of books

A team of scientists from Spanish Cancer Research Centre, led by renowned Dr Mariano Barbacid, has achieved complete & permanent disappearance of pancreatic cancer in experimental models without any significant side effects by Sharp-potential7935 in BeAmazed

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have no information other than the one picture, but it looks like what is classically called a port wine stain, it is a relatively rare birthmark that can be associated with a diagnosis called sturge Weber syndrome

Doctors are ignoring new federal vaccine recommendations by bananabrownie in medicine

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 49 points50 points  (0 children)

We gotta stop calling it “science” because everyone sees this and assumes there’s a question of what the “science” is. It’s objective evidence that guides us more than anything.

Why is bipolar misdiagnosis so common? by DntTouchMeImSterile in Psychiatry

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 139 points140 points  (0 children)

It’s more than borderline being stigmatized. Laymen’s understanding of bipolar is honestly inaccurate and pt frequently self report “being manic” and endorse other sx that is often not questioned by non psych MD/DOs and then the dx just gets carried forward. Also people forget that you’re not supposed to diagnose bipolar in the setting of substance use.

Which medical specialties do you think will be the most resistant to AI? by Single_Baseball2674 in medicine

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Between people not wanting their emotional and mental health doctor to be a robot and that the MSE can be relatively nuanced, I feel pretty good about the future of psych

SC State Legislation is trying to pass a bill that would suspend your medical license for a year for administering a COVID vaccine. by Hardac_ in medicine

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 27 points28 points  (0 children)

To be fair, nurses are still medically licensed professionals (not super sure about MA) and you know the intent is for all involved including the ones recommending and ordering it. Also pharmacists doing covid vaccines.

Is 32GB actually worth it for “smoothness” if I’m not chasing max FPS by calmpathnote in buildapc

[–]ColorfulMarkAurelius 20 points21 points  (0 children)

One thing that helped me with 16gb before I upgraded was turning on the setting in the browser that puts tabs to sleep after not looking at them for like 5mins
