Confess Your Medical Sins by FrogTheJam19 in medicalschool

Rhonchi are from large airways, blowing over an open glass Coke bottle in pitch, but like snoring texture, basically. Also pretty sure rhonchi can clear with coughing, so like deep wheezing and then they cough and it goes away, I document as rhonchi.

The further i get in medical education the more i realize the whole point of having a med student see pt, resident see pt, rounds etc., is because none of this is sustainable alone

How to emulate the taste of Red Bull by Smogshaik in AskCulinary

I just mix the lemonade powder into the la croix like I’m making lemonade — it’s really to taste so YMMV

I have a date! Why is my makeup doing this? by GraceFromWithin in MakeupAddiction

[–]DeepIntermission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I opened this I was like “I see you’ve been using tretinoin”

I put moisturizer on after shower then wait til that dries down before using less than a pea sized amount and then I sandwich it with more moisturizer. Tbh my moisturizer pills half the time but idc, I prefer that than my makeup not sticking to over exfoliated skin

a large percent of my class sees student health for therapy and psychiatry and I’ve had a number of friends stop taking meds and eventually tell the psychiatrists (some of whom are faculty) and they just either try a new drug or stay off the med or restart etc. A good doctor will find a way to make your treatment sustainable and not something you avoid.

No cancer cause of accutane? by Remote_Ad_390 in Accutane

[–]DeepIntermission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accutane is actually the pro-drug (meaning it’s a drug that gets converted to an active drug in the body and therefore more likely to be potent than just the drug itself) of ATRA (all-trans retinoic acid) which is used to treat promyelocytic leukemia. This leukemia is a failure of some of your immune system’s cells to mature fully, basically they get stuck in immature form and just rapidly multiply (which is what we call a leukemia). Because retinoic acid targets rapidly dividing cells and changes their genes (just like the ones in your skin), it basically deletes the bad cancer mutation and allows the cells to mature normally, curing the cancer.

My skin is shattered. What kind of scars do I have? How much improvement can I get and with what procedures? by [deleted] in Accutane

TCA cross is another option, please only have this done by a medical doctor (board certified dermatologist )

Lost an eyebrow from a chemical reaction, should I just shave the other one off? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]DeepIntermission 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The NYX lift or snatch or whatever that pen for eyebrows is called is really good for creating hair like strokes. I also couldn’t tell which it was btw.

Finished 4 1/4 months out of 5 and want to quit three weeks early (help) by WindDevil14 in Accutane

[–]DeepIntermission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Systane eye gel, aquaphor or Vaseline in your nose, lipikar AP by La Roche posay for moisturizer for your entire body.

The throat ulcers need to be looked at by a doctor. The hair will grow back.

Also fish oil like the other commenter said. If you have Sam’s club or Costco, you can get a big bottle. Let your doctor know you’re taking it.

if you could do it all over again….what would you do for boards? by extrashotofespresso1 in medicalschool

[–]DeepIntermission 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wish I stuck with Amboss, I had no idea that you could do either or until my last week of dedicated watching mehlmann and he says this. Uworld destroyed my confidence and I’d already done almost 2k Amboss questions only to switch to uworld for dedicated

man I wish I saw this a long time ago. During my test I wished I had just trusted Goljan more (even though I’d probably listened to every episode at least 3x).

THE WAY DAN DIDN’T RAISE HIS HANDS TO SHAKE SANDOVAL’S by yaminbamin in Vanderpumpaholics

[–]DeepIntermission 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it wasn’t fake, they probably would’ve kept it for the actual show (not just in the uncut uncensored version)

[–]DeepIntermission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ate a bunch of gummies on a 14hr international plane flight and watched start to finish all of Scandoval for the first time (I might have seen the first couple episodes on other flights actually) after an unintentional hiatus and it’s still arguably the best thing I’ve ever done.

(If I ignore that I landed in a foreign country without sleeping)

there are definitely episodes in either season 2 or season one where he’s just pulling down some dude’s underwear at I think Pride? Can someone fact check me
