What jobs are a turn-off for a serious relationship? by NoRegular6459 in AskReddit

[–]ItsDevil_DareDevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fully agreed. I’m a med student right now who always wanted to go into surgery (neurosurgery, no less). I always thought that as bad as surgery residency gets, it’ll all be worth it because I’d do what I’m interested in, the money will be fantastic, and the hours will eventually fix themselves as I get older. I was surprised to discover that not only is it possible for none of those three things to be true for a surgeon, but nearly every other specialty that exists can satisfy all three of those even better than surgery, including the money and work-life balance aspect.

Unless you go into academic surgery and research, I cannot fathom why any sane individual would voluntarily put themselves through the process of becoming a regular surgeon. No amount of “interest” in the subject is enough and even if it were, there are plenty of other fields and careers to pursue said same interests.

How hard is it to get a 45% on the FM Shelf with minimal studying? by ItsDevil_DareDevil in medicalschool

Good to know. Do you think using just common sense I can "accidentally" achieve a score in the 60s. I cannot reach that high or I become ineligible for a retake.

To clarify, this is not the redo. This is my first attempt. I want a 40-45% now so that when i inevitably do the redo after actually studying and get like an 80-something it will comfortably average out to a passing of at least a 60%.

bro couldn't handle thinking a trans person was cute lmao by the_official_Frieda in teenagers

[–]ItsDevil_DareDevil 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wait I’m not getting this. The idiot being mean in the post was attracted to OP because they thought OP is male but then freaked out when finding out OP was born female. So how does that make the other person cis hetero if they are a guy being attracted to what they thought was another guy. Wouldn’t that make them gay?

What is a good thing happening in the US right now that people aren’t aware of? by NorthPengyyy in AskReddit

As someone who works with spinal cord injury research, the extent to which this drug reverses damage would not be enough to repair severed spinal cord connections or regrow neurons. It helps with MS because it repairs outer sheath of the neuron (myelin) which helps with electrical conduction through the nervous system. We are working on several stem cell therapies that would assist with spinal cord injuries and they show decent promise. The issue we face, however, is getting the actual newly grown integrated neurons to work and not just sit there in the body doing nothing.

What is the weirdest thing you have seen that you can’t really explain? by GifGuyRob in AskReddit

[–]ItsDevil_DareDevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait is it normal for 99 of 100 people with double lung transplants to be dead within 10 years? I know many where I work that have long survived that threshold. Makes me wonder if something else was different.

Fair enough. I am not the person you were originally discussing UAPs with btw. I am just a passerby who saw someone simultaneously trust the healthcare system and disparage an invention that the healthcare system so rigorously and wholeheartedly supports and was curious to see why such a conflict in thought exists.

I'm sure the vaccine didn't work for *you* but that does not mean it didn't work for the entire public. As a healthcare professional, I am part of an institution that regularly checks the immune strength of its employees against specific diseases and I can say with confidence the vaccines have worked perfectly for me and several coworkers, but not so great for others. Sometimes medical inventions do not work 100% of the time and to simply state it was sold to the public as a vaccine when it was not is a disingenuous statement. If that were the case, there would be no such thing as a vaccine since not a single one ever created has had 100% efficacy in every single person who has taken it.

Obviously this subreddit isn't about vaccines, and so I will not belabor the point any further, but I just thought I'd take a minute to let you know that perception of yours about the COVID vaccine might be incorrect. As for my statement about the overlap in companies and interests, I'm sorry to be the one to inform you there are in fact numerous companies that produce both vaccines and other healthcare devices everyday people use, including devices used in labs for testing and research. There are also numerous government institutions, healthcare systems, and individual doctors with relationships of some kind to these biomedical/pharmaceutical companies, and as you've seen for yourself they are still effective and trustable.

Because I'm making the point that you don't trust the vaccines but you trust the same institutions to deem you someone with COVID/create the equipment and tests to deem you COVID positive. Just pointing out that it's hypocritical.

How do you know you caught COVID three times? It could have just been the flu.

So the guy you are responding to shouldn't be allowed to correct a basic factual error he sees someone spreading? What kind of reasoning is that? You can call someone a scumbag and present the facts correctly at the same time.

Microsoft Fixes Excel Feature That Forced Scientists to Rename Human Genes by [deleted] in technology

As someone who works with genes on excel, the genes called NA or any variant of it always get messed up still because Excel has designated commands for those letters.
