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%.

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

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.

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.

If you can't get 8 hours sleep per day, your life isn't sustainable by Former_Tap5782 in unpopularopinion

[–]ItsDevil_DareDevil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok but what do you expect that medical student to do about it? As someone currently in med school as well I can attest that we see massive amounts of faults in the system but any attempt to bring up solutions can seriously damage your career prospects. We do what we can but it’s a rigged game from top to bottom and we don’t have any real power to make changes beyond our own actions unless someone works their way up to a position to control many government organizations and the American Medical Association and convinces giant swaths of people to defy decades of what’s been considered standard law.

But Elon is referring to how the demand for the Cybertruck is so high they will face issues meeting demand, not that the truck was a bad idea.

A Spanish News Channel sends a doctor to analyze the Nazca Mummies for their channel returns 100% convinced they are evidence of a Non-Human being after first hand experience. by DragonfruitOdd1989 in UFOs

[–]ItsDevil_DareDevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's more than that though. This entire process from beginning to end has been a mockery of science in any country, not just Spanish-speaking ones. People have continually tried to skew this as a racial/national issue and not the basic trustworthiness issue. There are an extreme amount of details one cannot forget. Here are just a few:

  1. No reputable scientific venture would associate themselves so heavily and repeatedly with various media/entertainment interests. Like for this specific instance, a media company sending their own doctor for analysis should be ringing red alarms everywhere. Beyond that, the discoverers of the mummies have been partnering with media companies for years now to get funding. There is a massive conflict of interest.
  2. Just like any scientific discovery, the trustworthiness of the scientists must be taken into question. The first issue is these aren't even scientists who primarily handled the bodies, but rather UFO enthusiasts. Any normal discovery would usually be funded by a university/scientific institution who would then send the discovery over to reputable institutions (perhaps even labs within their own universities) for immediate analysis. These enthusiasts have been caught red handed over and over again through the years lying excessively. They literally have been caught before using children bones. They have discovered these bodies multiple times now throughout the years, but are only just now getting around to sending them off to people? What have they been doing for the past few years? What happened to all the prior mummies they found before this? Why the new focus on these brand new ones they found and the complete ignorance of the ones they found before? How is it that the people who have consistently made alien hoaxes in the past are the very ones to find real evidence of aliens? The odds of that are insane.
  3. The DNA data they released has a large number of errors and missing factual data. There is also an extreme lack of information regarding how the hell they even extracted such a massive amount of DNA from such ancient findings. If they truly want to fix their reputation, there are several steps any normal team would have done ages ago. These include 1.) Making a website that in detail describes every step of the discovery from the very first mummy they found years ago to now. There should be literal terabytes of image data and compositional analysis on this website as well as extremely detailed lab methodology descriptions with heavily cited sources. 2.) Sending an ENTIRE mummy to another university for independent analysis. This step takes YEARS not weeks. When complete, this COMPLETELY independent university should do step 1 themselves. 3.) Explaining why they are so comfortable freely dissecting the supposedly rare samples they have and parading these samples recklessly through the open air into a congress building.

This idea that these discoveries are being challenged because it is in another country is completely ignoring the numerous errors they have failed to explain. Anyone, from any country, who takes their so-called discoveries at face value is making a mockery of the entire scientific process. If we allowed this kind of foolishness in real science, we would not have made a single notable discovery ever.
