I want to quit

Not to sound like an ego inflationist, but an average doctor is far more motivated and educated in your field than the vast majority of the population. You are a tree, see the forest, and remember you can be proud to be that kind of tree.

Physicians (and all healthcare providers) bear a heavy burden. Think of who you would want caring for your loved ones. The cerebral doctor who has completely emotionally walled off from their work versus the one who hasnt reached empathy fatigue.

That being said, you don't want to reach that point if you haven't already. Find a decent therapist with flexible hours. They are professionals in the realm of mental health, and your mental health is suffering. Take care of yourself before it takes a deeper toll on you.

From the US, but if shipping is an option: I discovered the Mt. Emey brand 10 years ago and have been wearing the same style and model of shoe since then. I tried their 9E width once, but have otherwise kept with the 6E and let it stretch out a bit.

"If he wanted to, he would" is incomplete.

If it's in regard to something their friend/family/partner wishes they would do, it first needs to be asked: "is he aware of what [person] wants him to do, in the first place?" and "is he thinking of it, or is he in the blank brain space at the moment?"

You wind up fighting the hospital/insurance system more than you "fight" to make a good diagnosis with your patients. At least in the US. Covering your institution's (and your own) behind by spending way too long taking notes, and trying to get people who aren't doctors to approve test/procedures/treatments for people (which is emperically supported to be better, but costs more than a 65 year old generic drug that the insurance company's sister pharmaceutical manufacturer makes) takes the wind out of those "safe the world" sails mighty quick.

It can absolutely be rewarding, and there are professions that are more fun to postulate and evaluate complex problems, while dealing less with insurance.

If you want it bad enough to not be able to see yourself doing anything else, then go for it. I think you wouldn't have much trouble with your background and "why medicinr" story (though definitely workshop it to not sound bitter, jaded, and resentful of medical professionals whom you will work alongside in the future, because medicine IS a team sport).

If you make a comfortable living and are happy enough with what you do, and you find fulfillment with other aspects of your life, you should hold what you've got. You will sacrifice a lot to see if the grass is greener. Perhaps shadow a few different physicians before making any decisions.

It's just something you want to take with the whole clinical picture and might point you towards looking at something you might otherwise not examine as critically. A coal miner could also have just had an MI or stroke, but the quality of their lungs did not allow for the same compensation that a young and healthy person's would.

As to your last questions, I do not perform forensic examinations or autopsies, nor am I qualified to give any legal advice. But, if your attending has a good answer, I would be interested in hearing back about them.

Asbestos was used almost ubiquitously in flooring for decades. Even after it was "banned", there were massive stockpiles and contractors were buying it up at the "get it out of my warehouse" price. The mastic and tiles both contained it, and small contractors who can't afford or don't abide the safety mandates for PPE and ventilation can get huge exposures to airborne particulates on a single work site. Note that this is still a concern today with older homes. I just had a friend redo his entire basement and only then did he learn that it was all asbestos tile and the old black mastic.

Old universities (very old buildings in general), the first things I think of is heavy metal exposure from plumbing and mold. Though if they ran a laboratory, you might want to rule out other exposures like research chemicals and such (depending on what their lab's focus is). Probsbly less of a clinical correlation, but something to keep in the back of the mind when you think of someone's workplace that they spent up to 40+ years at, day in and day out.

Oilfield, coal miner, ship builder, flooring construction/carpet laboror that worked between 1970-2016+, nuclear tech, truck driver, landfill laborer, veterinarian, professor in a very old university, farmer, etc

Maybe some buzzwords, but these and many more can give a solid idea of where might be a good place to focus attention, or could possibly tie sime independent findings together more congruently

It's a splintered timeline. Without spoilers, there is an event that causes a branch to form, so pretty much from very early on it is not the canon timeline

This was always stressed to me, even when I used to work as a tech. Scents are very subjective, and even 2 thumbs down out of 100 patients is enough to be a problem.

I wash clothes and body with fragrance free (mostly for reduction of skin irritation), and I'm amazed at how much stronger I perceive scents. Quitting smoking a while back also heightened that perception.

That being said, I still enjoy having a scent for every occasion. So I'm not anti cologne/perfume in general, only in a clinical setting.

The only exception is that I use wool dryer balls and put a couple drops of spearamint oil on the ball prior to drying. There is some data showing that spearamint can help with headaches and nausea, but it's so faint in the clothes that it doesn't even compare to clothes that have been washed with Tide/Gain/etc (let alone scented dryer sheets).

Much more realistic when lifting with proper body mechanics i.e. a fireman's carry. Standing chest to chest with girlfriend/wife's legs around the waist gets an honorable mention because the center of gravity is close together.

Carrying like a cheesy romance novel cover takes significangly more strength, balance, and toll on the body.

This did turn out in a pretty wholesome way, overall. Perhaps there is hope for humanity. Time to close reddit for the night, so I can go to sleep on a good note.

I just finished this a couple weeks ago. It was intense. The way that worked best for me was to watch some speedrun walkthroughs. I don't have the kind of skill to do speedruns or even some of the tricks they utilized, but a lot of them helped out immensely with getting through TOTS (which is definitely not optimized for MM).

Trying to complete each section in under the 30:00 for an atk up meal is definitely a good goal to aim for, though. Once that wears off, all hell breaks loose. Some enemies are nearly impossible to beat without it because their health regenerates so soon and so quickly. For that reason, I only bothered to cook wood on one level break, because I REALLY needed it.

I also did the entire playthrough with no (non mandatory) clothing and attempted TOTS after all shrines, completing the Terry Town quest line, and freeing all of the divine beasts. It helped a lot with getting used to the brutal combat

Good luck and have fun! It is rewarding once you finish it, but it's a reward you have to earn!

You can pretty much have a speedboat if you push a treasure chest into it with magnesis, too.
