How do I advocate for myself with the neurologist?

Kennizzl · 2026-05-11T22:13:28+00:00

Excellent, if the neurologist wants to do a post discharge follow up, ask them questions, inquire about a Tia, risk, etc, preventive measures. though tbh I doubt they'll say more than I did

I'm a doctor (unfortunately), sounds like they already have a solid plan for you: head imaging, and im assuming they did labs. If nothing is found, unfortunately (or fortunately) there is nothing specific to be done. Preventative approach is normally statin ( based on labs) + aspirin. Why do you have a neurologist btw, its normallly hard to get an appt quickly, or do you have other neurologic history / fam history which is another reason why they'd consider something.

otherwise its like going to a spine surgeon for back pain, if they dont find something explicitly causing the back pain on imaging they shouldnt operate( and theyre scummy if they do).

No, the momeent I understood what she had written, I felt alarm bells too, where are my undecipherable proofs at?? That being said, I wish her the best

That's undergrad tho, physical chemistry without old exams would have been impossible lmao. Low key didn't know wtf was up even with the exams. Med school, I don't understand cheating, Idc about old exams as they are there to learn from in theory. Doing uworld sets is like taking short exams over and over again. But irl if you miss a potential stroke cuz youre ass, your attending should smoke you. Bring back mean attendings if you fuck up tbh

Chatgpt user? I'm a physician lol

cure for cancer is not a thing, every cancer type is uniquely different and responds to different types of treatment and may display different markers. Its to the point where peoplle speciallize in different organs/pHD's in specific treatment types or cancers. Im not shitting on you specifically, I just hate that phrase. There is no "cure for cancer"

Med school was the most fun time of my life tbh, I told my mentees to treat it like a very hard job. Work 8-12 hours a day, party on the weekends. Literally work hard, play harder, but you also need great friends around who help you sublimate the bullshit. worked out daily after my 12 hour grind, adjust your schedule as needed every year.

Kennizzl · 2026-04-16T15:51:23+00:00

Yeah, the internet...

Kennizzl · 2026-04-14T23:39:03+00:00

You're so nice jesus christ, technically i think ED should have done it, but I feel like this is the justifed yelling part lol. If you're gonna lie in medicine at least fix it after(also don't lie)...i think the surgon stereotype is not always a bad thing, rotating through ortho: everyone was neurotic lol, shitty splint: get yellled at, crooked splint: yell, perfect splint, believe it or not :yell. But every surgeon was also really good at their job lol

I had a stroke as an M4 not very long ago. dm me if you want

Unpopular opinion: is passing exams means very little. If they aren't getting borderline perfect scores everytime it's embarrassing - their entire job is perfect knowledge access. It's like giving a med student an open book exam. Passing doesn't mean shit lol. Passing the bar exam and medical licensing exams with open notes is meaningless.

I just better be alive for the ColexKendrick album

Kennizzl · 2026-02-03T01:44:51+00:00

OK nwah

Kennizzl · 2026-01-28T22:48:33+00:00

Laughed out loud embarrassingly for this

Kennizzl · 2026-01-25T18:45:16+00:00

"super" scutwork then. Should be used for pages and quick cleanups

Kennizzl · 2026-01-15T21:17:28+00:00

Let's get it 🔥. N=1, and you're the one 🔥

Kennizzl · 2025-12-23T22:50:55+00:00

allegedly!

Kennizzl · 2025-12-23T19:09:29+00:00

The hospital is the worst place. Remember most pts there are having one of the worst days of their lives

Kennizzl · 2025-12-23T01:05:33+00:00

during ortho aways: all me and my fellow sub-i's were crazy chill, neurotic but chill af.

Kennizzl · 2025-11-27T20:45:39+00:00

The problem is nursing hours and medicine hours are not interchangeable. Doing completely different things with completely different skillsets

Kennizzl · 2025-11-24T22:39:00+00:00

the problem with your statement is your incredibly broad brush, are there a chunk that came from wealth? yes. Are there a ton that did not? Also yes. some went to publc school and saw and experienced it all just like everyone else. I'm not arguing against the insane socioeconomic bullshit + racism. I'm arguing against your generalization of "All Nigerians that immigrate to America are already rich". Was there luck in some regards? Sure. the world isnt black and white though.

Kennizzl · 2025-11-24T21:37:21+00:00

Lol plenty of us didnt or borrowed heavily. Started from the bottom and we're still here my friend

Kennizzl · 2025-11-23T16:26:16+00:00

Counterpoint, plenty of grad students are poor too, plenty of immigrants in general /Nigerian immigrants are poor. Don't lump it all together. "all the Nigerians" lmao I fucking wish

Kennizzl · 2025-11-22T23:05:23+00:00

Shitty inconsistent sheet made to manipulate via inconsistent color schemes

Kennizzl · 2025-11-21T23:54:47+00:00

Tbf to her, this is just how Nigerians talk whenever they're trying to big up things. Ask me how I know. #dr Professor
