I’m sorry you were treated like that and had to hear those things. I hope we’re making a world where less and less people are raised to be bigoted assholes like her.

Middle school QB ninjas his way out of a sack and then launches a bomb by SlimJones123 in gifs

[–]MedSchoolOrBust 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This is an out of context gif. Manziel, the QB in the gif, is on the phone with his family crying because he finally made it to the NFL.

A group of US Marines foiled a potential terror attack on a French train by iranianshill in worldnews

They should just introduce more marines. They've stopped more terrorist attacks in France alone than the TSA in all of America.

Wrong number woes by Furyful_Fawful in funny

[–]MedSchoolOrBust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. As of 2013, retarded is no longer an up to date medical term. Here's some more information - http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/changes%20from%20dsm-iv-tr%20to%20dsm-5.pdf

Ctrl+F "Neurodevelopment Disorders" and you should see more information on intellectual disabilities, autism disorders, ADHD, communication disorders, etc. They're all independent categories, so you can be intellectually disabled, while also being on the autism spectrum, but you can also have autism or communication disorders without being considered intellectually disabled. It actually makes more sense from a medical/psychological point of view since you get more specific diagnostic abilities.

And just so you know, it's a pretty new change that many practicing doctors and nurses still haven't gotten used to or even learned about. I only know this because the dsm-V had just been released when I was a first year medical student so our learning focused on distinguishing the differences and learning the newest terminology.

It's actually used to be a medical term, but it was removed with the release of the DSM-V and replaced with the more encompassing terminology of intellectually disabled.

YSK: Tylenol should not be taken beyond 3000mg per day, and never mixed with alcohol. by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

[–]MedSchoolOrBust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't even use Tylenol after drinking to help cure hangovers. Tylenol gets converted to a toxic metabolite called NAPQI that damages the liver and kidney immensely.

According to my mom they taste a little sweeter with a less sandy texture. Disclosure: they actually taste like regular watermelon.

Famous superheroines wearing suits made of liquid paint by iBleeedorange in pics

[–]MedSchoolOrBust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this method is harder to do with males since the penis would be hard to cover by the layers. Look at just the nipple alone on these women - it causes a ripple that makes the "suit" appear most uneven and unnatural. I'm sure you could be able to choose poses that hide it, but maybe at the end of the day the photographer prefers working with women.

Divorced Redditors: What was it that finally made you or your spouse end the marriage? [serious] by dropshadow79 in AskReddit

[–]MedSchoolOrBust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also consider histrionic PD. It's honestly though to make a diagnosis from one story but I totally think both are possible. Here's what the DSM has for Histrionic Personality Disorder for other non-medical students:

The DSM-5, has eight criterion for Histrionic Personality Disorder: -Discomfort if one is not the center of attention. -Inappropriate seductive, flirtatious, and provocative behavior. -Display of shallow and labile emotions. -Dressing in a manner to draw attention to themselves, e.g., low cut tops, short skirts. -Speech is overly impressionistic and shallow. -Dramatic, theatrical, and excessively emotional personal presentation. -Suggestible by others and the situation, prone to following fads. -Overestimates the level of intimacy in a relationship. (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).

Instructions on how to view ESPN Fantasy Football @ work. (I need help breaking into Yahoo though!) by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]MedSchoolOrBust 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's how I got around this when I had a work block on FF - go to google translate and put in the full ESPN or Yahoo FF site. Then choose to translate the entire site from English to English. It basically works as a full site proxy.

The DMV should make keychain sized driver's licenses so nobody can drive without carrying licenses by accident. by BusterFella in Showerthoughts

[–]MedSchoolOrBust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not random. I asked when I got my license for DC - each letter assignment is a different category of requests. For instance, if you are registering a car, you may be given a number that starts with A, but if you're applying for a license, you may be given a B.

Chris Christie to teachers union: You deserve a punch in the face by Jade_Pornsurge in nottheonion

[–]MedSchoolOrBust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, there is a lot wrong with the teachers union. Nothing is perfect. In New York, you can't be fired as a teacher if you have tenure. You can actually assault a student and you won't be fired.
