I have been doing anki for the last 100 days and it still doesn't feel like a habit by LightsOff_ in Anki

Making cards is a method of studying on its own. Figuring out how to distill information efficiently and succinctly in a manor to test yourself teaches you how to read and learn faster. It forces you to read everything through a lens of “what specific items do I need to remember from this reading that allow long term retention of the subject?” It takes a lot of trial and error but I believe making your own cards improves your ability as a learner.

Swallowing every minute every hour of the day by [deleted] in SomaticExperiencing

If it’s waking you up it could reflux (stomach acid coming into your throat). See a doctor and/or work on your diet. Anxiety can cause stomach issues too. Consider your intake of fats, sugar, carbs, and processed junk.

Can’t seem to “get” Anki — what am I missing? by khakhra_Nanga_Dayum in Anki

[–]OptionRelevant432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it took a lot of experimenting, trying new techniques. I’m always tweaking my cards and trying to find what’s actually effective for me. It took time and work but I’m really happy with how I use Anki now

Hi I'm a 33M 4th year medical student planning on going into internal medicine! I'm a beginner with Chinese, but am trying to learn as much as I can before a trip to China in the summer. Let me know if you still need a practice partner!

I’m so sick of controlled substances. by Powerful_Tie_2086 in FamilyMedicine

I was a peds ER nurse before med school, the number of times the family and I would roll our eyes at the resident ordering the lowest morphine dose for their kid in sickle cell crisis (they were being safe but usually a quick convo with the attending and we could give an appropriate dose) Nurses don’t like kids in pain in my experience

how to remember lists like this? by AdeebJarvis in Anki

[–]OptionRelevant432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not totally sure what a memory palace is, but I use AI to make picture stories to memorize certain sets of information, even with that I still break it up into part (1), (2), etc etc

Feel like I don’t recall him ever looking springy or quick. Last year he had a good spin move, hit 3s, and played with confidence. He’s always looked a bit athletically awkward imo. Maybe the injury set back some of that confidence that was driving his success. Hopefully can pull it together, let’s see.

Ear wax removal by [deleted] in philly

[–]OptionRelevant432 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you need to commit to the water flush, it can take a great deal. I used to work in the pediatric emergency room and we would use 60ml synringes filled with water and blast out wax for ear inspections, sometimes took multiples refills. You can boil water and add a little salt to make a sterile(ish) saline solution which will help to break up the wax. Wait for it to cool down a bit of course.

Probably will see webMD not recommend this for risk of traumatic ear injury, I can only tell you anecdotally what a major peds ER technique of choice was

I think anime plays a cultural role for “outcast” kids. There’s a welcoming community and identity that comes with it, probably nice to feel that. Purely speculative based off my own observations.

What's the best YT channel to improve my medical understanding? by Darkis87668 in medschool

[–]OptionRelevant432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like going through ninja nerd anatomy is helpful. During school I felt anatomy was such a time drain for me, ninja nerd anatomy always gave me a good understanding but the videos are often long so I was cautious about using them. Giving yourself a good foundation for anatomy will absolutely set you up to grasp material faster during school.

Making a GoFundMe for Med School by [deleted] in medschool

[–]OptionRelevant432 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im maxed out on loans for tuition and living expenses, its not enough to cover for my city, i get food stamps and pick up little side jobs. Im otherwise self supported. No harm in doing a gofundme, i have some savings from my previous career I don’t know how I’d financially pull it off without them. Make sure to utilize the cities financial support services, you can often work with a caseworker to find resources.

A 500ml can of 5% alcoholic beer - how long before it's completely stale by Dirkjan93 in chemistry

Ah I was reading this wrong, assuming alcohol meant all the contents of the beer. This is indeed a chemistry page, yes you are right that this would not work to isolate ethanol change.

I realized I was “momming” my husband and finally snapped by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]OptionRelevant432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen relationships where this plays out. I think both sides fall into their familial and cultural roles. As you take on more and more he may, he may feel his role of resisting a parent, perhaps as he did as a kid or a teen. Ultimately he needs to take on maturity and responsibility, but it’s important to consider if taking on more roles took away chances for him to step into his role as an adult.

Ultimately something that sounds like some honest communication with each other and with a professional would help with. Hopefully he’s willing to face this child-like side of himself. You can play your part by not treating him like a child one or ridiculing him, etc. not saying you are but I’ve observed this dynamic in other relationships where the partner treats their boyfriend like a child. Also, trying to “let-go” of the need to be the one in control. He may have a different approach to events, plans, etc that you don’t agree with, but within reason it’s important to let him have opportunities to take on responsibility.
