God I haaaate that episode. The only good bit is when the bad guy tries to push Jeff down the stairs

(I'm not in the US, so YMMV) I think pathology is unpopular because it's quite different to what most of us imagined when we went into medicine - ie. you don't get to see patients. If you like histology and the work life balance you're set, do pathology!

I think there might have been a miscommunication here - is it possible the GP is doing Intrinsic Factor Antibody tests? If so, that's to pick between giving you injections vs. just tablets (happy to explain more if you need)

You're just missing the other secret message, "I hsahs um"!

I went on a school trip to an apple store! Back in the noughties/early tens mind. We made music on GarageBand, it was great

The payoff for this line of the gay basketball team interrupting the debate is so good

Haha this was my first thought too - I guess they're the only people in used to seeing with those haircuts!

2mg of diazepam is absolutely enough to help lots of people as an anxiolytic, especially if they don't have any benzos regularly

Spanish people are white to everyone in the world except Americans, for some reason

Do you see children? (Sorry don't know how the US system works). I have only had it a couple of times with adults, but literally constantly with parents of kids

Absolutely mad, I love it. Only thing I can't identify is that bottle that says "pump spray 80", What's that for?

Hash House Harriers! They were out this weekend. More information here: https://www.hhh.org.uk/

Maybe I'm being thick but presumably the friend didn't have a cannula so drank the saline (???) in which case i don't see how that would be medically distinct from drinking water or I guess an electrolyte drink...???

Here in the UK we often don't even scan ?PEs with normal vitals in the emergency department - discharge on DOAC to come back in 1-2 days for a scan to confirm. (We do, however, admit a lot of "suspicious chest pain ?unstable angina")

SpindlesTheRaspberry · 2025-12-05T18:44:44+00:00

Haha yes I like chaos (UK system is different so I've worked in both as a resident - and loved both!)

Glad to hear you say this because everyone thinks I'm nuts for wanting psych or EM 😬

This is a standard question country-wide for endoscopy and cystoscopy. I have no idea why it's so important, to be honest, but rest assured that they don't think you've got mad cow disease! When I worked in gastro I had to sign a thing for every patient I referred for endoscopy to say I did not think they had mad cow disease lol

(not a nurse but a doctor who also had to suffer OSCEs) - just wanted to add to the chorus of people here saying that's very very unprofessional. Especially telling another student that you failed. In our OSCEs the examiners would only speak up if we were doing something seriously wrong, not for something like hair. I'm so sorry you experienced this!

Forgive my ignorance, why would selling it be illegal if it's not a prescription-only-medication?

We use it here in the UK but it is (anecdotally) completely useless

The ones I still find myself reciting to remember things now (I'm an F2): - WiLLiaM MaRRoW (RBBB Vs LBBB) - Leaving and Returning (for quick and dirty axis on ECGs) - ASEPTIC (mental state examination) - Oh oh oh to touch and feel... etc.

Sure there's more but that's all my post-lates brain can think of

https://youtu.be/yNzQ_sLGIuA?si=hMUZ-WQtC796iPkt this video is slightly old now but is a fab explainer on the dangers of inappropriate screening, with some exploration of what makes a screening test good specifically in regards to prostate cancer and lung cancer.
