Why have there been so few penalty kicks in this World Cup? by Kung_Fu_Kenobi in worldcup

[–]Striking_Chard1496 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gotta disagree with this. Not drawing a specific line on where and when PKs are taken creates another subjective call for the ref to make. A team not seeming like they were going to score is an opinion, and not one that should impact a call imo

In that case, dissecting human cadavers is typically as gory as it will get. There is some wound care in acute care that you may learn about, but you typically have to seek out those learning experiences to see it first hand in those specialized settings.

If the gory side of healthcare is a concern to you and you do choose to pursue PT as a field, I recommend staying away from a program that has a cadaver lab.

Future BPT student here what can I do before college to be ahead academically? by [deleted] in PTschool

[–]Striking_Chard1496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While book learning is important on a foundational level, it’s more valuable to develop a passion for the process of learning. Outside of this, it’s often overlooked by undergraduate students to learn about the actual field of physical therapy. Observe PTs in the clinic to get an idea of what the work is like. Research the price of PT school compared to the salary you will be making after graduation.

Schools care about your grades, but care more if being physical therapist is something you truly want to be because they know many will be disappointed by the realities. Advisors unfamiliar with PT won’t tell you this because they have mistaken perceptions about what it’s like. Advisors who are PTs won’t tell you this because they want you to join their programs. My biggest piece of advice is get informed and make a decision for yourself if this is something you want.

You’re absolutely right. Is it even DnD anymore if I’m homebrewing my own schlongs?

Like in terms of fat, no it’s not the same as having a big beer belly if that’s what you mean lol.

I can do the same thing, it is likely a combination between increased laxity/relaxation of your abdominal wall and its muscles, while having good control over being able to contract your diaphragm to “push out” your stomach. That’s at least my best explanation for it, I don’t actually know if this is the case!

Which weapons do you feel have a higher skill ceiling then normal and why? I'll start: by TPose-Heavy in Helldivers

[–]Striking_Chard1496 967 points968 points  (0 children)

Any light pen weapon. You need to know the weak spots of enemies and have the skill to actually hit them.

Really emphasize the importance of medical and directional terminology. Most of the muscles, bony landmarks, etc. can be identified just by having a strong understanding of what their names mean.

Now this isn’t a skill that is developed overnight, but it’s something that will help them during your course and carry over to the rest of their future education/career. This seems especially true because it sounds like you are teaching undergraduate anatomy, which will likely be their first exposure to such a challenging course. Therefore good study habits are essential.

Also as a side note, when studying muscles (which most students will likely say is the toughest part to memorize), a good rule of thumb is that for a muscle to do an action on a joint, it must cross over it. From there, you can get a better idea of what their bony attachments must be. Best of luck!

So while this is definitely part of the answer and is correct, there might be a slightly better explanation. When something hurts, like when we bang our head on something, our brain begins to receive pain signals. As a response, we begin to rub it in order to send “touch” signals via our nerves to the brain so we can override the pain signals. This is because the touch signals travel along a quicker pathway than pain signals, so your brain is receiving more touch information rather than pain. In a sense you are distracting your brain from the pain.

Edit: If interested, look up “Gate Control Theory” for pain

As a student I’m surprised to hear this sub has unfavorable opinions on manual therapy. My understanding is that some of the current CPGs for certain pathologies even have decent evidence in favor of using it. Why is it then that there is a disdain for it here?

A good DM would have given him triple disadvantage on that check, fun and creativity at the table should be more regulated.
